What am I doing wrong?

[Skyes]

Hello everyone. I have been practicing Astral Projection for 6 months now, but still can't leave my body. I see I am getting closer, tho.
I lay down on the bed, and close my eyes. Then I let my thoughts calm down, and begin to clear my mind (sometimes using mantras). Then I lose the feeling of my limbs, specially my arms. I begin to feel soft vibrations all over my body, as if it was trembling or shaking. After that, my body gets really heavy, as if I can't move it, and I feel it expanding and contracting as I breath. I sometimes feel as if my body was weightless, floating above my bed. Golden images and runes begin to appear in my mind, and sometimes I hear sounds as well. But that is it. That is as far as I can go. Nothing else happens, and it has been like this for months. I read on the internet that after the Vibrational State, you just have to leave your body. It sounds so easy, but I dont know how to do it. I have tried many exit method, such as the rope or rolling around the bed, but I cant move my spiritual body. Another day I tried so hard to move that I ended up moving my Phisical body and everything stopped. Today I tried to meditate with my eyes open to see if I cold get a better result. So I focused on a spot at the wall, and then everything began to get blurred and shinny. I felt my body sleeping, and everything at my room seemed to gain an "aura" of different colors, but I still couldn't exit my body or move my spiritual body, even after 30 minutes at that state.
So, finally, what am I doing wrong? Could anyone give me a clue on what I could do to finally realize what I am missing? Thanks in advance

Edit: I forgot to mention that I am practicing 2, sometimes 3 times per day. As soon as I wake up, around 3 or 4 PM, and before sleeping. Could this influence in a good, or bad way?

 Try setting the stage, just as you have and just relax back and let what's going to happen happen.

Every time you attempt to AP, you get a little closer. So, never take that as failure.

One day you will be doing exactly what you are now and all of a sudden you will find yourself there. You can't rush the process, But with practice, patience and perseverance, you can improve on it though!

Thank you very much, friend, your words are very inspiring. It is good to see such a noble soul around here

One other idea that might make sense to you is this: The decision to learn how to AP is much more than a simple decision- Do I? or don't I? It is also a decision to advance your personal and spiritual evolution. This is no small thing. So maybe during the last several months you have been having an internal discussion and negotiation going on at a subliminal level, asking and seeking permission and agreement from your many 'selves'. Your conscious, subconscious, and higher self.

There can also be some underlying fear issues or cultural taboos that are having more effect than you realize.

To help with this, try writing out and repeating nightly some positive affirmations to encourage this inner dialogue.

"I give myself permission to have an out of body experience."
"I am confident and safe, knowing that I am protected."
"I ask permission of my higher self to Astral Project."

Just some ideas.

Thank you friend, I will do that. I have been studying and researching about astral projection for 4 years now, but only lately I decided to try it on practice

You need to force if with power, that's all. The only thing you need is power, and a method like - rope, or train, or free fall - whatever.

This is contrary to everything. It appears your level of experience is low.
Please prefix your future comments with In My Opinion, the reasoning behind your beliefs can be addressed as they are misleading and confusing at present

Szaxx, 458id is obviously a troll, he's just here to wear people down, all his posts are negatives.
