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

Before I start I have a idea or 'will' where or what I want to accomplish in the astral.
Then I usually relax, close my eyes, still my mind, visualizes my goal and go. 5 to 10 min preparation.

I did it in 1 second by accident when I first raised my kundalini. I guess I had a power overflow.

And I did it once by force because it was necessary to get somewhere in the astral fast. Same way as above only no time to take the 5 min, but kick assed myself out there. That was kinda painful.

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.

There are many methods of projection . The method you speak of I feel is linking , remote viewing , bi location of consciousness and mystic projection not astral projection per se . Every stone provides another method of projection ie ;

....................... rear of spine ...............front of spine

.............................................................heavens --mental body
univeral mind light watcher..universe
..............................................................moon -head mystic projections and guardian angel
.........................mother self Ama
..............................................................sun -chest project out as higher self
.........................lower self ...star
..............................................................earth -abdomen vibe out as astral double to RTZ , Etheric or Astral & guardian demon
.........................father self ..Abba

There are also numerous side stones which have amongst others the ability to project the dark watcher , fire , earth , water and air selves .

Here are some methods of projection through the stones which I use ;

The only real way I could ever manage to astral project is in a state of "mentally rested exhaustion" akin to what is considered to be a Lucid Dream Issue: "wake-back-to-sleep method."

Apparently, during random nights, I will wake up at around 2:30 AM (EST, I live in that zone), and then go back to sleep anywhere from 3:00 to 4:45 AM. At this time, I relapse into sleep in a mentally exhausted state, and thus sleep more restfully. During this stage of my sleep, I then feel my body have a strange displacement feeling, while my mind has an ambivalent, transient mood of "Whatever. I'm so tired. I'm too tired to think. Goodnight." But, because I had awoken, and my sleep cycle readjusted, a certain alertness on another level was retained. This readjustment then caused the displacement, and I slowly "seeped" into a realm intermediary between the astral and the mundane. At that point, I used a prompt I learned in Journeys Outside the Body...

"I will now astral project!"

A galvanization occured. But it wasn't sufficient.

"Focus now!"

I attained a greater level of astral integrity, but it wasn't enough.

"Clarity now!"

....at that point there is a blank in my memory. I don't think I left fast enough for the brain exhaustion not to affect me.

yoga for 45 min to an hour

sit down to meditate, relax everything and instead astral project.

Other then there are times I know I need to keep on doing yoga and it becomes a giant 5 hour yoga session because I can not get balanced, this always works for me, I am just looking for faster methods.
