I'm afraid of the dark and having a sleep paralysis. Because of that I cant sleep without hiding under my blanket. How can I get rid of this fear? I can't do night meditations because of this.

Hello, I used to fear the darkness too because of too many horror movies as a kid, what I did to overcome it is a bit extreme but that's what I did.

I bought a camping hammock and went camping in the woods alone, I was terrified and it was super cold, a branch also fell on me while I was trying to sleep, but after that night I can walk in a forest at night without light without any fear whatsoever.

Hello! Certain phobias may be due to many factors like trauma even stemming from past lives (which you could do a Freeing the Soul workingExternal ↗ for if this issue impedes your life) or as simple as a matter needing some exposure therapy over time. I remember also having a fear of the dark and sleeping beside a trusted loved one in the dark helped me overcome it. You can also try sleeping with a pet in your room. I also recommend a dim night light as a means to help make the adjustment to darker and darker sleeping conditions easier.

You don't have to fear darkness in your room and house. There is nothing there. There is no difference compared to day time. Why do you fear it exactly? Why is it scary for you exactly?

The fear of the dark can indeed trigger watching horror movies, but usually on certain topics that change your mindset to negative vibrations (polarity).

Hollywood often makes films in such a way that, after watching, the psyche is in a very agitated state.

To get rid of fear, you need to reverse the polarity and cultivate the opposite of fear - courage. You have to realize that you are not afraid in the dark, but you are safe.

When a person is afraid, lower entities can frighten you: for example, you may hear rustling in different parts of the room or near you, but when you regularly meditate and raise your vibration level, you can punish these entities using your powers, for example, by visualizing how you burn them. Lower entities feed on negative emotions, especially fear.

You don't fear the dark; you fear what could be lurking in the dark. This is normal, and everyone experiences it, even in adulthood. I'd run to turn on the lights as well if I heard an unexplained noise or I saw something move in the corner of my eye. This only becomes a problem when it is chronic, meaning it happens all the time. This comes from a deep sense of insecurity.

An aura of protection done correctly will easily solve this. You simply have to KNOW and FEEL that you are protected, that the Gods are with you, and that nothing can really touch you.
