Thread: Another WILD questioin

I then spent the next 30mins to an hour just laying, breathing, getting more and more relaxed, feeling my body get heavier and heavier, started seeing flashes of light in my visual perception, but I still felt no physical sensations that lead to sleep paralysis.

Upon finally decided to call it a night, I paid particular attention to how my body felt upon shifting positions. When I moved my body I could tell it felt locked into its position, weighed down, relaxed, and constricted, so I needed to do a big stretch. It feels like my body was pretty close to sleep paralysis because initially it took more effort then normal to switch positions and I felt the above, but it was not FULL sleep paralysis.

You see as a kid I would wake up still in sleep paralysis stage sometimes, so I KNOW what it feels like to be in it fully, you can't move, you can't scream/yell...etc. However, I've never felt the in between stages of sleep paralysis, so I'm in your situation where I'm kinda sorta guessing what I should be feeling.

I've just got to do some more testing and figure out if its a matter of not being "disconnected" from my mind enough, or what?

I would love some insight on this. I think I will meditate on it today(that's my forte, no problems there).

Yeah man you basically just described the situation I'm in. It's a bitch is it not?
I can't seem to get past deep relaxation.

Yup, that's why I'm glad I saw your post. The more people in the same situation(demand) the more information will be revealed(supply) =)

As for now, the only thing we can really do is "keep doing it". Sure this was only my 3rd attempt and I don't really have room to complain, but I feel since I've been meditating since a kid it really helps with relaxation and everything. In reality, all we need to do, is just do it, and just keep doing it, and do it some more. It'll happen eventually. However, I believe with a better understanding you and me will be able to WILD sooner, rather then later. That's what I would love for this post to accomplish
