Thank you Xanth for that link! It was very useful in helping me more fully understand the experience!

And Thank you Solarity for the explanation of the music playing or not. I just woke up so I'll definitely be trying that!

Thanks for the replies. I tried it this afternoon and was able to do it for a brief moment, but by the time I realized what was going on I was back in myself again.

Is it a bad thing to have music playing very quietly in the background? I usually always have music on in the back as I find it nearly impossible to do anything without it on... but I have read quite a bit that says silence free of distraction is paramount to starting it all off... Any thoughts on this?

I was wondering if anybody could advise if I am doing something wrong or not. I'm quite new to the effort of AP, but very familiar with the literature on it.

Last night I gave it a go and got to a point where I no longer had "feeling" in my arms, legs, neck and lower part of my face (mouth area). I could feel myself trying to get out of my body, but I think my awareness of the fact that not 100% of my body was absent of physical feeling is what kept me from leaving my body. I didn't feel any vibrations, but knew that my astral self was ready to try to wiggle out.

I understand it will take some practice before I can just come out, but I was wondering if my paying too much attention to if my body was relaxed or not was keeping me from being able to get out?

Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
