Hey everyone! Tis my first post

I love how people here are more helpful than cynical compared to other boards.
Any tips on going astral?
Boring back-story:
Back when I was a child of about 5 to 9 years of age, I was very apt at Astral Projecting (AP) or having Out of Body Experiences (Obes). lol please don't flame me if my vocabulary is wrong </=^D
Well anyways, I used to just "pop out" because I always wanted to play. I loved just "ghosting" around, exploring, and having philosophical discussions with people whom I never perceived were dead at the time. (My language skills have always been well above my peers, so don't be surprised that a 5 yr. old had "philosophical discussions")
Now that I am in my mid-teens, my astral projections have become more or less infrequent. Although my empathy and clairaudience seem to be waxing rather than waning (but thats for a different post).
To rephrase my original question: Erin, or anyone here, have you any tips on "popping out" deliberately? Because I feel that I can't seem to do it naturally anymore =(
