Try out these foundational Mindfulness of Sleep and Dream practices
4-7-8 Breathing
The 4-7-8 Breathing practice is a natural tranquilizer for the nervous system. Yet unlike tranquilizing drugs, which can lose their power over time and usage, this exercise gains in power with repetition and practice.
Coherent Breathing
Coherent Breathing promotes an optimal autonomic balance, creating a state of mind that is deeply relaxed and mindfully alert at the same time; the perfect combination of relaxation and mental readiness.
Hypnagogic Mindfulness
The hypnagogic state is the transitional state from wakefulness into sleep - the "doorway" into sleep. Learning to rest in this state allows us to become more familiar with this powerful and creative state of mind.
