Funny thing.. I just created a post about this.. You can read it here:

My problem is trying to progress from the Paralysis state. I get stuck there. I can usually break free physically, but not astrally. It's a very confusing and new state indeed.
In answer to your question about getting BACK to it. The first step is realizing there is nothing to be afraid of. This was my first problem.. because I often felt the "presence" of very strange things around me.. and now I wish them away when I reach the paralysis state. At least for me, they obey. (Whatever 'they' are)
Basically what I do is fall asleep while staying awake. This is actually pretty easy for me... I just focus on the blackness in front of me and think of absolutely nothing. Occasionally I will do breathing techniques, where I breathe in Pure Postive White air.. and breathe out a Bright Negative Red air. Then I just occupy myself with thoughts of nothing while my body falls asleep. After a while, (you wont realize it) your body shuts down.
Then from here, you are stuck in the "energy" body, just between the physical and the astral. This part sucks. lol This is where I am having problems. You may want to read my thread so you can get an idea what i'm personally going through. It may help!
It sounds like you are experiencing some pretty cool things. Keep at it, you will definitely get there!

I was never 'afraid' but I was... amused I guess I'd say, that I couldn't move. It felt comfortable. But I also knew I had to get up to go to the store.
I just want very badly to know of the best way to get back to that state. It was the most relaxed I had ever been, and it was truely a complete absense of physical sensation.
A while ago I, for the first time, felt what I believe was sleep paralysis. Me and my girlfriend were suppose to go to the store, but I was really tired, and we were lying in bed relaxing before we were meant to go. So, I of course tried to keep my thoughts about me so I wouldn't pass out and miss our opportunity to leave.
Well, after a few moments, I 'blacked out' then, seemingly instantly, became aware again. But this time, something was different. I was very relaxed and comfortable. Then, as soon as I went to lift my arm up, it was like it wasn't even there. I halfway knew what was going on, but for some reason (amused by the feeling) felt compelled to try and move my body. I fought to sit up, keeping a constant strain and making the most of an audible sound that I could (which ammounted to no more than a type of hiss between my teeth).
After what seemed like about 10 seconds of straining, I gave way to movement. My girlfriend asked if I was dreaming, but I told her what had happened (she knows of my interests in OBEing). My question is, was this most likely sleep paralysis? And, most importantly, how do I get back to it?
I have tried recalling the way it felt, to try and get my mind to know what I desire. But so far I have had no luck. Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.
