My daughter feels someone's presence at home. Presence effect: Where do "ghosts" come from? Why do I feel someone's presence
If you feel the presence of something outsider in the house, but you cannot give a clear explanation for this, you should not rush to conclusions yet. The emergence of fear in the event of a collision with the other world is a natural reaction. And, as they say, fear has big eyes. Therefore, the first thing to do here is to take a sober look at the situation and figure out what kind of spirit it is and what its intentions are.
If you own any predictive tool such as Runes, Tarot or shamanic stones, then you should make the appropriate layouts for the nature and intention of the forces present in the house. If you do not have such an opportunity, then it is better to contact a specialist for help.
It happens that recently deceased relatives appear this way. They probably want to convey some information to you, or their soul cannot rest. In this case, it does not hurt to order a prayer service for the repose of the soul. In addition, if you are calm about spirits, then at the moment you feel their presence, ask them to appear in your dream to tell you about the reason for your arrival.
If this is how the brownie manifests itself, then it is worth feeding it. To do this, you need to designate a separate place in the kitchen. In my kitchen there is a special house for the brownie, in which I bring him food so that he protects my home. You can use sweets, milk, bread, vodka, porridge, etc. to feed the brownie. Falling food from your hands can be a direct sign that the brownie wants food. At the same time, it is better to give the type of food that you dropped, for example, if bread fell on you, then it is bread that you need to give. But do not limit yourself to this delicacy. If you feed the brownie with homemade food, then after a day (or later) it can be taken out to the birds or given to animals.
If this is how an evil spirit manifests itself, haunting everyone who lives in the house, then it should be expelled. To do this, it is better to contact a specialist who has experience in this. I strongly do not recommend a novice in magic to openly quarrel with such a spirit.
To prevent harmful spirits from starting, the house must be regularly cleaned and protected.
Mirror protection
Mirrors are portals to the other world, which can be inhabited by evil spirits. This is especially true for old mirrors. Therefore, if possible, do not keep old mirrors in the house, and even more so - purchased antiques or broken mirrors.
It is not necessary to position the mirror so that sleeping people are reflected in it, because. entities in a dream can be lodged through it.
For the same reason, after a person has died, all the mirrors in the house of the deceased are hung with a thick cloth. So that the soul does not get stuck in the mirror world, causing torment to others and to itself.
In order to protect the mirror, it is enough to apply protective symbols that you know on the reverse side. The simplest and most accessible is an equilateral cross. In my work, I often put either the symbol of the sun or the runic helmet of horror.
Good afternoon! I don’t know if you will see this message, because I don’t know if the topic is closed or not. On the face signs of damage. Not on the house itself and not on the place where it stands. And on the owners of the house themselves. There is a possibility that a love spell was made (you wrote about a neighbor), why would she just do damage to her neighbors? So there was a reason. Either a scandal and a dispute between neighbors (your parents and a neighbor's family) or views on your late dad. It can be argued that it was even a dryer .. but according to no experience, the ritual was carried out incorrectly. it gave this result. hair, needles, threads .. this is exactly the attributes of black magic, the so-called mummy. Skin, nails, hair, blood is all that is included in the ritual actions for love spells and also lapels and damage. If we take serious damage as an example, then as a rule this is done according to the voodoo (doll) scheme, the so-called division. For serious damage to health, money and luck, usually through the ground, money, they usually bury it all in the ground or throw it under the threshold. Also, insoles under the porch in different directions, lingerie under the porch or in the house. needles in clothes, threads, as a rule, black, stitched handkerchiefs are white, a lot of things can be listed. Your dad died precisely from the result of all this, that is, he drank himself naturally .. mom also drinks and I don’t know if she is still alive with you, I hope so. It was necessary to shoot all this even when it all began. Now your dad is not alive and this complicates everything. If mom is alive .. then .. bring her to her senses .. take her to church for service. she'd better take communion. Order her service for the health of "sorokoust" in 3 churches or monasteries. These are very effective prayer rites. And also for all members of your family. Before ordering in 3 temples, it is better to fast, read prayers, go to the temple, it will also be effective to confess. Then the effect of magpie on health will be even stronger. If there is no mother ... then order the liturgy of washing the deceased for 40 days and give an offering in the temple. If you still live in this house, inviting the priest to bless the house is not only for reasons of fighting evil spirits, but also to rid the house of the accumulated negativity over many years. Burn candles at home. Buy icons of Seraphim of Sarov, the Savior and the icon of Matrona. Wash the house with 3 spring waters. If there are old mirrors in the house that were before everything that happened and after, then it is better to break them into fabrics - so that you would not be reflected in the fragments and bury them as far as possible from the house into the ground along with the fabric. If there is a cellar in the house, stick a knife into the very bottom of the foundation logs. And say, With this knife, I destroy all evil in this house. do not pull out the knife. go around the whole house clockwise with a candle. Read Psalm 90 - living in help. Sprinkle all corners with holy water. It is better to throw out the old furniture that is in the house from getting rid of the energy of illness (alco-dependence) and death accumulated in it. Plant a spruce in the garden or in the garden. This is a strong guardian tree generic. If all this does not help after the expiration of time, you will not feel relief, only then turn to people who can help. But I would like to warn you, you will have to pay for going to the grandmother and the fortune teller, which is difficult to say, as a rule, health and money, real people don’t take money with a gift, they can ask for food and help around the house. better not to ask and just leave the food. In the worst case, if you do not find it, it is better to change your place of residence. it is better to do this, of course, without leading to a trip to the grandmother. That's all I can advise you. Black magic is not included in the category of my abilities. Health to you and good!
