How Do You Astral Project Options

Like it says i was wondering how people astral project the reason for this is
i've seen so many people say you need to meditate or visualize but i astral project just by thinking about a person, or place in the astral plane. I apparently have been able to do it that way for 6 years now but i don't really know why

I have an alternate problem to this really, i can't help but slip into an astral state. i have a very dull life and so without Astral travel i think i would go insane, mind you thinking that i can astrally travel would have me classed insane in most peoples opinions anyway. No as i was saying, it may be induced by my anti-social lifestyle or something but i have the opposite problem, i have to focus my mind by resiting numbers in order to keep my focus in our world. Although i find playing with a Yo-Yo helps me keep concentrated whilst i am doing stuff or i am prone to mindless wandering as i am elsewhere.

the first time i did astrally project i did it without any potection around my body all i did was still and try to imagine my self in my mind and then simply to imagine myself leaving my mind into a room i was already very familiar with. If you want to astrally project quickly make sure to know the ins and outs of your room in every detail, this makes the transition from bieng physical to astral very easy.
