Why does the brownie bother. The brownie arrives. What to do? Why does the brownie suffocate in the apartment - a warning
If at the present time a certain number of people are asked about the existence of a brownie, then in the distant past, no one had such a question, because everyone knew that a brownie exists.
Does the house have a brownie?
In each country, he had his own name: Brownie, Skrzhitek, Gospodar ... But the fact remained: in every country, in every house there was a master. He was respected, fed, entertained. In order for the brownie not to be bored, they left him a special box with bright small objects: beads, buttons, beautiful pictures. It was customary to treat the owner of the house with the most delicious cookies, gingerbread, sweets, and drink fresh milk.
How to find out if there is a brownie in the house?
The brownie had a complex character. For example, he could not hesitate to express his dissatisfaction with the cleanliness in the house, which was supposed to be monitored by a woman. In punishment, he mischievous different ways: could scare the owners at night, rattle things and simply hide them. And all this could continue until the hostess began to conscientiously do her job. He could also be mischievous if he did not like the location of the household. For example, they could inadvertently take his playing or sleeping place. In this case, the brownie also drove them away from their rightful place by all means.
Why does the brownie suffocate at night?
His most terrible sign was considered when he began to choke the owner during sleep. Such stories are not uncommon when a person wakes up, can neither breathe nor move. Someone believes that this brownie appeared in order to warn the owner about something. However, most people know
that this so-called sleep paralysis is a bridge between the physical world and astral projection, it is quite common when the body is sleeping while the consciousness is awake. Therefore, in this state, it is necessary to give the body time so that it fully wakes up.
Signs of a brownie
But do not assume that the brownie wishes harm to a person. In the old days they said that a harmful brownie is better than none. He is the guardian of everyday life, the general condition of the family. The brownie did not allow evil forces to seep into the family and by all means protected his people from negative energy.
It is believed that the brownie appears in the house when a certain family life, habits and routines have already been established. At the same time, not every family in our time can come to live with a brownie. It's kind of an honor. After all, if he begins to live in a certain apartment, then you have found your protector.
The brownie must have his own corner, which you will “disturb” on special occasions: leave the most beautiful saucer with food and milk. If these points are not observed, your life will begin "fun".
It is known that brownies got along very well with domestic animals, especially with cats. Probably everyone who has a mustachioed pet has noticed more than once how the animal continuously looks at one point. After such a “long look”, there is a different outcome: either the pet continues the business on which it stopped, for example, to wash, or it takes off and begins to rush around the apartment.
You won't be able to see a brownie specially. He himself decides when it is necessary and possible to appear to people. Yes, and in this case, it is impossible to sit and drink tea with him, he will just allow himself to be seen out of the corner of his eye. But on the other hand, you can hear him: usually he starts making noise, groaning in the kitchen after 12 at night.
When moving to a new place, people called the brownie with them. And he had to be the first to step on the threshold of a new house. In the case when the brownie began to be unnecessarily harmful, it was necessary to strictly ask him to stop doing so, and if he still did not obey, various abusive phrases were used.
From underworld carefully hidden from human eyes, respectively, their appearance has a deep meaning.
The reasons for the appearance depend on the methods of arrival of the brownie. If he slams the door - there will be a dead person, if he groans plaintively or groans - it will be trouble, if pots rattle - you should be afraid of a fire.
Why does the brownie come
Russian people have always treated brownies with great respect. They were considered the owners of the house, who love cleanliness, protect the inhabitants of the dwelling and move with people to a new place of residence.
Since ancient times, there has been a rule: if a brownie appears, he wants to warn about something, so you need to ask him the question: “For good or for worse?”. The creature will certainly give an answer.
Sometimes the brownie comes just like that. Often this happens when new tenants move into the house. He appears not only to get to know them, but also to show that he also lives here. And this also applies to pets. Cats and dogs clearly see brownies, sometimes they play with them. But if the being does not love them, there will be no rest for him. Therefore, beloved household members sometimes run away: they go out for a walk and never return.
Sometimes representatives of the other world appear to take care of the household. This usually happens after a long absence of people. The brownie is bored and shows that he managed to protect and save their housing.
Why does the brownie come at night
Most often, the arrivals of brownies are felt at night. According to ancient beliefs, if a person sees a brownie or talks to an otherworldly creature, he can forever lose the ability to talk or go crazy. Therefore, these beings come in dreams. A person can feel them, hear them, but he will not be able to open his eyes and pronounce at least one word. Questions are asked mentally. Brownie can read minds and answers questions in a clear (usually male) voice.
To the question of what the brownie comes to at night and begins to choke, there are many answers:
Brownies are big mischief-makers and love to play. They hide the things of the household, and then discreetly throw them into unusual places.
Often brownies warn the owners about damage. They feel people with negative thoughts at a distance and therefore try in every possible way to prevent them. For example, troubles happen to a person who has come: everything falls out of his hands, clothes may inadvertently be torn or his head may ache.
