Awakened Sleep:Access Higher Consciousness While You Sleep(Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar & Dr. Sheila Patel)
Thu Dec 04 2025
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 of my curiosity around using sleep as a doorway to transcendental consciousness. The idea that sleep can be a nightly rehearsal for what mystics call "the fourth state" beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep is completely fascinating!
