Re: Can I Astral Project through Sleep Paralysis?

yes, sure. i tried to send it to you because i don't want to sound rude or like elite. I just signed up on this forum, and previously when i was trying to find another person with sleep paralysis that also astral projects, people mistook what i was saying, and their experiences seemed a lot different. what i experience is or seems actually leaving the body. while, it seems like a lot of other people do not believe that you can leave the body and that you are merely shifting your consciousness. (correct me if im wrong, im speaking of the people in the last forum i signed up on. ) I am diffinately no expert, but i would like to talk with other people who do have sleep paralaysis, so i or we can really know the difference. If having sleep paralysis is something different from meditation astral projection, is it the same? are we doing the same thing? and why does it happen automatically for some people?

if your sleep paralysis is similar to mine, when you fight the paralysis, it gives way to an intense shaking, like a seizure. instead of panicing or fighting it when the paralysis sets in, try to sit up. roll over on you side, or (more difficut, but you can do it) is trying to push your essense/ spirit- whatever you want to call it- up. you can try focusing on your third eye, if it helps give yourself a focus point for an exit.

once you stop fighting it, instead of a seizure type episode, it will be more like a vibration, and that's when you want to try to "exit".  you will still probably have the loud thunder sound in your ears, but you will stop having the scary hallucinations and violent shakes.  also, if you get pulled back in to your body prematurely, usually you can still feel the vibrations and you can exit again. It's really easy once you get it the first time. you don't have to meditate.  to stop it just wiggle you pinky or toe.

how often do you have the S.P. episodes?

@Calamity

I get into sleep paralysis often, may be 3-4 times a week. Thanks for the information, I usually get paralyzed, But I was not knowing what I have to do after that. Thanks for the answer, I will try to move any of my body parts tonight & Let you Know my experience.
Sometimes I get scared when I'm Paralyzed, at the time of sleep paralysis, I hear so many voices, I don't hear any buzzing sound, Why I hear so many Voices?

Hi calamity,

When I started Astral projection, I used to get paralyzed, After that I searched what was happening to me, I didn't know what to search, After that when I searched for "Problems in Astral Projection" I got to know what I was experiencing is Sleep Paralysis.
Then I read that It is one of the process happens before Astral Projection, It is must, Sleep paralysis is must to have Astral Projection,
then whoever sleep paralyzed is gifted. they can have Astral projection easily, they must just calm down & doing what you had said is enough to Project.

jeff,

sorry if i confused you. only move your fingers or toes if you want to stop the paralysis or to return to your body. I don't know why you hear the voices. I used to hear voices or have full hallucinations, but that has stopped since I started to project. I think a part of the brain really is asleep, and you are dreaming but also still seeing your room and surroundings. like what Parveen k posted, your body is asleep and your mind is awake. The sleep paralysis is really when your body releases a chemical which paralyses you, but the brain or a part of it is still awake. Somehow this combination is what also allows astral projections. but once you astral project, those hallucinations will stop.  The freaking out is my biggest problem, too. I find it really easy to astral project now, but i still have a lot of trouble traveling.  every time you try it, you will become more and more comfortable with the experience. I have, though sometimes i still panic when something is different. Nevermind about the roaring sound then. Did you never have the shaking?

Parveen:

Thanks!! I am still new at this. Im 29 and have had sleep paralysis since i was 13, but i only figure out i could astral project for about a year. I've tried to find other's with S.P, this is the frist site i have found!! So i'm happy to know that im not crazy and this is real ( i was doubting myself becuase everyone insisted I was dreaming or looked at me skeptically. So, you knew from the beginning that it was astral project?  I had no idea that S.P was able to astral project. I thought something was trying to possess me or something. Then I thought it was a seizure disorder because the shaking got worse as the years went on. It was dumb luck or providence that i found a book in the library one day about astral projecting that the writer described SP and the light bulb went off.
So, the other's who say a shifting of consciousness, Do you know what it is that they are doing? I dont think it is astral projection, but since i cant feel what they do, i dont know. It sounds different, but they say it is astral projection and astral projections is just a shift of consciouness. I am glad to know that the S.P is what causes A.P, thank you I was wondering about it. I know it really shouldnt matter to me, but im curious by nature so it will drive me crazy

Belief makes everything real, I have seen many skeptics, They just try to disprove things easily, But they wont stand in their words, They explain something today & they start explaining something else tomorrow. Don't hear their words, Just think in your point of view & your experience, Skeptics cant have these type of experience.

No I didn't know that it was Astral Projection, In the Age of 6 I had a nightmare, when the nightmare scared me a lot, I suddenly woke up, But Actually I didn't wake, As soon I woke I can't able to move at all, I can't even speak (My first Sleep Paralysis), That was my first nightmare & that was the first dream that I remember till date, That was the start for my highly scary Nightmares, As I was a kid, My mom advised me to pray to God before sleep, Even after that I used to get Nightmares, I tried many ways to stop it, everything failed, But when I was searching to stop my Nightmares for past 2 years, I got to know about All these Paranormal(Astral Projection, Lucid Dreaming, Sleep Paralysis & all). After that I got to know that Sleep paralysis is one of the process happens before Astral projection. Sleep Paralysis is one of the Crucial thing for Astral projection.
