How to unlock the Spirit Walking achievement in The Medium - Definitive Guide

You will reach a point where you use an elevator for the first time after meeting a ghost girl called Sadness. Pick floor 1, then hold B to jump out of your body, your achievement tracker will go up. You will get this over natural progress of the game but you can do it here if you just want to get it over with. You will die if you let it continue for over a minute (10% in the tracker), so hold B again to go back to your body. Rinse and repeat.

You can get this achievement by leaving your body by holding B when you get out of the lift. Then just pause the game for 10 minutes so you don't have to keep popping in and out of the body.

ApexAssassin's pause trick may only work at the first location you can do it in, the lift. I just left it paused for 15 minutes at a much later part of the game
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***
and it didn't advance the tracker percentage at all, unfortunately.

This achievements can be missable, I completed the game without getting it (98%). But I was planning on doing a 2nd playthrough anyway

Seemed to be working for me but got stuck at 91%, hopefully sorts itself out.

Try doing that the second time you enter the lift. It may just be glitched at the beginning. I did it right at the end of the game had no issues.

During the Niwa hotel resort section of the game, you'll gain the ability to be Out of Body by holding button-b.png when using the elevator. Be cautious though, as you do use a bar that depletes when using this new ability. This will come naturally during gameplay.

Missable

Periodically throughout the game, you'll go into a split reality that lets you control both Material-World Marianne and Spirit-World Marianne. If you hold circle.png, you'll enter an "out of body" experience and will be able to to control just Spirit-world Marianne for a short period of time. As you're in the mode, your body will slowly start to deteriorate and if you stay in for too long, you'll die. You need to spend a total of 10 minutes in this mode for this trophy. You can get about 30-40 seconds in each time before you die, so you'll need to do this a few times. Depending on if you used the walkthrough found here or not will determine how much time you'll have to spend grinding this out before the end of the game.

The last place that you can work on this trophy will be at the Water Pump Station. If you get past the demon at the end of this section, you won't be able to go into an "out of body" experience again, so make sure you have this before you complete that part. If you get past that section and don't have the trophy, reload an autosave within the Water Pump Station and grind it out. If you don't have an autosave available, you'll need to start a new game to get it. The PS5's trophy tracking feature does a pretty good job of telling you how much time you've covered, so if you feel like it "should have popped already", just get the trophy list to see what % you're at with this trophy.

You don’t have to focus too much on this achievement, because... for the first passage you will unlock 100%.
I ran outside my body for a long time, towards the end, in a bunker.
