Sleep Paralysis| Tips

How to handle your next sleep paralysis episode:

1. Remember: Sleep paralysis is spiritual warfare.
2. Always resist going back to sleep or giving up on waking at that moment.
3. Focus on moving your head forward and your back upward–push against it.
4. Pray and speak against the entity that is showing a hand of force over you- this is regardless of if you hear or see things in the process.
5. Keep your eyes as open as you can get them and pray against continuously.
6. When you are awake, pray over your home and ask God for his protection and covering in life and as you sleep, which is when you are the most vulnerable.
7. Keep the Bible near your bed.
8. Once you are awake, play gospel/holy music AS you go back to sleep again; this ALWAYS works for me. I sleep soundly without a hitch.
9. If, right before you are starting to fall sleep, you feel that force, wake yourself up before you get too deep and pray against it, praise God, and play gospel music before sleeping.
10. Take note of when it happens to you, what happened during the day including things you may watched or listened to that day), the people you interacted with throughout your day, your own mood throughout the day, and the general energy that was around you or in your home. Take note of the time when this happens to you too —-2 am, 5 am, 11 pm, randomly etc. This will help you identify what may be a open door or trigger to such things.
11. Give yourself time to meditate, strengthen yourself, and rest in God’s love, grace, and peace at least 3-4 times a week-–how ever long is comfortable to you.
12. Do not give into fear OR PANIC! This is VERY important; one of the things that satan feeds off of is our fear. Remember: 2 Timothy 1:7; Internalize verses that speak to your strength and faith in God. Philippians 4:13. Do not memorize any verse––INTERNALIZE THEM.
