Hey guys
Even before I started studying astral projection or even knew what it was about, I had experienced this thing called the catatonic state. It's different from astral projection, normal dreaming and lucid dreaming. The catatonic state is where your consciousness has moved from your physical body to your etheric body, but not yet to your astral body. An example of this is when you're conscious and are aware of the things that are happening around you, but your physical body is asleep. Can be terrifying!
Now I know better. Here's an article I found that talks explains the catatonic state, or what clinical experts call Sleep Paralysis.
Have you experienced this before? Let me know!
The Catatonic State
There is a state of awareness that most of us encounter at some time or another that is not astral projection, nor is it a dream.
The catatonic state of awareness is when our consciousness detaches and transfers itself from our physical body to our etheric body (but not yet in the astral body). However, the etheric body is still considerably attached to the physical, and has most of the "control".
Clinical psychologists call this Sleep Paralysis, but they are wrong. They define this as a REM sleep state and that the consciousness can not become aware of anything by perceiving it and that it can be aware of nothing except what it "hallucinates". When I read about Sleep Paralysis, I have to smile, because here are some of the symptoms:
- Vibrations and shaking
- The sensation of floating, as in "out of body"
- The sense that other beings are in the room or vicinity
- The ability to see through closed eyes.
