Beyond Thoughts - A Journey Into Present Moment Awareness

Beyond Thoughts - A Journey Into Present Moment Awareness

Welcome to this video episode of Listen to Sleep. Today, we're trying something new - a unique, calming meditation session recorded live on my back porch in the heart of Northern California. Accompanied by the peaceful ambient sounds of nature and our newest napping rescue dog, Joey, we delve into a journey of mindfulness. Whether you're here to find serenity before sleep or to center yourself during a busy day, this meditation invites you to simply be present and curious in the moment.

Through focusing on your breath, sensing into the space around you, and fostering a gentle curiosity, this meditation guides you towards a state of tranquility. We explore the power of presence, the art of observing without judgment, and the concept that we are more than our thoughts. This session aims to empower you to get closer to your own truth, discovering answers that come without words, and fostering a sense of oneness with the world around us.

So, settle down comfortably, be it sitting or lying down, and join us for a restful and reflective experience. Remember, there's no need to change anything or wish for something different - just be here, in this very moment.

At ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://awakenyourmyth.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, you can find six free online workshops I put together for you, a distillation of knowledge I’ve gathered over the 40 years. They’re full of practical tools and insights for approaching life as a hero’s journey of untold riches. Please let me know how you like them.

Your support means the world to me, and it's what enables me to continue being your guide to better sleep and meditation. For just $4.99 a month, you'll have immediate access to all 400+ episodes of Listen To Sleep, ad-free with no introductions, and you'll get to listen to new stories and meditations a day before everyone else. And, in response to many requests, I've now organized the stories, meditations and audiobook chapters into their own separate, easy-to-navigate feeds, even on Spotify. To join, or to learn more, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://listentosleep.supportingcast.fm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

You can also support the podcast by leaving a tip, or by purchasing a shareable audiobook from Listen To Sleep Plus. These longer books I've read are a great way to get some extra bedtime stories without a monthly subscription. Each one is available for just $5.50 as chapterized MP3s that will play on any device. You can find them at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.listentosleep.com/store⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Sleep well, friends.💜
