What is sleep paralysis? Six causes of sleep paralysis

Today I will introduce to you the six causes of sleep paralysis. If you don’t know yet, please take the time to read it with me.

What is sleep paralysis?

Sleep paralysis, also known as body paralysis, means that a person is conscious but cannot move his body while sleeping. He feels like something is pressing on his body, making it hard to breathe in the hazy state. He feels like he is neither awake nor asleep. He wants to move but cannot, and he wants to shout but cannot.

1. Wutongshen is actually sleep paralysis

Wutongshen, also known as Wulangshen and Wuchangshen. It is a general term for monsters and lonely ghosts that roam the countryside and like to rape other people's wives and women. It does not refer to a specific type of ghost or god. Usually five statues are made to offer blood and food, known as the "Wutong". They are worshipped by many people and are said to have the power of the god of wealth. Legend has it that the Wutong God can rape other people's wives and daughters, and the victims cannot move. This is very similar to the symptoms of sleep paralysis. Wutongshen should be a demon from the Jiangnan area back then, but it is gone now. Worshiping the Five Gods is considered lewd. Lewd sacrifices will bring no wealth but disaster. Even if wealth comes temporarily, the reward will be a thousandfold in the future.

2. Metaphysical Analysis

From the perspective of metaphysics: First, if the Feng Shui Five Ghosts Position is the Five Ghosts Position, if you stay in the Five Ghosts Position, or if you place your bed in the Five Ghosts Position, it is very easy to get sleep paralysis. Secondly, in the fate of emptiness, emptiness will reflect a person’s actual state. Empty means nothing, which indicates that there is no connection with relatives; dead means the dead soul, which indicates that there is a connection with the dead souls of relatives. People with strong Yang energy generally do not suffer from ghost possession, but people with strong Yin energy and weak Bazi are very likely to suffer from ghost possession.

3. The enemy's creditor's ghost presses on the bed

There is a kind of sleep paralysis caused by your enemies or creditors coming to oppress you. You will not forget what you dreamed about before you were sleep paralyzed, and you will not forget it after you are sleep paralyzed. Pay off your debts as soon as possible. The best way to pay off your debts is to be a good person and do good deeds, and silently think about the good deeds you have done for your creditor. When he is relieved, you will also have good deeds.

4. Most sleep paralysis is caused by weak heart fire.

If you are sleep paralysis, don't rush to believe the words of those so-called masters who say you have seen a ghost. There are four characteristics of sleep paralysis caused by a ghost. First, you will see shadows, second, you will smell something strange, third, you will get sick soon, and fourth, you must have been to some unclean place. If you don’t have these four symptoms, please don’t think that you are suffering from sleep paralysis; it’s just a sleep disorder.

5. From a medical perspective

In fact, "sleep paralysis" is just "sleep paralysis" to doctors. The probability of this disease occurring is very high. According to statistics, almost one in two people has experienced sleep paralysis. The main cause of the disease is either being too tired or too excited, or having too many worries, which makes one very anxious. As a result, the brain is overburdened, causing it to malfunction when coordinating with the muscles and fail to wake up the muscles.

6. Four taboos of bedside Feng Shui that may easily cause sleep paralysis

1. The bedroom is a private space that belongs to you and requires a high level of privacy. Therefore, if the head of the bed faces the bedroom door, not only will the privacy be poor, but the head of the bed facing the front door will induce the occupants to indulge in lust.

2. It is a habit of many people to put a mirror at the head of the bed, because when they get up, they can pick up the mirror to check their appearance. In fact, according to Feng Shui, it is not suitable to put a mirror at the head of the bed, because it is easy to directly shine on the head of the bed, and easily reflect the evil spirits outside directly to your head, which can easily reduce your sleep quality, such as sometimes having nightmares.

3. Some people like to collect antiques and even integrate them into their daily lives. In fact, in Feng Shui, antiques are things with very heavy negative energy. This is because many antiques have experienced wars and are stained with the blood of countless people. Moreover, many antiques are burial objects, which are not very auspicious in themselves. If placed on the head of the bed, all kinds of negative energy will affect your fortune.

4. There is a bathroom on the wall behind the bed. This layout is relatively rare, but it can be encountered. Especially if the head of the bed is facing the toilet, that’s even worse!

So what should we do when we are suffering from sleep paralysis? Master Puxuan will tell you the 6 most useful solutions to sleep paralysis!

1. Seek courage from faith

For many people, finding spiritual sustenance lies in religion. When you encounter a situation, you can associate it with peace, security, and love, or even religious icons.

2. Self-suggestion

When you feel sleep paralysis, you can relax first and tell yourself "This is sleep paralysis, it's okay." This may help you wake up directly.

3. Biting the tip of your tongue

The scientific explanation for biting the tip of the tongue is that the tip of the tongue is at the nerve endings, and is very sensitive to external stimuli. It goes directly to the brain, and the pain at the tip of the tongue is transmitted directly to the brain, stimulating it and making it awake, thus getting rid of the paralysis. From a metaphysical perspective, the blood at the tip of the tongue is the purest and most yang, it is true yang saliva, and the tip of the tongue is the place where yang energy is most abundant in the human body. The essence and blood at the tip of the tongue can suppress all evil. In short, if you are experiencing sleep paralysis, bite the tip of your tongue to stimulate your brain and you will wake up. If that doesn't work, bite the tip of your tongue and spit out the blood from the tip of your tongue. If that still doesn't work, you can only hope for the best, as you may have encountered a big monster.

4. Focus on your breathing

Because breathing is affected by internal organs such as the heart, it will not be paralyzed like the muscles of your arms, chest, and legs. Therefore, if you can control your breathing well, you will be able to control your fear well.

5. Seek help from your sleep partner

If you have someone sleeping with you, you can tell them what it's like when you experience sleep paralysis. For example, the author once told his wife to wake him up if she saw his breathing become heavy and uneven.

6. Don’t resist

When you feel yourself being held down and unable to move while you are sleeping, do not resist. Otherwise it might exacerbate the experience.
