Astral Projection is where you leave your own body and can simply walk around in the free doing anything, you have control over all five senses and in some cases astral powers (hovering, flying that sort of thing)
don't confuse this with a mental projection, in the mental projection, you don't have any of the physical senses but simply feel what you should see.

Method 1
In a quiet place. Sit in a straight backed chair, up against a wall
or on the floor with spine erect. Relax, get comfortable. Inhale &
exhale slowly a couple of times. DO NOT FALL ASLEEP!! Use 2/4 breath
to start, that is; empty your lungs, easily, then inhale to a mental
count of four<use your pulse as a guide>, hold <using the abdominal
muscles,please, not the throat> mental count of two, expel in a four
count, pause for a two count, then inhale to a four count etc, etc.
Picture an image in the mind's eye of a yourself in a ball of light
about 3-5 feet away from you. Continue, slowly, rhythmically while
focusing your attention on the image in the mind's eye see it
clearly then shift your consciousness or point of awareness
..awareness of self, selfhood; the observing I etc. to the ball of
light. Including the senses first touch, move your Astral feet &
arms, then hearing, then smell, then taste & last of all when you
have your other senses plugged in open your eyes and look around.
Each sense further focuses you point of awareness in the Astral
body.
Astral sight doesn't depend on the physical eyes. The reason it is
listed last on the list is practical. Sometimes for novices the act
of opening the eyes in the Astral body triggers a reflex of opening
the eyes in the physical body, without the other senses to anchor it
the consciousness shifts back to the physical body and you lose the
AP. Don't worry about your Astral sight at the very start work first on
being sure of shifting the consciousness. That is the first step to
success. The rest of the senses MUST follow. If you have to break it
down even further work on hearing, smell, touch or Small Astral body
movements one at a time first. Then work on sight.

Method 3
Imagine that your Astral body is separating from your physical body
out the head chakra. You will sense a rapid vibration with a rising
or floating sensation let it happen don't block it. When complete
check your five senses in the described order.
Using the Astral body requires only that you mentally shift gears
into it, no matter what method you use. Astral projection takes
patients, practice & persistence. Several things govern how
quickly you can gain mastery;
- noises & distractions
- how relaxed you are
- breathing technique
- how well focused you are
- achieving the mental imagery necessary
- transfer of consciousness
- practice

**there are many other methods of AP (Astral Projection) and if anyone wants I will be glad to post more.
"Astral Projection" is not one experience but a complicated amalgam of many types and levels of experience. AP experiences can be very sharp and clear, foggy and dreamlike, intense, mild, convincing, and confusing all at once.
Two of the most common reasons for not achieving a clear AP are foggy imagery & problems with shifting Consciousness to the Astral body. First the image in the ball of light must be clear & fixed. You must have a clear mental image of the Astral body to begin with. Second, the Consciousness must be fully shifted or transferred from the physical to the Astral body!! It shouldn't be shuttling between the two. It's a very common problem. But you can't drive two cars at the same time! This may show up as poor Astral vision or partial or full loss of Astral senses. Sort of like poor TV reception with static & snow. Probably because of uneasiness about the unknown. Relax!! Your physical body will be just fine, really! Remember you can't swim hanging on to the side of the pool!!!! Let go!!! Trust me ;D
The "trick" of astral projection lies in the TRANSFER OF YOUR POINT OF
AWARENESS...awareness, selfhood; "the observing I", it is "like" a
vortex, an 'atom' of consciousness, which "rides" the physical body. It
is not the Ego, not the "higher self"; it is more like a natural force,
or quality, in the way that "weight" is a quality of gravity.
One of the keys is focus & intensity. You should become oblivious to everything except transferring your point of awareness, complete & undivided attention, focus or consciousness. Use your other senses as a check list, in the order described. Anxiety or fear of the unknown often causes problems...like swimming or riding a bike, RELAX. You won't fall or drown! If you tense up it won't happen. This is a natural, easy process. Don't push or force, focus & guide.
