do your AYP practice and push a little bit the part of SBP and of YMK. After the session, lay down in corpse position in your bed. Cover the body and let it be comfortable. Stop moving physically and relax into the body for an indefinite timing (till it happens).
If a good degree of witnessing is already present and mother kundalini is a bit more active, after about 20-60 minutes not doing anything you can switch over to astral consiousness. It happened for me many hundred times and gave some good insights.
But you will find out very fast, that the astral sphere is highly appealing and attracting and in fact just another sphere. Much more responsive to your wishes, much more fluid, much more time/space games. If you can resist and stay in your bed even though you are astrally consious, it can deepen to more refined spheres till you land in pure bliss being.
With a male body, my penis is always errect when the switch happens and the energy flows from there up the spine and back and does his own game. Sometimes if the sexual energy gets too high I have to do a very strong mula bandha to not ejaculate which happend a lot in the early happenings (without a single physical movement)some years ago. Don't know how this is for a female body.
I'm not sure, but it feels like the body is not breathing while this happens. It is reproducable and the formula is always like that:
Good amount of witness + a lot of kunda action + laying down doing nothing, like going to sleep, complete let go.
Downsides, it eats a lot of time and brings a lot of instability. And you are most probably here to live with a physical dominant reality. Do your research, but not in trade off with stable twice daily practice. One can see how IAM works fore example and why SBP is one of the best pranayams. So yeah, one can do AYP practice while being in the astral body too. But it is not very easy because of the immense responsiveness.
The physiology of this, is very close to what you say.
In fact, the entire brain mechanism of samahdi depends upon an overstimulation
of part of the brain, and an understimulation of the parts of the brain which
cause localization of the sense of self in flesh. In fact, samahdi is not some
great indicator of holiness, it is a mundane skill to be learned. Only when
the energy completely overwhelms is samadhi involuntary. Of course WHERE your
samahdi leads you (through which aperature) is another matter entirely.
I am not demeaning the experience, I am explaining it.
When you lay down in the corpse pose, with all that kundalini activity,
you are in fact entering the first stages of sleep.
Contrary to popular belief, in sleep one module turns off at a time, not
all of them at once or even in close temporal proximity.
In fact it's your intent, that turns off the localization modules in the human
brain, while retaining the witness mode; the kundalini, if it is healthy,
flows in the proper direction and entrains the awareness towards an aperature.
I hope I explained this succinctly. Somtimes I get sloppy when I type
at full speed without thinking in words.
