My awareness of my astral body - some experiences

[Timandra]

I know many of the other forum members are projecting and astral travelling sometimes or often, but because I don't have these experiences yet I would like to share how I became aware of my astral body, which happened quite recently. I became more interested in obe's in December last year and started to read books and look on forums. At the same time these experiences started to happen.
(Dec. 14-'08)  I woke up one morning but I didn't move and kept my eyes closed. Then I felt how I was going downwards about 4 inches, slowly. It felt very soft and I thought it was great. It was the first time ever that I felt my astral body.

(Dec.29-'08)  I woke up and for a moment I felt hands around my face. When I opened my eyes there was no one.

(Feb.6-'09)  I felt how my legs were moving, but my physical legs were still. It felt very peculiar.

(April 5-'09)  I woke up in the night and for a moment felt very light, weightless. It was great and I wanted it to have lasted longer.

(April 6-'09)  I woke up in the morning and I felt that I was smiling, and then that smile disappeared. But, my physical face was relaxed and not smiling so it must have been my astral face. Again, it felt very peculiar. And I was wondering why I was smiling.

Perhaps this is a sign that an obe will occur in the future. I had many other experiences in the same period of time but they problably better fit in one of the other forums. (spirituality).

These are sure signs of AP.
You are spontaneously projecting, however without much awareness. Try the timer method, may suit you.

How exactly do I do that? I have looked around on the forum but couldn't find it.
