I learned to project at around age 10, I can give you some tips but I'm still trying to figure out what happened the last time because something freaky happened to me. But if you message me I'm willing to help
Well, I started astral projecting a couple years ago. I ended up saying "screw it" and went with my instinct. Its different for every one of course. What worked for me, (feel free to modify the technique if you want) went something like this.
Sit or lay down in a comfortable position, I found laying down works best. Play quiet, meditation music on low. Just loud enough to disrupt other sounds. Relax you body and begin to loosen up. Any tenseness may cause distraction. Roll your ankles, neck, shoulders. Pop you knuckles, neck, toes, and back. Stretch your arms and legs.
Lay Down and close your eyes. Take 10-20 deep breathes and visualize yourself, as you are. Visualize your energy as a bright light, sourounding your body like you were under water. Visualize a second version of yourself, above you. Completely devoid of that energy, and color. This is your astral form. Still breathing deeply, visualized that with each breath in, you are gathering a little more of the energy. With each breath out, you are sending it to your astral form. Eventually, your body will run out of that energy and will look like what your astral form was when it first appeared. You will notice there is a golden line connecting the two bodys. That is your ticket home. Your connection to the physical world. Now. We need to start moving. Visualize your hand. Try to twitch your astral fingers. To make them move. But not your physical fingers. That comes later. Once you are able to move your astral fingers, try to roll the wrist. Slowly work your way up the body until you are able to move all of it.
Congratulations, you are now in control of your astral form. Now, its time to explore. Look around. Where are you? When I first used the astral form, I was in a blank room. But when I thought about my room, I was able to appear there. Try looking around the house, explore a bit. Remember a specific little detail. Try to find something you didn't see before. To wake up, find the golden cord that connects you to your body. Tug on it. Or follow it. When you are at your other body, begin the process of re-transfering the light/energy. After you are done, start twitching your bodys fingers to wake up. Be sure not to just open your eyes and move around. That's dangerous. After you are fully back in your body, go to that little detail you found. Was it there? Be sure to eat and drink after you travel or use magic. It takes energy.
Good luck, safe travels.
Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again.
Blessed be.
