Fall Asleep with Awareness

What do you experience as you drift off to sleep? Many of us don’t pay attention to our minds and bodies after we climb into bed – but the time between waking and sleep is full of unique sensations and experiences. This audio-only course is led by Dr. Cortland Dahl, a research scientist, meditation teacher, and Chief Contemplative Officer at HMI who spent eight years translating Tibetan Buddhist texts before getting his Ph.D. in neuroscience. In this guided meditation, you’ll scan your body, releasing tension as you go. You’ll also notice how it feels to transition from your waking life to the inner world of sleep. After this course, you’ll be more aware of how your body and mind feel as you allow yourself to rest.
