self induced sleep paralysis???

[InnateBuddha]

alright...so im really new to this but i was doing the willy sutphen relaxation tape and as i felt myself go deeper and deeper it felt like i went deaf and blind at the same time and then i couldnt  move.  ive never had sleep paralysis and it was the scariest thing....luckily i could move my finger and knocking on the wall i got myself out of it.   it happened like 4 more times after that.  how do overcome that and is that normal??

You don't need to fear sleep paralysis, it's a good sign of progress.

If you want out of paralysis, concentrate on wiggling your big toe. It works in about 30 seconds every time for me.

But you might want to ride it out, just to get used to the sensations.

At beginning I was fearing them but with experience I know they are no danger and now I like the feelings of it , the feeling of trying to move to get out of sleep.

When you are in paralysis, relax. After a few long breathes to clear any fear, attempt to wiggle your big toe. Use body awareness and focus on that big toe until you finally move it. After moving it, you will find your foot wake up, and then the rest of your body.


If you are in sleep paralysis, you can also try a projection technique because for some people it works as a stepping stone.
