Sleep Paralysis

[Brittany]

Some of it is a bit difficult to explain in words. I'm sure you've experienced that feeling between sleeping and waking-a twilight world between the two- a brief time when your waking reality can bend and twist without being fully submerged in the unconscious. In these cases, I greatly extend that period and deepen it, sometimes for hours at a time. I am aware of my body lying on the bed, and the room around me. A part of my mind is still "present" in the physical world, but in this state I am not limited to the physical, and can peel back what I can only describe as dimensional layers to enter into multiple higher dimensions simultaneously. It is easier to divide the consciousness in this state, and do two or three things at once. I suppose the part of me still aware in the physical acts as a type of grounder for these very high energies.

As to what actually happens in those higher dimensions, I have little means of articulating it. There is an environment, but it is so different from here I can't find any object or landscape to compare it to. It is an environment shaped by consciousness, and I suppose "abstract" might be a relevant description. I meet with other consciousnesses there. Generally we have no bodies, at least not the type of heavy physical body we are used to here. In dreams a somewhat "physical" astral body usually accompanies the consciousness, even if it may differ from the regular physical appearance, but in this environment consciousnesses experience each other as what I can only describe as light. I know when another is there and can interact with them without the slightest trace of a body, yet the actions performed feel more real than anything I could do with my hands. Quite often in this state I do healing work. Some people from this forum have come to me for healing. The healing process is done with consciousness as well.

In that place I have access to much more magical knowledge and technique than what I carry with me here, as it would not be appropriate for me to demonstrate that kind of ability in front of people unable to comprehend it. When I return to full physical consciousness, the memories of the actual techniques are literally erased from my mind in the blink of an eye, leaving me with only a vague memory of what transpired. It's not uncommon for me to wake up to a stiff body, or to have odd physical sensations upon waking. The one downside to this type of work is that I never fully enter into the deep sleep that heals the body, so I often feel more exhausted when I wake up than before I went to bed; therefore this is something I tend to do in intervals, "working" for several days, then going several weeks or even months before hitting my next interval. These intervals are regulated by a subconscious/unconscious aspect of my being, so I'm never really sure when I've hit one until I'm actually in it. It amazes me, what my Self gets up to, and how flawlessly it takes care of me.
