Believe it or not, there's actually more than one way to perform astral projection. The most commonly utilized method is that of entering a trance-like state (walking the fine line between slumber and unconsciousness) and separating the soul from the body.
In order to explain these other astral projection methods, you will need to know of another type of projection known as mental projection. This is sort of the groundwork for spiritual projection, and it involves entering a state of mind that's not quite as strong as a trance, but not quite as delicate as a daydream somewhere between the two. Mental projection is also pretty easy to achieve - simply put your concentration on something else and "zone out". Your mind will sort of go off and do its own thing unless you give it some sort of direction.
I told you about mental projection in order to further discuss the other forms of astral projection. If done properly, you may begin mental projection and simply imagine your soul leaving your body, and your astral self might begin to follow suit. If you have ever felt the odd sensation of walking around just because your body was doing what it knows how to do, but mentally you felt like you were just somewhere else odds are, your mind was projecting or trying to project. This can happen involuntarily, as it's quite easy to "zone out" and kind of lose yourself in a powerful daydream.
However, in order to imagine your astral body leaving your earthly one, you have to be able to have an exceptionally clear picture in your mind of what your astral self looks like. You cannot substitute in a mental image of an amorphous spiritual blob in place of your astral self because that is a body unfamiliar to you and your soul, so said soul will have no desire to follow that example. The combined mental/astral projection method is something that would most likely be reserved for individuals who have had success with the more common means of projection. Such individuals will already have an idea of what their astral body looks like.
There are countless variations on astral projection methods, to the point where it is difficult to pinpoint them all. Two people can follow the exact same steps and have completely different experiences. Some individuals have a very clear and pleasant experience, while others may have a vague and objectionable experience. This is usually due to the amount of consciousness that is transmitted to the astral body from the physical body; if your perception is halfway into your astral self and halfway into your corporeal self, projection cannot work. It's very easy to allow your thoughts to stray during the initial stages of projection and it can throw off your meditation.
