It is definitely spiritual, the work of an "incubus" attacking your life.... You have to tackle it spiritually as such spirits tend to be quite agressive.... People who experience such always have lots of problems in life, they find it hard keeping a relationship talk more or less getting married.

It’s not by quoting what you read on google, pray you don’t experience it.. experience they say is the best teacher.
Sleep psralysis is more like a medical Condition such as insomnia, narcolepsy, sleepwalking etc. Its not everyone it affects. Nothing to be scared about.

I WILL GIVE YOU AN ASSIGNMENT THAT WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. FROM NOW ON, MAKE SURE YOUR ROOM DOOR HAS A DOOR CURTAIN AND ALWAYS SLEEP FACING THE CURTAIN. NEST TIME YOUR FEEL HAVE SLEEP PARALYSIS AS YOU CALL IT AND IMMEDIATELY YOU STRUGGLE TO WAKE UP JUST LOOK STRAIGHT TO THE DOOR CURTAIN AND NEVER BLINK YOUR EYES. YOU WILL SEE THE SPIRIT LEAVING THE ROOM WITH A PUSH ASIDE SIGN ON THE CURTAIN AS IF SOMEONE IS LEAVING THE ROOM. NOTE THAT THE CURTAIN WILL PULL ASIDE OR OUTSIDE. KINDLY NOTE THAT THE PERSON THAT IS DOING THE EVIL PLAY WITH YOU IS ALSO SLEEPING SOMEWHERE NOT FAR FROM YOUR HOUSE. There are some sleeping position that make your body assessible by the spirit. Dont sleep facing up directly, dont sleep with your hands cross behind your head and dont cross your led while you sleep. IT IS A DEEP SPIRITUAL MANIPULATION. PRAY AGAINST IT. SHALLOM!









You are right

Its spiritual manipulation.

It can be both spiritual and natural... Everything in Nigeria can be used against you spiritually... Any Nigerian saying there isn't jazz or spirit realms is being fake...

I once had one that scared the hell out of me... I always sleep with my stomach/chest down tho and i don't switch on the light while I sleep... After the whole experience i realized my sleeping position changed from vertical to horizontal...

This happened to me, but it's been a while.
Tbh, in my own understanding cos my dad is a pastor, it's actually spiritual. Tf, why would demons or witchcraft hold n pin me down , my whole body go numb

The biggest part is my voice gets taken or seized, cos at that moment when I wanna shout mom or dad, I find it hard to let out a faint voice.

Well in the normal non spiritual world, it could actually be natural or supernatural involving the spiritual. It's just complicated n confusing

But it's just really ain't a good stuff, yeah pray bout it.

in my own understanding sleep paralysis is, i would not call totally spiritual but metaphysical. the reason being that when we sleep, our soul leaves our body to go to the spirit realm to communicate with where it belongs and this is the reason why we dream and i feel that our whole body knows this including our brain so at the point when we come back from the metaphysical world, sometimes there is not yet a sync with our brain and thay state our brain was when we temporarily left our body, is that same state we are when we gain consciousness of our environment and cannot move. because of that sync which only lasts for a few seconds or max minutes. its just like when you are pressing a non respinsive touch screen that take a while to resspond to touch inputs.

anyway, i feel like when our souls come back, sometimes it does not send that signal to the brain to send reactive pulses to the body at the time. i think this is plausible in a senseand the other ft be say them dey press you bad for sleep grin

Africans tag everything as spiritual no wonder the continent is so backwards..

What have you achieved that someone wants to "pin you down"? undecided

Anyways, see a doctor if your having that often. We are not health experts here.
Is the madness yours or you borrowed it?
Educate yourself very well before coming online to disgrace your certificate
The believe of demon been behind the sleep paralyse is not only African thing, even many part of European and American countries believe the same

Many people like you here believes that is only Africans that believe in spiritual stuff

As a doctor, do you confirm that someone has HIV without running a medical test

The only way you can know what this is all about is by passing through the same process inorder to determine the exact cause of it!

Like I said, if you haven’t experience this before in your entire life, you have no right to pass any form of judgement on it!

I first experienced it when I was so young, I think when I was just around 6 years old, it was few minutes after we finished vigil in church, yeah, I first experienced it right inside the church. I was just lying there conscious but I couldn't moved any parts of my body but after few seconds, I regained my freedom, and till now I haven't told anyone about it.

And since then, I've been experiencing sleep paralysis but not everyday, maybe once or twice in months, even sometimes weeks.

And I always felt someone or creature or spirit pinning me down, it always very difficult for me to do anything or move at all despite the fact that am awake, this ain't exaggeration, I always feels/felt someone pinning me down during the periods.

This morning own was something else, it was as if the someone is into me somehow, I slept on my side, and I felt someone pinning me down from back like aggressively cuddling me. It was horrified. My asshole is even doing me somehow or its just my mind playing trick. Only heard about spirit wife, is there gay spirit as well? embarassed

I don't sleep naked and am a male of 26. Is sleep paralysis normal or my own could be spiritual? Am a Christian but not "real" Christian like that, only go to church once awhile.

God should just have mercy on me, I've been going through a lot couple challenges and this is even least of them.

What do you think?
That thing is scary AF. I honestly don't know what to think of it

I don't like talking about spiritual stuff but to me it is damn spiritual and nobody can convince me otherwise(at least from my own experiences).
The first two times I experienced it, it read some highly spiritual books before going to bed.
The preceding ones all came at the same time.
There was a time I embarked on a one week prayer session which I always start at 03:00 am. Immediately I lay down to sleep the paralysis happens. This happened consecutively for the one week. From the 3rd day, they didn't even wait for me to sleep, I was conscious while I got paralysed(I always sense it before it starts.. like there's this force around the room, I'll just smile and before you know it the paralysis starts.. while I'll be screaming Jesus' name in my mind).
There was a day it was extreme, I literally left my body.. I saw my spirit leaving while i was screaming Jesus. The paralysis that day lasted longer than other days.
Anytime I pray by 03:00am they must come around.
A lot of things I would have said but I had to make this short.
P.S. I won't argue with anybody or respond to mentions telling me what I typed is rubbish
Hallucination.

I read few comments, I reached 3 or 4 pages.

I've experienced sleep paralysis and happy everyone here can also relate to the occurrence.
I will not be taking sides if it's spiritual or natural.

It can be spiritual to you if it frightens you after happening. I was frightened aswell couple times it happened.
If you are conscious with your body too well, you will not linger on it too much.

Africans are to spiritual, I don't care if you are from any form of religion practised. Most of our problems can be solved technically but we are so spiritually blind to see beyond.

Once again I say brother man Emancipate yourself from that form of slavery you unconsciously put yourself.

You're the one who's mentally caged.

You're suffering from self-imposed blindness.

You look at life through the lens called science, whereas science doesn't have it all. Infact you know that there are some frequencies that the human eye cannot see in, yet you talk like science is the absolute.

Let me tell you, there is no scientific discovery that was conventional.

Infact, on your way to making a scientific discovery, your only guide is FAITH.

Doubt me? Go and enroll in a doctorate program in any scientific field.
