Thread: Going numb during SP, need help

I guess I forgot to make it clear I know numbness is supposed to happen. My problem though is identifying if it's really from SP or cut off blood circulation.

force yourself to stay still. If your limbs go blue you know you're getting your circulation cut off. If they don't you know it's just sp.

Well, since my hands are under the covers, and it's night, I can't exactly check if they're blue without moving, or opening my eyes, so I can't really see how that's a viable solution =p

I have the same worries , because I can't tell if I’m going to numb or losing my circulation. So , I just WILD in a position where I know it's IMPOSSIBLE to lose circulation.

But , hopefully someone can answer your question. Because I would like to know too

I would suggest not even thinking about it. I have only gotten to vibrations of SP a few times, and I'm new too but from what I've read about WILDing, you are not supposed to be thinking that about what you are doing. If you are worried about circulationg being cut off, it's going to be hindering your chances to WILD.

If you do happen to wonder whether or not is numbing from SP, just tell yourself that it is part of the normal onset of SP. Have you ever woken after you have fallen asleep on your arm before? I have a few times... it's not so bad. What's the worst that can happen? Your arm is numb and tingly for a while and then your fine. Hope this helps

Yeah. I second to this. There are actually two variants people usually do....

1. Sleep in position from which you just woke up. {This position is the position where you spent a lot of time in recent period, so at least 90 minutes}. If you dont feel bad about the position as you wake up, there is no reason, why circulation should be cut off in next few minutes.

2. Sleep on your back. There really is not a reason for circulation problems. There could be a counterargument: That you cannot fall asleep while on back. Everything could be used to.. I am an example.

Did you try to listen to some binaurals while falling asleep? They are really a good way, how to concentrate your consciousness while falling asleep. Many sensations take place becouse conciousness observes too much.

first of all just try laying on your back to get into sleep paralysis. in that position you know that it isn't blood flow problems but just sleep paralysis. next, maybe you have a natural advantage in getting into sleep paralysis where it just happens. lastly, when your appendages just go numb try "moving them" in your mind but actually feeling them moving like in real life. by lifting your body out of your physical body you can endure and instant lucid dream.

just keep going...first your body tests itself and then starts to fall asleep...you just got to keep on. your almost there. the numbness is a good sign
