From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Allan Monroe (19151995) was a psychic researcher and author of Journeys Out of the Body, a 1971 book that popularized the expression "out of body experience".
Monroe was a conservative Virginia businessman who had his first out-of-body experience in 1958. After much experimentation, he founded The Monroe Institute and developed a method he called Hemi-Sync to induce mental states that are favorable for astral projection. Hemisync is a synchronization of the brainwaves of both of the brains' hemispheres or lobes. This is achieved by altering brain waves using sounds, together with meditative instruction, listened to on headphones. The process is based on a concept known as binaural beats.
Robert Monroe was the author of three books:
Journeys Out of the Body ISBN 0385008619
Far Journeys ISBN 0385231822
The Ultimate Journey ISBN 0385472080
