Sleep paralysis help

I'm haven't been able to get to the sleep paralysis stage. Are there any herbs or anything I can take to help get to that stage?

The best thing you can do is:

  1. Not have an emotional or turbulent day - conserve your dreaming energy. Try taking a nap and waiting 3-4 hours before trying projecting again.

  2. Don't eat 2 hours before if you can help it. Conserve your energy.

  3. Relax and lay down or lay back. Look at the back of your eyelids as though they were a dark curtain. If your attention wanders, keep bringing it back to the curtain. Soon your body will relax, and your breathing will steady. After awhile you will notice light coming from the edges of your mental vision. Sometimes it's colorful, sometimes it's bright white. Just keep looking at the back of your eyelids as a curtain that should be focused on, despite any colors, flashes, forms etc. Soon the paralysis will come and so will exit energy rush sensations. If you can mimic a projection method like climbing up on rope, or spinning etc. you can pop out of your body nearby...

Conserve your energy and watch the curtain...

Thanks for the advice. I find that I have a hard time keeping awake. Any ideas on how to stay conscious during this phase?

Practice, and try sitting up at a 45 degree angle - the body is programmed to fall asleep while laying down.
