Vibration and shadow

[WhiteGoddess]

Hi all

I know that we have a member called caroline, who shared a similar story with us here.. but I can't find the thread??

My friend had an experience the other night and I am unsure exactly how to help her.
She couldn't sleep, so she tried reading for a while.. a book.. a magazine.. watched TV.. but she was still restless. Her husband was downstairs preparing for a job interview he had this morning and she didn't want to disturb him, so she lay in bed.. turned off the TV and hoped to fall asleep. She calculated that it was about 2-3 minutes after she turned off the TV, that she felt 'strange'. She said she felt a 'buzz' of sorts and then suddenly, it was as though her insides were electrified - the best way to describe it, she said, is to say she was 'vibrating'. She felt as though her whole weight was no longer on her bed and her 'insides' were vibrating. About 30 seconds into the experience, she saw movement accross the side of the room. She was reluctant to call it a 'dark shadow' or even 'a dark mist', but she doesn't have another words to describe what it looked like. She is said it moved accross the side of the room and then accross the bottom of the bed and disappeared.

She is a little freaked to say the least. She is fearful of such things, even though she has had a few inexplicable experiences over the years. I advised she try some meditation, though not directly before planning to sleep. I said it may help her relax and also, it is a way of preparing yourself for communication with Spirit. I ran out of time thereafter, so I said I would offer some further advice asap. I am going to suggest she tries to communicate with Spirit and to note down all that happens within that meditation, no matter how insignificant it may seem - it is how I met one of my Guides, so I know - or maybe better to say, I believe it works.

Any other suggestions?? I ask because there are many words of advice I could offer, but I would like to hear some of your thoughts so that I can help her in the best way possible, seeking different routes if necessary. I have an open mind, though perhaps I am set in certain ways now and so my help may not aid her.. do you know what I mean?? Hope so..

Thanks,

It is hard to give advise on such things for real...it is such a personal experience, and depending on her background and belief system it would be even harder for her to understand or not.

I think what you told her was good...also...I think that everyone experiences these types of things every so often throughout our lives and most simply get a little spooked or pass it off as hallucination.

You and I have been seeing and talking to spirits our whole lives...which at many times has freaked me out, and at the best of times I've been ok with it...and now...I still see them and ignore it most of the time.

Although tonight for example...I'm sitting here at the kitchen table and a white fluffy cat walked under the table, brushing my leg and the table cloth actually moved...and my leg was a full 6 inch's away from it.

I was a little shocked by it in some ways as things rarely move, although admittedly I've had them do so before...it's been a while.

My thought on it though is that we are aware of these things, these spiritual events when we are a places where we are open to them...when we are tired or particularly open and in high energy etc.

A hand full of us come into the world open in such a manner that we must struggle to put up walls and barriers in order to block some of it out it can be so confusing...while others only see/feel the evidence of spiritual beings around them when they are very tired etc.

AT any rate, the only advise I have is to try and relax as you suggested already, there really isn't much to be afraid of...but it helps her she might try saying a prayer or set an intention that they do not appear to her unless there is a good reason, and that they communicate with her comfortably and in a way she may understand if they are trying to connect with her etc.

Some people put up protective shields around them and this helps them feel safe...and it's easy to do...simply visualize a white light all around you, and put an intention that it will keep you safe from any negative vibrational spirits that may be around...it is a light of Love if you understand what I mean.

For myself...If I can't handle it...I ask them to leave or if they choose to stick around that they are less noticeable to me...they seem to understand.

Love / Peace / Joy

First if I may ask, if there has been any further encounters or developments with the situation?
The entity may have been the reason your friends felt restless and unable to sleep. When the television was turned off it may have released the required energy needed for the entity to become visable to your friend. And there are supposed to be entities that only appear as 3 demensional shadows. Their often reffered to as 'shadow people', or as I think of them as 'shadow spirits'. And they are notorious for emitting negative vibrational energy (i.e., the experiences tend to be more unnerving than any other encounters with spirits.)
And finally, everything through-out the Universe exist due to vibrational energy.

I just posted in another thread about this... I was googling sleep paralysis today... amongst other things for some reason. Just had a stream of things I wanted to search on which led me to reading up on this. I have actually been searching for answers to the same questions for a while. I have had these same experiences for some time. I ended up reading into REM states today and also hypnogogic states. I discount what I have experienced as hallucinations as most scientists and Dr's would like to claim they are. But it says that these episodes usually include intense emotion of some sort ... which they usually do. When I was younger the more scared I was the more they happened, but also it happens in light sleep in between consciousness and unconscious states. If we are extremely tired it tends to happen less. The longer we stay between conscious and unconscious sleep states opens the door to these events. I have many times been conscious and also asleep. Sometimes I see things, sometimes I vibrate, sometimes I feel presure, and have felt held down, sometimes I see figures and sometimes I see various shapes and sparkles colors etc. It was nice to find something writen on the topic though I must say because I had been searching for some time on this topic and hadn't found anything specific. I guess possibly I just didn't know what to look for.

But by Googling Sleep Paralysis, Hypnogogic consciousness, Shadow people and Astral Catalepsy was where I found most information that was very helpful on the topic. Wikipedia had the first 3 and was very descriptive.
