Wrong way of technique???

Visualization is a useful tool. Perhaps you should try combining the techniques and visualize exiting your physical body completely.

Just that, or trying to get out at the same time???

Astral projection is mental and/or spiritual vs physical. If you accidentally focus your actions on your physical body you'll disrupt your attempts. You should visualize and focus your energy on exiting your body while attempting to separate your consciousness from your physical body.

This helped. Thanks a lot!

I prefer to visualise an outstream of energy pouring out of my body, into which I form an astral vessel for my consciousness- this normally takes the form of myself, but can take the form of other things. I then work on shifting my point of view from lying down to actually experiencing what this form will experience.

Astral projection is really simple, there is just a knack to it. But once you get that knack, you are sorted. It took me years of trying and I was competent with the theory. I found that my own thoughts and trying too hard got in the way. Once I stopped trying to force it and instead eased into it, I seemed to find it natural.

Thank you. :)

im a little late on this response but Koi Fresco does amazing spiritual videos and others but this is an amazing video he did on astral projection.

Strong visualisation, concentration, energy, patients

Keep in mind, projection is not an easy practice, it really does take time for you to successfully do it, as stated, do visualization, it helps your mind and imagination get you out of your physicalbody. It is also a good idea to meditate more, meditating is focusing on your breathing, as projection is. You can reach the trance state over a thousand times and you still have a chance you won't fully come out of your physicalbody, it may be your spirit guide or guardian angel telling you that you are not ready (by my own opinion). Have patience with this practice, it is very difficult and it's different to everyone. You will reach a successful state, you may want to make practicing a hobby or daily basis.

I have to agree with everyone else and say that maybe you need to practice more.
It took me two years to separate my astral body from my physical body ( that was a mistake though because the time I did it, I didn't mean too, long story )
Ever since that one time, I've been able to recall the feeling and slip into the realm regularly.
Try visualizing more often.
So I hope I helped, May the Sun be with you
