Since u moved to a new place are the spritual things bound to the laws of the natural laws....
I mean location shouldn't be a problem for them

Who knows, maybe we can research it na. i stayed a while with them over there too. Maybe they got tired or my blood was not nutritious enough. Only you educated people know these things. What do we know more than Bible? Hope you are not experiencing sleep paralysis too or it's also your hobby?

IF NA SPIRITUAL, I GO TELL U SAY, BEFORE I WAS BORN INTO THE WORLD, I WAS ALREADY BORN OF THE SPIRIT.

SO I CANNOT FEAR ANY SPIRIT.


WEN I DIE, ME SEF BE SPIRIT.


SO, IT IS LIKE SAYING AM AFRAID OF HUMAN BEINGS, NOW THAT I AM ALSO HUMAN OR AFTER.


IT JUST DOES NOT ADD UP.


BUT AFRICANS FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE SPIRITUAL HAVE RULES AND THE PHYSICAL HAVE RULES.

It may be natural but at times it could be attributed to the metaphysical and supernatural realm. Some days back,I had a nightmare..I saw my image but with a face distorted with an evil smile staring at me. I couldn't move nor talk for almost a minute..it was a near-death experience..This is the worst sleep paralysis I've ever witnessed. I'm saying the damn truth. I noticed sleep paralysis occurs when I don't say my prayers B4 going to bed.

I don't also have any anxiety over it anymore but just that this morning own was just too real and somehow..
Guy you just experience witchcraft attack, you better pray very well and stop listening to this kids that knows nothing. There is difderent between sleep paralysis snd witchcraft attack. Sleep paralysis wont hold you for that long and make you struggle , to the extent you tried shouting and you can be heard.

I hope the OP doesn’t listen to your kinds because what you’ll care about while dishing out your opinion is the number of likes it gets and nothing else..

I hope he actually takes his spiritual life seriously!

As a little boy I was very prayerful and up till my teenage I kept my Christian fire burning. I sang gospel songs , prayed and gave the little I had in church.
During my late teenage I started developing doubts about organized religion. Immediately I crossed into the second decade of my sojourn in this planet , I became completely irreligious.

While I was very religious, I experienced sleep paralysis on several occasions and during such instances all I'd do is try to scream "Jesus" and it would take time before I gain consciousness .

Since I became irreligious I have experienced it twice. On both occasions I just opened my eyes and closed them again , enjoyed my peaceful sleep and woke up fresh in the morning knowing it was natural.

Since I got addicted to masturbation because of my access to expensive and premium pornography which is linked to stress reduction, I haven't experienced sleep paralysis again. Note that there's nothing wrong with my finances , I get better paying contracts and perform greatly at work during weeks I dedicate to masturbation.

I think sleep paralysis is natural and has to do with stress. I'm still waiting for someone who experienced sleep paralysis after good sex or masturbation which are both known to relief stress.

Bro.. There's some truth to what you said, I'm science-inclined too but this was some sort of spiritual attack. I saw myself spinning with my hands stiff,legs bent in a disturbing manner and my throat clogged then I saw an image exactly like mine putting on a black vest with a sinister grin. It was an experience to forget..

Sleep on your right hand, recite your night supplications.
If you experience sleeping paralysis, don't struggle, just recite Ayatul Qursiyyu. Immediately you will fell relief.

Those that sleeps every night without experiencing this thing are very lucky beings.

Going through a lot right now, delays and all that, hope am gonna be completely saved and fulfilled reasons me being here on this planet

Thanks y'all for your comments and suggestions though, thank you
Please don’t listen to all these kids calling it natural, there’s nothing natural about what you’re going through.. you have to re-evaluate your entire life, get closer to God and pray yourself out of this because that’s the way out!
I wish you all the best!

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 think some sleep paralysis are normal while some are spiritual. When I was a child, I use to have normal ones, just feeling trapped. But as I grew up story change. I have been strangled inthe process, even my balls have been squeezed while I struggled with the beens. I remember 2011 in school, I was held on both legs and hands and I tried pinching d skin of those holding me and it felt like human flesh. They just held only my hands and leg then a strange creature flew ontop my right hand and bite me but no pain. If I start recounting my encounters you go hail. Sometimes self they will bite me on my fist while struggling and I will feel the pains. Twice they tried forcing something sharp into my ass and it was painful. I thought it was dick but it was sharp and I dragged till I woke up. My own self weda I lie on my back or not when it wants to happen it still happens. I use to believe those scientist b4 but not any longer since my own experiences have never been explained by them. I used to pray it stops after awihle it happens again. So I just accepted it like that Butnotice since I got married it has stopped. Can't really explain. This world is really deep

Chai my God see the useless and baseless explanation science has given to this very bizarre phenomenon, completely nonsense, brother forget all these explanations,white men have misled lots of souls into damnation thinking they know it all in this world, but a simple corona virus they cannot solve, sleep paralysis is a very lethal demonic attack some people die from it..
Kalatium:
Its natural not spiritual

Sleep researchers conclude that, in most cases, sleep paralysis is simply a sign that your body is not moving smoothly through the stages of sleep . Rarely is sleep paralysis linked to deep underlying psychiatric problems.

Over the centuries, symptoms of sleep paralysis have been described in many ways and often attributed to an "evil" presence: unseen night demons in ancient times, the old hag in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet , and alien abductors. Almost every culture throughout history has had stories of shadowy evil creatures that terrify helpless humans at night.

People have long sought explanations for this mysterious sleep -time paralysis and the accompanying feelings of terror.

However, Sleep paralysis is a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. It occurs when a person passes between stages of wakefulness and sleep.

During these transitions, you may be unable to move or speak for a few seconds up to a few minutes. Some people may also feel pressure or a sense of choking.

Sleep paralysis may accompany other sleep disorders such as narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is an overpowering need to sleep caused by a problem with the brain's ability to regulate sleep.

As you can see it is a natural phenomena

KingAzubuike:
There's nothing spiritual about sleep paralysis. There's nothing like juju or jazz... There's nothing like demons. These are all myths, they are folktales

As for sleep paralysis, during the deepest phase of sleep which is REM, a neurotransmitter called glycine is released limit the body's motor function and render muscles immobile.

As for the sensation of something sitting on your chest which y'all tag as demons, that’s usually because of the way breathing is regulated in REM sleep. Because the neurotransmitter has been limiting your diaphragm to rhythmic, shallow breaths, you might feel like you can’t breathe deeply... laboured breathing which may seem as though something is pressing down and keeping your lungs from filling up with air. Unfortunately all these church people will say it's demons sitting on your chest.

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.
