#227 - Meditation - Releasing Judgement

ERIK IRELAND
About this episode

We can release judgement and live life in the moment when we cultivate discernment with an openness to what's present. 

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, would you consider supporting it with $3 a month? You'll get two weekly episodes a day earlier with no ads or introductions and an immediate download of the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland audiobook. For another $2 a month, you'll get an extra story every week that's just for supporters. You can join or find more information about all the perks available to subscribers 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 a shareable mp3 that will play on any mp3 player. You can find them at https://www.listentosleep.com/store

Sleep well.💜
