How do I induce sleep paralysis?/I noticed you mange to get sleep paralysis and since I'm trying to get it to for the void state, do you have any tips for a guaranteed way to enter sleep paralysis and maybe your method too?/For sleep paralysis I only need to lie down and wait for my body to fall asleep and my brain thinking I am already asleep right?/ I’d like to ask if you listen to anything while inducing it ? And if you affirm for sp or the mantra “mind awake body sleep" ? / I just wanted to ask if you had any methods or tips for people who struggle with inducing sleep paralysis also is there a DR that you visit frequently 🌻 💙 (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)
I’ve always naturally had sleep paralysis. If usually occurred when I was scared or on edge at night. I sometimes got it in an unfamiliar location. Sleep paralysis was something I started to get around ten to twelve, when I’d be scared at night. I’d wake up in it at night and later began to shift through it. But eventually I stopped getting it so I started to induce it. I usually wake up throughout the night anyways. I’ve always have. So once I make myself kind of paranoid. I lay down to sleep and close my eyes for about 5 minutes. As I fall asleep I open my eyes for about a minute. And I kind of do that over and over again until my eyes are heavy. Then I just wake up in sleep paralysis once I’m finally asleep. But I don’t always have to induce it and sometimes still wake up in it. It only takes me about five minutes to shift from it. I don’t listen to anything because I usually wake up in the middle of the night with it and my AirPods are already dead by then. When I affirm, I just say whatever I want. Usually it’s I’m shifting or specific affirmations to my dr. I usually but it can be longer like fifteen minutes. The dr I visit the most frequently is probably my main dr because it’s very chill old money vibes.
Do I have to be in sleep paralysis or some altered state to shift?/Is Sleep Paralysis necessary because I like to shift from it?
No. Definitely not. You can shift however you want to. I personally shift a lot of the times by just thinking about where I want to go. So you can do whatever really. The only commonality about every shifting success was that I eventually became so focused on my dr that I wasn’t thinking of anything else and convinced I was there. Every method and state is kind of to help get to that point.
Aren’t all methods, including sleep paralysis, dependent on mindset, like needing to convince myself that I can achieve it or shift from it? Should I try to push past the doubts and fully convince myself that I can do it?
There is no need to fix your mindset to achieve sleep paralysis or shift from it. Plenty of people do both of these things without knowing and with no knowledge of how it works. I don’t why people still think a mindset change is necessary. It’s only as necessary as you make it. I never changed my mindset instead I kind of just trust that whatever I do it’ll work out just how it needs to. But I’ve always kind of been like that. If you feel like changing your mindset will help you trust in yourself. Then do it. But all you need to do is trust yourself.
Doesn’t getting sleep paralysis feel like when you shift? Like when you get SP it’s instant and you just KNOW you’re in there, is it the same with shifting?
It’s kind of like that I guess. I’d put it more closely to falling asleep where it’s kind of gradual with sounds and smells, and then all of a sudden your asleep or there and everything loads instantly into your mind.
And I was wondering what is the next step when in SP? Do I just affirm and visualize my dr and it manifests instantly?
Usually once I get into sleep paralysis, I just start affirming and thinking about where I’m going. Sleep paralysis is not the void state. At least not in my experience. When I shift through sleep paralysis it takes maybe five minutes. And I hear sounds and smells, and then I shift. While with the void state it is instant.
Should I keep trying to induce sleep paralysis despite feeling scared, or should I explore other methods?
Not if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Methods only work (at least for me) if you want to be doing them. If you’re just doing it because everyone else is. It’s just going to make you drag your feet about it. Explore other methods and if that feels better keep going.
How do you push through the state when your body resists falling asleep while trying to shift with sleep paralysis, and has this ever been an issue for you?
Just chill out really and don’t care about it. Just focus on what outcome you want from it. I.e. your dr. I usually fall asleep first then wake up later on in the night. And then either get sleep paralysis or try to induce it. You should ideally be awake but not too awake. And do not turn on your phone at all. For any reason.
I experience sleep paralysis daily, so I’ve been trying to shift with it, but I can only get to the point where my body feels like it’s in a different position and I’m visualizing my desired reality, but can’t progress further./Could you offer any advice or tips to help me successfully achieve sleep paralysis for accessing the void, as I’ve only experienced some heat and vibrations so far?/I want to try shifting through sleep paralysis, but I either fall asleep or end up moving after 45 minutes of trying; do you have any tips to help me stay in the paralysis state?
Just keep going with it. If it feels right just keep trying it until you find a rhythm that works for you. It might be a good sign for you that you are feeling something. Especially if you never felt any type of symptoms with shifting. I can only really tell you to experiment with different things and see what gets you closest. And what makes you feel the most positive. However, if you feel it’s not working. Or if you tried everything and it doesn’t work. Then it might not be for you or you can just detach your emotions from the method. And just do it for fun and not to get anything out of it. The only tips I can really give you is to somehow do the opposite of whatever you’ve been doing. If it hasn’t worked so far then flip it on its head. Try a more uncomfortable position, do affirmations of don’t do them. Just experiment with them.
