I haven't tried / journaled on meditation / astral projection because of school / stress. I was reading an ebook / stayed up till 4am writing down notes to memorize what this book was saying.

In this book the author says there's three steps to a successful obe / ap.

1. Deep physical relaxation to the point of not feeling your body, or to the point of feeling of not having a physical body.

2. Silencing the mind.

3. Projection exit.

I used binural beats and it only lasted 20 minutes.

I used a visualization technique I created. Since the progressive relaxation technique and the deep breathing technique in the book didn't work / was too confusing.

I took what I thought was a short time to get my whole body relaxed. After this I kept relaxing my whole body over and over again. I know that deep physical relaxation is the most important thing. Once I relaxed my physical body. I mentally felt like I was in another part of my room. The only two things I could feel were inside my head and my hands. My body felt like a statue. This was what I felt like was step 1.

Once what I felt like was step 2 I knew I couldn't focus / empty my mind. So I focused on a mantra I read somewhere online. I mentally chanted to myself "mind awake body asleep". What felt like a while passed by. Then I was onto step 3.

I tried a technique I read in a book called "66 astral projection techniques". I used a technique that tells the user to pretend to already be out of the body in the astral body. I tried visualizing being out of the body. I imagined being in / near my bed, while focusing / looking at my body. I didn't have mental control of this and ended up seeing my astral body from my chair and visa versa. A little while later I end up getting vibrations in my neck and my head and neck area ends up shaking like crazy. Later I ended up opening my eyes for a second or two and none of these areas were physically moving. After this the same areas were shaking and my chest area was shaking. I thought I was going to exit but decided to stop once the shaking either stopped or lessened.

What can I do to get a near successful exit?

Also I was inner dialoguing the whole time.

What can I do to stop this?
