Sleep Paralysis

cube · May 21, 2004, 08:32:10

Standard procedure when you have sleep paralysis is to start taking deep breaths. This will cause you to OBE and if you just want your body back you can end the projection instantly by thnking about your body.

I really have to try that technique to take deep breaths. If this works then all my efforts to OBE have paid off and I will be the KING of AP from the RTZ. One thing I can always seem to accomplish is sleep paralysis from the state of waking up. Just last night I had it Cube. If it works I'm going to personally fly over to thank you. I will keep everyone advised.

Boats, if you come over to thank me please pull me out of body!

Are you using interrupted sleep to get paralysis or are you able to get paralysis just from waking up normally in the morning?

I've been trying to get it so I go to bed at 10 and get woken up at 3 so I can try for paralysis, but I've had insomnia and can't go to sleep until about 2:30. If you have a way to go paralysed from waking up normally that would be a huge shortcut for me.

KrazyKitty,

When I was a kid--from the ages of 5 through 16, or so--I often woke in paralysis. Sometimes I slipped back into dreams without realizing it, and only thought that I was still conscious of the paralysis. That sounds like what happened with you. At one point you were genuinely conscious of sleep paralysis, then in the midst of it you slipped into a dreamstate and continued the theme.

Good luck with trying to have an OBE!

Namaste,
Reemy

The best way I have found to assure Sleep Paralysis is sleep deprivation. Most of the time I work 2 full time jobs so this is easy to accomplish. For me there is nothing like working 22 hours straight for the paralysis to happen. It almost always happens during day light. I can quite often get it after meditating before going to sleep in a sitting position and then listening to new age music as I fall asleep while visualizing lying in bed at a remote location. One thing I have the ability to do is to wake myself up at almost anytime by visualizing a clock with the hands positioned at the time I want to awake and only have 1 or 2 hours to sleep, so clearly a part of my mind is always aware. I would sugest mentally telling yourself to awake after 1 hour of sleep and that you want to be in paralysis. I wrote in a prior post that before I knew anything much about OBE I made a pyramid and positioned it over my bed. I got so tired of the paralysis I stopped using it. I do not know weither the pyramid actually had energy or it activated my subconscious mind to cause the paralysis.

Boats, how did you get the idea of making a pyramid over your bed? Was it an actual physical pyramid?

BOATS · May 22, 2004, 18:57:07

I took plain cardboard and cut it into 3 equal size triangles 12" in height. I then taped it together so it resembled the classic pyrmid shape. I hung it over my bed at about 5 feet from my heart chakra. I can not remember where I first got the idea but think it was either from one of those Time/Life books about the occult or a Seth book by Jane Roberts. I'm going to make one again tonight to see what happens.

Please let us know how it goes. BTW a pyramid has 4 sides and a bottom.

BOATS · May 22, 2004, 20:34:44

Mine was 3 sided and had no bottom, however 4 sided would also work too. I just put a four sided one together. If I had have been an architect at Giza designing the pyramids they would never have gotten built. That thing was hard to put together. I am working all night so will be sleep deprived tomorrow and will try it.

Lol, hey maybe in a past life you made this one:

Stuart Wilde has written about clouds of light hanging up in the peaks of the ceiling in churches where the positive etheric energy of prayers gets caught. Maybe your pyramid somehow helps to collect positive energy for you?

BOATS · May 22, 2004, 21:43:12

I have a Smart Filter on my computer here at work and it will not let me into the site you posted. It tells me its entertainment related. Thanks for the site and I will look at it later. If it's photos of the pyramins in Eqypt I was there several years ago and thay are fantastic.

anyone also gets vibrations like me when i have sleep paralysis

cube · May 24, 2004, 07:24:16

I usually get vibrations with paralysis but not always.

Zangatese · May 24, 2004, 08:48:52

I get the vibes with paralysis. Havent had a chance to experiment much with it yet though.

Kitty:
Dont be afraid of it, just relax into it. Do some exercises mentioned before, breathing and such... the key..is to not be afraid, learn to control your fear and you shouldn't slip into a nightmare type situation..

Ive been trying to OBE for over a year now without success. Yesterday when I got home from school I layed down on the couch and took a nap. I was dreaming that I was hanging out with my friends. It was partially lucid but I didnt have full control. When I woke up I couldnt move. I wasn't scared at first because I associate sleep paralysis with OBEs. I was watching my uncle play on the computer. The phone rang and I watched him answer it. Still I couldnt move. I think at this point I drifted back to sleep though it still felt very real. I felt my uncle beside the couch but could only open my eyes a little. His hand was in a position ready to back slap me and he was really angry. I was really scared and I still couldnt move. I tried to yell out for help but I couldnt. Then I slowly regained concienceness and saw that my uncle was still at the computer. Im not even sure if I ever woke up. It was really weird. Any insight would be appreiciated.
