How often should I expect success?

[Melchior]

Lately, I've been kind of beating up on myself for not being able to project -- not once. Anyway, as the title of this topic states, my question is: How often should I expect success, or how much practice will it take for me to have regular success?

For me it was like riding a bike, as soon as I achieved my first projection I rarely had any problems getting out again.

That was until I had some health problems that prevented me from inducing trance or relaxing enough to project. 

I haven't really tried again yet, but I imagine that it won't be too tough to get back too it.

I think it entirely depends on the individual. Some it may take a few days, others years, others don't even try and it just happens to them. In my opinion do not expect anything just do it and it will happen when you are ready.

This is an impossible question to answer... in that the answer is in your persistence and determination.

Drop all expectations. They'll get in the way of a real experience.