Do you have any tips for overcoming the discomfort of the “roll over signal” when trying to manually induce sleep paralysis?/Is it normal to feel a burning weight on my back during sleep paralysis when trying to shift, and should I wait longer despite the discomfort to see if it eventually works?/As soon as the roll over signal disappears and I feel like heavy I start to “panic” because I feel so close to shifting which makes me sabotage my own attempt?
When that happens to me I just focus on the itching going away and think of myself scratching it. It usually goes away after a bit. It just feels really bad while it’s happening but lasts about four minutes. So just keep pushing through. I take things like that as I sign I’m shifting when I’m uncomfortable. Because usually when I’m uncomfortable I’m close to shifting. Because the itching or burning is more of an illusion. Whenever I stop to scratch it’s literally not there. So I just think of it to be as a hurdle I have to cross. And just continue to wait longer and distract myself. Just take it easy really and observe and relish in the journey of getting there. You’re going to shift eventually just watch it come to pass.
I want to try this but the sleep paralysis thing scares me😭 I’ve never even experienced that (that I’m aware of) but the idea of it freaks me out. Is it scary?/How do you get into a sleeping paralysis 😭😭 it kinda sounds scary because when I think of sleeping paralysis I think of these demon looking things .. is it even the same thing??
I don’t think it’s that scary. When I have it I’m pretty calm. A little freaked out that I can’t move but it’s pretty easygoing. I’ve never experienced hallucinations while in it but some people do. Although I think the amount of people that do isn’t that much. As a lot of people probably get it but never talk about it because it’s not remarkable.
Hi!, do i have to open my eyes when i enter sleep paralysis or can i keep them closed and still shift because during sleep paralysis my eyes aren’t open i just see black, thank you.
Good question. Again sleep paralysis is not the void state. Whenever I have had sleep paralysis I can’t move anything at all. It’s kind of forced to be closed because you cannot move anything at all.
How are you, Leyden? I am a beginner shifter, at some point I can easily get to paralysis sleep and control my dreams, however sometimes there are moments when doubts or fears kick in, but I always try my best to convince myself to believe that I can shift (I had mini-shift) So, as you said earlier on, one of your posts you always knew that you are meant to see others realities, and that is happening with me, deep inside I know the reality I'm in right now is not where i should be, like I don't know how to explain, but I know I was born for something bigger. I'm only 17 years old 😅 I simply wanted to share my thoughts, because, I think I'm close for something.. anyway, thank you, Leyden. Your posts are the best! 🐆
Thank you so much! At first it was hard to convince myself that I could actually shift. But the more you do it the more real it becomes. To kind of relieve the doubts. I would kind of soothe my brain to stop caring about what you’re experience. And just take it in for what it is.
Hi! I have a question—last night I tried WBTB or SP, but I kept getting scared when my heart started beating fast. Later, I think I fell asleep on my side but woke up unable to move, with everything vibrating and only hearing the music I was listening to—was this sleep paralysis or something else?
That definitely seems to be sleep paralysis. Usually you can hear when you have it. At least I can and I often feel the vibrations. So congratulations!
That’s all the asks I have as of now about sleep paralysis. I hoped that answered all of them.
@angelfromtokyo @idcdrivefor24 @d34d3nd @nabia-bia
suddenly im seeing the color blue everywhere,,,?
i went to bed thinking about nectarines and peaches and i woke up thinking about pink and blue,, but everywhere i look, there’s smth blue?
a bunch of blue clothes on pinterest when ive never really searched for blue clothes before (i just prefer pink) and im being recommended blue foods and blue crafts and it’s cute, don’t get me wrong, but it’s so out of the blue??
idk,, im taking it as a sign tho <333
my man likes the color blue and nectarines
i love the color pink and if you gave me a nectarine id probably cry (they are gross as shit and I stand by that) ((if you like nectarines over peaches there’s smth like fundamentally wrong with you))
but when he comes over i make sure ive got a basket of nectarines in the fridge wrapped in blue cloth that reminds me of him, and i know if i go to his house he’s got peaches wrapped in matching pink cloth with my name on it
and maybe nectarines start to taste a little better because they remind me of him, and if that’s the case, id no sooner die than admit it to him
tried a method last night but I wasn’t all that into it so I just turned over and decided to go to bed,,, (I’ve been swamped with assignments and final exams and shifting was an impulsive decision that I gave up on halfway through)
nothings wrong with understanding that you’re just not ready to put in the effort to shift,, dependent on your preferred methods, or lack of, it can be extremely draining or super easy
but I decided that I would rather sleep than shift cus it was really late and I haven’t been getting much sleep the past few days,,,
as I’m laying there super annoyed that I can’t fall asleep, my vision turns like completely black,, its early morning by this point and I’ve got a small nightlight that’s semi bright,, it’s never completely dark in my room
and then the feeling,, it was weird,,, I hate roller coasters but I imagine this is how they feel,, it was like I was in a tunnel, like one of those optical illusion ones, and my vision was being like pulled forward with this tunnel thing all around me,, it felt like memories and stuff were rushing past me too
the best way I can describe it is that scene in Doctor Strange when he gets his soul like punched out of him cus that’s exactly how it felt!
