Hi, I'm a complete noob at the whole Astral Travel thing, I've tried about 5-6 times so far with no success but I really want to do it. The farthest I got were vibrations (only twice), heart pounding, eyelids twitching (I hear that's bcoz of rem sleep?) and a few other symptoms as feeling really heavy etc. The thing is, no matter how deep I relax or how clear my head is (I admit, I can't always keep a clear mind, constantly) I can't reach sleep paralysis. How important is this step? If it's very important, how can I reach it? I read people's posts on the internet saying they go into sleep paralysis very easy, it's so frustrating, help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, optional question, what to listen to while trying to Astral Project? (binaural beats, guided meditation, relaxing music etc?)
About sleep paralysis?
I can't get to it either, I really don't know why I guess my body is just not convinced my mind has fallen asleep yet. Maybe try sleep breathing, I haven't tried yet but I also don't know how I breathe in my sleep lol.

Astral projection takes time to master - for some a short while, for others a long time (ranging from days or months, to in some cases even years). It all depends on the person.
There is an excellent half hour free binaural recording here:

You must listen to it with headphones, otherwise the background beats will not received correctly by the two halves of the brain. These beats help the mind to settle into the necessary lower brainwave frequencies: alpha and theta and delta.
Hope this will help you.