“During my first Himalayan expedition,” writes Lincoln Hall, author of Terribly Lucky, “my partner and I were descending from the summit when we got into a snowstorm. blizzard to our camp, but as soon as we entered the camp, we said the same phrase at the same time: "I felt that there were three of us there."
This phenomenon is called differently - the syndrome of the third person, the factor of the third, and the like, although it may not be the third, but the second, or, say, the fourth, fifth. We are talking about cases when people feel the presence of someone (visible or invisible), who - logically - in a given place and at a given moment cannot be in any way!
Good advice.
Vincent Lam, a resuscitator from Canada, had this happen in... a shower stall. However, today he is a well-known doctor who worked in the Arctic and Antarctic, the author of books and the winner of the prestigious Giller Literary Prize. And then a young guy of Chinese origin, who grew up in Ottawa, was eager to enter the military medical school in Toronto. And he understood that his whole future fate depended on the result of the exams. Vincent spent several weeks studying textbooks. "It was a colossal strain," he recalls. "I had no idea what would happen if I didn't do it."
And then one evening, standing in the shower, he suddenly felt someone's presence. He did not see anyone, but clearly felt someone's presence. “I was aware that some words were being said to me, they were giving advice,” Lam continues his story. “This invisible person encouraged me, his advice was practical: how to prepare better, how to fully reveal this or that topic.”
The sense of presence lasted for about half an hour, and after that Lam entered all the advice he received into his computer. Then he went to bed, and it was the first quiet night in a long time of preparation ...
Later, when Lam looked for those notes on the computer, he didn't find anything! "It's weird," he says. "I remember very well that I saved those files."
Lam, who wrote the foreword to John Geiger's just-released book The Third Man Syndrome, says "it was a kind of spiritual support from above. Now it seems strange, but then it seemed completely normal." However, despite the fact that Lam and then more than once got into tense life situations, he never experienced anything like that.
Phantom Crew.
“We often think of life as something empirical, measurable,” John Geiger writes in his book. “This phenomenon reminds me that there are many important things in human experience that have nothing to do with the purely material world. We are talking about things that which a person only feels. For example, encounters with creatures that save us in a critical situation are more common than we think. "
One of the "textbook" examples is associated with the name of Charles Lindbergh. During the first ever non-stop flight across the Atlantic in 1927, the brave pilot suddenly felt that someone was "leading" him. For the first time, such a sensation appeared after he had spent 22 hours in the air. Flying alone very low over the ocean, struggling to stay awake. And suddenly he began to realize the presence of someone else on board, and not one, but several! He seemed to have a whole crew of benevolent "phantoms" ready to help. They encouraged the pilot in every possible way, actively discussed navigational problems and stayed with him until the Irish coast appeared below: then Lindbergh realized that Paris was already within easy reach!
Incident in the mountains.
And here is another example. An avalanche in the Rocky Mountains of Canada swept away climber James Sevigny like a blade of grass and dragged him down 600 meters, breaking the unfortunate spine, shoulder blade, arm, nose, knocking out teeth and tearing ligaments in both knees. When he woke up, he saw that his partner was dead. James also prepared to die. But some invisible creature suddenly began to convince him that he must survive, and for this he must ... Following the instructions of the invisible, James crawled to the camp. And all this time with him there was a feeling of someone's presence ...