Sometimes brownies come during the big church holidays for a tasty treat. This is where the tradition of feeding the mystical protector came from. To do this, sweets and milk are left on the table for the night with words offering to taste the treat.
In the old days, there were rituals associated with brownies. He was interested in the future, asked to help in business and celebrated his birthday. Practicing with rituals is not recommended, as an improperly performed rite can only anger the creature.
What the brownie comes to, one can only guess. Even if a person does not immediately understand what a creature from the subtle world needs from him, the answer will come in the coming days. with the household or his relatives, or maybe he will hear news about someone he knows.
For the last six years I have been researching the topic of the other world in everyday life: poltergeist, brownies, omens, signs of fate. Conducted dozens of consultations on these topics, read hundreds of stories. Brownies are an amazing phenomenon. I will not repeat what has already been reprinted hundreds of times by ethnographers and folklore researchers. As a psychologist, she analyzed: why such visits, what happened before, what happened after, what happened in a person’s life at that time. I am sure that only through the general context of fate does the meaning of mystical experience become clear. I will write my findings.
I want to immediately warn you that stories like “the brownie pissed in the closet”, “woke up without panties”, “someone shifted me at night”, “found a knife in the bed”, “someone took the ring off his finger” are most often related to mysticism Dont Have. It is a sleep disorder that affects thousands of people, most often in childhood.
All stories are taken from open sources or comments on this site. I only write about real people.
1.Help in a critical situation
Everyone knows that the brownie is a good spirit that keeps the house and its inhabitants from troubles and misfortunes. If you live in love and harmony, honestly working for the good of the family, useful to people, do not go into magic to do your will, in peace with the dead, then your life is simple and stable. There are no frightening sounds, strange disappearances of things, nightmares. And then the meeting with the mystical and otherworldly occurs only in special vital situations. In the comments, one of the readers of the site shared a story of salvation that happened to him in childhood. He told about his parents interesting fact: "In my memory, mom and dad quarreled only three times, and even then without shouting and insults, they were silent, sat, then agreed." Surprisingly mature, beautiful people in relations with each other. And the brownie here smells of cologne, in clean clothes, polite and good-natured.
The story happened 40 years ago. I was then three years old. Winter, early evening, but already dark. Mother brought me from a walk and put me to bed in a back room. She went to the kitchen to cook. The radio was working. Mother definitely did not sleep, she was not even sleepy. My father was on daily duty in the hospital. About half an hour passed, when suddenly a man entered the kitchen from the corridor. The mother was so frightened that she could not even move and scream. She has a professional memory for faces (she is a graphic designer). I remember it very well, down to the smallest detail. Very tall, under two meters, broad-shouldered, blond hair, lush to the shoulders, about 30 years old. In general, he looked like a person who was engaged in power sports, then he quit training and became somewhat stout. As she said, he had a noticeable belly under the T-shirt. The face is calm, rather good-natured. The mother noted two details: right hand he had a tattoo, some blue letters on the knuckles. And he also had very clean clothes, like fresh from the store: a white T-shirt and gray suit trousers. He was barefoot. He called her by name and also said calmly: “We are burning. Take your son." The mother also remembered the voice, low, with a hoarseness. She immediately went into the room, and remembers that he stepped aside, pressed his back against the door frame to let her through. Hefty same, almost the entire opening occupied. She managed to notice that warmth emanates from him, he breathes, she even felt a slight smell of cologne. Then she immediately rushed to the room where I slept. And on time. The fact is that a heater with a round reflector and an incandescent spiral worked in the room. Grandmother hung on him my clothes, wet after a walk, which dried up and flared up. When the mother ran in, the room was filled with smoke. She carried me out of the room, I was in a semi-consciousness. Mother managed to put out the fire. We had a burnt spot on the parquet in this place for many years until they made a new floor. Naturally, there was no pot-bellied big man in the house. The door was locked from the inside with a key and a chain. Grandma was sleeping. We lived on the fifth floor, without a balcony, the windows were sealed for the winter. That is, this type could not enter the house in any natural way. And get out of the apartment too. Outwardly, he did not look like any of our relatives (neither dead nor alive), or acquaintances of the family, there were no such people among the neighbors either. Before our family, no one lived in the apartment, my parents moved into a new building and lived there for seven years. Yes, and the mother herself laughed that “this person is not to her taste as a man,” that is, imagining a “guardian angel”, she certainly would not have come up with such a strange type. For a ghost, he was too bodily or something, his mother remembered that he cast a shadow by the light of a lamp in the kitchen. So she told me that "your guardian angel loves to eat and obviously sat, otherwise where would the tattoos come from." She never saw this man again: neither in a dream nor in reality.
