A good night's sleep is necessary to maintain our general health and welfare. On Day 2 of the 5-Day course about Mindfulness for Better Sleep, we will cover the two states of being—doing and being—and how to seamlessly transition between them by using breathwork, meditation, and relaxation techniques. 

A powerful technique for shifting from doing to being is breathwork. It develops mindfulness and improves the mind-body connection. You can increase your awareness of body sensations, emotions, and mental states by deliberately focusing on your breath. You may identify and let go of tension, stress, and any bodily discomfort that might be preventing you from falling asleep.

The practice of meditation is another powerful method. Before going to sleep, try a guided meditation to help you focus your attention at the present moment. By gently directing your thoughts, meditation trains the mind to become less reactive and more present. Regular meditation practice fosters both immediate relaxation and a long-term capacity to refocus and find inner calm.
