Astral projection, tips and tricks Options

Ive been trying to astral project for about 4 months now with no success! I let my body fall asleep but then nothing happens.
I clear my mind with my body asleep... AND NOTHING HAPPENS.
I am getting a bit frustrated but U have perseverence.
Last night I layed in my bed for at least 2 hours trying to AP.
Is there anything Im missing here? Ive tried various methods but the main theme in all of them is mind awake, body asleep putting your body into sleep and leaving your mind awake and open to explore.
Does anyone have some tips and tricks to help me out here?

Thanks,
GP

I copy and pasted this from another thread.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/book.gif) Without changing the subject, I have a technique I call phasing, I use the term phasing because I'm pulling my astral body out of phase with my physical.


About 10 mins before I go to bed I stare at myself in the mirror, making eye contact with myself in the mirror.

After about a minute the mirror goes black and well I know I'm projected astrally. I will try and hold this state as long as I can, maybe 3-5 mins.

After I go to bed and turn out the lights, close my eyes and well I can still see. Yes I said see in the dark with my eyes closed, well I guess the astral is what I'm seeing.
To explain more everything looks black with white outlines around objects. Sort of like the outline you would see if you were looking at someones aura.


But at this point I can get up and walk around my house in the dark and not run in to anything. It took me about 6 months before I had results, and I have problems sleeping sometimes because when I close my eyes I can still see. It's kind of a side affect of my astral vision, but eventually I fall asleep.
Robert Bruce even mentions this in his book as a side affect of astral vision.
