syd 52 i've looked over your uploaded books.
i like especially the faq because there you could find any answers you want.
the other book has got many techniques but i can't use many of them because they require visualisation and as a blind from birth i find it difficult to imagine visual things.
but it's good because it clarify all the aspects that you need to know.
anyway.. for anyone who hasn't tried and realy wants to experience this. it's not so hard as it seems first.
i am also a beginer in those practices but after only 2 days i managed to get in the vibrations state and to hold on for about 20 seconds..
i was realy realy close to consciously project.
the basic things that you have to know are relaxation and concentration.
when i try i firstly relax my entire body until my body is sleeping. but my mind it's fully awake but relaxed first.
if you manage to get this state of relaxation then you can begin with a technique to get the vibration and hopefully go out.
me personally i concentrate on my heart beats. i try to feel them throughout all of my body. and then the vibrations come.
so you see? it's not so hard.
i will continue to try and i hope that in some days i will get a full conscious astral projection.
thank you for attention and... the most important thing is that you need to throw away the fear. nothing can happen to you.
edit: i'll go to haway if i manage it... i allways wanted to go there...