American tragedy
On September 11, 2001, stockbroker Ron Di.Francesco, choking on smoke in the stairwell of the south tower of the World Trade Center, fell to the concrete floor where other unfortunates lay, some already unconscious. "Get up!" - suddenly ordered the voice of the invisible, and Di Francesco, feeling someone's powerful support, began to descend the stairs, but was again blocked by fire. An invisible being made him literally rush through the flames. He rushed down and ran out of the building at the moment when it began to collapse. He survived - one of the four who at the time of the attack was above the 81st floor.
Not a single evil being!
Everyone finds his own explanation for this phenomenon. But whatever it may be, in different episodes different people experience something similar - the feeling of the presence of someone who encourages, gives advice and even leads out of the danger zone.
"In every case I've been able to find out, it's been a benevolent, helpful companion. And not a single malevolent being!" John Geiger says He found over 100 such cases, including the examples described above. “We are talking about people who find themselves between life and death, and often this is somewhere far from civilization,” says Geiger. “Examples include an American astronaut on the Mir space station, an Israeli soldier who was tortured, an Austrian mountaineer on a Himalayas..."
Most of those who have experienced this syndrome can only say what gender this creature was, but nothing more specific. And there are those who identify the savior as a deceased relative, friend, or even Jesus Christ.
The phenomenon became known as the Third Man Syndrome, Geiger explains, because that is how the eminent poet and 1948 Nobel laureate Thomas S. Eliot referred to it in his poem The Waste Land. Highly spiritual or religious people, regardless of what faith they profess, believe that they were helped by divine providence, while
how agnostics see this phenomenon as a protective function of the brain. Men of science have long been trying to figure out exactly how the human mind could conjure up a third person. “Opinions on this matter differ,” says Geiger, “there is no single explanation. Some psychologists believe that in the event of stress, the left logical hemisphere, usually dominant, partially loses its control over the mind, which refuses to believe in the terrible reality of what is happening, and then intervenes the more emotional and optimistic right hemisphere of the brain, and yet it is capable of imaginative thinking, fantasy... So "angels-saviors" appear.
Biochemistry or kind angel?
Another theory suggests that the "third person" is a product of biochemical reactions taking place in the body. The body reacts to stress by releasing an excess amount of adrenaline into the blood, and in the moment of danger, certain chemical reactions occur in the brain, as if dissolving the shutter of skepticism and “letting in” the image of a savior into the mind, that is, helping us to survive.
But why does someone feel a wise helper, and someone does not?
"Psychological variables can come into play here," says Geiger. that feel the presence of the deceased "half".
Whether the "third person" is a kind angel, a compassionate ghost, or just a manifestation of a physiological survival mechanism, everyone decides for himself. “Personally, I can’t solve this riddle,” says Geiger. “But it raises some very important and deep questions ...”
Imagine: you wake up and you can't even move a finger. The room is dark, but you feel an ominous presence - someone is standing next to the bed, or maybe sitting right on your chest, preventing you from breathing. You want to turn your head at least a little to see it, but nothing happens, someone (something?) is holding you back, while eye movement is preserved, you try to move your limbs, but in vain - you can neither move nor to speak (since it is impossible to open your mouth), you seem to be frozen, there is a feeling that you are suffocating due to the fact that someone is standing on your chest. Horror and panic seize you ... The picture may seem incredible, but many people have had a similar experience. If you have experienced something similar, then you are familiar with the unforgettable horrors of sleep paralysis, or the “old witch syndrome”. What is sleep paralysis?
sleep paralysis is the inability to move. In the vast majority of cases, it occurs either at the time of falling asleep, or immediately after waking up, which is why it is called "sleepy".
Symptoms. Sleep paralysis is characterized by the complete awareness of a person and at the same time the absolute impossibility of moving. Usually this condition is accompanied by a strong sense of horror and panic, as well as fear of death, suffocation, stiffness of all movements, a feeling of something extraneous, heavy on the body (often on the throat and chest, sometimes on the legs).
Often, sleep paralysis can be accompanied by visual, auditory, and even tactile (i.e., physically felt) hallucinations. A person can hear footsteps, see dark figures hanging over him or standing next to him, feel touches. Often there is a feeling that someone has climbed onto the chest and is strangling the sleeping person.
