The Mork from Ork Muscle Challenge Do you remember that old TV show with Robin Williams? The one about the alien living on earth? He used to have a hand signal that became popular with school kids. Hed hold his hand up in something similar to a Vulcan greeting (a la Star Trek). In this gesture, the ngers are straight and formed into a V by creating a space between the middle and ring ngers. Now, if you learned this when you were young, youve already build the physical wiring and muscular response to do this with ease. BUT, have you ever tried to switch the ngers so that they become more like the letter W, with the middle and ring ngers next to each other and the pinkies and pointer separated? Go ahead and try it. See if you can alternate between V and W while keeping all ngers in alignment. Not too easy, is it? But if you practice long enough, youll actually train your physical body adding specic wiring to your physical brain to do this easily, without even thinking. Learning to astral project consciously is basically about programming yourself, just like you did when you learned to ride a bike.You have to learn to plug into your OBE abilities, plug in your consciousness plug, ick the switch and hey presto youre there!

The trick here is to memorize the sensations in the receiving hand while you are doing this exercise. 3) After about 20 seconds, stop and try to feel the same sensations with your mind alone. Focus your attention totally on what you are doing. 4) Do this for about a minute or so, until you can really sense the same, stroking feeling. You might also feel tingling, pressure or even buzzing in your hand. When you do, you know youve activated your etheric body in your hand area. Well done! Youre well on the way.
