i need help with AP

beginning

yesterday I tried astral projection for the first time, I used this YouTube short as a guide: https://youtube.com/shorts/vx4VMCga9os?feature=share
i tired for an hour and Nada, I felt the intense vibrations and at one point I felt like I was floating, I stayed calm as I was expecting this and stayed in that state for a time with no changes then I gave up and opened my eyes.

things I’ve noticed

I also noticed that my left arm gets kinda numb and I can only feel the intense vibration feeling from my head to my chest area. like the forementioned I feel like I’m floating. and the last thing I’ve noticed is after I opened my eyes and move around, this was at 7:50 PM, I feel like I’m still vibrating, even at the time of me writing this, 5:30AM, I still feel like I’m vibrating, not painful or anything actually feels pretty good, kind of giddy. are any of this normal for a first time attempt to project.

what I think is the problem

I'd say the visualizing my energy coming out my body is my problem I try to image myself but a transparent grey or blue form of me coming out of my body but I don’t think that work. and the other thing is I may be trying to hard to force myself out my body.
does anyone have any tips I can try to increase my chances.
Thanks in advance

It sounds like you had a very successful first attempt at astral projection! It is very normal to feel numbness in your arm and feeling vibrations throughout your body. It is also normal to feel a sense of floating, as well as feeling the vibrations even after opening your eyes. The fact that you stayed in the state for a while is a great sign that you were on the right track. Visualizing your energy coming out of your body is an important part of astral projection. To increase your chances of success, try to imagine your energy leaving your body in a more vivid way.
