Sleep Paralysis—Spirit’s “Glitch” & Updating Bedtime Routine
Let’s Talk About “Jumpers”
I’m not sure about other places in the world, but in Hawai’i (where I’m from), it feels like one in three people have experienced sleep paralysis. I call them “Jumpers”—because these things seem to “jump” on us while we’re sleeping. Over the years, as a Reader and someone who’s been through it myself, I’ve noticed patterns.
Common Factors We Share:
- Heightened States: Psychic awakenings, hormonal shifts, stress, or even cosmic events (retrogrades, solar flares, meteor showers) can crank up our sensitivity.
- Physical Sensations: Feeling held down, claws/hands in the mouth (ugh), or hearing strange sounds—like the rustle of feathers I used to hear. Was it an entity? An angel? Still not sure.
- Paralysis: The classic “can’t move or scream” moment. For me, this happened a lot in my 20s. Turns out, stress from relationships and psychic “leveling up” were major triggers.
My Aunty’s Advice (That Actually Worked):
- Swear at it. worked!
- Yell, “In the blood of Jesus!” (Even if you’re not religious, try it—it’s effective.)
My last incident— Three years ago. Something tried to drag me off the bed. Spoiler for the haters😜: I’m still here. Anyhoo— Stress + spiritual growth = “Jumper” bait.
It’s Not About “Bad Vibes”
Science says it’s a brain-body miscommunication with a sprinkle of hallucinations (maybe it’s: tooth fairy dust? 😂). But since we’re here for the spiritual …
Here’s What Many Traditions Say:
Sleep paralysis often hits when our soul is snapping back into our body after astral travel. That “in-between space” as we reconnect. Perfect timing for interdimensional peeping toms to notice us. And guess what, It’s normal. Not your fault.
Fact Checks (Because I Did My Homework):
- 🇲🇽 Mexico: “Subida de muerto”—ancestors or spirits checking in.
- 🇸🇪 Scandinavia: The “mara”—a chest-sitting ghostly critter.
- 🌵 Southwest Deserts: Star beings and earth spirits.
- 🧠 Neurological Basics: During REM sleep, your body paralyzes itself to stop you from acting out dreams.Sleep paralysis? Or… or… is it your brain’s engine stalling— & does it just need a spiritual jumpstart!🔋🚗😂
- 🛌 Sleep Position: To the Back sleepers—this position can, double the odds of “Jumpers” paying a visit.
- ⚕️ Narcolepsy Link: For a small % of folks, frequent episodes could signal narcolepsy. Not common, but worth a doc check up if it’s weekly.
Environment Matters Too:
- Islands (Where I’m From): Water thins the veil between realms. Saltwater cleanses… or lets entities hitch a ride.
- Deserts (Where I Am Now): Dry, sun-charged energy burns off lower vibes but can leave your aura feeling “crispy” and staticky.
Why Do They Show Up Uninvited?
It’s not about being “weak” or “unprotected.” Time/space work differently in the spirit world—they’re just passing through the same in-between spaces we’re temporarily hanging out in.
Who’s Hanging Around?
- 😈 Christianity: “It’s a demon!” …watchout for the Holy water oozy.
- 🌟 Islam: Jinn—curious energy beings (social media’s fave).
- 🇯🇵 Japan: Kanashibari (bound by spirits). ✅ Sounds legit.
- 🇵🇭 Philippines: Bangungut—a soul-tying spirit. ✅✅ Mmmhmm.
- 🔮 Shamans: Astral dust still shaking off. ✅✅✅ I believe it’s a Combo🍟🚫included.
And and and:
- Your Energy Matters. If you’re psychic, empathic, or spiritually curious? You’re the bright star on the Christmas tree 🎄. Entities notice light—not because something’s wrong, but because you’re radiant.🌷✨
- Stress, Planetary Drama, or Awakening? Cranks your brightness to blinding.🕶️
- Depletion— Low energy = “Jumper” bait. Rest. Hydrate. Repeat.
- Chaotic Vibes (Drugs, Negativity)— You’re a springboard for fun. Boing! 🤸♀️
Protection: Our Cheat Sheet
Think of this like brushing your teeth (assuming you do… hehe). Just good maintenance!
Gentle Tools to Try:
- Archangel Michael: “Please hook me up with your light.” Visualize it—seals the deal. If you’re scared, just whisper or think, ‘Archangel Michael, I need help.’ Works every time.
- Bubble Visualization: Glittery golden bubble around your bed. You’re the designer!
- Crystals/Herbs: Black obsidian or rosemary. Helpers, not fix-alls.
- Grounding: Walk barefoot, eat a salty snack, hug a tree (Let me if it hugged you back 🌳😉). Oh, And don’t forget the basics: A consistent sleep schedule and some dark + quiet rooms can work wonders!
- Bed Setup: Move it out of corners, close doors, cover windows, & or add a bowl of salt nearby—Himalayan lamp works too, Just “Activate” these things with intent.
Most Important: Tune into your body. Stress, exhaustion, or ignoring intuition thins your energy shield. Rest + water = protection. Irony Yep. 😅
Shake Those “Ukus” Off:
- Swear at it (mentally). Feels endless, but works.
- Call on Jesus, ancestors, or your angel (no name needed).
- Blink rapidly, wiggle toes, or imagine starlight bursting from your chest.
Psychic Wake-Up Call… or Spirit Booty Call?
Maybe it’s your spirit gang saying:
- “Hui, your third eye’s getting stronger!”
- “Heal that old fear/pain in your energy field.”
- “Honey, you’re an astro-pilot & you need practice.” ✈️
Metaphysical Tidbit: Some say the “silver cord” (soul-body tether) vibrates during re-entry, making you visible. Mine’s got bass. 🎸
Bottom Line: It’s a sign you’re leveling up—not a punishment. Scary… Yes. But you’re here, reading this. You’ll be okay.
Your Questions Answered!
“Can sleep paralysis harm us?”
Nope! Scary but temporary—it’ll pass.
“What if I want to interact?”
…Why??! 🧐 Proceed with caution. Set mental “no trespassing” signs. Let me know how it goes. 😶🌫️
“Past-life stuff?”
Could be! Unresolved karma or soul contracts might trigger it.
Debates & Love Letters
Others Say:
- “You’re ignoring psychology!” True! Sleep deprivation/stress matter—see a doc if it’s frequent. Ps—If it’s happening a lot, check in with a doc—it could signal sleep apnea, anxiety, or other sneaky stuff.
- “Not all entities are bad!” Agreed! You decide what’s safe.
- “Banishing rituals!” For some, yes. But who’s doing full rituals after work? Shhht.
My Take: Awareness is key. Know your state. A simple “keep me safe” prayer before bed works. If it gets heavy? Not sleep paralysis anymore, we’re talking about a whole different blog.
Final Pep Talk
Sleep paralysis is your spirit’s “glitch in the Matrix.” Temporary. Nuts. A chance to flex spiritual muscles. Next time:
- Stay calm (fake it till you wake it).
- Call for help (angels, ancestors, or scream).
- Know it’ll slow down once you address it.
P.S. Salt your windowsills—it has no flavor (nah, spiritual hack, A little goes a long way). Thank your guides. Give God glory! Share Your gratitude to the Universe, whatever you jam. And never underestimate how much you ARE in control.
