up unwanted negative energies from the other person and have
your own quintessence of life force drawn out.
Once more it should be remembered that during night practice
your etheric body becomes significantly more dilated and open
than during normal sleep. So even if you live with someone, share
a bed and have sex with him or her, it is preferable to keep some
distance while doing night practice. It does not make any
difference whether the other one is practising with you or not.
In practice, how far apart should you stay? A distance of 1.5
metres (5 feet) is fine. So if you share a bed the advice is: leave it
during the practice and come back once you've finished. This will
also diminish your chances of falling asleep in the middle. I
suggest that during the practice you try to sense how far your
etheric expands and discover for yourself, as always, what the
right distance should be.
However, you will see that the presence of somebody else
practising with you in the room, provided there is sufficient space
between the two, is rather supportive. The combined astral
energies of the two people help overcome the dullness of
unconsciousness and make it easier to maintain some awareness
during sleep. Astral travelling is significantly facilitated. It could
be that in the coming decades a new form of socialising will
appear...

There is one common feature to all the techniques in this book:
maintaining awareness between the eyebrows. Whether you are
meditating, seeing auras or dowsing earth lines, you always keep a
focus in the third eye. But there is one exception to this rule:
night practice. It is not advisable to switch on the vibration in the
eye while practising the techniques of psychic sleep. And there are
a few simple reasons for this.
While practising channel release you may have noticed that when
awakening the vibration in the hands, a stimulation of the energy
automatically takes place, both in the eye and all over the body.
This has a grounding effect: if you are feeling somewhat sleepy or
‘floating’, it re-anchors you inside your physical body and wakes
you up. What creates this, in terms of subtle bodies? The type of
strong vibration generated in your eye by rubbing your hands
pulls the astral body into the etheric. This movement of the astral
body is similar to what happens when you wake up. You become
