This has been an interesting topic to read, not to mention most enlightening!
I had my first OBE a week or so ago (I made a topic about it in fact where I was debating whether it was, in fact an OBE - but with my second I've been able to draw corresponding evidence and reach a positive conclusion!) and my second one only a night ago.
My first OBE occurred after a very long time that night of attempting to project consciously. I had decided to give up and go to sleep instead, only to get the feelings while trying to fall asleep of projecting (feeling heavy, vertigo, feeling as though the world is spiralling, etc). I then found myself seeing through my eyelids! Movement was very sluggish, and I found it very difficult even to get out of bed. As time wore on things began to get a bit surreal as sleep tried to take hold, but luckily I awoke remembering the entire experience.
I found myself unable to replicate this experience for a few days, and so decided to take a new approach. I made a sigil which would enable me to succeed in conscious projection and immediately gave up all attempts, instead focusing on dream recall and recording (as at that point I had been pretty lax with regards to my dream diary, I'm ashamed to say). I found it difficult to 'forget' the sigil, which from my reading was immensely important. However after a while it paid off!
My next OBE was much more interesting than the first. Might I say that the astral realm is so much more interesting during the day!
Unfortunately because I didn't immediately record the experience I found myself forgetting parts (cue me banging head against desk - I shan't be making that mistake again). I remember being in my room and leaving out into the street. To test to see whether I had actually projected I tried jumping, only to fly up into the sky! Needless to say I was quite pleased, but this was soon replaced by surprise as I kept going up and then the feeling of falling as I crashed back to land. From them on I vaguely remember travelling across a field.
It's such a fantastic feeling when magickal work pays off. I would say to those trying hard with little success: keep going! As I recall Kraig saying in his book; results must follow.

I've been trying to project for the longest time. According to this new book I'm reading, people don't HAVE souls so much as they ARE souls (in essence, people are eternal souls that are temporarily sealed within fleshy bodies). With this teaching in mind, I decided to project. I lied down on my bed, went into trance, and repeated to myself the mantra, "I'm glad I'm now a soul". I visualized my legs dissolving away. As I moved up towards my head, my torso, chest, arms split open like sides of meat, revealing muscle and bone. The top of my head melted away, revealing a hollow shell (no comments from the peanut gallery! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/badmood.gif) ) It was then that I saw the bare outline of my soul floating up and out of the top of my head. I went back-and-forth through time and space. I saw a lighthouse, a 17th-18th century square-rigged sailing ship, and a nuclear submarine traveling on the surface of the ocean. I visited alien worlds. I saw strange-looking underwater vessels and a creature wearing some sort of bizarre diving gear. After seeing images of planets, I decided to come back to earth and back into my body.

My first out-of-body experience occurred involuntarily during an automobile wreck. I was in the back seat when a DUI driver ran a red light and destroyed the car, and didn't realize what was going on until after the fact. It was very sudden, leaving me with a broken nose and several other head injuries. During the impact, for a duration of about three seconds, I was viewing the entire scene from about fifteen feet away as though I were a bystander. I couldn't remember where I lived or where my parents worked, but I vividly remembered placidly watching the accident from outside the vehicle.
I had long been fascinated with the subject and had attempted many different approaches. Some seemed to be just on the edge of working... but didn't. I met older people who had been working with some of these methods, and reported their results in a very matter-of-fact way, so I assumed there was more than fantasy involved in the subject. I was to remain disappointed until my wife introduced me to her technique, which is that given by Aleister Crowley in his "Liber NU."
The technique is relatively simple, requiring five minutes of instruction and about an hour of consistent effort. The process begins with locating the inner voice, expanding it to fill the head, the body, the room, and finally the whole of comprehensible space. Unlike other methods which aim to provoke the etheric form to emerge, this technique is simply an attempt to expand consciousness. The complementary effect, that of "Liber HAD," is to reduce the apparent expansion by degrees into another location.
Special precaution was taken to avoid going to sleep - an upright posture and locked thumbs - but it felt like going to sleep suddenly while simultaneously standing up. I moved forward about five feet, with very unsteady "legs." Moving away from my body was like pulling taffy, where it was hard at first but very quickly became easy and then almost effortless. After about thirty seconds, I realized that I was out-of-body, and fell involuntarily backwards as though into a pool. Though my perceived location was across the room, I "awoke" in my normal perspective in my body. I was very excited.
I've never believed that the astral or etheric body is identical to the soul or spirit. Rather I feel that it is a physical component of life that we are presently unable to examine by ordinary means. Maybe it carries our consciousness within the body and can be made to leave on errands, maybe not, but I am at least confident that the experience is natural and not necessarily significant to spirituality. The experience proved to me that the experience is real and can be obtained by work or by accident, but it did not prove anything to me about the soul or spirit, the influence of which I believe transcends the experience of even remote physical sensations.
