5-Tage-Kurs

Easing An Anxious Mind For Sleep

Von Eve Lewis

Was du lernen wirst

This gentle 5-session mindfulness course is designed to gently ease anxiety and support more restful sleep. Across the series, you’ll be guided through focused attention, calming breathwork, body‑based relaxation, noting, and compassion practices that help settle a busy mind and signal safety to the nervous system at night. These practices are designed to be done before bed, during nighttime awakenings, or anytime your mind feels restless, and you can repeat them as many times as you need, so these tools become familiar, supportive companions rather than one‑off techniques. Eve gently guides you through each session with a kind and validating tone that is grounded in an understanding of how anxiety and self‑criticism affect sleep, helping you shift from striving and frustration toward softness, permission, and genuine rest so that you not only fall asleep but stay asleep and wake up feeling rested and refreshed.

Lektion 1

Settling The Mind For Sleep

Session 1 introduces a gentle, focused attention practice to help settle a busy, anxious mind at bedtime by anchoring awareness in the body, breath, and music. You’ll be guided to shift from thinking mode into sensing mode, releasing effort and pressure around sleep so that your nervous system can begin to unwind.

Lektion 2

Calming The Nervous System For Sleep

Session 2 introduces a gentle mindful breathing practice to help calm an over‑alert nervous system and prepare the body for sleep. You’ll be guided to soften the breath, rest attention on a slow, easy out‑breath, and return kindly whenever the mind wanders, sending the message that it is safe to slow down and rest.

Lektion 3

Releasing The Body For Sleep

Session 3 offers a gentle body scan to help release the physical tension that anxiety can leave in the body at the end of the day. Moving slowly from the feet to the head, you’ll be guided to soften tight muscles, feel the support beneath you, and invite a deep sense of ease into the mind and body, creating the conditions for sleep to arrive naturally.

Lektion 4

Letting Go Of Night Time Thoughts

Session 4 introduces a gentle “noting” practice to help you relate differently to nighttime thoughts, rather than trying to stop them or push them away. You’ll be guided to notice thoughts and emotions as they arise, lightly label them, and return to the breath and body, reducing their grip on your nervous system so the mind can soften and make more space for rest.

Lektion 5

Softening Into Sleep

Session 5 introduces a compassion-based “loving kindness” practice to soften self-criticism and inner pressure around sleep. You’ll be guided to offer kind wishes to others and to yourself, gently cultivating warmth, safety, and support so the body can relax more deeply and sleep is invited, rather than forced.