It has been observed that sleep paralysis can occur only upon natural awakening, and never upon awakening from an alarm clock or other stimuli. It is believed that between 40% and 60% of people have experienced sleep paralysis at least once in their lives. The most risky period of life is from 10 to 25 years. It is at this age that the majority of cases have been reported.
Causes of sleep paralysis
"Sleep paralysis" has been known for a long time, and its symptoms were already described centuries ago. Previously, this phenomenon was associated with brownies, demons, witches, etc.
So, in the Russian folk tradition, this phenomenon is associated with brownie, which, according to popular belief, jumps on a person’s chest in order to warn either about good or bad.
In Islam it is ifrit- one of the evil genies, is considered a servant of Satan, who can seriously harm people.
In Chuvash mythology, this is evil spirit Vubar , which appears at night and, taking the form of domestic animals, a fiery serpent or a person, leans on sleeping people, causing suffocation and nightmares. According to myths, by attacking sleeping people, wobars thereby improve their health. A sleeping person can not move and say anything.
In Basque mythology, there is also a separate character for this phenomenon - Inguma, appearing at night in houses during sleep and squeezing the throat of one of the sleepers, making it difficult to breathe and thereby causing horror.
In Japanese mythology, it is believed that giant demon Kanashibari puts his foot on the chest of a sleeping person.
In our time, they often try to explain this phenomenon by the visits of aliens from other worlds, who paralyze the will of a person with the aim of kidnapping.
Explanation of modern scientists
Modern scientists believe that sleep paralysis is an unremarkable biological event that nature intended.
The most common explanation by psychoanalysts is muscular paralysis , which is a natural state for our body during the phase of REM sleep, when our subconscious deliberately paralyzes the muscles of the body so that you, while watching an active dream, do not perform any actions in reality and do not harm yourself. Sleep paralysis occurs when the mind is already awake, but the body is not yet.
By the way, in one psychoanalytic journal they gave the following explanation: “Sleep paralysis is caused by the fact that a person has already woken up, and a certain hormone (which is released during sleep and is responsible for paralyzing the muscles) has not yet had time to leave the body.” However, there is a discrepancy with this version - if it's all about the hormone, why does sleep paralysis never happen with forced awakening? The hormone gets scared and instantly self-destructs?
Esoteric explanations
Another point of view is related to psychic practices out-of-body experience and astral travel . It is believed that sleep paralysis is an indicator that a person's consciousness is on the border between the real and astral worlds. Some even manage to use sleep paralysis to "out of the body." They explain this phenomenon by the fact that the consciousness of a person is not in the physical, but in the astral body, but due to weak energy, or lack of understanding of the principles of movement in the astral world, a person cannot move. This point of view can partially explain the "hallucinations" in sleep paralysis. According to astral travelers, the astral world is filled with various entities.
What to do?
However, whatever the real causes of sleep paralysis, if you have such attacks and you do not care about medical or esoteric research - pray. This method works, especially if the person's faith is strong.
People about their encounter with the "sleep paralysis demon"
1. "Something whispered in my ear."
I had never experienced such a phenomenon before, and the first time it happened, I was lying on my left side and suddenly felt a strong pressure in the chest area. When I realized that I couldn't move, I panicked. At that moment, something whispered in my ear: "Just came by to say goodnight to you". Then I felt something pull me to the edge of the bed. Shit, this is really scary.
2. Cats, penguins and a shadow man, oh my god!
I have experienced sleep paralysis three times in my life.
At dusk, I saw a dark creature, like a cat, which first sat at my feet, and then slowly began to crawl along the sheet until it was on my chest. I was overcome with fear.
The second time I saw the shadow of a man walk across the room, slip through the open door and disappear. This is the scariest thing I have ever experienced in my life.
And the last time was the best. I saw a couple of bizarre penguins walking around my bedroom. A funny and funny show.
3. I felt my whole body turn to stone, then the bed was creased, as if someone had sat at my feet.
A few years ago, my relative died, I still had very bad communication with her before her death, and on the night when she was 40 days old (I was alone in the country house and lived in an annex), I was afraid to sleep, so I read a book until 3 am, and then she lay down with the light, turning her face to the wall .. I was lying, and suddenly I heard steps, and something confused me in them, and I understand that they were heard immediately by the bed, although from the entrance to the annex to the bed it was 6 meters to go .. I felt how my whole body turned to stone, then the bed shook, as if someone had sat down at my feet, and then the heaviness began to spread over my body, as if someone was lying down along me, and tried to look into my face. I tried to close my eyes, but I couldn’t, I couldn’t scream, I tried to cross my fingers.... My heart was pounding like crazy... Then suddenly the heaviness subsided, the bed took its former position, again footsteps by the bed, silence. I jumped up and ran out in what I was, ran to the neighboring house, woke everyone up there and sat until the morning ... Then I immediately left for Moscow, because I could not bear another such night ... Then I thought it over, read about similar cases - presumably it was sleep paralysis, and the brain just recreated it all ... Although who knows ... Now a lot of time has passed, but goosebumps still run from these memories ...
