      STEP ONE: DESIRE

      YOU WANT IT

      Most early travels are ‘unintentional’. They are subconsciously motivated by desire and poof you’re out. As you’ve read, my tumble from bed followed the basic principle that drives both the ‘subconscious unintentional’ travel and the ‘conscious intentional’ travel. The principle is desire. I’m tired of the word ‘tumble’ now.

      Desire is the first step, the real oomph pushing the ‘nonphysical travel’. For instance, if I ask you to go over and pick up that penny, you have a few choices. You can choose to pick up the penny; you can choose not to pick up the penny; or you can choose not to believe there is a penny. Regardless of your choice, I’ve tricked you into visualizing the penny, even if you think there is none, which is important and we’ll get to that soon. We’re not in a hurry. Well, at least I’m not. If you have things to do, stop back later. And bring me some nachos.

      To continue, if you chose not to pick up the penny or chose not to believe it exists, then you’re no fun at all. But, nonphysically speaking, if you chose to pick up the penny, that becomes your ‘desire’ that triggers your ‘action’ that becomes your ‘destination’ and so you travel from your body to fulfill your desire. It’s a happy circle that brings you what you desire. Weeeeeeee.

      As you can see, even a simple desired ‘action’ like picking up a penny can ‘trigger your travel’. Say that three times fast. But what if the penny meant a lot to you? What if you and that penny had been through some good times together? That penny and you are the best of friends. So now, instead of going to pick up the penny as an ‘action’, your bond with your beloved penny aims you like an arrow of desire. You want to be with penny. Penny means everything to you. Penny is calling you. Off you go!

      That’s one example of ‘ramping up’ your desire to reach your ‘destination’. You simply ‘focus’ your emotional bond with a person, place, object, or action, and allow yourself to go to it or do it.

      Instead of penny you could’ve used a loved one as your ‘desired destination’. It’s been so long since you’ve seen (insert a name of someone you can tolerate here). It sure would be good to see them again. Remember all the fabulous times (make up some lies) that (insert name again) and you used to share. You really want to be there with them. You’re so looking forward to being there. Off you go.

      That’s another example of ramping up an emotional desire that ‘pushes’ you from your physical body. But maybe you don’t like anybody. Maybe you’d rather be alone at that creek by your house where it’s nice and quiet and water rushes by and trees sway and there are birds and tadpoles and it smells so fresh just hanging out by the creek. Off you go.

      That’s the final example of ramping up an emotional desire, until I change my mind and write more later. I think you get the concept, but I’ll repeat it anyway. You take your strong emotional desire for a person, place, object, or action, and you focus on the bond that connects you. You want to be there. You want to go now. Off you go.

      FOCUS AND DESIRE

      Any emotion may be used as a ‘focus’ to keep you ‘alert’ until you’re ready to get out of your body. Happy emotions include joy and love. Unhappy emotions include anger and fear. Anything that you feel in your day-to-day life may be used as a ‘focus’. The happy emotions are usually more pleasant to use as a ‘focus’ but the unhappy emotions can be useful and fulfilling as well, if kept in check.

      Another instance from my experience, since I’m the only one typing here: I hate-hate-hated working at this store in my past. The store was a combination glass bricabrac and jewelry shop. The work was sooooo boring and inane. After work, while home in my bed, I’d ponder the last wretched eight hours. I’d ‘focus’ on letting it all go in the best way possible: I wrecked the place in my thoughts. The store never stood a chance. Although I would never do this in my real life, as I’m the non-violent type, I would trash a few things while relaxing in bed. You can too and it’s a lot of fun.

      You may utilize your anger and aggression as a ‘focus’. This intense ‘focus’ keeps you ‘alert’ as you drift off towards physical sleep. By being ‘alert’, while your body sleeps, your chances of achieving a conscious travel greatly increase. Another benefit of this method is the release of the unhappy emotion. Like a primal scream, the volume of your anger will relieve you of stress. You simply focus on the emotion until your physical is snoozing. Then you let go of the emotions and re-focus on your traveling ‘plan’.

      For example, I’d imagine smashing the displays in the empty store with a baseball bat. Glass shattered and soared from the blows. I’ll get you, hand-crafted glass ashtray! Take that, silver necklace trinkets! I’d run around the store smashing and thrashing. Nothing was safe from my baseball bat. And then I’d hear myself snore. During my focused frenzy my physical was being ignored and did what it was supposed to do, it fell asleep. The snoring was my ‘signal’ to now re-focus on my ‘desire’ and go traveling.

      When you use an ‘emotional focus’ as a method to leave your body your ‘imagery’ will be all encompassing. It will exclude other thoughts. It will center you. You will be in that moment of emotion and release. And then POW!, you’ll realize that your physical body is sleeping while you are completely awake and alert. It may be that you hear yourself snore while using an emotional focus or any number of other ‘signals’. As I’ll explain soon, you have time to make a cup of tea, these ‘signals’ will alert you that your body in bed doesn’t give a care if you venture out for a while.

      As we’re here anyway, I’ll give a brief example of a focused emotion that scares you into staying alert while your physical sleeps. I was going to present a happy emotion as the example here, but I figure you can imagine little bunnies hopping around a flower garden without my help. Instead, I’ll talk about sharks.

      I love man-eating sharks. They are just so cool with their skills and teeth. I studied them quite a bit following that movie that scared everyone out of the water. They are fascinating creatures. And if I were ever to be stranded, clutching that big toilet-looking ring out in the ocean, I would be scared beyond words. I just know I’m going to be mistaken for a seal or floppy fish.

      This method of emotional focus works almost too well. What we are afraid of creates an intense imagery. You simply allow yourself to get sucked into that vortex of fright, if you can handle it. You take the ride until your physical falls asleep, and then you re-focus on your desire and it pulls you from your body.

      The water is so dark. All I can see is the ocean’s surface reflecting starlight and wave caps. I wish I’d remembered to put that five dollar plug back in the bottom of the boat. Hey, what was that?! A ripple in the water just moved past, twelve feet long at least. Ack, there’s another one! Something nudged me, I just felt it! Oh, this is it. I’m creeping myself out. I have to stop.

      During the shark imagery my physical would quickly drift