2. Fascination with magic
People with a difficult fate, deprived of the usual supports of a loving family, whose childhood was bitter, often seek strength and power over the world in magical practices. Indeed, the difficult trials that fall to a person in the early years can involve the deep layers of the psyche and then a special gift of intuition develops. AT prophetic dreams, strange sounds and touches people receive signs about the future. Feel special and significant. And yet, household magic (calling spirits, spells of elements) only worsens the situation. After all, true strength and confidence can be gained only by relying on oneself, and not on otherworldly forces. Taking a step towards the world of spirits, you move away from people. And this increases anxiety, the border between the worlds becomes unsteady. And at night you talk with the brownie, and even smile.
For the second night in a row, a brownie comes to me. Lies on me first on my feet, then on my whole body, and not move. Once I slept without a blanket and felt his hairline on my own body. Again, do not move, it became harder to breathe and there was some kind of itching all over the body. Don't say I'm scared. I'm generally not shy and have not seen such things in my life. Death of parents, orphanage, prison. Gathering my strength, I finally asked him: “For worse or for better?” More precisely, I groaned, I can’t speak. He replied: “For good!” After these words, I felt better, I smiled. And I heard him laugh. I am interested in everything mystical, magical, extrasensory. read a lot about black magic, practiced various spells there.
3. Disrespect for elders
For some reason, many do not understand how dangerous it is not to respect elders. They condemn the mother-in-law's stupidity, blame their mother for their troubles, and hold a grudge against their father. But for the guardians of the family, such a violation of the order is not acceptable. The elders give the younger ones care when they need it. And the younger ones, in turn, must repay their debt with elementary gratitude. This is one of the most common causes of poltergeist in the apartment. The most amazing thing is that your respect is needed not by elders, but by yourself! In chyou know in your soul that you, too, will be old and vulnerable to the power of adult children. Therefore, allowing rudeness and disrespect for parents, you yourself trigger internal anxiety. After all, years later, your children or daughters-in-law will also be rude to you. And you, worn out in labor and care for children, weak and sick, will suffer from the inattention and arrogance of the young. The “I am better than you” attitude is pride. We are all different and no one is perfect. In fairy tales and legends you can read how the spirits of the proud are punished. In the story about princesses and princes, the wisdom of the people conveyed the idea of the importance of humility and respect. Therefore, thank the Higher powers for the hint, grow spiritually. Then you will reap sweet fruits in the future.
The husband's first wife is also the eldest in relation to you. That is the order. Respect her and everything will be fine.
A year ago I got married. I live in my husband's house, a three-story cottage. In the house I heard a rustle, trampling. I feel someone's presence, a gaze. The further, the worse! About a month I woke up because of the obvious and loud creaking of the stairs. But no one was there. A couple of days ago, I woke up from the fact that they threw my phone on the bedside table. My husband is sleeping next to me and there is a child in the cradle, there is no one to make fun of me. Heard clearly, my daughter woke up from this roar. Husband doesn't care. He does not hear anything and says that my roof is just going crazy. I'm on sedatives. I think this brownie does not accept me. I am the second wife in this house, but the first was just no. The house was always srach. Nothing was cooked, a mountain of dishes in the sink. Neither the house nor the owner of the house were well maintained. After the appearance of me in the house, everything changed, I am a fan of cleanliness. I'm always clean and always ready. Meeting my husband from work.
4. Hidden negativity
As a psychologist who counsels parents, I often hear stories about fears and nightmares that torment children. I'll just give a couple of examples. The boy Sasha is 5 years old, he sees a brownie in the new house. The little man who hides behind the door. And Sasha can’t poop, mom buys the strongest laxatives, but even they don’t help. We go around in circles for a long time, trying to understand the reasons. And then I ask you to simply place wooden blocks of different colors on the leaf. And we see that dad is standing next to Sasha's problems. And my mother is as far away as possible, although in words she is worried about her son, she was tormented by endless washing. And mom says: “Dad beats his son terribly. And dad was often beaten as a child. And my parents beat me.” A huge family layer of fear, helplessness, sadism, to which everyone turns a blind eye, opens the door to the other world. Another example. Nine-year-old Olya is afraid to be alone at home, waiting for her mother at the entrance. Sleeping with the lights on. And six months later, mom finds out that dad has had another woman for a long time. He wants a divorce. The peace in the family is crumbling. Dad left, mom - in severe depression, seeks help from psychiatrists and magicians. Heavy, but hidden from consciousness, can come to us at night and even frighten us during the day. Here a woman writes about a terrible brownie, and not a word about dad, who deprived them of their home, doomed his wife and daughter to decades of wandering around rented apartments.
