What if the terrifying freeze of sleep paralysis isn’t a disorder—but a doorway?

In this eye-opening episode, consciousness researcher Dr. Sheila Pryce Brooks joins Dr. Bernard Beitman to reframe sleep paralysis as a spiritual threshold, not just a neurological glitch. Drawing from over 30 years of firsthand experience, Sheila shares how these episodes led her toward non-human intelligence, telepathic communication, and profound inner awakening.

If you’ve ever wondered what lies between sleep and waking, this conversation will shift your perspective.