4. "During sleep paralysis, I see demons and a guardian angel."
When I fall into a state of sleep paralysis, demons and a guardian angel come to me. The former are usually ghostly figures standing above me or at my bedroom door. Once I was lying on my side with my back to the door, when I suddenly felt that someone lay down on the bed next to me, crawled under the covers and put his hand on my waist. Then I felt a tight hug and hot breath on my neck. This went on for about half an hour. All this time, I tried not to show my fear, which is very difficult, especially if it seems that a skeleton with claws is hugging you from behind. The last time this happened again, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Someone came very close to me, kissed me behind the ear and whispered: “No, it's not time yet. I'll be back when you're ready". It didn't sound very comforting, as if I was going to die soon. I was very scared.
Sleep paralysis recurred with me from time to time for 18 months, so I could easily determine the moment of its onset. At that time, at first I thought that there was an ordinary demon standing near my bed that had come to me before, but I was wrong. I looked and distinctly saw a man kneeling next to my bed. There was a smile on his face, but not one that made you shudder. He was wearing a 50s-style suit and a hat. He didn't say a single word. I got the feeling that he came to tell me that everything is fine and that he is protecting me.
5. It was the best moment of her life
My mother once told me that when she was little, either in a dream or in reality, two men in white and gold suits appeared to her, who sat on the bed at her feet and played musical instruments. Mom was so easy and fun that she did not want them to leave. But when she moved her head, she heard one man say to another: “She is waking up. It is time". And they disappeared.
6. Lots of terrible things.
Before I knew how to deal with it, I experienced quite a few really terrible things. Horror films are now nothing to me compared to what I had to face. Here are a few things I can never forget:
In the corner of my room stood a little girl, staring at me. Then she suddenly screamed piercingly, ran up to me and began to choke me.
A large dark figure resembling a human silhouette stood silently beside my bed, looking down at me.
Something rumbled and screeched right outside my bedroom door. I always lock it up at night after it opens on its own. Note: No, when I wake up, the door is closed. It only opens in dreams.
The door of my bedroom was flung open, and dark figures entered the room.
The last time I saw my mother come into the room, sit on my bed and immediately turn into a demon.
And many others.
The worst thing is that when you try to fight it or call someone for help, you lose your voice, and your body stops listening. You just feel helpless. Ugh, I don't even want to remember. It becomes scary.
7. Hundreds of times.
I have experienced sleep paralysis literally hundreds of times. Usually, an alien-like creature of black color and a height of about 1 meter would come to me. I also saw a skeleton with a scythe in a black hoodie. I do not have auditory hallucinations, I just feel paralyzed, and to get rid of such visions, I just close my eyes tightly - and everything disappears.
8. “Even if I don’t see anyone, I feel that there is someone in the room.”
This happens to me so often that I'm not even scared anymore. It's creepy, sure, but not like it used to be. The first few hallucinations were terrible:
The little creature was eating something greedily while sitting on the floor of my room. I blinked. Now it was right next to my face and, continuing to chew, whispered: "Do you remember me?".
An elderly woman stood over my head and whispered softly: "Cute…". I told my mom about it and she asked: "Did you think it was your late grandmother?" No. It was evil.
Hallucinations are always evil. Even if I don't see anyone, I feel that there is someone in the room. This is evil, nothing else. I can not move. Evil attacks me. I can't call for help. I can only breathe heavily and loudly in the hope that someone will hear me and save me. I'm trying to move my fingers. Come on!..
9. "...and this is the face that aged before my eyes."
It was the first and only time I saw a dream turn into reality. I had a good dream and suddenly ... I realized in a dream that I was dreaming. I opened my eyes and saw a woman's face above me, which suddenly turned from young and attractive into old, wrinkled and blackened, like everything around. I couldn't move and felt pressure on my chest, and this is a face that was aging before my eyes.