I was six years old. I went to the toilet at night. Everywhere I turn on the light so that it is fearless and not dark. I'm already back in my bed. I just want to turn off the light, when a male voice says to me: “Tanya, do you want me to tell you something?” I say yes". He appears. As tall as a closet, and says: "I'll kill you!" And disappears. I shout at the whole apartment, my mother runs up to calm me down. Then, maybe about a year later, my parents divorced. My mother and I moved to another apartment. We lived there for 7 years, nothing bothered me. Then it so happened that dad sold the apartment in which we all once lived. Sold to my friend. I got pregnant and we had to look for a two-room apartment. We asked to rent the same apartment where we used to live. Time passed, my mother and husband moved there. And about six months later, the brownie began to come to me again almost every day. For example, I am sitting at 5 in the morning, feeding the child, and then, for no reason at all, the heater itself turns on. I got scared. Then the lamp itself turned on and off. It was like in the kitchen, as if someone was washing the dishes, rumbles there. It was also that someone was climbing on the legs. From that moment I sleep with light and with a TV. I can't even sleep because I'm scared. I sit and try not to think about it. And still something clicks in the kitchen, walks. I'm afraid.
5. Sign of a change in fate
The site has a large selection of stories about which, as people say, the brownie reports when he comes at night. Sometimes “for good”: a major purchase, a move, a new job, the birth of a baby. Or “for worse”: illness of a loved one, separation, criminal case, major conflict, quarrel. For some reason, this reason is considered the most common, so everyone starts to worry and wait for any events. Very often, the brownie strangles to marriage. But there is a rational explanation for such a coincidence: having suffered fear, a girl will more readily run after any the right man, just do not go to bed alone and wait for adventure. The witness herself has several examples when only a brownie could drive a girl out of the house in marriage. Otherwise, princes would be expected until old age, such a character.
I lived with Aunt Tanya for 2-3 years. One night I wake up to the fact that my bed is shaking and something is pressing on my chest. To wake up, I woke up, but I can’t open my eyes, as if the eyelids were glued together. I immediately remembered Aunt Tanya, with whom I lived, she once told me that a brownie lives in her apartment. When he comes, you need to ask for worse or for better. I asked, he answered me: “To hoodoo!” With such a howl and cold. She jumped out of bed, turned on the lights everywhere: nothing and no one. I couldn't sleep that night anymore. Everyone thought that I already had this, most likely the brownie is kicking me out of this apartment and I will soon move. And so it happened. I met a guy a month later, and after 2 months we decided to move in and live together. I moved in with him. But the thought of this “for worse” did not give me rest. Only a few years later I realized that the brownie most likely warned me not to mess with this guy. At first, we lived well with him, but then he began to drink, to raise his hand against me. I often went to my friends, to my mother when he was drinking. In the end, we broke up with him because of all this and because of his drunken betrayal. Before we parted, for three months, my sofa was also shaking. My husband and I slept on the same couch, but he did not feel anything. I immediately realized that we would break up and I would move.
6 Anniversary Syndrome
This concept became known thanks to the book Ancestral Syndrome by the French psychotherapist Anne Ancelin Schutzenberger. She describes stories when significant events repeat in people in the same period. For example, men get into serious accidents or undergo operations as soon as they turn 45. Or (there is a story on the network) all women of the family at 22 experience difficult stories related to motherhood. Their grandmother, at the age of 22, left a newborn child in the forest, he died. It is necessary to analyze, remembering all the significant events in the family, what important and difficult things your family had to endure on these dates. Sometimes the answer is obvious, and that's good. After all, realizing the connection of your fears and nightmares with the fate of loved ones, you exclude the possibility of a repetition of the event. You can ask for help. This is a letter from Evgenia, in which she talks about a terrible man in her bed:
I experienced a real horror today and with fear I await the coming of the night. I woke up at 1.30, I feel that someone painfully runs a fist along the back of my head. I sleep with one hand under my pillow. I move this hand under the pillow towards the back of the head and grope for a MAN'S HAND. VERY HARD AND COLD, AFTER THAT IT SHARPLY BUGS ON ME FROM THE SIDE OF THE BACK AS LIKE A MAN AND PRESSES ME STRONGLY INTO THE BED. I TRY TO SCREAM "LORD!" BUT I CAN'T EVEN DO MY MOUTH NORMALLY, I SCREAM IN MY MIND! AND EVERYTHING DISAPPEARED. THE FEELINGS WAS REAL. I turned on the light and was afraid to fall asleep. EVEN THE SON WITH HER HE PLACED, SO ALL NIGHT AND WAS LAYING WITH THE NIGHT LIGHT ON AND CLUTCHING TO HER CHILD. It was very scary. I recently turned 40 years old. I am experiencing this date very hard, not so much because of aging, but because my mother hanged herself at the age of 40. A year after her death, her father died.
