advice on astral projection ?

hello bro's and sis's
i have been trying to AP for a while now, but i feel i have had no success. i get to the point where my body feels paralysed and when i move it feels as if it is me 'leaving my body' only to find that i am infact moving my physical body. i have read on another thread that you do not actually leave your body but it is your conscious swtiching to the astral plane. any tips on how to AP would be greatly appreciated.
ciao

EDIT: i have been listening to paul santisi guided astral projection audios, which seem to help me get to the stage in which i am stuck in.

I'm right with you on this one...
I have only Ap'd once and it was more of a lucid one.. not able to do it again.

I get to the point where my body stiffens and I have the urge to roll over or move. I try to stick out the feeling but end up rolling over and either get stuck awake or fall asleep.


There are a few exercises that are supposed to help you, like focusing on your heartbeat or breathing...

Not sure what the trick is to move into the astral plane..

I have heard though it feels like your are moving your physical body and it does feel real... but then I've heard it's not real... I don't know.. very confusing.

I also have tried the santisi guided mediations, but I can't shift into the sleep mode because of the sounds..

There is that sweet spot where you are drifting to sleep where you have to concentrate and let your body sleep while your mind is awake.


Any tips would be awesome!!
