Lição 1

Mindfulness & Sleep

After a brief introduction of what this course is about, we’ll take a closer look at how mindfulness practices and sleep go hand in hand. What is mindfulness, why is sleep important, and how does mindfulness actually help with rest, relaxation, and deep sleep? We’ll scratch the surface of the two modes we operate from in life: doing and being. In order for us to thrive in life and enjoy rest, it is important that we can find a balance between these two modes and learn how to effectively shift between them.

Lição 2

Breathwork & Meditation For Deep Relaxation

Diving deeper into doing and being, and how these two modes we operate from relate to mindfulness practices being used to help with sleep. Both of these modes have a purpose and we are able to live life to the fullest when we can intentionally shift between these two states. Problems with sleep arise when we are getting ready for bed, but our mind and body are still in doing mode. We can shift our state gently to being mode, mode where we are non-judgmentally present, with practices like breathwork and meditation. Example exercises with detailed how-to's will be given for each of these practices.

Lição 3

Deep Relaxation (Guided Meditation)

A guided meditation with breathwork exercises to help you fully relax and unwind in the evening, creating a calming setting to fall asleep with ease.

Lição 4

Reflection Journaling

Different journaling techniques to use that can help reflect on the day behind. Journaling is a powerful tool that can help you transform your worrisome and anxious thoughts into words on a piece of paper, allowing you to distance yourself emotionally, have a wider perspective, and see things more clearly. Reflecting on the day behind allows us to see our day with a fresh, less negatively biased perspective: to see and appreciate the good parts, as they are sometimes clouded by our emotional state, and to learn from our experience. Seeing less than ideal situations as opportunities to grow and learn from is how we shift our perspective, find closure, and allow the day behind us to fade.

Lição 5

Creating An Authentic Evening Ritual

Whether we are aware of it or not, all of us already have some kind of evening routine. On Day 5, we will take a closer look into what that might look like, and how to build an enjoyable and sustainable routine that will invite rest and restful sleep. This is followed by a journaling exercise combined with deep breathing that helps you feel grounded in the present moment and offers honest insight into where you currently are with your evening routine, and what you feel called to change about it.

Concise and effective, surprisingly so for me at first with the many sleep programs on Insight Timer and often not knowing which to choose. This one really cut to the core in a focused way. With gratitude, namaste 🙏

I was able to restart my evening routine in addition to introducing breathing for relaxation as a result of this 5-day course. I’m very grateful. I want able to introduce these changes on my own.
