pointless because they are practically one and the same. More often than not, they will both either work or not work. This is why techniques should involve various types of sensory perception: visual, audio, kinesthetic, vestibular, imaginary sense perception, and internal strain. Remember that priorities and goals change with time, and that a technique that fell flat during initial attempts may unexpectedly prove valuable later on. Be flexible. No set of techniques should be carved in stone. In fact, the set may change several times over the first few weeks as the practitioner discovers what produces the best individual results. To close this section, a list detailing the most effective indirect techniques has been provided. This list was compiled with classroom data from the Phase School and may prove helpful in determining an effective set of indirect techniques. The Most Effective Indirect Techniques at Phase School Seminars (2010-2011) Swimming Techniques (Imagined Movements) 25% Phantom Wiggling 20% Observing Images 20% Rotation 20% Other Techniques 15% SEPARATION TECHNIQUES Let us begin with a totally shocking fact: during 50%(!) of successful indirect entries into the phase, it is not necessary to perform any specific phase entry techniques, as separation techniques are immediately successful… This has been statistically proven at Phase School seminars and in the analyses of other sources. Conversely, an incorrect understanding of separation techniques may lead to undesirable consequences. It is possible for a practitioner to enter the phase state and be unable to separate from the body. Therefore, it is very important to understand how separation techniques work since they are often a key to success.
