Megan, sorry for the delay, I was sick. Wow, I canāt believe you took the time to research this for meā¦thank you! This is a relief to know because I did want to try it, again, but was a bit afraid! Itās good to know that this is something that can happen and that it is ok (and that Iām not the only one this happens to!) Also, thanks for the link.
Thanks, again!

I am surprised that you had this experience with the Monroe Institute protocols. Did you have a mentor/teacher at the time? Did you ever report this experience to them or ask someone about it?

Researching for you also helps me, so itās a win-win!

Astral projection or travel the first time it happens can be frightening, So be prepared, I having never researched it properly was terrified that I was lost and would never get back into my body, All you have to know is just will yourself back and you are instantly returned. I unfortunately have never been able to control it, When I want to I cant, But when just having a little morning meditation Iām off most of the time its great, but it has been a few times harrowing I think when people are in a disaster situation and crying for help they may attract the unwary astral traveler.

Welcome, @roy2!
Thank you for your advice and warnings about astral travel, Roy- they are much appreciated! 
It sounds like you have mastered the ability to enter the astral planes which is really neat. As for the control, Iām certainly no expert, but from what youāve said it sounds like training control for astral travel might be similar to training for control in lucid dreams as well. Lots of mental strength, confidence, and self-belief training involved in order to control the situation and properly āsteerā yourself 
Thanks again for sharing your experiences- Iām wishing you continued success (and hopefully no more harrowing or frightening experiences!) with your astral travelling! Good luck and blessed be

This is a good to know. It shows that this is not something to be done lightly and that, though we will always return to our bodies, it is important to be careful andā¦maybe itās not for everyone. I might try it one more time and if I struggle again, I probably would not be inclined to try it again. Thank you.

Iām late to the party 
, but I was given a meditation formula for astral travel. It was this.
Have a pyramid shape crystal, large. Black obsidian good for protection. Hold it in your hand and focus your attention on it, visualising yourself inside the pyramid. See itās high walls around you, and walk down the long corridor. Enter a large room, with several doorways off of it. Inside that large room, place a personal object to you, that object in the room will be your focal point to bring you home. Then choose a door, and walk through it. The personal object should bring you back home if you need it. So you donāt get lost.
Iāve yet to try this method, I get to the room but get a little lost once in there, the meditation becomes unstable and everything starts to blend. Iāve journeyed with Loki but itās been in meditation, not a physical separation, though I know from other Lokeans he does do this. Has anyone tried this method

Iāve never heard of this method before, but Iāll tuck it away from future use and let you know how it goes!

Someone told me about this a while ago, but I havenāt tried it. I totally forgot about trying it, actually. 
Picking a personal objectā¦ I wonder what to use.

Iād try it but I suck at remembering directions so idk lol

Record yourself saying the directions and listen to them. 
Iām considering doing that for myself. It might help me get over the sound of my own voice, too.

You remind me I need a voice recorder and a hand mirror.

But if you follow the recording wouldnāt the way out be opposite to the way in? Youād think I was talking about math but nope just simple directions. Leave it to me to make it harder than it is

True.
What if you record the return and set it to play after X amount of time passes? So, like, if youāre not out within 15 minutes, it plays.
An easy of getting it to play after a certain time would be if you can set it as an alarm tone. 
Although, youād have to make it somewhat short. Thereās a max length played for alarms, I think.
