There really is no way to describe what method to use for the best astral projection results"best" can be interpreted in more than one way, depending on whom is being asked. By "best", are you looking for the easiest technique? Or a method that is the most effective?
The truth is there is no best process for everyone because everyone has a different level of psychic sensitivity and everyone learns and develops their skills in their own distinctive ways. So, what may be the best for you might not be the best for someone else; basically, in this case, what is good for the goose is not always good for the gander. The key is not to search for a single best routine of projection, but to experiment with all methods and, from there, determine which technique works best for you.
If you are just starting to attempt astral projection, the best choices for projection methods would probably be the easiest ones. By 'easy', I mean the ones that require the smallest amount of mental and psychic effort, just so you may get your [astral] feet metaphorically wet. Visualization uses up a significant amount of mental energy, and since most techniques require the burgeoning traveler to imagine doing things, you need to choose your method carefully so you do not wear yourself out before getting the chance to do anything significant.
Personally, I feel one of the most effective techniques involves meditation and breathing exercises. By choosing to have your breathing serve as a focus point in the meditation, you may actually hypnotize yourself into the state between sleep and consciousness (the hypnagogic state) and it is in this state projection often occurs. This method requires no visualization (but you can use it if you choose), and the relaxation is the main part of the projection itself, as opposed to just a preliminary exercise.
From what I have researched, methods that involve visualization tend to be a bit easier than some methods that do not rely on one's imagination. But if you have trouble imagining things in your mind, there are means of astral travel that do not involve using the 'mind's eye'. Lucid dreaming is a way of achieving astral projection sans visualization, and if you tell your mind vehemently enough that you are going to have a lucid dream and experience projection before going to sleep, you may be able to will your astral soul out of your body. It may seem like minimal progress, but if you see results, even the tiniest bit of development is extraordinary.
Other methods may take a bit of a toll on the physical body in ways that would distract novice or intermediate travelers, such as techniques that require another person to scare your astral self out of your earthly body, or forcing your consciousness to believe it is in the wrong body and to go find its real one. I highly recommend not trying any method of projection involving strain on the corporeal being unless you are a very experienced astral traveler.
As stated previously, there is no one method that is a perfect choice for everyone. You must experiment with various methods before you find one that suits you and your astral self, and what has been discussed in this article were simply suggestions. - 30309
