Interesting observations:

Did you know astral projection was a natural  phenomena?

During dreams we float unconscious to the astral world. On occasions we wake up in a drowzy state in the astral. This is referred to as lucid dreaming.

Interesting observations,

Did you know talking to people dreaming in the astral  results in them dreaming of you?

Try it for yourself. The next time your flying around stop by a friend. If the person is dreaming have a conversation.....

Call them the next day or two-ask what did they dream about.

Astral Projection Techniques

Listed below are several tried and true techniques. I will list my opinion on how to improve these techniques in italics. You must remember, everyone one of these techniques have worked for someone-you will need to find the one that works for you.

Slowing down the heart to achieve astral projection

This method requires one to relax all their muscles, and slow down the heart beat to the point of projection.

* Don't even try this method if you have a heart condition*. This method is one of the easiest and scariest methods to try. 

After 15-20 minutes of concentration the body will begin to vibrate. This is the point of projection. This method produces dramatic sights and sounds. Hense, people often become so frighten their heart beat picks back up (beats faster) and the projection is lost.

My advice, is to focus on the intended location during the projection stage. If this doesn't work,  use the Ganesha obstacle removing mantra.

'Om shri Ganesha yah Namaha'

Repeat mantra over and over..........

Visualizing pulling oneself up by a rope

This technique requires one to be STRONG in visualization. It produces little or no results to those who aren't ! 

Lay down on your back, close your eyes, and breath normally. Now, see yourself (ASTRAL FORM) pull itself up on a rope. Move up the rope slowly: see this clearly (or there's no point to doing it). Soon you will notice that your consciouness is above your physcial body.

My advice, see and feel the rope in your hands as you move up. Try to isolate your thoughts of your physical body (its important to disconnect).

Using your sense of smell

Many have found sucess by burning insence while trying to project. You can purchase premade astral projection incense from any new age/occult store.

My advice, try making your own using myrrth and frankincense.They both have high vibrations, and connections to the astral plane.

Using drugs to enhance astral projection

My advice, Don't be stupid!
