ERIK IRELAND
About this episode

Explore the nature of mind and awareness with an essential question that's both simple and deep.

If you want to take a walk with Bodhi and me and hear more of my thoughts on how we create the stories about who we are, join us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/reel/CfpDbEjjxaR/ or TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@listentosleep/video/7116958187969973547.

In my free newsletter, I send you a story every month about something I’ve learned living here on the mountain along with some tips to help you get a better night’s sleep and a little more peace during the day. When you join, you’ll also get a free sleepy audiobook and a relaxing 30 minute recording of the creek behind my cabin as a gift. Just go to https://www.listentosleep.com/blog/category/newsletter/.

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 leave a tip or buy a shareable audiobook of the longer books I read on Listen To Sleep Plus. It's a great 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.

Sleep well.💜

Erik