And another important point. Emotional following of a relative who passed away early does not allow one to realize oneself in full force. Otherwise, being happy, you seem to become a traitor to memory. And such loyalty to suffering, death, also blurs the border, causing strong feelings of despair, hopelessness and horror. Then the otherworldly becomes normal. Evgenia writes about the strongest heartache and great love for my mother, which is felt in every word of her letter:
I really have fear and anxiety inside me that I could unwittingly program myself to die at the age of 40. After the death of my parents, when I was left completely alone, I had to seek help from a psychotherapist and receive medication for a severe form of depression, there were also suicide attempts . But at one point - I made a vow to myself - after all, my mother lived to be 40 years old, so I should suffer at least until 40. And believe it or not, all my next 20 years were real torment and suffering (a sadistic husband, a car accident in which they miraculously survived with their little son, my eldest daughter was also hit by a car and also miraculously escaped with minor injuries, the betrayal of a loved one with all the attendant unpleasant events and experiences). Moreover, all my life I have been tormented by thoughts about my mother - from guilt to terrible longing. I keep thinking: why didn’t I notice how bad she was, why she didn’t help, why she acted so terribly with me. And now every day the thought: that she is in her last days was like I am now, what did she think, what did she feel?
7. Inability to arrange a personal life
This is a common cause of bizarre mystical experiences, eliciting angry reactions from some readers every time I write about it. It happens that the structure of a woman's personality is too infantile. He is anxious and not independent, but at the same time makes high demands on loved ones. A thirty-year-old “baby”, waiting for care from others, beautiful deeds and words, gifts, and instantly indignant if they need something. Few of the men will be satisfied with this version of the wife, and the relationship, of course, is doomed to failure. And time after time, all attempts to arrange the fate of such a lady end in an ugly parting. Then, due to excessive mental stress, such effects arise. If we analyze the context of the situation a little deeper, it often turns out that during this period, relations with some man were once again damaged. Here is one example. A woman writes on the forum, from whom her husband left after six years of marriage, leaving her with a young son:
I always sleep with my back against the wall. According to Feng Shui, leaving half the bed free, you give the best man the opportunity to come into your life. And today, through a dream, I heard my mother's steps, as she got up and went to the kitchen. Then the light went out. And suddenly I feel like something slipped into the bed and lay down in an empty place !! I am terrified! My body is so tight that I can't move. She began to whisper a prayer, slowly let go. And again - already under my blanket - something is messing around! It’s as if he runs so small across the room and slinks into my bed. I couldn't sleep anymore. It was very creepy. What does visiting a brownie mean? I think it's his work. The renovation in the bathroom bothered him. The uncle, who did repairs with us, all the time complimented me. And I don’t care about everything, if only the repairs were completed. And the day before, before this very “side-laying”, I just gave one uncle at work a turn from the gate, so now he barely greets.
The nightmare happened after the repair, during which a worker flirted with her. Of course, he did it, because he saw the pleasure from the woman. She was pleased. See how devaluing and arrogant the girl writes about men: “uncle”, “uncle”, “I didn’t give a damn.” And at night it was covered with strange sensations. With irritation and hostility, she writes about her mother, the only close person, which also knocks out care, pleasant words with scandals and constantly devalues help:
I can't build a relationship with my own mother. Constant conflicts, chronic complaints on her part about her own precious health. When trying to call an ambulanceit becomes easier for her. And he sits with my child ... They go out only late in the evening, when the children from the playground are already going to bed at home. To my question “whether they walked today,” a tantrum rolls up on the topic “I’m dying here, and you are baking, whether he walked or not, not to ask his mother how she feels.”I felt sorry for my mother, my father was buried long ago, my brother lives separately. Don't leave her alone. When I got married, I wanted to rent an apartment with my husband. So mom lay down on the sofa and began to “die”. So they all began to live together. Result: I am divorced, from morning to night at work in an attempt to feed myself, my mother and son. And frantically trying to save money for their own housing. Moreover, labels are beginning to stick to my son, that he is such and such, spoiled and so on. And when she wanted to send her to kindergarten, so my mother repeated the scene on the sofa with dying. I don’t even stutter about the arrangement of my personal life with her: the hysteria begins such that my nervous system simply fails. And everything on the topic that she is brazenly used, not appreciated, not loved, they want to throw her out of her own apartment. And when I buy something for her or take her to rest, then it comes back to me: “I could not have done this, I didn’t ask you.”
In most cases in such stories, strange mystical visitations have a long history. In childhood, there were fears, tormented by sleep paralysis:
I am a nervous lady, such nightmares have haunted me since childhood. I'll be leaving for a long time. Since childhood, I have experienced such that the bed under me is shaking, I can’t even lift a finger, and it’s dark around. Then it was at the institute. I'll start reading "Our Father", it helps. I jump up and run to my mother to cry. She always washed me with holy water. And I'm already calmer, I go to bed further. And this time I saw with my own eyes how something ran across the room, darted into my bed. Then he began to fiddle with me under the covers. And prayer didn't help. I bought an icon of All Saints, with burning incense I walked around the whole apartment, the lamp in front of the images burned all night. I want to clear my apartment.
If a brownie leans in, strangles, paralyzes, and this happens at the moment of falling asleep or when you wake up (often during daytime sleep and when a person sleeps on his back), then such conditions are most often associated with a sleep disorder -. Don't get caught up in mysticism. Perhaps this is a symptom of heart disease, hidden depression, chronic stress. The site has a large selection of articles on this topic.
