Hello everyone, let me start off with a DISCLAIMER: this technique may not be suitable for everyone. We all know AP is highly individualized, so take what aligns with your experiences and ignore the rest.

Lately, I've had trouble with unsuccessful AP attempts due to only half my astral body exiting my real-time body. This is a technique that often works for me, so I hope this works for some of you out there, too. Personally, I believe in chakras/energy centers/Kundalini, so I will describe my body's energy in these terms.

1. Pay attention to what part of your body does not want to exit.

For example; if your head, neck, and chest exit properly yet you get stuck at your stomach; that is your solar plexus. If you can sit up all the way but not stand, that would be your root chakra. If you cannot exit at all and feel dizzy from vibrations, that is either your crown or third eye.

1. Meditate and perform energy work on that part of your body.

If you are awake and in your daily life, I recommend meditation with a focus on the chakras that may be blocked/imbalanced. I am clairaudient, so I prefer to work with singing bowls and focusing my energy to that chakra.

If you are in the middle of an OBE, I would recommend visualization. Personally, I visualize my chakra's energy and move it in a clockwise direction to help balance it and keep energy flowing. This doesn't work every time, so I'd say your best bet is to meditate in your physical body.

Once again, this method will not work for everyone due to the very nature of AP. Thank you for reading. Good luck and happy travels!
