does great visualization help to astral project?
what about tactile imagination?

First, I have not had a successful astral projection that I consciously tried to do. I have had spontaneous projections and they involved my visual, tactile and auditory senses. I don't recall being able to smell and didn't try to taste anything though I suspect those senses could have been used. The times I have done mental projection I have put in both auditory and tactile stimulation by imagining what things would feel like and sound like. On the psychology level of things one of the techniques I have used to get myself and others into a deeper altered state is to have them imagine not just the visual aspect but all other senses when they are trying to deal with a particular issue such as a recurring dream. I also do this when attempting path work with the tarot.
On that subject dose anyone have any suggestions for getting deeper and true projection? I can't seem to get totally out of my body as much so as on the spontaneous projections I have.
