I am new to projection and don't know if I'm doing it right.
I lay in bed and get comfortable,
Then I meditate and lose feeling in my arms and legs. Then in my body.
Then I imagin I'm lifting myself out of my body.

You need to enter a trance state. That is the most important aspect. The meditation and not feeling your body is making way for the trance. When you get into a trance, your head should start to spin a bit or you'll see lights dancing. You shouldn't be able to see the blacks of your eyes, they should no longer matter. This is almost like forcing yourself into a lucid dream.
At that point you should begin feeling yourself "float". No need to imagine anything, it will happen. Don't freak out, you can't fall! Lol but it may feel a little unsettling the first few times. But becoming startled by the sensation may pull you back. When you feel steady and completely disassociated from your body, then you can think of where you want to be and you will appear there.

Once you're out, you need to adjust yourself. Feel the ground under your astral feet, walk around a bit, clap your hands, touch your face, look around, listen. Then you can go around and explore.
However, I always insist that people become acquainted with their guide, animal or human, before astrally projecting for the first time. Before you travel, ask them to come with you. They can be a big help to show you around and keep you out of confrontational situations while you are new to AP. Always listen to them! They know best.
well i think that the advertising guy is perfectly fine. he isnt advertising his business or selling items. he is simply referring the asker to a resource that he feels may be helpful. I know some of you may feel anoyed by him saying that but scene it wasnt any kind of money making thing, he wasnt breaking any som rules as far as I know, so he has the legal right to post that. Legal right? yes legal right because he has the freedom of speech and even if he isnt from america, he still has human rights which include freedom of speech. just saying.....
anyways, about the question. I would reccomend that you have some kinds of quartz crystals or stones that give off energy. I have a necklace with a bunch of quartz crystals and before i got it i had your problem. i could get close but i could never separate. when I did it wearing the necklace, the first time i failed bc my dog was barking but after that, I have had success. The energy from the crystals is not powerful enough to wake the body but it is powerful enough to keep the mind awake which is what you want. It gives you that little boost that you need. also, you arent supposed to forcefully separate. just have patience and eventually, you will separate naturally.
to enter a trance, all you basically do is meditate. allow me to explain.
when you meditate, you are slowing your brainwaves down. when you are in a trance, your brainwaves are in the theta state (i think) :P. In order to get there, you need to meditate until your brainwaves are in the theta state. you should first start to lose the feeling of your body (as you mentiones above), then you should lose the sight of your eyelids (as somebody else mentioned in this forum), then when you start seeing stuff other than pitch blackness, you are in a trance.
