Fall deeply asleep with a guided mindfulness meditation on the breath and letting go. Letting go really means letting be. It's one of the foundations of mindfulness. It reminds us not to get too caught up in having things a certain way. Letting go is also about the power of acceptance of the present moment and its contents. Not trying to push the river, but just allowing it to be as it is. You can find more sleep meditations and over 150 quiet bedtime stories at https://www.listentosleep.com.

A sleepy German fairy tale with a dragon, a witch maiden, a magician and of course, our hero. Bodhi and I took a beautiful sunrise walk this week that got me thinking how easy it is to get anxious when we're always focused on the future, and how powerful it is to be in the moment. I wrote a little about it on the blog and posted a picture and some video from our walk. If you're interested, it's at https://www.listentosleep.com/blog/a-new-day/.

Fall deeply asleep with a guided mindfulness meditation on acceptance of the present moment. Acceptance is an active process of recognizing that things are as they are. It can be hard sometimes to accept the way things are, but it gives us a good place to start bringing awareness to the present moment. It can give us access to our innate wisdom and open up new ways of being that can be healing or transformative.
