Thread: How do you relax enough to enter sleep paralysis?

i wake up ahead of time, sometimes in the middle of the morning after an REM period. i lay still, do deep breathing relaxation and meditation, but never enter SP. i lay still for sometimes like a half an hour with no advancement. i don't move any part of my body, i keep my eyes still, but still to no avail. i'm getting sick on relying on lucid aids and really want to "naturally" project.

any and all help would be much appreciated! im confident that once i reach SP, i'll be able to get out, its just getting there is too difficult for me.

I have problems with sleep paralysis too. alot of the time I'll actually enter a dream before actually being paralysed. First off I thin your tryin too hard someone mentioned breathing patterns. Yes trick your body into thinking your asleep that includes breath in breath out like your sleeping in a nice rhythem, snore if that helps. Some things I do is actually do a wild same way as normal from a lucid dream usually from a false awakening when you wake up do a rc if you find your still asleep lay back down close your eyes but not too tight problem with this is you won't see any hypnogocic imaging which is half the fun. Your already in SP while dreaming so now all you gotta do is enter wild. You may say whats the point. Well Easy dream creation and full awareness create a story and live it out.

Another one is wake yourself up from a lucid dream keep your eyes closed if you broke SP it won't be long before your paralyzed again. also someone mentioned don't think too much good advice try repeating a mantra to keep your mind awake. Also optimum brain chemastry is important try to achieve wild between the hours of 3-5. Hmm could try the stop drop and roll technique too. Try this lay on your back with your hands above your head do not cross your legs or touch your hands together as soon as your body sends a strong roll over signal like a discomfortable something or whatever than roll into a comfortable position and FREEZE do not move at all.

Do not confuse this technique with what to do when on fire.

You do not ever reach sleep paralysis while WILDing and you don't need to anyway! Those are natural sensations of relaxation and falling asleep. Sleep paralysis itself is a rare condition that don't even happens to all people and if it happens, it usually only once or twice through lifetime, it only happens often with people with sleep disorders, and you can't force it to happen in any way as far as i know.
