From what I have read, the keys to successful AP are physical relaxation, a quiet mind, continual focus, and a strong intent/desire to project.
Physical relaxation is very difficult if the body is in pain or the legs are twitching. We keep on being drawn back to bodily awareness. You could try self-hypnosis as part of your preparation for AP, to help you forget about the body. Your local library may have books on self-hypnosis.
