At first I tried remembering the feeling of being detached from myself, as if my body was just a shell for me, something I'm a part of but in a sense trapped in. As I cleared my mind and focused more on that feeling, I started to see things as if I wasn't really a part of any of it, including my body. And I noticed all of the sudden that my body was just a part of everything else.

Then I remembered a concept my bf had introduced to me that men were just energy that fell in love with nature and so became a part of it.

When I try to recreate the feeling it comes to me easily and it's not difficult to hold on to. I thaught that was odd because the people around me who have been trying to do it have said that it was hard for them. I didn't really have any interest in astral projection before I accidentally realized that I could.

Should I persue it further even though I had no real interest in it before? If so, whats the next step?

Hi. I would say straight off that it doesnt matter if you were interested in it before or not. It is now that matters. If you are interested in it now then by all means dedicate time and energy to it. If youre only half asses into it then your results will reflect it.
The energy you put into it directly influences your success and how deeply you can journey into the worlds on the other side of the veil as well as travel about this one.
If you are looking to just have fun, by all means do it. I am willing to bet it will lead into something much much more. It leads to a different perception of life and the place you hold within its web. It will elevate you to a new level of awareness and often will trigger you to accept other gifts you have. It will undoubtedly remove the misconception that the physical is reality.
When you can journey as a soul with a fully aware consciousness you will reap rewards and be enriched by experiences you will never find on the physical plane. Man I could tell some stories!
So to sum it up " GO FOR IT!"
Id be happy to guide you if you need it.
I will also recommend a book I have often mentioned here called simply
"Adventures Beyond the body" by William Buhlman.
It is a plain english , matter of fact book to introduce you to techniques to sharpen your skills and journey with ease and confidance. Its a great book.
