Greetings!
I started to (mentally) chant FARAON as my chosen method to experience an OBE a week ago.
Hereby I have my knees bent, lay on my back and visualize the pyramids.
During the days I also chant, for one full hour, the mantra EGIPTO.
Now my questions for which I hope to find answers here.
1) Is FARAON meant to be chanted until you fall asleep, while chanting it, or is it meant to be chanted for 1-2 hours, then to stop and to surrender to sleep?
2) As I simply can’t fall asleep while laying on my back, is this mantra still „effective“ even if I turn on my side?
3) As I also can’t fall asleep WHILE doing any technique (thus, chanting a mantra or, especially, visualizing anything) - because this keeps me too alert no matter how tired I am - can I also stop doing the visualizations when turning on my side? So that I only chant the mantra FARAON, while letting go and trying to fall asleep?
4) Is this mantra only effective if chanted immediately before (falling a)sleep, or is it also effective if chanted 1 hour BEFORE falling asleep?
This one I ask because often, after chanting the mantra and stopping, I have much trouble to fall asleep, laying there for up to 2 hours with „insomnia“. When I finally fall asleep, the mantra has „gone“ long time ago out of my mind, so to say..
The only possibility would be to restart with the mantra, as I recognize that I have insomnia, but in this case I even prolong the time being awake, thus shortening my sleep-time..
Many thanks for answers and / or even some insights / advices!
