The easiest way for me was telling myself at night when I layed down to relax in bed “I am going to astral project tonight” and than just keeping as relaxed as I could while I drifted off into sleep with only that in my mind as a constant in my mind (even with my other racing thoughts I couldn’t shut out, that being my main thought worked). I could never ignore the tingles and all that so I tried it as covincing myself I would as I went to bed and it just happened through my intent I suppose. No overworking myself or crazy practice necessary. It was a few weeks before I actually experienced an astral travel but when I became aware one of my “dreams” was actually an astral experience my excitement caused me to wake from it lol! It happened a few times I was aware of and every time I became too aware or excited I’d wake from it. One night I had an OBE through this and seen myself laying on my bed from above, like I had woke and could see both from my physical and spiritual body at the same time this night, like I was bouncing between both, felt like I couldn’t breathe, and it scared me slightly which caused me to crash right back in completely
’) and I haven’t been able to do it besides once more after that. The second time I was excited and boom awake.
So I totally get the frustration, but holding onto that frustration also hinders progress I think because I was unable to do it more after that until I let go of the frustration and let it happen naturally as it came by how I was initially doing it. Patience is a big thing with most things people have to learn xD If you learn to be happy and appreciate the short experiences despite the initial frustration of waking up, it will last longer when you’re not expecting it. But I can say even the longer trips, you’ll still feel that sense of frustration when you wake up. Who wants to wake from something so fun? Lmao
But yeah, I fully believe just accepting what you do experience, being patient, and letting it happen as naturally as you can for yourself helps to gain more and more experience that will grow to new heights.
I would also love if someone could just pull me out of my body at will and teach me how to do it in a way that would work for me without years of practice LOL but deff happy for what I can experience when I do experience it still until I am able to master it at the level I hope for.
