Update:

I just tried an AP; Wow! I'm learning a lot.

I did relaxation, (toe->head, x2) and then went to a light trance, using repetitions of "Down", and imagining self on a cloud decending into a deep pit, feeling the fall as I say "Down" and exhale. Soon, in a light trance.

Sort of muddled about in light trance for short while. "What now?"

Started doing rope, but not really into it, shifted to yoyo. Started to feel the "up" intention over my body, but felt very loose. Then focused on rope.

Something happened, and I suddenly felt the sensation of urgency. Strange, no? But it was a feeling like: "Something is going to happen." I focused on the feeling, and suddenly, everything changed- I felt like a tractor beam was pulling at me, trying to lift me up by the 3rd eye. Kept doing rope, and felt like a powerful river was going up into a grate, but I was too big to go through the grate. I felt myself, and realized that my forehead was convulsing, and by body was tensing all over. I relaxed myself physically, but then sensations became more intense, and my body (fear response?) would tense up again..!

There is also a *feeling* of intention, and for a period of time, there was a direct corrospondense between "I am going to project now" and the intensity of sensations. I kept going forward, feeling fear, back, feeling brave, forward, feeling fear, back, feeling brave. And all through this, there is a sensation of being in a river flowing around my third eye.

"If I could just relax my body and face, and keep doing rope. If I could just ignore the sensations, and get out..!"

I felt many other things too, and I wasn't able to mentally name them, and thus can't record them. I remember feeling like the back of my head was like lead. I remember feeling like there was a warm fire in front of/on me. I felt distinctly forward, and I felt an expansion of myself. There was vibration, and it felt like I had overlapping (but slightly out of sync, or perhaps differently felt) hearts.

My heart beat SLOWED when I said, "Enough of this for now." and got up, excited. I shook myself vigorously to get up. I still feel a slight buzz.

I did not make it out this time, but I now have a lot more data than I used to, and I've got a looooong stretch of time before me wherein I will continue my OOBE efforts. Mon-Fri, trying Yoyo/Rope, and Saturday for study.

If you can do separate daily sessions, you can do energy work and trance earlier in the day then do a separate OBE attempt later. Doing rope and / or the yoyo method will relax you, put you in a trance, and stimulate your main chakras. This way you can both do your energy work and then have all of your concentration for an attempt to get out of body. It is when you want to do more advanced projections such as sustained real-time zone trips or going to the mental planes that you will need to do energy work immediately prior to going out of body.

There is not much you can do with this sort of thing. For me, it is the eyelids, which sometimes start blinking both frequently and more forcefully than necessary. The energy is for some reason triggering the muscles in the area. We have discussed this sort of thing before without coming to any particularly helpful conclusions. Several times during the day it might be helpful to put a small amount of energy through the area to wash away whatever happens to be causing the energy to stick there and accummulate.
