Alright, I have tried everything, but I still can't seem to make it out of my body consciously. So I've decided to post exactly what I've been doing so far, and obviously there has to be something I'm doing wrong, so I'll just say what I've been doing so far.

As Tempest said before, no one is an expert here-however I'll give you my .02.

I start by getting in a relaxed position (normally I do this on my back). I breathe steadily and deeply with my eyes closed imagining myself going down on an elevator on my exhales. After a while I recognize the feelings of being in a trance-state (eg. heaviness, and feeling my whole body feel a bit numb) and after a while of being in a trance state I start to feel vibrations in my legs and/or in my chest and eventually both. Then I start to feel like...it's weird its like I feel like I am out of my body and in it at the same exact time. Like I can feel the presence of my astral body, but I can still partially feel my physical body. Just a little bit, but my astral body is still in my phsycial body. So far so good. You are prob. bilocating-in place.
Then I start to feel like I'm floating upward toward this weird blob thats like a blue light, and so I try to imagine that I'm pulling myself out with the rope, but for some reason I can't feel my visual hands pulling myself up with the rope. Ok, this is where I would do something different. IMO rope is for when you're feeling vibrations but are going nowhere. The rope is to get you 'up', but you're already going up. By diverting your focus into awareness hands and the rope tech, IMO you are losing the 'window' to get out. If you feel yourself coming up, then follow the feeling- imagine the blue blob is sucking you up, and go with it. Like catching a wave, like falling. You've already got the momentum, don't divert it to something else.

Why is this? After my failed attempt I feel like the activities in my body slow down and stop and then I come out of it. If you 'run out of steam' do some energy raising and deep breaths, and you might just get exit sensations back.
This happened to me this morning, and I fell asleep shortly after. I woke up an hour or so later and randomly the vibrations started again, and this time I felt a little bit closer to having a full exit, but then it just stopped again. What's going on? Why can I never seem to make a conscious exit? Like I said before, your consciousness determines where you go. If you are already going up and decide to do something else that would make you go down, you are redirecting yourself back to your body. There are various exit techniques that work for different exit symptoms. Try to use different types, and remember to go with the flow.
All of you folks here seem really advanced and stuff, and talk about astral projection as if it's second nature, and I'm sure to most of you it is. No, it's just that some of us have more experience. And frankly, you sound like a natural projector who is having 'technical difficulties'. In other words, once you relax and go with what feels right, you'll be out in no time.
You're welcome.
