Yes, I own two books by these two authors. This one and Lucid Dreams in 30 Days: The Creative Sleep Program. But my review now is for this book. I haven't yet fully read the other to give a detailed review. And on the subject of out-of-body experiences or astral projections I have 2 books, this one and Astral Projection for Beginners by Edain McCoy.
Compared to Astral Projection for Beginners, this book is a shorter and more concise read, 94 pages versus APFB's 222 pages so one could read this book in the span of an afternoon. However the way this book is structured, its not meant to be read that way. The book is divided in 4 chapters which are the weeks of the Free Flight Program described in it. Each chapter is divided in seven subsections meant to be read one each day. So if you followed that formula, you'd read the whole book in 30 days. But the book does tell you not to take it all in a span shorter than a day. My opinion is you can read it all in the span of a day, but not practice all the techniques in the span of a day. It also teaches a critical technique called Alert Relaxation, which the body is deeply relaxed yet the mind is acutely alert. I know this technique has been used by stress researcher and sports psychologists for many years. You can find the instructions for utilizing this technique on page 6. But unlike Astral Projection for Beginners which teaches 6 different techniques for astral projection, this teaches only 1. But you are free to modify that technique to fit your needs.
Now, I'm not saying one book is better than the other. In my eyes, both Have an Out-of-Body Experience in 30 Days and Astral Projection for Beginners are equal. Each book fits the needs of two types of people. If you are a very busy person with a very active lifestyle, I'd suggest this book. But if you are a very spiritual and more relaxed person who can make time in your daily schedule, I'd suggest going with Astral Projection for Beginners.

Keith Harary. You can find this name at others astral books. A good astral traveller and tested by laboratary with good result at 1970. In his book, he gave us imagination technique for 30 days with much variations each day so you can develop this ability and make you able to have an OBE. Yes,I can said this book was a guided imagination book. But you'll find how fast you'll have your OBE. Don't worry if it seems difficult to follow the instructions. Make variations ! You'll find this at the end of this book.

This book was an interesting read, and I tried some of the ideas suggested in it. I can't say that I was walking through walls, or travelling through space. However, by trying the ideas suggested in this book I began to have extremely lucid dreams. I was able to become fully awake and alert in the dream state, and that was liberating in and of itself. I had never been able to do that before, and, until it happened, I didn't believe it was really possible. By the way, it's a lot of fun, but nobody will believe you if you tell them about it the next day (as I'm sure most of you reading this probably won't). It is possible, but you also have to psych yourself up for it somewhat mentally and believe. Sad to say, but I'm still in the cradle compared with those who are buzzing around their neighborhoods. Fun, easy book.

What these authors are telling you to do is use your imagination, For example you could become deeply relaxed then imagine that you are a character on Sesame Street talking to to the muppet in the metal trashcan about the environment. I would highly recommend Robert Monroe's books instead of this because for one you can get a more realistic mental picture of his words & feel his experiences & most of all I find Monroe completely honest + believable.

I have been studying and exploring altered states for many years and find this wonderful little book to be the best on the subject of out of body experiences. The deceptively simple exercises are presented in a sensible and easy to follow format and really work. In my experience using these exercises and sharing them with friends and family, different exercises appeal to different people more than others (everyone has their favorite) but there are enough techniques presented that everyone finds their way and the results are great. I like the fact that the authors do what they say in presenting a sensible handbook of practical exercises rather than a lot of bogus mumbo jumbo. Anyone looking for phony promises or easy answers about the meaning of life should look elsewhere. The book is also clear in suggesting additional references for people who want to learn more about the lab research, including the groundbreaking experiments done by one of the authors. Anyone looking for an honest handbook presenting serious exercises for those willing to make the effort to have an out of body experience should look no further. This one is definitely the best.
