Wake Up to Sleep with Charlie Morley

Today’s episode is an energetic dive into the healing potential of the nighttime mind with Charlie Morley. Charlie is the author of several much-loved books on lucid dreaming, including his newest: Wake Up to Sleep: 5 Practices to Transform Trauma and Stress for Peaceful Sleep. Charlie guides us in two practices: a powerful protection practice inspired by the Bön tradition of Dream Yoga, and a simple Yoga Nidra practice, meant to help reset the nervous system. Both help create a safe and supporting space for overcoming insomnia and getting a good night’s rest. We also explore what he’s learned about supporting veterans – and regular folks – with PTSD, how to renegotiate our nightmares, and the role lucid dreaming can play in all of this. These are fascinating practices; we had an animated and wide-ranging discussion.To go straight to Charlie’s 7 minute sleep protection practice, it starts at 21:30 and ends at 28:20. Links:• Charlie’s website: https://www.charliemorley.com • Charlie’s book Wake Up to SleepSupport the show Get full access to The Mind Bod Adventure Pod at www.mindbodpod.com/subscribe