But what to do and how to behave when meeting with astral beings when they came to our house?
You can often hear such conversations of people that some strange things are happening in their apartments. Something suddenly falls and breaks, then someone flashes by, or even completely, it seems that someone else is in the next room or in the bathroom. Especially often such phenomena occur at night, when someone wakes up in a dream with a completely real tangible touch. In this case, knowledgeable people say that a brownie has settled in the apartment.
Who is a brownie? It is believed that this is the spirit of the house and it is said that it appears where people live for a long time. They also say that no house can stand without a brownie. Only in one house can there be a good spirit, and in another - an evil one. Brownie is not material, but is a bunch of invisible energy. But it is believed that small children can see it. Drawing the appearance of a brownie, they say that he is small in stature, no more than a meter, more often dressed in a gray sheepskin coat, a large hat and mittens, reminiscent of Santa Claus.
If you believe the legends, then people in ancient times believed that the brownie was often associated with evil spirit. And if the brownie was hostile to the owner of the dwelling, then he could negatively affect his livestock in the barn, and also bring great losses to the entire household. Therefore, the owner of the house, if he felt that the brownie was hostile to him, brought him various sacrifices. They put, for example, a slice of bread or pour milk into a saucer.
All sorts of rituals were developed, communicating with a brownie who considers himself the owner of the house and wants it to always be clean and comfortable. When everything is in order and clean in the house, then the brownie loves the owner of such a house and helps him in every possible way, preventing fires and theft of property, helping to find the missing things. To do this, he just had to ask about it: “Owner-priest, help, tell me where any thing lies ...”.
As a rule, the brownie comes at night. At night, for the first time, I met the brownie at home, when one day I opened my eyes and saw dark silhouette filling the entire doorway. Knowledgeable people they said that such meetings are harbingers of some events and one must ask the one who appeared for “good” or “bad” this creature appeared. To my question, on what occasion did the representative parallel world, the creature answered in a booming guttural voice "for worse."
Literally the next day my friend's father died. The night visitor stood at the door and was not going to leave anywhere, I was not “easy” and had to drive the uninvited guest, using obscene expressions. Grandmothers, who know all the wisdom of communicating with spirits, say that the brownie leaves when they start cursing him. My uninvited guest also left, but at the same time I noted that it was very difficult for me to pronounce any word, my whole body was paralyzed, and my tongue barely turned in my mouth.
The second meeting with the brownie happened when I spent the night in the apartment of my friend. In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard some sounds in the next room, it seemed that a child was playing there, throwing a celluloid ball on the floor, which rolled around the room with a characteristic sound. And as soon as I realized this, there were sounds of bare feet, as if a child playing in the next room ran from there to the room in which I was with my wife.
The sound of a running child's feet ran into the room and stopped beside the bed. And then suffocation came over me. I had a lucid dream, as psychologists say, when a sleeping person understands that he is sleeping and that all the events that he sees occur in a dream. I understood that I was dreaming and was clearly aware that I needed to wake up in order to get rid of the nightmare, which I tried to do. But the body was like wood, and I could neither move nor say anything.
My wife was lying quietly next to me, and I thought about her at least pushing me so that I could wake up. But the miracle did not happen, and with great difficulty I had to try to break the invisible fetters and utter at least one word in an unruly tongue. I did not know prayers then, and the first word that I tried to pronounce was obscene, with which I tried to send the brownie to where he came from. After I managed to utter one word, and then a few more similar words, the brownie disappeared.
Science recognizes that a sleeping person can be aware that he is in a dream. This state is called a lucid dream, in which a person is aware that he is dreaming, and can, to one degree or another, control its content. Lucid dreams can begin either during normal sleep, when the sleeping person eventually becomes aware that they are dreaming, or directly from the waking state without a temporary loss of awareness. Some reach the point where they experience sleep paralysis.
Sleep paralysis is a frightening feeling of lack of control over the body, when sleep is very light and the person suddenly becomes aware that he cannot move. In this state, a person cannot even speak, and there may be a feeling of the presence of extraneous entities in the room. Sleep paralysis is one of the most terrifying experiences a person can have in life, waking up suddenly to find themselves in a helpless state surrounded by some inhuman phenomena.
At its core, sleep paralysis is a normal biological event, designed by nature so that the human body does not work from the impulses received in sleep. As in the case of a severe psychosis, something is blocked in the head so that the person cannot harm himself. It is believed that the causes of sleep paralysis lie in the malfunction of the nervous system of the person himself, when there is a desynchronization of the process of turning on consciousness and turning on the motor system of the body. The absence of movement indicates that a person has begun to realize reality, he has already woken up and his physical body while still sleeping.
So the science says, but what to do when we wake up in a state of sleep paralysis? Can it be overcome? And the very first advice of experts, which a normal person is not able to fulfill, is not to fight. If you get the feeling that someone is holding you and you can't break free, don't try to fight the holding force. Victor Hugo described the state of a person who fell into the arms of an octopus and the same advice - do not fight. Fighting the paralysis will only increase the intensity of the terror.