10. They laughed at me.
The last time a demon appeared to me, he stood in the corner of the room (behind me, where I could not see him) and spoke some kind of nonsense.
Sometimes demons came to me, like Jacob's ladder, and sometimes people I know, but they were possessed and often laughed at me.
11. Someone saved me.
One night, when I was trying to sleep, my arm fell through the bed. But, in fact, she was lying on the bed. When this usually happens, I just put it away, but this time curiosity got the better of me. How long will it last? And I began to swing my arm until my shoulder slipped after her. It was new and exciting.
However, I felt that there, further, there was something. I wasn't afraid, my curiosity was out of control. I lost my caution and tried to reach out to what I thought was there, in the depths of the void.
Big mistake. My leg slipped, and behind it - and the whole body. I started to fall. At the very last moment before that, I realized that what I was so longing for was not a thing at all, but a fear that I had never experienced before. I tried to go back, but I couldn't. My body didn't listen to me.
At the last second, something grabbed my shoulder and pulled me out. I don't know what it was. But definitely something strong and solid.
12. Steps.
I heard the back door open. At this time, I was lying on the couch and could not even move. I just heard someone's steps in the kitchen, then in the dining room, they slowly approached the living room where I was. I couldn't move, I couldn't scream. I managed to come to my senses at the very last moment before I suffocated (apnea).
I know that someday I will die from this. Not at the hands of a real criminal, but suffocated during another nightmare. Sleep apnea drives me crazy.
13. Little black kid…
This happens to me when I get too tired and lie down to take a nap. It all depends on what I dream about - I “wake up”, unable to even move and with a feeling of heaviness in my body. I feel almost good and at the same time creepy, because I can not control what is happening. Whatever I dream about, it always happens in my room. One day I dreamed of a small black child (it made me shiver). Most often, in my dreams, different people or “demons”, as you call them, appear to me. I scream and fall asleep again, then it repeats again after a couple of seconds, and so on several times. In the end, I finally wake up, panic-stricken.
14. Beetles.
I woke up and saw a giant Egyptian scarab in front of me, which looked at me and said: "Can't wait to taste your rotten flesh." Then, after long speeches describing the details of my eating, he turned into hundreds or even thousands of small scarabs, which with a terrible noise disappeared into the crevices of the walls.
15. Devil-like creature
The most terrible thing that appeared to me was a devil-like creature with red skin, in black clothes and with huge teeth. He sat on my chest and choked me. Fear took over. I couldn't move or scream. In the morning my husband said that at night someone also tried to strangle him.
The analytical portal Pravoslavny Vzglyad asked Orthodox experts to describe the phenomenon called “sleep paralysis”:
MIKHAIL KHASMINSKY, Orthodox psychologist
This problem is faced by many people and quite often. This disease is described in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), but modern science still cannot unambiguously, clearly and distinctly explain the processes that occur with people in this state of consciousness, it gives a descriptive, presumptive nature of these states, therefore, until now there is no explanation for the causes of this disease.
Sleep paralysis is a direct contact with the other world, because a person in this state passes into another reality, where real events happen to him, as it were, that frighten him. And during this nightmare, a person cannot move, but being in a different reality, he is helpless. Probably, this state is similar to the state of hell, when a person is tormented by fear and horror, but he cannot do anything.
In my practice, there were quite interesting cases related to sleep paralysis. One can try to explain this phenomenon by the alpha state of the brain, when there is an interaction between sleep and reality and penetration between realities can be carried out. This state of transition into another reality is very dangerous. You can compare it with going out into the street - you can meet a bad person, and a good one, and if a person does not know how to understand people, then most likely he will find himself in a bad situation. In order not to get into a bad story, one must understand and distinguish between spirits.
But, we, modern people, for the most part are in a state of sin, communicate with unclean spirits in our reality, do not live the spiritual life as it should, and do not have the gift of discerning spirits. That is why it is necessary to give less importance to dreams (which are most often from demons), and also less to strive for meditation, and other dangerous practices associated with an altered state of consciousness.
But if we talk about sleep paralysis, then no one suits him on purpose, it turns out that the door opens by itself, the person sleeps, but at the same time contacts with impure entities. One of my patients fell into a similar state many times, many times she experienced horror, waking up in a different reality, she saw very vivid images of impure forces, and the only thing that helped her get out of this was a prayer to the Life-Giving Cross and “Our Father”. Sleep paralysis occurs in those who are spiritually weak, and in order not to fall into such states, one must lead a spiritual life. From my point of view, this is an important factor.
