I'm not sure if I got sleep paralysis using this technique (yes, I'm a n00b to LDing), but I felt kind of numb and warm while doing this technique. I had images, etc. in my head. Some of them even moved. Unfortunately, I dit not "fall into abyss", but I had this strange perception (I think it was a pre-dream) that involved me walking, for about three seconds. I opened my eyes after that, and it turned out that I was not in the lucid state. Needless to say, after doing a reality check, which proved that I was in reality, I got up from my bed.

I should say that, at te end when I saw the images, I was not doing the reverse blinking.

Oh, and by the way, this is an awesome technique (once again), but I haven't WILDed yet, so... (This was my second try at WILDing.)

Do you think that I should change something in my execution?

So, i just blink every five seconds whilst going to sleep. And then HI should kick in then i close my eyes and start seeing the HI and then it goes on from there?

Also you can reverse blink your eyes when you feel your self dazing off and when you are falling unconscious. I combine these blinks with auto suggestions "I remain awake as my body falls asleep" or "mind awake/body asleep" and that seems to work very well.

I really enjoy this technique because it gives your eyes something to do while transitioning in and through SP. It is very relaxing as well.

As for anchoring it is about associations. An example would be that say everytime you lay down think of going to sleep. Why? Because maybe every time you went to her house she gave you one. So anchoring is creating associations between two seemingly unrealated things.

Another way to understand anchoring is to think of it in terms of daily rituals. When you get dressed you feel more alert or energized. When you go to bed you take of your pants.

Now, if you violate one of your rituals this causes discomfort. For example try going to sleep with your pants or shoes on. You should be able to go to sleep but when you feel shoes on you just won't fall asleep unless there are stronger influences at hand ex: alcohol, drugs etc. This is because we associate shoes on and laying down with rest and shoes off and laying down with going to sleep.

So, if laying down with shoes on means rest but not sleep then heres an opportunity to practice inducing trance because we are less likely to fall asleep than had we done it with shoes off. Likewise we could apply a certain signal every time we are deeply relaxed and then anytime we want to be that relaxed at will we use our ritual or conditioning with signal to help us experience our associated phenomenon.

I tried this technique right after reading...Well I only used part of it. Right after I read this I sat there doing reverse blinking and twitching at the same time and I got really relaxed, and it felt like I was almost sinking into myself. I am going to try reverse blinking and twitching at the same time from now on!