it felt like my soul, or my consciousness in this instance, was being pulled out of my body here and being pulled into another one somewhere else
my heart started racing like never before and suddenly my hearing went completely silent too,,, I sleep with a white noise machine and it was like it simply faded out of existence
the whole process felt, both, excruciatingly long and extremely fast at the same time, and by the time it had ended, my heart still racing, I looked over and found that it’d only been 15 minutes,,,
because I wasn’t planning on shifting and was mainly focused on sleeping, I didn’t really know what to do,, I affirmed a bit but I was so jostled that I didn’t really know what I was affirming
eventually it ended and I felt myself wake up back in my bed with my heart pounding like I’ve never felt it do before, and I went to sleep
am I upset that I didn’t shift? kinda,, but at the same time, this is such a huge step that I don’t really mind,,, if anything it just gave me a full day to prepare, script, and make up my mind about where to shift to and what to do because I was so lost man
I'm super excited to feel those symptoms again and actually shift this time! I’m getting closer and closer to traveling realities at the drop of a pin, I can feel it
I both did and didn’t understand feeling so attached to the reality you’re shifting to that it emotionally affects you,,
like I understood when people would talk about their family or their significant others or their friends or their children in other realities and talk about how much they miss them,, I understand the concept of loving and missing someone
but I had never, personally, experienced it,, I had missed hanging out with them before and thinking of things we’d do if I were in that reality in that moment in time, but I hadn’t experienced longing over someone in another reality
but I do now and by the gods is it both the best and worst feeling in the world,,
I miss his voice and his dumb accent and his stupid witch cackles and the shitty way he dresses and his dumb flirting
I miss being in his arms and feeling him run his fingers through my hair and his hand in mine and how soft he would hold me like I was made of glass and how he loved me despite neither of us knowing what love was
I miss him
I’ve never missed someone like this before
it’s weird and it hurts, but I like it at the same time
I almost shifted again!!
I woke up early today and I was still tired but I had a really hard time going back to sleep,,
at first I was playing music from a playlist that remind me of the current reality I’m focusing on shifting to, but eventually I just shuffled through my liked songs cus it felt like, because it was a themed playlist, I was thinking too much about that reality and not on sleeping and I just really wanted to sleep
after a while I managed to go to sleep and I was dreaming and whatnot,, but similar to the last time this happened, I was in that weird state between awake and asleep,, so not entirely asleep and maintaining some consciousness
and soon enough I started getting the same tunnel/soul being pulled out of my body feeling that I got last time,, only it also felt like my body was moving??
I was laying on my side,, but I felt like I had completely turned over onto my back and my arms, that used to be by my side,, were now in front of me,,,
I’ve heard of feeling your surroundings change and feeling like your floating, but it literally felt like I had just completely rolled over, but I never did and when I went back to sleep I noticed that I was still in the same position I always was
I tried to stay rooted to that feeling and using it as a means to try and push my consciousness out of this body and into another but it didn’t work and eventually I just knocked out,,
I held onto the feeling for longer tho, which is improvement, but the main thing was that I experienced this again at all since it’s happened when I least expect it, albeit in similar sleep deprived scenarios
the next step, it feels like, is actually trying to push myself into my intended reality so I’ve gotta start looking for those final push posts, seeing what I think would work for me, and applying it
but I’m getting close!! any progress, no matter how shaky and imperfect, is still progress!
I didn’t shift, but I managed to get into that weird state of consciousness again and I know that it wasn’t just a fluke!
shifting is literally a hair away,, I just need to work on that final push

i enter pinterest on a mission to work on my dr’s boards but i always end up getting completely distracted by pictures of my s/o’s instead..
i can’t wait to know my s/o’s patterns, they way they fidget, the way their mouth moves when the say certain words, their facial expressions
i can’t wait to know them
so many of you guys know that i favour sleep paralysis, though i never tried to use it to get to the void state.
i didn’t want to use it to shift to my dr but to see what it was like.
if you’re unsure: the void state is a deep meditative state of instant manifestation.
so today i woke up at 11:00am and stayed up for an hour
i felt tired so i laid back down and after like 10 minutes i felt symptoms of sleep paralysis
not long after that i was in sleep paralysis
now at this stage i was like “for shits and giggles let me go to the void”
i said “i am” over and over again and “i am in the void state”
and oh my god literally in 5 seconds i didn’t feel my surroundings anymore
i was literally floating!!!
i felt so at peace and it was all black
i wanted to manifest my dream face so i said i have all my dream face and felt my face change omg
i also am a football fan so i manifested that we make a couple of signings during the summer!!
and after that i left the void state!
it’s literally that easy for me and i’m so happy.
i will MOST DEFINITELY be visiting the void state more often wow
if you have any questions please feel free to ask!
hope this helps !
shifting back in time is like when you're playing the sims and something bad happens so you have to quit without saving and take it from the top
Shifting advice!
Something that really helped me with my shifting journey is meditation. Meditate every day for at least 5 to 10 minutes. I meditate every day for 10 minutes using guided meditation. When I started meditating I saw a lot of improvement in my shifting journey. And it's really relaxing so why not give it a try.
Happy shifting!
