Sleep Paralysis, Shamanism, and Threshold Contact — A Conversation with Rachel White

In this episode of Sleep Paralysis News, Dr Sheila Pryce Brooks and co-host Cyrus speak with shamanic practitioner Rachel White about the deeper dimensions of sleep paralysis and Threshold Contact Experiences (TCEs).

Together, we explore how shamanic frameworks, lived experience, and consciousness studies can help us understand what really happens during sleep paralysis episodes — including out-of-body states, entity encounters, and the perceptual shift that happens when fear dissolves.

Rachel shares her own awakening experiences, her training, and her perspective on working with altered states safely and intentionally. This conversation bridges science, spirituality, and practice, offering new language and understanding for those navigating these phenomena.
