Raduga has updated his free online book and below is my brief outline of his current introductory method

1) 6 hours sleep, wake by alarm
2) drink glass of water
3) go to bathroom
4) re-read these instructions
5) stay awake 3-50 minutes
6) focus attention on mental review of indirect cycles, fall asleep

Below, if you start to get a result or something strange, suspend cycling to the next step and keep at whatever you are doing to intensify, then try separating
7) upon waking naturally, try to separate for 4 seconds by rolling, levitating or standing up, non- physically

Pick 2 or 3 of 8)-12), do 4 repeat cycles before returning to 6)

Indirect Cycles
8) imagine rotating on a head to toe axis, 4 seconds
9) vividly imagine swimming, 4 seconds
10) peer into darkness of closed eyes, through any images that form, 4 seconds
11) imagine feeling, seeing, hearing rubbing hands in front of your eyes, 4 seconds
12) imagine wiggling your hand or foot, 4 seconds


13) go back to 6) 7) 8) -12) as many cycles as time permits

Does this PMR make my butt look big?

I have seen some Raduga's videos from "Learn OBEs in 3 days", his methods seem to be pretty good and effective.

His attitude in those videos was that OBEs are mostly just an imagination, just another kind of lucid dreams, and also he seems to be skeptic about "paranormal", "astral" ideas. Strong vibrations, "leaving the body", "silver cord" and other often reported experiences of first OBEs are explained as an illusion, part of a dream.

About the seemingly high rate of "3-day OBEs" success - while watching his videos, it seemed to me, he counts also cases when a first-time "OBE-er" experiences only a short glimpse of lucidity.

Michael Raduga's ideas seem to be close to Stephen LaBerge's attitude, putting more accent on psychological effects and practical techniques. But the major difference is that M.Raduga is also trying to attract the people, who are seeking for "astral" and "OBE" experiences. That is why M.Raduga is actively using those scientifically unacknowledged terms, although he himself seems to not support those ideas.

Maybe I misunderstood something, but that is the impression I got from his videos and while communicating with his "followers" on Raduga's official Russian message board: http://aing.ru/

That is pretty much how I see it also midix. It is probably a good idea to filter out most of the info except for the basic techniques themselves. Then one can just go draw their own conclusions. I have implemented some of the techniques into my own with good success.