As in the fight against an octopus, you will try to escape, and the pressure on you will increase and it may seem that something is pressing or choking you to such an extent that your body has fallen into a steel vise. From this, emotions intensify even more, and terrible experiences become extremely realistic. Psychologists advise not to allow the horror to increase, and learn to manage your fear, become passive and go with the flow, and instead of futile attempts to escape, you should try to relax.
It is advisable to start relaxing as soon as the state of sleep paralysis has arisen, and make a statement to yourself: "I'm fine, this is sleep paralysis, and it will pass soon." And if there is a feeling of pressure on the chest, then you should try to mentally push yourself in the direction of this pressure. For example, when the body is pressed into the mattress of the bed or dragged by the leg, one must imagine one's intention to sink into the bed, or slide in the direction of the force that is pulling from the bed.
Well said, but how to do it when sleep paralysis takes over the stomach, chest or throat? They say that it helps to shift your attention from the squeezed parts of the body to the ends of the limb, for example, to the feet. And you should try to move your toe or twist your foot or shift the focus of attention from one limb to another. If this does not work, you need to move your attention to your palms, squeezing and unclenching the brush into a fist.
Offer to focus on your breathing or rely on absolute love and call for help Higher power representing the embodiment of the absolute. And other similar tips that sound at the level of delirium, when at worst you need to remember your earthly love, and try to recreate the feeling of beauty in your memory when you communicate with your loved one. And all this for a person experiencing fear and horror at the possibility of dying or going crazy.
It is not for nothing that grandmothers apparently advise using the only real method of communication, with unknown forces acting immediately and without fail. Math is, to varying degrees, the spoken language of the village population, who is not up to pretentious and ornate vocabulary expressions and invented terms designed to smooth out a strong expression. Checkmate is the easiest thing that a terrified person can remember from the whole long list of methods offered by scientists to get rid of stupor and nightmare.
Sleep paralysis happens in one of two cases. If it occurs at the moment of falling asleep, it is called hypnagogic or semi-conscious sleep paralysis. If it happens at the moment of awakening, it is hypnopompic sleep paralysis. In the medical literature, the symptoms of sleep paralysis have been described for a long time and often associated with the presence of "evil": in ancient times, "evil" was the invisible demons of the night, old witches, evil creatures that terrorize helpless people at night.
Therefore, the methods of dealing with paralysis were not entirely scientific. For example, a technique similar to the method of focusing on the limbs, but working a little differently. To do this, you need to fold your fingers into a figure called a fig (fig) or transfer your attention to your face and make a few grimaces, as if you sniffed something disgusting and vile. You have to make a face of disgust two or three times, and sleep paralysis should let go of your body.
Feelings of an invisible force in a person can be different, for example, once, when I was walking home late at night, a shadow from a lantern jumped on me. I explained this fact to myself by an optical illusion, when on both sides of the lantern there were other sources of illumination located on trolleybus poles. Psychics then determined that there were no corruption replants, but the sensations of the jumping shadow were real.
Continuing the theme of brownies, one can note such facts that all stories related to astral and other aliens are collected in the so-called "Village magic", where there was advice for any occasion, for example, how to cut a child's fetters or where to put a fallen milk tooth. And even during scientific progress, people occasionally look into this treasury of ancient knowledge, which also contains all the necessary information about brownies.
For example, tips on how to determine that you have a brownie or what you need to do to expel or, on the contrary, attract a brownie. Here are all the necessary spells. For example: "My master, come to my house, be always with me, here is your home ...". And when they move to new house they also call the brownie with them: “Father is my master, good brownie. I will give you new mansions, bright chambers ... ".
They say it's better not to get involved with brownies - he will survive from home.
