Lição 2

Establishing A Daily Routine (Dinacharya)

During this Day 2 session, I share concepts from Ayurveda that encourage you to establish a daily routine that is in harmony with the rhythms of the natural world. Honoring these rhythms and integrating other mindful practices into your daily routine will support restful sleep.

Lição 3

Establishing A Bedtime Ritual

In today's session, I will share some suggestions that will help you establish a bedtime ritual. It is important to wind down at the end of your day so that you are relaxed when you go to bed. Slowing down tells your brain that it is time to sleep and rejuvenate.

Lição 4

What To Do When You Awaken In The Middle Of The Night

In this session, I will share suggestions that you can implement to get back to sleep if you awaken in the middle of the night. It can be frustrating to be sleeping soundly, only to awaken in the middle of the night and be unable to get back to sleep. It is important to stay calm when you awaken because worry over getting back to sleep can release cortisol and other stress hormones that make it difficult to return to rest.
