About this listen

Of all sleep states, sleep paralysis is the most misunderstood — and often the most terrifying. But what if it’s not a malfunction of the brain, but a threshold of contact? Sleep Paralysis News is the podcast redefining what sleep paralysis really is. Through personal stories, expert conversations, and deep inquiry, host Dr. Sheila Pryce Brooks and Cyrus Richardson explore the connection to spirituality, altered states, and even non-human intelligence. From ancestral visitations to quantum possibility, each episode shines a light on what’s long been kept in the dark. Whether you’re an experiencer, a researcher, or spiritually curious, this is your place to hear what no one else is saying — and discover you’re not alone.Copyright 2025 Sheila Pryce Brooks and Cyrus Richardson Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Spirituality

  • Sleep Paralysis & Out-of-Body Experiences: Exploring Consciousness Beyond the Physical Realm
    Jul 27 2024

    In this episode of Sleep Paralysis News, the hosts speak to Josh, who shares his lifelong experiences with sleep paralysis, starting from age 10. He recounts his initial terrifying episode, describing a suffocating weight and the inability to move or call for help. Over the years, Josh experienced around a dozen episodes, some accompanied by vivid auditory hallucinations and even out-of-body experiences. A notable episode involved feeling a light sensation and floating out of his body, offering a profound realisation about consciousness beyond the physical realm. Despite the fear, Josh has found peace with these experiences, viewing them as affirmations of a spiritual existence. He emphasises the importance of discussing sleep paralysis to reduce fear and isolation, advocating for a broader understanding of this mysterious phenomenon.
