This particular travel was initiated by visualizing the front door of my home. More specifically, my primary focus was the peep-hole in the front door.
In my visualization, I "looked" down my darkened hallway. I could "see" the light shining through in one small circle. I reached for that point and that light, both drawing it to me and allowing myself to go to it. And before I knew it, I had collided with the front door. (More like a BMMMFFMP! than a WHOMP!)
And while we're here at the front door, please allow me to elaborate upon a few points of physical and nonphysical interaction (I'm gonna anyway, so you may as well play along).
Under normal circumstances, when you travel, you will not feel any discomfort from slamming into or through a physical object. Oh sure, it can be jarring the first few times but no worries, ay? (Uh oh, aussie kicking in.) It's not like a physical gutzer. And that's the dinkum. Okay, I'll stop.
There are two reasons you may encounter something (like your physical front door) blocking your way:
1. Your nonphysical is vibrating very close to that of the physical environment.
2. You may have a bit too much "you" with you. In the most general sense, you have brought along some of your physical density as you travel.
Either situation is easily overcome by a strong desire to get past the physical object. It is this focus that triggers an increase in the speed at which you vibrate, and reduces the amount of density you're hauling with you.
I'll break it down one step further (for those of you studying along at home:). The focused desire, to pass through the physical object, triggers a chain reaction of events.
Start. You are out of your body. You encounter a door. You desire to pass through the door. It feels "solid" (due to the reasons I have just covered). You WANT to get through the door! Your demand triggers an increase in your vibrational speed (beyond that of the slower vibrating physical object). You lose your excess physical-density (as this increased vibe-rate can no longer support the "weight"). You slide easily through the denser and slower vibrating door (or whatever:).
So, realizing that I was bringing too much "me" along for the ride, I increased my vibration and plowed through the door. Then, I changed my mind (I'm fickle). I went back through the door and down the hall. I skinnied by the screen, and went out to the balcony. I dangled my "legs" over the side of the railing.
And then, in true nonphysical fashion, I pushed from my perch and floated slowly, the long way down, to the path below. And that, my friends, is worth the price of admission all by itself.
Short of space-walkin' (I'm waiting for the call, NASA), travelin' is as close as it gets. Although you may never be chosen for a shuttle mission (sorry, I am not giving up my seat), you can still enjoy weightless delights. Oh. And you don't have to drink Tang.
Following my leap to the path, I went here and there and did this and that. Yawn. Ya think I'd bore you with my whole night's adventure? As if. Besides, then I'd stray from my point. Whatever that was.
In my earlier example, it was my front door's eye-glass. I have looked through that tiny, circular piece of glass many times. I focused on that small area shining through in the dark, and the connection pulled me out to go looking through it again. This, of course, is a small-spot "sight" example.
In your thoughts, you re-create the sight, sound, smell or taste that you associate with an action.
Let's think up a few small-spots, shall we? It should be lots o' fun. (Or perhaps only moderate o' fun, but what else have you got better to do?)
As you read mine, think of a "small-spot" that should work for you. Later, as you move towards the awake/sleep line, stay focused on your small-spot.
Me (shouting from the couch, where I am like vegetation):
"Looky see the mails here Sassafras. I can sees that ol' flag as clear as day. Best be thinkin' on gittin it. Don't take dogs and cats writing novels to see that the mails here."
You can use that annoying ring as the small-spot. "Hear" it ringing in your focused thoughts and go to answer it. Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring (I can keep this up a long time folks. Ya better go answer the phone.) Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring.
Or perhaps you "hear" your spouse's whiny voice calling to you from the next room. Or you "hear" your mom and dad shouting for you to come get your hair cut. (Don't bother going to these two small-spots.)
Good traveling to you in the new year, my friends.
As always, please write regarding your questions, attempts and successes.
