Aware Of The Sleep Paralysis

Hello, pulsar.
I managed to get an online reading from a medium and she told me it was a girl/teen energy who tried to be playful but ended up scaring the <blanket> out of me... And won't do it again even though is still ''here, but hiding''. And the black cat perception was a portal (energy pocket) which I should close by smoking the house with sage.
I don't think I'll have problems snapping out of future SP's (if I'll ever get new ones), because the 2nd time I got out of it at will.
Thanks for the info,
soupflood.

Hi Soupflood

Sleep Paralysis is terrifying but, from what you described... The black figure seems to be a apparition of your subconscious fear manifesting as a visual medium. I have Waking Paralysis VERY regularly, about 10 times per month. Sometimes waking paralysis can indicate an attack and other times it's simply an indication that you want to Astral project.

Personally, for me, the waking paralysis was initially a sign of attack but, don't jump to conclusions. The next time it happens, try to go with the flow and start grounding. Some people think (me included) that waking paralysis is caused by either not having enough energy (it could be that you astral'd unconsciously before becoming lucid) to fully astral project with lucidity, or that your energy flow is not smooth enough (chakra's).

So, next time it happens... Start grounding and focus on smooth, slow and powerful movements, like tai chi. If this does not work, people most often guide you to try and move a finger or something small to wake up. For me, that does not work at all. I would recommend that you try and roll over. Speaking with about 8 years of experience with waking paralysis, I think this works best.
Probably because it's a natural movement for the body even under deep sleep.

Try not to yell though, you might yell in your sleep, waking everyone else in the house.

Continue training and don't give up.

A Little advice on astral projection: a lot of people on the web will tell you to make affirmations before astral projecting. Though, this does help, a LOT, it also attracts other entities. I have learned this the hard way, when you astral project do it by yourself, with your own energy and don't call on other entities to help you. And also people might disagree with me on this (I'm probably going to get a ear full of this), but, don't contact your spirit guide, familiar or whatever before you have learned to properly astral project.

Oh, and the blanket thing: When you astral project (or begin to separate from your body) you are able to see with your eye lids closed. This is because you start seeing with your "energy double". So what most likely happened is that your energy double levitated slightly, just above the covers.

Interestingly though, a lot of experts say that the information input while astral projecting is way different during astral projection and that the reason you "see" and "hear" stuff is because that is the only way the biological brain can interpret that information. Like opening a word document with adobe reader. Food for thought...
