Trading Places Exercise
Objective:
To trade places (mentally) with a dog or cat, or other animal.
Setting:
Home, Zoo, Wilderness, etc.
Instructions:

1. Relax your body as completely as you can. Calm your mind, eliminating all thoughts which do not relate to your intent and purpose. Sit so that you are comfortable, and as nearly as possible on the same level with the animal you will be working with. Lie down if you like. The important thing is that you are able to comfortably make eye contact with your animal partner in this exercise. It is also important to satisfy yourself that the animal is likewise comfortable and secure with you.

2. Take a deep breath. As you slowly exhale, look into the animal's eyes, and imagine that a part of your awareness is being transmitted through your breath into the animal's mind. Watch the animal breathe, and imagine that a part of its awareness is being transmitted into your mind.

3. Continue looking directly into the animal's eyes until you fell your consciousness merge with the animal's consciousness.

I'd like to try this, sounds fascinating. I might have trouble to get my rat to stare at me that long though lol Even if he will sit there wondering what I'm doing on the floor near the cage, he'll probably fall asleep while I'm trying to get in the right state.

LOL! that is so funny Lena.

Maybe it would be easier if you made that your intent the next time you have an OBE. Robert Monroe writes of this in one of his books. He transfered his consciousness into the tiger and became the tiger for a while.
