Awakened Sleep:Access Higher Consciousness While You Sleep(Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar & Dr. Sheila Patel)

Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar is a classically trained Ayurvedic physician known for integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom into contemporary wellness. Dr. Sheila Patel is a board-certified family physician who has served in medical leadership roles within the Chopra Organization. Together, they've written Awakened Sleep, a practical guide for accessing transcendental states during the hours you're already spending asleep.

I felt called to have them on the show because for them sleep isn't just a biological necessity. It's a doorway to transcendental consciousness, a nightly rehearsal for what mystics call "the fourth state" beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep.

In this conversation, we explore that during deep sleep, you naturally drift into states that border on or directly access this transcendental realm. Your senses withdraw automatically. Your thinking mind goes offline. The doorway opens every single night. You're already entering higher states of consciousness. The problem is you're doing it unconsciously.
