Spiritual Definition of Sleep Paralysis
A majority of us will try to make sense of things, things that sometimes do not make sense. Science will try to add in its formulas and test results will come back negative, yet as the veil between the invisible and physical world becomes as thin a spider web, there will be no more trying to make sense. It will be only to accept what is.
I heard about her sleep paralysis story from a family friend, the feeling of being held down as she was asleep or half asleep. The feeling of fear as she tried to move her body and scream for someone to come help her, all but useless as she was experiencing sleep paralysis.
Sleep paralysis is a temporary inability to move or speak that occurs when you’re waking up or falling asleep. It’s not harmful and should pass in a few seconds or minutes, but can be very frightening.
For as long as I can remember, my Mom called sleep paralysis, ma đè, translated from Vietnamese into, being held down by a ghost. When I heard of Jane’s sleep paralysis story and how it kept happening to her even when she would move downstairs to sleep on the couch, I ended up tapping into her auric field to get a sense of what or specifically, who was holding her down.
