Why can't I?

OBE is something that has fascinated me for years. I have read many books, used guided meditation audio and video, but I can never seem to actually do it.
There have been a couple of times when either a friend or family has reported that they saw, heard, or sensed me. But I have never been able to achieve it consciously so that I can control it or remember it.
What am I doing wrong?

Probably nothing.

Has anyone here tried the hemisync techniques pioneered at the Monroe Institute?

The Monroe Institute

I've always been curious, but unwilling to invest required time and $$

The only time in my life I have ever experienced a sensation of rising up out of my body was (no kidding) listening to the closing bars of the Beatles "A Day In the Life" from Sgt. Pepper. I've wondered if the sound track might utilize related audio techniques.

Yeah, I know--sounds silly. No mind altering substances involved BTW. (darn it)
