any ideas?

I'm not so sure. Maybe trying focusing on the vibes. They generally engulf my entire body.
Your focus would amplify them.

You're making progress. Be glad. It'll improve over time

Thanks man!
you have given me so much help, but I cant give you anything I return.

I feel as if I am really close to AP, but I cant induce it.
I can relax EVERYTHING (to the state where I have little hand/leg twitches occasionally) and let my body take over, as if I am sleeping.
I feel waves of energy flow through me. Sometimes I feel a cold breeze briefly.
Also last night I felt strong vibrations (for less than a second) in my back.

How close do you think I am? 

Hi. My name is Blake and I am 15.
I have been looking at the forums for over 3 months, but have registered last month.
I have been trying AP for those 3 months.

Not using a pillow, and sleeping on your back in a flat position with your hands on either sides is known to be the most relaxed position for all your muscles in your body. Not using a pillow helps your neck avoid strain.

Regarding how close you are, you can read what I have posted in the following link: http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/how_close_am_i_to_an_obe-t46642.0.html

I did what you wrote and got so much closer. I feel 2 vibrational pulses in my back and then it dissapears. Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks for the help!

Hi.
My name is Blake. I am 15 and have been trying to acheive AP for 2 months.
I have a feeling that I am close!

I can easily relax my entire body. I relax it to the point where I can barely feel my body (it goes numb) and I start to get a small tingling sensation, but nothing close to vibrations (I only felt them once).

How close do you guys think I am?

I think my problems include relaxing my neck and head.


Also what should I focus on? The first time I tried to AP I unintentionally did the heart chakra method (raising heartbeat greatly), but haven't been able tor create it.
Thanks!

I can relax my body (not enough for sleep paralysis and seeing things) easily and start to get a small tingling or vibrating sensation in my feet and hands. Sometimes a wave-like chill (or energy) comes over me for a second and dissapears.
How close am I to reaching the vibrational state and AP?

It used to happen for me too.
The problem here is not the saliva or the swallowing. It's your fear and misconceptions.
You fear/believe you will lose trance if you disturb your body, or swallow saliva etc but to be honest it won't really affect you much. It's actually your constant worry and thoughts about these that actually trouble your state of mind
I advice you keep cool and worry less about these. Even in case you lose a bit of trance (which i believe wouldn't happen), you will gain it back if you stop worrying about it.
Keep a calm mind state.

Thanks for the help! I can easliy say that this is one of the best explanations I have read.

Whenever I try to do astral projection I feel something making breathing difficult. If it is very minor I go into a snore (not that bad) and am somewhat fine.
Any idea on how to combat this uncomfortable feeling?

Whenever I lay down and relax my body I can start to feel low-intensity vibrations moving from my feet and hands to the rest of body, slowly building up intensity. The problem I have this that after a short amount of time, the saliva in my throat kinda slither back and makes it feel uncomfortable/difficult to breath. Whenever that happens I swallow it, losing my 'trance' and having to start again.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you are doing fine and you are getting there.   Keep doing with what you are doing and you will get there.   I cannot say for sure of course.    It happens to me but I am not ready to ap as yet.   I just have to wait and be patient.   If I wait long enough I will ap.   I would not try to spread the vibrations as it is unnecessary.   You can get the slightest sensation and you can ap.   

Thanks for the help m8 

1) Don't be too tired when you're going to bed. You should have a good amount of alertness. So retire early
2) Relax and watch your BODY fall asleep. (This may sound weird, but yes, your body can fall asleep though your mind is active).
3) The twitching and itching is natural. Happens all the time. Reduces over time. It's your brain checking whether your asleep.
4) Keep your mind relaxed and don't think about anything much. Just observe your body. Google on "mindfulness", you'll get the gist about what I'm talking here.
5) Don't wait for anything or expect something. These will keep your mind occupied. Moreover, the symptoms won't always appear. It can also be a smooth exit.

Thanks heaps for the help 
You helped answer a question I have been searching for, for ages!

I have been trying astral projection for around a week now.

Currently my method is to:
1. Lay on back, hands out and stop moving
2. Tell each individual body part to relax
3. Focus on breathing
3. Wait for vibrations

My fingers sometimes get a bit of a jump, my eyes feel like they move rapidly and I feel as if I have to blink when my eyes are closed and my face randomly will twitch.
I also feel small vibrations in my hands and feet, but cant spread it to my body.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
