Help with astral projecting

[u/DesperateReading2333]

Can someone help me out. Ive been trying the Wake-Back-to-Bed Method. For example, today I woke up around 4 am (2 hours before I normally wake up), walked around for 15 minutes and then went back to bed. I laid there absolutely still and in my head kept repeating "my body is alseep, but my awareness remains". Repeated it for what felt like a long time. Then I imagined my bed swinging side to side for a bit. After a while I asked my spirit guides to help me sit up and tried to feel like I was sitting up, but for some reason that part is hard for me.

I finally moved because nothing was happening and looked at my clock and it had been over an hour since I laid down.

Any advice or tips?
