If you have wanted to have an out-of-body experience, but were intimidated by books on the subject, Out-of-Body Exploring is for you! This is an entry-level-to-expert book--everything from what OBEs are, to how you can have your own anytime you want. Preston Dennett began his explorations beyond the physical body nearly twenty years ago in an attempt to contact his deceased mother. Thousands of OBEs later (OBEs lasting anywhere from a few seconds to several hours) he turns his attention from mastering the art to helping others. Out-of-Body Exploring includes Dennett's initial forays into expanded consciousness, sharing the techniques he experimented with, and discussing the people and sights--both strange and familiar--that he encountered along the way. Plus, he offers tips on how to go reliably out-of-body, and how to control and maintain this enhanced level of awareness for extended periods. This is a guidebook to a whole new world. Why wait any longer to explore it? "A very valuable book...it deserves a wide audience." --Bob Hieronimus (Radio Hieronimus) "As a very informative introduction to the phenomenon of astral body travel it is unsurpassed...colourful and amusing...an excellent introduction to a rapidly expanding genre. I give it my heartiest recommendation." --Gordon Phinn (Author,Eternal Life) "The fact that Dennett did not use Hemi-Sync makes the book more authentically what it sets out to be--an account of one man's dogged struggle to explore beyond the physical and the great success he eventually achieved. Because Dennett did it the hard way, Out-of-Body Exploring is all the more worth reading. Though subtitled A Beginner's Approach, it offers a model for developing one's own abilities to the expert level. --Matthew Fike PhD (The Monroe Institute) "What I loved about Preston Dennett's Out-Of-Body Exploring is that it is filled instead with very personal experiences direct from the guy experiencing them, including tips and techniques for attempting the very same OBE he has had and is now able to control. Written with a personal warmth and honesty, Dennett's book documents his own discovery of his ability to leave his body during lucid dreaming, and beyond...Dennett is a great guide, compassionate, humorous at times, and always deeply personal, insightful and wise. He, after all, has been there, done that!" --Marie Jones (bookideas.com) "This was a good short book on lucid dreaming, astral and/or OBE. I've read other books on the subject, but this would be a good one to begin with. The practical advice is concise and to the point. I've started practicing again recently and decided to read something to help me with the practice. I had similar experiences as the author, it was quite interesting to read." --Katie (Goodreads.com) Acknowledgements Introduction 1. Early Out-of-Body Experiences 2. The Desire Body 3.
