In astral projection the physical part of the body gets separated from the astral body.

You must feel absolutely relaxed, clothing which is comfortable should be worn and it’s suggested that you recline while doing this.

Look at it as something that you have to fine tune, like roller skating, cartwheels, riding a bike. You never forget how to do these activities, when you haven’t done them in a long time you do have to practice. The same holds true for astral projecting.
Each and every person in the world can astral project. In fact, many of us do so, although we might not know that this is what we’re doing. The ability to consciously astral project and be in control of the experience can be learned with practice.
