I have been wanting to achieve AP for some time now, but I am finding the task damn near impossible. I think that I am way too grounded into my physical being to be able to do it- any attempts have been futile, so to speak. When I try the rope technique it doesn't work and I just end up just moving my body, and if I try anything else I usually wind up falling asleep.

Any tips or suggestions?

This sounds more like a concentration problem than anything else. It's crucial while doing the rope that you maintain one focused point of concentration, and if your real arms keep wanting to reach up and grab it (I'm assuming this is what you meant), then you should probably look up some concentration and focus exercises and work with those for a while.

If by "moving your body" you mean getting all itchy and wanting to roll over, you just have to ignore it, and that can be helped by focus exercises also.

sometimes it's like i am oil and the ground is water and we need to be mixed.

A few ideas...

Try using a sigil to facilitate your efforts...alternatively there are LOTS of binaural beat generators that can help. I recommend The Monroe Institute's HemiSync. You can also work on your lucid dreaming which seems to work many of the same "muscles".

You may well be self-sabotaging your efforts by trying so hard and experiencing frustration. Hang in there and it will happen in its own time.

LOL, I know what you mean.

As for "too much grounding" I guess it's really just a problem of not able to relax enough. And this is a result of not enough grounding.
