Listen To Sleep - Quiet Bedtime Stories & Meditations (Erik Ireland)

Great for bedtime or anytime, this meditation helps to ease anxiety and calm the body. 

This weekend's rain made for some beautiful rainbows and the weather was just perfect for the wild roses and the California lilac, both of which have started blooming here on the mountain. I made a little video about it. If you'd like to see it, it's up on TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@listentosleep or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/listentosleep/. 

If the podcast helps you sleep, would you consider supporting it with $3 a month? You'll get new episodes a day earlier with no ads or introductions, an immediate download of the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland audiobook and you'll be helping me to get closer to realizing my dream of having Listen To Sleep be my full-time endeavor. You can join or find more information at https://www.listentosleep.com/support/. 

You can also buy a shareable audiobook of the longer books I read on Listen To Sleep Plus. It's another way to support the podcast and get some extra bedtime stories without a monthly subscription. Each one is available to own for just $5.50 as chapterized mp3s that will play on any MP3 player. You can find them at https://www.listentosleep.com/store.

Fall deeply asleep with a guided mindfulness meditation on the breath and letting go. 

Letting go really means letting be. It's one of the foundations of mindfulness. It reminds us not to get too caught up in having things a certain way. Letting go is also about the power of acceptance of the present moment and its contents. Not trying to push the river, but just allowing it to be as it is.

A sleepy fairy tale about a Celtic princess and the king who will do anything to marry her. 

Our local bear family spent a morning sunning themselves and eating lunch over on the hillside across the creek. Watching them got me thinking about how much life up here can be like the grownup version of the adventures of Christoper Robin and Winnie the Pooh and I made a video about that with some footage of the bears. If you'd like to see it, it's up on TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@listentosleep or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/listentosleep/. 

If the podcast helps you sleep, would you consider supporting it with $3 a month? You'll get new episodes a day earlier with no ads or introductions, an immediate download of the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland audiobook and you'll be helping me to get closer to realizing my dream of having Listen To Sleep be my full-time endeavor.

A calming non-dual mindfulness practice allowing local awareness to move throughout the body. 

I took a walk with Bodhi in the morning fog and spent some time thinking about why we sometimes feel cut off from our dreams in life. It's almost like a fog is obscuring our view of both our self and our dreams. I made a video about it called Finding Our Inner Wisdom and you can find it on TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@listentosleep or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/listentosleep/.

Fall deeply asleep with a guided mindfulness meditation on acceptance of the present moment. 

Acceptance is an active process of recognizing that things are as they are.  It can be hard sometimes to accept the way things are, but it gives us a good place to start bringing awareness to the present moment. It can give us access to our innate wisdom and open up new ways of being that can be healing or transformative.
