when i tried the rope technique i got nohwere,but i tried this other tech about a door and when i started going through it slammed shut like something didnt want me going through,hhmmm,i think i achieved astral travel once,but i resisted and came back into my body becouse of certain peorsonal cercomstances i would not like to mention,i think basically meditation will eventually help in astral travel/projection. but thats just my openion.