Perhaps the first place among the stories of the supernatural passed from mouth to mouth is occupied by stories about brownies. What are they not doing! And they make noise at night, frightening the owners, and they make a mess, and they hide things ... The centuries-old experience of coexistence with such "guests" helped to develop a kind of etiquette for communicating with these otherworldly creatures. But no one really knows anything about their nature. Someone claims that these are restless souls who, due to sins, cannot get into afterworld, someone considers them to be entities from the lower astral dimension, an evil spirit. And someone is convinced that these are representatives of some parallel civilization, capable of becoming invisible. "Bloody hell!" As you know, brownies often prophesy some events, most often misfortunes. A young woman Elena from the Trans-Baikal village of Kharanor says: “My troubles began in February 2004. We then moved into a two-room comfortable apartment. One evening, when my husband Andrei was away, I, as always, put the children to bed and went to bed by myself. As I fell asleep, I felt that someone was standing next to me. I ask through a dream: who is here? When I heard the ominous "Ah?" - numb. And then someone heavy fell on me, began to choke. I remember his tightly compressed lips, hooked bird nose. She began to lose consciousness ... And yet she jumped out of bed, barely overpowering her fear. Turned on the light - no one. My neck hurt terribly. She went to the mirror to look, and saw a long, bright red scratch, such as a cat's paw can leave. But we don't have a cat. Once the husband, waking up in the middle of the night, saw a human figure at the table. Remembering the instructions of the old people, he asked: “Is this for worse or for good?” The brownie answered in a deaf voice, as if coming from under the ground: “For worse!” And then on Youth Day, at a mass festivity, where we went with the whole family, tipsy guys stuck to my friend’s husband. And Andrei interceded, as a result he received a knife wound in the chest. Play - and give again! Even brownies like to hide, and then again “put” in place various items. Raisa S. recalls: “I had a beautiful beaded purse. I always carried it with me. Once I received a salary, at home before going to bed I began to sort things out in my purse and found out that there was no wallet with money! Searched, searched - did not find. In the afternoon I interviewed all my colleagues at work, but no one saw my wallet. On that I calmed down. True, I had one assumption: I secretly sinned against my son-in-law. With this thought, I went to bed. And before dawn I see a dream. It’s as if someone’s hand is holding out a wallet to me, and a male voice is heard: “Here, take it, open it, but don’t think badly of others.” From this voice I woke up, jumped up, rushed to my purse, opened it, and the wallet was on top, and all my salary was intact to the penny! Alyosha the healer In some cases, brownies are kind to people: they even treat human diseases! Tamara P. had a similar experience: “Once I realized that some invisible creature lives in my apartment. Before making contact with me, it emits a garlicky smell. I lie down for a minute or two and feel someone's heart beating on my hand. If I feel hot, I feel pleasantly cool, and vice versa. The care of Alyosha (as I call my uninvited lodger) was most fully manifested during the period when I was conducting a healing procedure to cleanse the liver - I drank a mixture consisting of vegetable oil and lemon juice. Once, after taking this medicine, I felt nauseous. Then Alyosha gently scratched my hand with his claws, lay down on my chest, and the nausea stopped. "Crushes and chokes" Unfriendly brownies are very fond of choking or crushing people, sometimes with sexual intentions. “It happened at noon,” says a girl named Liana. - I was at home alone and watched TV. Suddenly, it began to turn off and on again - the electricity went haywire, and after a while it was completely cut out. And only in our apartment. Soon I was drawn to sleep, there was some kind of fatigue. I lie down on the sofa, look towards the door and see: a cat is coming up to the headboard. I just wanted to put my hand down and stroke it - disappeared. I look around - the cat is sleeping, curled up, on the other side of the room. I think it's a glitch... I closed my eyes and fell asleep. But something bothered me in my sleep, I felt that something was interfering... I opened my eyes: on the left, leaning on me, lies a translucent man. He put his left leg on top, and hugs my chest with his left hand. Fear gripped me. She tried to scream - in vain, her voice disappeared. And do not even lift a finger - the body does not obey. She closed her eyes and said: "Stay away from me!" The figure is gone." Brownie survives According to legend, if the brownie dislikes anyone, expect trouble. Tatyana from Chita was almost driven to suicide by the mystical "owner"! “As I fell asleep, I felt as if someone lightly blew in my face. Deciding that it was a draft, she calmly fell asleep. The next night the breath was repeated, although, oddly enough, the window was closed. I was already asleep when I was awakened by the birds living in the next room. They tossed about restlessly in the cage, uttering alarm cries. Turning on the night light, I went out into the corridor and heard someone's steps and indistinct muttering... Fear overwhelmed me. I grabbed a knife in the kitchen, put it under my pillow, and after that everything became calm. And in the morning I found kitchen table a children's shovel, the place of which is in the corridor. Neither I nor my five-year-old son put it there... With the approach of night, my soul felt somehow painful. There was a feeling that there was someone unkind nearby. When I went to bed, I was seized by an inexplicable fear. Turning her gaze to the window, she suddenly realized that salvation was there. You just need to make up your mind and step into the black hole. Only when she heard how her little son turned in his sleep did she come to her senses. What attracts brownies? Probably, readers have already noted one regularity of our narration: all narrators are women. So, maybe the point is the susceptibility inherent in the fair sex? Although in one of the stories the husband of the heroine also observed a strange creature ... According to legends, brownies live in every dwelling. But why can't everyone see them? Why are some people unaware of the presence of these “settlers”, while others are constantly disturbed by them? Parapsychologists believe that some people really attract brownies. In all likelihood, these are those who have psychic abilities. In addition, there are "restless" houses where the brownie is rowdy. These entities can haunt the inhabitants of the house if there is a dysfunctional energy, or on the eve of some events, for example, misfortune or death of one of the owners or their relatives. In any case, if you have a brownie, you should listen to him: clean the energy of the apartment, in other words, sanctify it. It would be nice to go to church and pray. After all, otherworldly forces will not just knock on our lives!
