tugging, as in, i feel like im sinking, and my body is being pulled, but nothing happens

I don't think there is any way to tell for sure how close you are. Don't give up.

When I was practicing this I'd feel light and feel like I was being pulled up from my body.

I gave up.

Keep practicing. The more you practice the closer you will get.

Astral projection was simply too exhausting for me.

But it doesn't have to be for you.

I think the issue that a lot of people experience is the expectation of a undeniably successful projection. From what I understand, each experience is subjective from person to person. That is to say, no two experiences are exactly alike.

I suggest trustingthat your experience will be successful and take it for what it is versus what you expect it to be.

cool. thanks. :3

Many beginners face difficulties while trying to astral travel.
This is because first not being used to it and second being impatient to get the results.
While trying to get into the astral plane and bein able to control yourself,
You must have incredible focus and patience. That is why many people recommend meditation before astral travel.
When it comes to technique, I don't think it really matters but you should try a lot of techniques and see which works for you.
And of course always perform a protection ritual before astral travel like HBRP or LBRP. They have a lot of benefits. First, they act as a protection before visiting the astral plane. Second, it acts as a meditative practice which again helps in astral travel. Third it sets your mind to perform any magickal practice including astral travel

Hope it helps...
Blessed be
