That is a problem because it seems to correlate with ADD and ADHD. Witness the rise of these "disorders" as people began watching more and more TV and movies, which typically put you into waking Theta within 5 to 15 minutes... and effectively train your brain to stay there when it should be in Beta.
This is also supported by the fact that my ADD/ADHD aid works, and it is based on the concept of shifting the brain into Beta (fully awake) and training it to stay there while you are awake.
Aside from that, training for at-will astral travel seems a bit beyond the bounds of my little niche here.
I think that makes sense. My friend and another one I know who does astral travel sometimes gets their nose bleeding... I don't know if this is an effect but, the idea of being able to train the mind to switch from beta to alpha to theta is kinda nice skill-set i think. Its like a on/off switch where you only turn it on when you need it to. I think the one thing common in people who does astral travel is their ability to focus, concentrate and silent their mind. Anyways, just sharing some thoughts.
