There is a book by D. Scott Rogo you should look into. It has several methods. It is called "Leaving the Body A Complete Guide to Astral Projection". It even has Monroe's old method, with the vibrations. I typed in my copy because I find it easier to read on the computer.

Relax!

If you are new to this, and you are feeling "mild" paralysis, you are most likely not ready for an OBE exit . . . although you ARE getting closer by meditating and working with trance. Keep it up!
In the early stages of remaining aware during the OBE state, paralysis and other exit sensations are not "mild," in fact they can be downright alarming. The trick is in not letting the sensations freak you out.
Keep up with your trance states . . . go as deep as you can, as often as you can, at times when you are well rested. It can be an ongoing struggle staying AWARE during trance. Your awareness is key. When you sleep, your consciousness often leaves your body . . . it's just that you are unconscious and so miss the whole thing! By working on CONSTANT AWARENESS you can be "asleep and awake" at the same time.
As for me, I still struggle with staying aware during induced trance states. Most of the time I drift off in a fog and nothing happens. But then one day, SHAZAM, there I am, awake in my head . . . but I'm leaving my body behind.
Even experienced OBE -ers have spotty success with deliberate OBE attempts. Toss your frustration aside and know you are in good company.
Happy travels! Remember . . . try to stay aware at all times, work on it every day (or at least several times a week) and LET it happen. This is probably the most effective "technique" there is for most beginners. Once you know what it "feels" like, it is easier to engage in other "techniques" to bring on that feeling. But you have to know what it feels like first!
