Moving meditation (yoga or tai chi... or just moving normally but in an in-the-moment state of mind.) Meditations with, or without, music and incense and crystals. But I mainly say "void" (think nothing) or "focus" (think of one think only and nothing else).
"can you die when AP"
As long as you have your body, I don't think so. Your body might become a catatonic/comatose husk of a person if you don't come back... but that's still a kind of life... and even if your astral body takes enough damage that you think you should have died, if you go back to your physical body then it can heal up again.
This is to be done when going to bed. You need something to focus on; if it is in view the moon, the stars, a crystal, a favorite doll will work well... Use whatever you like.
Just not a Candle or anything that burns!
This method involves the body falling asleep, and you should never leave anything that burns unattended. I usually use my crystal ball for this.
Place the object within your view and lie down in your bed. Just stare at the object as you doze off. The first few times may be frustrating. You may just fall asleep and that's it. But after a few tries, this worked for me.
Keep staring at the object. As your eyelids become heavy, keep staring. Eventually your eyes will close, but you will still be able to see the object. You will still be staring at the object. Sit up or stand up, and don't be surprised to see your physical body sleeping peacefully in your bed!
some peeps have mentioned vibration.... stay away from higher vibrations of yellow and white... those can vibrations are to high an you can lose your body to other beings/spirits....walk-in tend to destroy your body because they don't own it.
I heard the opposite: stay away from low vibrations or else things get scary, and it's impossible to lose your body to walk-ins because they don't have the silver-cord connection.
I agree with Ravyne, i read that when you are on the higher astral you feel very happy and it is beautiful there. But what are these vibrations, how can i vibrate when i project?
Baldr-- Some people have their first OBE at least, as a very violent experience: like you're caught in an earthquake or a seizure. These are supposed to be your psychic "vibrations" changing from lowest to higher, taking you through the realms.
But, I haven't felt any vibrations since the second time I went out of body, so... *shrug*
Another tip, I read from Robert Monroe's OBE book "Far Journeys" (but I want to get "Journeys Out Of Body", because that's his first one): Visualize a spider's web around your space. It's connecting the world you know, to the astral. The astral is a different vibe than the physical, so the strings should be humming. Visualize grabbing the vibrating strands, and pull them towards you... and you can have vibrations this way.
royalblood31- I had mine well-developed before APing, but others say it's not necessary... or that an OBE might even open your third eye.
