COURSE
Sleep Chronicles: Bedtime Stories To Calm Your Restless Wandering Mind
With Saqib and Charles
In this course, you will have two teachers, Saqib and Charles, guiding you into sleep. The teachers alternate in telling you a story that builds with each session. The deepening story will create a sort of muscle memory in your mind to help you stop thinking, let go of what you're holding onto, and open up into dreamy relaxation. To begin each session, the teachers guide you through relaxation of the mind and body. Then, they share a deepening story in which the main character is in search of Truth, the underlying Truth of existence, and she is repeatedly surprised by what she finds. Each session acts as a chapter that both stands alone and is part of the larger whole. To finish each session, we leave you in silence with music that was created specifically to facilitate deep sleep. We encourage you to listen through each session for the full effect, and ultimately to repeat the ones that work especially well for you. Thank you for joining us!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course, but I will have to listen to it many times again and again, as I fall asleep everytime. Thank you for taking the time to present this story. I look forward to hearing it again

It was so relaxing that I would find myself falling asleep sometimes about 10 minutes into the fantasy story. I would always go back the next day to repeat the course. Just so relaxing. Looking forward to the next set of stories.

This course was so good because I literally can’t tell you anything about the story as I’ve fallen asleep every night before it’s really got going and then have slept far more soundly. Thank you.