Hieromonk Macarius (Markish), cleric of the Ivanovo-Voznesensk diocese, church publicist and missionary
This actually happens quite often. The difference between believers and non-believers is manifested not in the phenomenon itself, but in its assessment - it deprives the unbeliever of rest and peace in the soul, torments with a riddle, torments with mystery, and for the believer - it is also unpleasant, but we look at such things calmly, indifferently and , in general, without interest. A fairly accurate analogy can be given: if a child is not properly educated, then a suddenly seen pornographic scene will make a strong and vivid impression on him, and he will be intrigued, interested, excited. But a normally, reasonably brought up child is protected from such influence, because he knows for sure that this is dirt, evil, abomination, and will turn away without unnecessary emotions. When it comes to the mysterious phenomena of the invisible, non-material world, we all become like children to a certain extent, but proper education (religious, in this case) brings us tremendous benefits and protects us from demonic attacks.
We must clearly realize that here we stand on the border of the visible and invisible worlds, and if in the first one psychological and physiological research, experiments, natural scientific methods of cognition are possible (and useful), then in the second (the border with which is blurred, indefinite) There is nothing like it and there cannot be. This world is different, not subject to either positive experience or formal knowledge.
DMITRY TSORIONOV (ENTEO), founder of the "God's Will" movement
Sleep paralysis is a ubiquitous phenomenon in post-Christian society, a direct contact between man and the dark side of the spiritual world. In modern Russia, entire generations that grew up without God were thrown to the mercy of demons. Most modern people regularly encounter attacks by fallen spirits; for hundreds of thousands of people, daily sleep is a familiar dose of total horror, to which a person gets used to over time. As soon as the demons do not mock people, what horrors they show. People describe in detail how they see dozens of demons that mock them, chained with horror. For some people, every night is a struggle to survive. And only when a person begins to try, despite paralysis, by a huge effort of will to pronounce the words of an Orthodox prayer, the demons retreat. I know many cases when, with sleep paralysis, people began to say well-known Orthodox prayers, although they had not even heard them before.
I recalled one interesting case about this topic. When I corresponded with one of the followers of neo-Hinduism guru OSHO Rajneesh, I told him that the reality of fallen angels is hidden behind Eastern mysticism. In response to his ridicule over what he said, I wrote to him that he would not laugh if these spirits came to him at night. The next day, he writes me a long letter, describing sleep paralysis, the appearance of a demon, writes how his soul suffered from the approach of evil, how he felt the once removed cross on himself and he was saved by a luminous man, whom he later recognized when he saw the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. God allows us to come into close contact with the world of fallen angels, for the sake of our admonition, but unfortunately, not everyone, even after this, is ready to change their lives.
To the depths of my soul, I was struck by a post about sleep paralysis in the most popular public among young people on Vkontakte, MDK. This community largely determines the worldview of the modern teenager, full of cynicism, fornication, blasphemy and perversion. The post received more than 30,000 likes and 4,000 comments from teens describing their experience of sleep paralysis. You have no idea what horrors these unfortunate children, disfigured by the modern world and godless upbringing, described there. Many said that they experience this every day, many say that they are already used to it.
I found this post on purpose to make a few comments that are essentially a snapshot of the spiritual state of our youth:
“It happens to me a couple of times a month for sure. Feelings were different. Once the bed shook like an earthquake. There were some left-wing dialogues with deceased relatives. A bunch of hallucinations from the category that someone is touching me. In general, dofiga everything dark. If things happen at night and I wake up or already feel that it will start tonight, I just turn on the TV, put it on automatic shutdown and it seems to help ”;
- “Usually it comes from four in the evening until 7-8, you understand that this is a dream, but you can’t do anything, the feeling that you are being strangled, all sorts of monsters are walking around or the appearance of your relatives, at that moment you dream that someone will wake you up , I start moving the little finger on my hand, etc. I barely wake up and don’t go to bed anymore”;
“It feels like huge black spiders are crawling around, devils are sitting on you, the fire is crackling deafeningly, someone is talking loudly around, huge monsters are bigger than consciousness itself and paralyzing animal fear from the depths of the universe. and so every damn night. I hate";
“It’s always this crap, but I can’t even open my eyes. But you can clearly hear how the handle turns in the room and someone's steps are approaching, very similar to the sound of hooves ... ";
- “It was, I sleep, everything is so normal, only I slept with my eyes open, xs how so. After that, I turned on the other side, looked stupidly into the distance of the room and that's it. Then there was a sharp ringing in my ears, and it was as if a thousand slow, rough voices were yelling into my ear. Then terrible faces appeared before my eyes, they stared blankly into my eyes and screamed. Strange, but I could not move, such a strange feeling ... ";
“It was business. You lie like this, and it seems that this is a dream, next to ghosts, all sorts of demons. You start mooing with fear, moving your fingers, eyes back and forth. Then the state disappears, and you lie and don’t understand what just happened right now. O".
