Didn't you post this somewhere else? I thought I remembered talking about this. Anyway, for one thing, there aren't any experts here. There isn't anyone that I know of who has an OBE on every attempt. I don't know about Robert, I don't remember if he's said he can or not, but he would definitely be qualified as an expert. People post their successes because their non-successes aren't as interesting. So, you get a kind of skewed version of the whole truth. I apologize if there is anyone who gets out 100% of the time. You just haven't announced yourself.

Sounds to me like you are doing everything right, if there is an actual "right" way. Which, I don't believe there is. Whatever works is fine. And, I believe I remember reading somewhere that Robert said that many times, people have OBE'd, but don't realize it. It's not exactly what they were expecting.

So, this is just my opinion, so don't take it for fact, please. When you feel your astral body, and also are aware of your physical body, that is called bi-location. Your consciousness can be in 2 places at once. Actually, it can be in a lot more than that, but we won't go there for now. If you "feel" like you are floating up, you very well could be. Or, it could be the phase right before that when your energy body is loosened. I can't say for sure, since I can't feel what you're feeling.

The long and short of it is that you are making good progress. Your only problem is becoming discouraged. Keep it up, things are progressing, and before you know it, you'll be giving others advice. Just like the rest of us who can't do it every time.
