I keep trying to Astral Project, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help.

I wish i could help...I have only done it once that I am aware of...it still freaks me out and this happened 3 years ago. I had been asleep, my cousin and I were taking shifts caring for my father who was dying. I don't know how long I had been asleep but I woke up and sat on the side of my bed. I rubbed my eyes and attempted to stand up..like I literally put both hands onthe bed to push myself up. All of a sudden I am in outer space looking at planet earth. My 1st thought was one of confusion, immediately followed by the thought that I am really seeing earth and i am in space, followed by fear because I shouldn't be able to breathe. But immediately i realized that i am looking at earth from space and i am not suffocating. so i really look at the planet...it was the bluest blue my eyes had ever seen and the atmoshpere sparkled. I realized that the term "fabric of space" was truly correct because i felt like i was floating in velvet. i remember thinking "home" when i was looking at earth and all of a sudden i was filled with so much love, then the planet pulsed slightly and i felt a wave of heart wrenching sadness and i remember thinking in these exact words..."she really is a living planet, and she is so sad". I felt so connected to this planet and everything on it in such a profound way. next thing you know I am back i n the middle of pushing myself off of the bed. it seemed like i was looking at earth for a long time but in reality it all of this had taken place in the time it had taken me to push myself off of my bed. I have been trying to do that again every since wwith no luck. I don't know if me being emotionally exhausted and hurt over my dads impending death had anything to do with my travel that night, but i believe it did. My best friend had the same experience while caring for her mother who had a sudden onset of dementia. She was walking down a flight of stairs when she traveled to space and was looking at a nebula up close! all I know is I want to do it again.

It's strange that you mention that you were thinking of the impending death of a loved one. I came close many years ago and it was when I was thinking of a dead sibling and I found myself thinking of her. It was then that I felt a strange hum and vibration in my body, I ignored it and then I felt myself separating and rising up, I freaked out and snapped back to my body. I had forgotten about it for a great many years as I did not understand it. Once I found out what it was I've been attempting to try and finish it.

scary, i been astral project many times accidently and unconsciously and I remember everything that happened, I saw earth and it looked like map of the earth or looked like olden day theater pictures of earth like world war 2 but with colour

I also was afraid idk what I was doing and thought I was suffocating and tried to get space suits and then some nasa people told me to stop and asked me who I was. and what I was doing there on the moon in their base
