10 Days To Better Sleep

This 10-day course shares four of my personal approaches to accessing deep, restorative sleep. We discuss, consider, and explore: releasing resistance, engaging sensuality, gathering evidence of our natural ability to sleep, and embracing our unique sleep rhythm.

If you are weary, frustrated, and tired of trying to get some relief, welcome. If you are curious about new ways to deepen and enrich your sleep, you’re in the right place. This course utilizes all your senses, your imagination, and the power of self-inquiry.

Over 10 days, I share a bit about my relationship with sleep and guide you to discover your own. This course invites you to move beyond what you’ve been told about how to sleep, how much to sleep, what qualifies as good or bad sleep, and encourages you to open to your own innate knowing of how sleep works for you.

Please note that this course is provided solely for educational and entertainment purposes, and is not intended as a substitute for the medical recommendations of physicians, mental health professionals, or other healthcare providers.

Leçon 1: Our Shared Story Of Sleep

On Day 1, we talk about what you can expect from this course: Who am I and how am I qualified to talk about sleep? [hint: I’m human and need to sleep, just like you. I also have a unique sleep pattern, and although you may not realize it, so do you.]

We’ll also overview each day’s topic, discuss what might be challenging and how to move through it, and we’ll experiment with our innate ability to work with sleep energy.

Leçon 2: Releasing Resistance To Sleep

On Day 2, we discuss what we mean by resistance to sleep, why it matters, and explore how it might show up for you. We talk about the simple fact that just the word “sleep” carries energy and can be loaded with emotion.

Day 2 creates space for us to recognize how our reactions to thinking and talking about sleep may be keeping us from our best experience of it.

Leçon 3: Releasing Resistance To Sleep: The Exploration

On Day 3, we move a little deeper into the energy of resistance in order to develop our ability to detect it and easily release it. Resistance to sleep is a natural reaction to everyday stress but it doesn’t have to be our habitual response.

Day 3 offers the opportunity to practice noticing and releasing resistance using visualization and movement that anchors the body.

Leçon 4: The Sensuality Of Sleep

Day 4 is a beautiful, soulful experience of discovering the sensuality of sleep. We begin with defining for ourselves the meaning of sensuality. What does sensuality mean to you? Is the experience of sensuality something you shy away from or something you embrace?

Today's session is a delicious sampling of opportunities for self-discovery, and better understanding the unexpectedly sensual path to sleep.

Leçon 5: The Sensuality Of Sleep: The Exploration

Day 5 creates space to deepen our experience of the sensuality of sleep. Did you notice any resistance? Did something surprising and wonderful show up for you? This session is all about bringing a new openness to the pleasure of sleep and if necessary, offers the opportunity to practice dissolving any resistance that may linger.

Leçon 6: Gathering Evidence Of Our Natural Ability

Day 6 reminds us that we already have an intimate experience with sleep and offers the opportunity to revisit memories of nourishing sleep. In this session, we consider past sleep habits in relation to current ones. What’s different? Why?

We also discuss the current trend to ‘clean up your sleep or sleep clean’ and whether or not it impacts your specific relationship with sleep.

Leçon 7: Gathering Evidence: The Exploration

On Day 7, we explore the truth of our natural ability to sleep. We practice accessing soothing, nourishing memories of sleep which can act as distinct guides back to the simplicity of sleep. Once again, we breathe into the possibility of resistance, old judgments about sleep, and our willingness to choose ease over suffering to arrive in peaceful sleep.

Leçon 8: Honoring Our Natural Sleep Rhythm

On Day 8, we consider the idea that everyone has a unique sleep rhythm, that a one-size-fits-all sleep formula may not be accurate. Who are you in your relationship with sleep? How are you in your relationship with sleep?

Regardless of whether or not these questions confuse or interest you, Day 8 will offer a serious opportunity for shifting how you think about your sleep.

Leçon 9: Honoring Our Natural Sleep Rhythm: The Exploration

Fabulous! Day 8 created a major shift in how you think about sleep! Now what? Today, we hone your unique sleep story. We articulate what worked for you in the preceding days and nights of this course.

What did you notice? What does that mean for you and your experience of consistent, restorative sleep?

Leçon 10: Closing The Course As Your Sleep Story Continues

Day 10 is a summary of the course and a final anchoring of your unique sleep story. We’ll explore one last shared experience of working with the energy of sleep. As we close the course, we’ll illuminate a few next steps of support as you continue cultivating a welcoming, peaceful relationship with sleep.

Reviews

Appreciate your sharing of knowledge, this is very helpful to me 🙏

Just discovered tonight that I never completed Day 10 of this course-apparently because I'm sleeping better and have accepted and integrated my own unique sleep patterns. Thank you!

Terrific course on sleep—I got some insights I had never encountered anywhere else. Thank you!

Really good session. Perhaps the best one about sleep.
Thank you so much!

This course was delightfully surprising! I was skeptical but it had me shift my perspective and I was shocked to begin getting better sleep right away, just by being willing to think differently about my sleep. Thank you, Bethany, so much! You are a sleep angel.

This course presents a unique perspective on sleep. Not at all what I expected, but so much more!
Thank you so much

I heard and still hear your guided meditations for sleep and I love them so I was excited when I saw this course. I’m deeply grateful, you helped to reconnect with the sensuality of sleeping, how to enjoy it and also to realize how resistant I was to sleep by obsessing with it. I struggled so many years with my sleep. Thank you so much for all your guided meditations and your course 🙏

Engaging guiding and new mental perspectives on sleep difficulties.
🙏

Excellent course.

Already on track to sleeping better with 4 excellent strategies in my arsenal.

This course was life changing for me! Specifically the section on releasing resistance. I am now sleeping much better consistently. I still wake up in the middle of the night but now I usually fall back to sleep pretty quickly. Thank you so much for creating this course!

Great taught me a lot. Thank you! I'll be listening to your great meditations on sleep and life I'm general. 🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏻👼🏽👼🛐⭐️✨️♥️😘

Thank you so much for this course. I’ve already repeated parts and will continue to revisit. Reframing beliefs around sleep will require some repetition for me but well worth it. Already experiencing better sleep for several nights.

Truly innovative and different than other sleep courses with no cookie-cutter generalities and one-size-fits-all mentality. Highly recommended for those open to more self-awareness and discovery which leads to better sleep and a better life all-around. Give it a go if you’re still having sleep problems.

Love the soothing voice and loved the message. Thank you

This was great - I’m sleeping better and feeling better about my unique sleep pattern. Thanks!

This course was a great help to me in reframing my sleep experience.

This was gorgeous. Just what I needed. What a soft and soothing voice. Talking slowly. Loving it.

Great journey into your own sleep patterns and habits

I truly benefited from this course. I learned to accept that I might not fit into a conventional mold of sleep. My pattern is unique to me, especially now, after the loss of my precious husband and lover, Denny. I found some things in this course, that have and still are, helping me. I can allow myself whatever is needed. That includes an hour here or there of sleeping. Or I can get up in the middle of the night, when needed, and just stay up, if that’s what it takes. Thank you. 🍃🌸🍃

Excellent.
