Lately I have been attempting to astral project. The problem is, is that every time I try I only get to a certain point, and then I have to stop. I'm wondering if I'm even doing it right. This is what happens.

I lay on my bed in complete silence with the lights off. I then close my eyes and relax all of my muscles and sort of slowly stop my mind. A loud ringing in my ears starts coming up and my body starts to tingle all over and it feels really weird. Im not sure what to do after this and then I quickly go back to normal.

Can someone perhaps guide me in the right direction? I would really like to accomplish this feat.

I started with my arms. I'd will them outta my body. Kinda like trying to lift my arms without using the muscles (Hard to explain).
It would give me a certain sensation, or consious feeling.
Then I eventually managed to get my arms out one morning when I was at a sleep over. I was awake waiting for everyone else to wake up. After a while my body fell back asleep but my mind was still awake, then I willed my arms out again and they just came out.
They kind looked like this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2UudV0MJ3l4&feature=related


It was so fascinating and I've got my arms out several times since. Haven't got further than that tho.

Basically like beany said, I get in complete relaxtion, let my mind go blank, before I AP I come up with a goal, a specific plan of what I'm going to do/accomplish in the Astral Plane first.
Then I move my astral hands out of my body, basically, imagine your astral body, and picking your hands out of it. You will feel them moving out of your body, then I go for the whole arms, then the head/neck. Then I move out my chest. Then my stomach, then my pelvis area, then my legs/feet, get up, and float awayyyyy. Well, not really, before I go anywhere I ask for help or a guide from a light-based being who cares about giving, and helping. That's what I do good sir. I plan on APing tonight, but we have guest staying the night so I can't be sure if our schedules/noise levels will conflict. -.-
Anyways, just keep trying, and if one way doesn't work, try another, google some different ways on how to Astral project. Make up a method on your own, but nonetheless good luck HTTP.

Try imagining your pulling on a rope. Do not imagine the rope, but imagine you are pulling on it in the dark. Use it over your most active chakra possibly. If you get scared by a fast heart rate, look up the heart chakra.

The fact you feel those sensations means you're close. Ask for a positive entity or your spirit guide.
