i used to hear voices all the time as a child and alwaysthink i was seeing something but my mom ALWAYS said it was my imagination...now it freaks me out to now end sometimes... (depending on my mood too) But I can't do remote viewing or anything. once i layed still for 50 minutes...and still got no where....as well with AP too...
If you are getting nowhere with just trying, then you have to consider that you may not be engaging your intention properly, it's automatically harder if there is no pressing reason at that time for it. After you've had the initial experience, which helps with overcoming certain psyche barriers, the next phase is all about learning to master intention and self awareness and ego. This phase will last as long as it will take, and anyone no matter what their experience level, can find themselves thrown back to this phase if they lose control of those conditions. (Just my opinion)
Put it this way, for me when I get random or spontaneous projections it's usually when my higher self has something for me to know - it usually occurs when i am sleeping too and has nothing to do with whether i have tried to induce a projection before hand or even meditated that day. So i have the faith that if something important needs to come through, that it can and will because my consciousness already accepts that it can. Failing that, if it can't come through in the sleep level it will during my meditation session. That is why meditating regularly is good practice for when you have that time to listen and receive from your higher consciousness.
Here's an idea for all those who are in the mood to practise AP, but can't think of a worthwhile intention or reason for it at the time State as your intention to your higherself, that you wish to train with astral projection right now - state the time allowance you have eg, 30 mins earth time. IF you then feel yourself getting sleepy, (yes this can be a cue, when my eyes get heavy i know that it is time to nap and spend time out of this dimension) then go with it and have a lay down.
Allow yourself to go to sleep with the intention that they (your higherself) can give you a training session. When you wake up, immediately record anything you get. If you can't remember anything, then focus on what it felt like... It's so important to work on the self awareness aspect, and that includes dream recall on not just visions or memories, but feelings, emotions, and constantly asking how did the energy feel ? The reason for this is because it all goes towards activating and expanding your "inner dictionary" which is directly connected to your intuition which is connected to your higher senses and comprehension.
If one can not properly comprehend what they are experiencing, then the perceptions are not clear enough for interpretation of the truth. The filters in your consciousness may just erase or dump the importance of what was perceived altogether or interpret falsely with whatever ego belief systems/programs you have running in the background.
