First AP experience?

So after reading about AP I finally decided to attempt it while using a video guide on youtube that has a 99% like fee and the comments are very positive.
I was doing this morning as my everyone was getting ready for school and work while I was in bed going to sleep. or suppose to anyways. During there is a part where the person speaking counts down to basically where you should get into a AP state during this time and after I felt my hands and feet not held down but just sort of staticie and during the entire process my arms and legs felt difference. And I during the countdown it would be like I was I passed out and as soon as my family made a noise I would then be zoned in again and here the count down, was I going into a AP state but my family's noise interrupted me? Also after a bit of the count down my right arm was laying flat on the bed and it jerked up and I felt it jerk on to my body over my pelvis area and after some time that same arm twitched just a little bit the session ended and I was awake. I guess I was awake due to be awaken from my family.

Can anyone please help me?

Not sure why you would need help? It looks like you're bouncing in and out of the wakeful/sleeping state.... this can be a bit spooky (actually only in a
western culture where we're convinced that everything's physical) but outside of fear itself there's really nothing going on that would hurt you... you step in
and out of this state every night, only now you're starting to tune into this process... this level of awareness may actually take years to unfold naturally... so no hurry... :^)

Just to explain why I felt that way through out think and why my arm jerked/twitched.
I did feel at one point as a point of separation I recall feeling as I was getting lifted but not floating or I can't recall floating or even looking around my room.
I will admit whenever I listen to any meditation or bineral beats and I close my eyes I don't feel safe I feel as something will come and grab me. >.<

This last line says quite a bit! And this is probably why you're needing to go about this slowly... Our imagination is potentially unleashed during these
episodes. If you're feeling deep fear then it would be most helpful to first address that... explore the part that fear plays in your life... watch how it's
manifesting in your waking life if you can, before trying to tackle it in this less defined environment?

Here's a link to my current hero on the subject of most things AP. He covers some of this in his interviews. I particularly like how he's surrounding
himself in a bubble of white healing light, both in his waking life, and while he's out and about... He's been doing this for 35 years so far and no negs
yet... I've yet to meet a serious one either... so, outside of the imaginative creations, you should be perfectly safe!

(I've been posting this link often enough lately that I probably should make-up a signature with it in it! :^)

[Astral Explorer]

You should be careful what you allow into your reality when it comes to videos on Youtube. I am not saying everything on Youtube is lies or false but anyone with any opinion can make a very alluring video on Youtube that could make you believe their point of view quite easily. There are some valuable videos on Youtube surely and I do not know if the one about Astral Projection is one of those or not. But I know for a fact there are much better sources to learn how to Astral Project than videos on Youtube.

If you are truly interested in Astral Projection first it would be wise to learn everything about it you possibly can. Then it would be wise to learn how to ground & shield yourself. Then you should read even more about Astral Projection and how prepare yourself for what may happen on the other side. Then you should meditate everyday for at least 30 minutes a day. Finally you should take all of your knowledge you hold now and skill at meditation and begin to attempt to Astral Project. My point is if you just watched a video of Youtube and think you can just dive into Astral Projection that quickly you will have some not so pleasant surprises.

Thank you both for the replies. I have been reading about both AP and lucid dreaming for a few months. As for the video it wasn't more of a meditation, almost like a hypnosis to get me to AP. You see I know nothing will attack me or what not but when I close my eyes and listen to the hypnosis, How would Allow myself to remember in AP I am safe? In the hypnosis he says imagine your self in white light that protects you. I guess I would apply that while I undergo trance and it can carry over?
