Its important to commit fully to the experience. You might start to feel scared or nervous while this begins to happen, especially since in the beginning this is very freaky experience. But if you panic it will stop it from happening. And you will wake up.

If you ever feel like your body is paralyzed or you can't move, that means the OBE is starting.

Focus on meditation and controlled breathing few weeks before trying this. And keep on trying to have an OBE, sooner or later it will happen.

Im not sure about this, because i've never done this type of experiment. You can try asking the video poster. But you might have to pay or something to be part of the experiment.

This is not really the experience you feel in an OBE though, i understand what its trying to do. But when you have an OBE you have a disconnect from the sensation of touch, you feel like a ghost. Also, more strange is the ability to "sense" things.

keep on trying to induce OBE, i guarantee you it will happen.

There's several ways to induce out of body experiences. Mostly, before you go to sleep you need to relax and focus on controlling your breathing.

The main way to get into an Obe, is to feel nothing, no smells, no sound, no sight, nothing before you fall asleep.

Just float in the darkness and relax. Strange things will begin to happen after that point. You will feel sensation like floating on water, might hear sharp noises, loud static, whispers.

Its important to relax, or else it wont work.
