Sleep Paralysis - Blasting Naad

Today, I found myself lying on my back, trying to get out of bed. I tried to move my body but I felt it was just simply stuck, body was very heavy, it wouldn't let me move, at that point I knew I was having a sleep paralysis from reading some about this stuff. There were times it felt like I succeeded in rolling my body to another position, but then I found myself returned to the back position, and then all of a sudden naad became very very loud blasting out of my ears. And I felt my body especially my head in a very aggressive forceful way crashing/going towards the bed and the vision was very distorted. I saw the room in a kind of yellowish white light. It was like getting an electric shock. After the first wave, there was a second wave.
Very intense, I have read some about sleep paralysis before, so I knew that that is what was happening.
Most likely I experienced the Exploding head syndrome
Note: I have been taking the Ayurvedic Ashwagandha herb for about a week now.

I never used the herb but it is possible that if you mix it into a strong dose it may cause psychic conditions and actions. You should double check to see if others are having those effects and also make an experiment which would be to half the dose you are taking of that herb, then note its effects or lack of effects. Then double the dose and note the effects at that stage. In this way you can check to see if the herb is actually inducing any psychic states.
For any drug or herb which might produce psychic states or which is psycho-active, my advice is to first take half the recommended dose.
Note the effects or lack of effects.
Then take the recommended dose, note those effects.
Then if you are still not getting the buzz or desired effect, then double the dose and see what happens.
By beginning with half the dose you can test to see at first if the dosage is too strong for you. That is a safe way to go about using herb/drugs.
=================================
As you described it, that is a sleep paralysis condition but you were confused in it. In the first place if you are in a sleep paralysis condition, then it means that you cannot move the physical body. Sometimes you cannot move either the physical or subtle body. Usually you can move the subtle body but not the physical one. Usually a movement of the subtle is not accompanied by one of the physical and that causes the person to panic or to get scared.
This is because of not experiencing the normal control which one should have when one is again fused back into the physical. So then if you move, then only the subtle body will move and then quickly you will find that you are back in the compelling sleep paralysis of the physical which did not move. This might cause the mind to panic as a natural response.
You did not describe how you finally got out of the paralysis, as to if that happened by itself. What happened then?
=================================
It is important to use the breath to escape from a sleep paralysis. What you do is hold the breath until you cannot hold it any longer and usually the subtle body will snap back into synchronization with the physical one. I discussed this in the Sleep Paralysis and Astral projection books.
Be sure that the room you are sleeping in has proper ventilation from the outside, so that fresh air enters even in the winter time. Some slight opening in some window should be there. Sleeping in a room where there will be a buildup of stale air will invariable cause sleep paralysis to happen.
And of course liquor, certain herbs, drugs may cause sleep paralysis in which case, to stop it one has to cease taking the specific substance.

The first part I couldn't move the physical body but I could move but very hardly the subtle body, I tried to roll and move as to wake up (in my mind that would be like trying to move the physical body just so I can get out of bed) this is the more confused part, you are semi conscious.
But after that I found myself quite fully conscious on back position and couldn't move my physical body at all, and then those 2 waves of blasting naad and like being forcefully pushed against the bed.
At that point I was quite freaked out even though I knew what was happening, but because it was so intense, part of me freaked out and I tried to scream, I think I felt my mouth moving (probably the subtle mouth) but I felt no voice coming out. After the second wave things calmed down and I tried to say something "hello" and I could hear me saying this.
I finally got out of the sleep paralysis by itself, I felt that my conscious was clear enough and had the will power to get out of bed.
There were parts which were with quite full awareness and some parts less clear, more semi conscious with a foggy kind of mind.

It is not a matter of having the will power to get out of bed. It is a psychic mechanical hook up so that the will power has to be connected to the nerves of the physical body. If it is not connected, even if you have the will power still nothing will happen.
The willpower is there at all times, but it is not always wired into the physical system, so then you feel you have no willpower which is incorrect. You have it but it is not connected. Please try to understand this clearly.
If you have twenty US dollars and you are in a remote village in China where no bank will honor that money, then you do have the money but you cannot use it because the banks there have no direct connection with the US treasury.
This connection business is run by the kundalini life force mechanism. The noises and flashes were operations based more or less on the actions of kundalini in trying to get the subtle body re-synchronized but it was having some problem doing that.
One thing to know is that this happens every time the two bodies separate but this time, you were conscious of it. Mostly you are oblivious of these operations because of being unconscious when these things take place in the psychic dimension.
Keep working on this. You will over time get a handle on it.