Can you imagine what it's like to live with it? These are ordinary children who go to school, listen to their favorite performers, discuss the heroes of the series, models of mobile phones. These are the children who were brought up by the generation of Pelevin, the generation that had forgotten Christ. Children for whom fornication, the occult, godlessness and blasphemy have become the norm. For these outwardly prosperous children, hell begins already in this life. I think we should all seriously think about it.

Recently, when I go to bed, I feel that someone invisible is standing in the room. And I peer into the darkness to see something, but I don’t see anything. It’s very scary. It feels like someone is looking in the back and standing behind. I try to drink sedative tinctures for the night, so that there is no such horror. Am I sick? Is this a mental disorder, nerves or evil spirits? At the age of 13, I somehow woke up and saw that a man was looking at me, drilling me with a gaze. I wanted to approach him, but he disappeared. The man is no more than 40, maybe less. But this it was once and I didn’t feel the presence then. And now many years have passed since that incident and I don’t see anyone - but with my skin I feel that someone is there. The deceased girlfriend dreamed several times, but rarely. I dreamed that she wanted something from me. They gave jewelry from the dead in life. What was it?
Hello. I am not an adherent of religious beliefs, although the commandments are still sacred. As for you.........Pay attention to what you drink before going to bed and who pours it for you. Visions don't just happen, they need to be provoked.. Think about it, analyze it. No, of course, there may be a restless conscience, but you have it calm: Regards
thanks for the kind and useful advice. today they consecrated the apartment and the day before I anointed the side of the bed with holy water from the monastery and all night after the water I felt relieved and firm calm and as if my bed was fenced with a solid shield or wall. the waters disappeared immediately. I hope that today, after the consecration, he will sleep well. Immediately after the consecration, it became so good, calm and easy. such cases among people after they tried to sprinkle with holy water, the evil spirits told them something. It’s creepy somehow from this). God save you.
A friend died in 2010 on January 20 from meningitis. It was a surprise for everyone. The second friend’s grandmother died three years ago. When we looked after her (she was dying), a friend took off her ring and gave it to me. Baba Nina was still alive Then she died a few days later. And Kuma's mother died two years ago. Kuma gave me her beads, scarves, earrings, etc.
As for the entities, which are energy substances at different levels, you should not be afraid of them. Until you pay attention to them, nothing will happen. You still do not see anything either on the energy level or on the emotional-figurative level. Why then did you need to feel them?) As Dmitriy said, accept it) Accept that we are not alone in this multifaceted world) I think it is your fear of the unknown, the darkness. Your state of M\ can manifest itself against the background of constant searches for the meaning of life, the essence of man, against the background of the desire to know something mystical, for which you may not be ready, as well as against the background of loneliness or self-acceptance. Anything and anything can come out of the area of the unconscious - from standard neuroses up to paranoia. I think you can find the root of the problem and fix it.
About the deceased girlfriend is a separate issue. Although it seemed to me that you catch some kind of connection in this circumstance ...
It was advisable to find out the following: How long ago did she die? and what does your phrase "they gave jewelry from the dead in life" mean?There can be many options, but if you feel fear, then the entity is stealing energy. It may be a large larva. The sensation of the larva is as if there is a black hole in a certain place, which attracts your attention, although there is no one there ... Children can often feel ... To be honest, put up with it and it will disappear. If you do not have any attention, then the meaning of the larva will lose ... But there can be many of them around us, of different sizes! They are always there, we just do not unwittingly establish contact with all of them ... But in general, be careful. This is the second time I see that you have been chosen by entities. Be more free, show inner creativity, spend energy on it and not on feeding all sorts of entities... And don't be afraid! All this exists, but as they say, fear has big eyes. The Dark Ones take advantage of the fear of the unknown... And they don't take away their health, we give it to them out of fear. So don't be afraid. Be strong in spirit))
