Similar to Astral Projection in that it involves trance and apparent out-of-body
experience, some people I know have achieved much success with this method. Personal
approaches vary, but usually involve making oneself comfortable in a darkened and
preferably quiet room. Sensory deprivation is claimed to help. Playing meditation music or the recorded sounds of horses has
also been recommended. One then simply 'lets go': a blend of imagining oneself in the
form of the animal one wishes to be, and ignoring one's human body.
I once read an account in which a woman put herself into a trance whilst staring fixedly
at the Nordic rune 'Eh' or 'Ehwis'. This rune can mean 'god' or 'divine power' but can
also mean 'horse'. Eye witnesses say they saw the woman suddenly tense and to see her
moving her limbs as if running on all fours and then cry out like a horse. The witnesses
claim they had never heard a sound like that emerge from a human throat before: if it was
a hoax, the woman had a vocal talent without parallel (The neigh of a mare or stallion is
a chord, and impossible for a single human to accurately imitate). When awoken from her
trance, the
woman later described running across frozen tundra, surrounded by horses. She could not
recall if she herself had been a horse - only what she saw and felt.
