I am trying to enter the void state using a hypnagogic state (or by putting my body to sleep while keeping my mind awake -I’m not really sure about the difference between these two-). I read your other posts on this topic and thank you for your guidance. My question is, while trying to enter the void state with this method, aren’t we actually entering the delta state? Honestly, it’s really hard to stay awake while entering delta. Some people say the mind enters delta to reach the void state. I hope I was able to explain this clearly.

Briefly

To enter the void state = to reach delta with awareness in both mind and body?

Or

To reach the void state = the body reaches delta, but the mind stays in theta?

hii 🤍

I’m glad you found my posts useful so far

there’s a difference between the hypnagogic, delta and theta state:

hypnagogia —> you enter it as you’re about to fall asleep, it is an alternate state of consciousness that can help you enter the void as you’re still semi-aware

delta —> it is a state of deep sleep that occurs before rem sleep and you don’t have any conscious experience. it’s the sleep that if you accidentally wake up from you’re disoriented without any recollection of your dreams. you can’t reach the void while in delta state, but can after during rem sleep

theta —> it’s the first state of sleep after the hypnagogic state. it’s a state of light sleep and deep relaxation, linked to creativity and meditation. you’re between wakefulness and deeper sleep, awareness fades but it’s not completely gone. you can enter the void here as well

Okay here me out as someone who has been "traumatised" during sleep paralysis ( I felt a hand go up my legs and I was wearing a night dress mind you) it's not actually as scary as you might think.

Because Sleep paralysis is when a person transitions between sleep stages, particularly from REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, during which the body is naturally paralyzed to prevent acting out dreams, into wakefulness.

It is harmless and I'm sorry to say this but those "shadows" that you see are actually a projection of your subconscious mind. What is it that's actually scaring you?

Is something that you should seek to discover or else you might be stuck and keep on waking up every time you feel an intense symptom or feeling. Journal it or whatever method you use and tell yourself that it's all in your head and that you are more powerful than that and most importantly you are safe.

Storytime

Okay so I was planning on doing an awake method and I decided to lay on my back since I sleep when I'm in a comfortable position. Anyway I got my subliminal and started counting. I counted till 100 then I started affirming I felt the usual symptoms; twitching, feeling really hot etc but then nothing was happening and was starting to get impatient. I told myself lemme just count the last time till 50 then I'll just go to sleep because I was also starting to get sleepy. I started counting then when I reached 15 I felt a pressure on my chest like something was pushing me down like aggressively but I told myself that I'm not going to get scared cause I thought I was shifting so I continued counting. I reached around 35 when my eyes opened on its own , I was so excited but when I looked around I was still in my room and I almost crashed out because I was so done atp 😭✋🏽. I tried to move but I couldn't and I could still hear the subliminal that's when I knew that I had sleep paralysis. Since I've never seen any "demons/shadows" I wasn't scared and I thought lemme try shifting to my Dr but I didn't specify which one and it still pisses me off to this day!!!

Anyway I started affirming that, " I'm in my Dr" over n over when suddenly my legs started floating and my eyes like shut themselves and I couldn't open them I started being scared because wth 😭. Anyway I just kept affirming and then I saw flashlights, it was like there were cameras flashing around my eyes . When suddenly everything stopped and my eyes opened by itself.

I noticed that I was in an all white room with white sheets and there was a woman next to me. I sat up because I was confused on which reality I was in and I looked at the woman and saw that it was Aurora ( the singer, I luv her sm😭) she was seated on the bed and was reading a book , she glanced at me and I immediately asked her which building are we in and she looked at me like I was fucking crazy and started saying that my jokes are turning to be pathetic, like huh?!?😭 Y'all I was so offended I had even forgotten that I had shifted for a second. I just decided not to argue with her and I looked outside the window on my left and it looked like the medieval times? I'm not sure and the buildings were like the old times designed . I looked down at myself and I saw that I was white ( I'm mixed) and that's when I was like, "Did I shift to a reality where I'm a white person?"( Oh and I was wearing a grandma nightdress 😭it was cute tho it was in baby pink) Immediately I stood up wanting to like know where the hell I was but then I couldn't move my legs like I couldn't lift them so I was just awkwardly standing there trying to lift them and Aurora sighed saying " How do you expect to walk after the night you just had?"

WHEN I TELL YOU MY JAW WAS ON THE FUCKING FLOOR I LITERALLY SCREAMED AT HER"WHAT?! " and she told me to shut up 😭. Anyway she said that 'he' told her to come up to check on me because I wasn't waking up!!! I was shocked and I just kept thinking " Did I just get fucked a few hours before I shifted here? What if I had shifted in the middle of it?!" My mind was so chaotic and I couldn't even think of anyone that could have been 'him'

Anyway Aurora came and pushed back on the bed telling me that I have to rest because I haven't really slept much but then I started feeling like my body was being pulled down and I knew that I was shifting back and started pleading to Aurora to help me up because I was not sleepy but she insisted and told me to sleep and that she'll be right back and then I woke up here.

I was in shock for like 5 minutes and I couldn't even leave the bed, I was feeling a little disoriented and nauseous, I also noticed that my body had moved positions to me laying on my side.

Hope this motivates you n that you don't need any genetics to shift that's a load of bullshit🚮, your cat can even shift if it could who knows . And this was to also show you that sleep paralysis isn't scary or bad and can actually be useful. I'm still not sure if you can manifest through it but I'll try next time and see✨.

This is what I Saw one woman wearing, not sure which time period this is.

this morning while i was dozing in and out of consciousness at like 5am, a thought came across my mind and i thought that i would share it here. i don’t know where the thought came from but it kept repeating over and over in my head until i eventually went back to sleep.

i had woken up during REM and i was trying my best to fall into a lucid dream but overall i was unsuccessful because i am a bitch for falling asleep too quickly… anyways- i noticed myself trying to ‘find’ my visualisation & affirmations because my mind would very quickly focus on something else. SO- out of nowhere i began saying to myself “find it, and forget about it.” i noticed that i was semi-unconsciously “finding” what i wanted to manifest, (in this case, a lucid dream) focusing on the feeling of it for a few seconds, and letting it go. Or, “forgetting about it.”

i know this sounds so straight forward but as a person who struggles to keep my mind focused on one thing for too long while meditating, i found that those few seconds that i could concentrate on the feeling of my manifestation and allowing myself to forget about it and let my mind drift to another thing naturally rather than forcing myself to think about something, really got me into a calmer state of mind before i fell back asleep.
