[Thanks for all you're suggestions folks!]

Thanks for all you're suggestions folks! I'll be trying again shortly as it's now 10:00PM here in the UK.

One question I had in mind was, sometimes when I'm trying to astral project, I can feel myself falling to sleep as I'm so relaxed! But I can't give into going to sleep because I can feel my consciousness slowly shutting down with my body (Like when I go to sleep on a normal night) So I try to keep my mind awake but it forces my body to stay awake too because I'm forcing my mind to still be *aware*

In a way my body is saying: "I can't shut down unless you stop being mentally aware! Stop being alert so the rest of your body can shut down!"

Am I supposed to drift off to sleep like normal then? Or do I still need to try and let my body shut down separately but still be alert "upstairs"?

Thanks for your help guys! Still hoping, after 12 months lol!

[Hey guys!]

Hey guys! Apologies if this question seems a little noob-ish, I'm just frustrated because i've been trying Astral Projection for almost a year now and still haven't had an out of body experience...

Like some of the other beginners on the site, when I try to AP I lie down, close my eyes & do all the necessary stuff but never actually make much progress, I feel light years away from getting anywhere NEAR the vibrational stage, and I've had endless attempts over the previous months...

I've been suffering from a problem since childhood that can't really be helped in the physical plane, & I know I can seek the help I need with a spirit guide or by visiting the Akashik records, so I DO have a purpose to Astral Project, I know where I'm going & a burning desire to get there, so It can't be a lack of purpose holding me back exactly...

I kinda forgot about AP as I've been so tied up in my studies, but I was given this week off & I've been attempting to Astral Project every day, I always try at night before I go to sleep & I've even used binaural beats to help me, the only progress I really made was the ability to relax a little easier every time I tried AP, but no progress with the projection itself...

Last night however I DID get so relaxed that I started to lose a lot more feeling in my body than normal, until I felt like one stiff solid object (a bit like Han Solo frozen in carbonite haha!)  I tried to deepen this condition as Robert Monroe recommended, but I just stayed frozen solid for a good 20 minutes, I was hoping the Vibrational stage would soon follow as my mind was still conscious and at the same time I could feel my body sleeping soundly, but nothing else happened & I ran out of time in the end 

In my frustration I've doubted the authenticity of AP, thinking it was just a gimmick to make more spin doctors richer with their "false" spiritual programs but despite my lack of progress I still deep down believe AP is genuine & that maybe I might just be doing something wrong...

I've heard advice for Astral Projecting during the day & night, but which one is best? I tried morning projection today but It felt impossible compared with trying at night, when I do fall asleep though I notice my dreams are a lot more vivid since I've been trying Astral Projection again...

Would anyone be able to recommend good methods for inducing sleep paralysis & the vibrational stage?? I feel so behind after trying for a year and only just bordering the Paralysis stage, I thought I would have mastered it by now!

Thanks for your help guys I appreciate what you do on here, keep up the good work! & happy travels
