The major cause of sleep paralysis is stress. During sleep paralysis, your brain is awake but your body isn't. Give your body enough rest.

Depends on how you define natural and spiritual. Man is first a Spirit being. So what things you may define as spiritual may actually be his natural habitat. For this case, sleep paralysis is a product of soul travels. Your frequent experience of it is a sign that you have an heightened level of heart vibrations and the Spirit you is calling for deeper engagements.

Practice study of the word and engage in deep meditations in the Spirit. With this, your soul will be exercised and you can decide when or not to have soul travels.

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

What do you think?

OP let me tell you what happens in a state of sleep paralysis, like someone said it's your brain awake but your body isn't and that's correct but it's not the complete picture.

This past Wednesday, as the Lord God is my witness, I had finished meditating and was falling into that half awake/half asleep state but my eyes were open and I saw a spirit come straight into my room. It had a face of lighting, came with a fast force and I noticed before it climbed upon me I hadn't started experiencing the sleep paralysis but immediately after it climbed on me, my body couldn't move. I said the Lord's name and it stayed at the foot of my bed then left.

I saw the spirit very well before it left , it's attributes were a face and countenance of lighting, forceful, strong , fast and intelligent too and the funny part is all this happened in less than a second and I became fully awake.

My guess is the spirit of paralysis usually try to possess the individual. I believe in science 100%, and science usually has an explanation for things we understand or may not understand but don't even doubt sleep paralysis is a spiritual thing.

The signs are there whenever it happens, and these are the signs, lingering fear, feeling of being watched by a malevolent being, feeling of being choked or oppressed and when the paralysis is gone there's a feeling of relief, these signs are consistent with the things someone who comes to steal, kill and destroy will do.

I have said this little experience because of Mathew 10:27 my advice I can give is to always pray in tongues and my conclusion is that it's a spiritual thing.

P.S :- The reason why your voice goes either in dreams or paralysis is because they don't want you to shout the name of the Lord, there's a scientific explanation for that too but John 8:32 says it best.

sylve11:
Sleep Paralysis is A temporary inability to move or speak while falling asleep or upon waking.
Sleep paralysis most often occurs in people who have narcolepsy or sleep apnoea, but it can affect anyone.
Episodes involve not being able to speak or move while falling asleep or upon waking. This usually lasts one or two minutes and is often frightening.
The main treatment is improved sleep habits (sleep hygiene) including going to bed at the same time every night, ensuring a comfortable sleep environment free of distractions and avoiding caffeine before sleeping. cool

I guarantee you. Just say' I hand over my spirit soul and body to you Jesus' before you sleep and you won't experience this again. People may bash me but I am telling you this out of experience. Don't wait until the paralysis starts before you start struggling to say what I told you.

@OP do you sleep directly under the ceiling fan? If yes, do you usually leave the fan on on high speed?

If you answer yes to the 2 questions above, I will suggest you start sleeping without your fan on for 1 to 2 months and observe if you still have the same sleep paralysis

Alot of people have sense but don’t think, what causes sleep paralysis is simply when you don’t close your eyes fully while you sleep, the little part of the pupils will be out, it’s like closing your eyes half and sleeping at the same time, sleep paralysis usually happen in the day or at night when the lights on. There was a day I experienced it and my brother woke me up and he told me that I didn’t close my eyes well while sleeping and a little part of my pupils were out. So the fact that your pupils are out goes to the brain and makes the brain think your eyes are open but your body itself is asleep so there’s not nothing about sleep paralysis being spiritual. The best way not to experience it is to always use an eyes cover while you sleep and if you sleep while facing upwards it’s likely for your eyes to be opened if you don’t use an eyes cover.

It happens mostly when you deprive yourself of sleep as in during vigil.
Very natural!

Maybe there is natural sleep paralysis, medical experts should tell us.

But when you're pinned down by one Incubus, you should know it's spiritual. By the time you realise its effects on your life, it might be too late.

Just check it out and be sure about what you are dealing with.

I believe this just a natural phenomenon, has happened to me quite alot.. I've recently been able to control myself in other not to panic when it happens...from my observation it stays longer when you panic and try moving any part of your body or try to make a sound

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?

It's a normal occurrence. There's nothing spiritual about it. I experienced it a couple of times before so I researched it.

What happens is that when you fall asleep, your brain sends a signal that deactivates your motor skills like moving talking etc... This is done so that you can rest properly and not be moving around while sleeping or acting out the activities in your dream... Also to avoid hurting yourself or others.

Now, when you are about to wake up, the brain sends another signal to activate your motor skills so you can start moving moveable parts of your body.

Sleep paralysis happens when there's a delay in this signal reaching it's destination... So, your brain will be awake but the signal to activate your motor skills is delayed, causing you to panic...

Next time, don't fight it... Just try to relax knowing that you know what is happening... Also, try to practice conscious dreaming so that you can have some control and understand of what's happening both in your dream state and half awake/sleep paralysis state
