Drifting into Dreams: Five Proven Sleep Meditation Techniques for a Tranquil Night

Silence of Mindful Meditation

Mindful Meditation is an ancient Buddhist practice now popular among modern sleep seekers. It involves achieving a state of alert, focused relaxation by consciously paying attention to thoughts and sensations without judgment. This allows the mind to focus on the present, letting go of anxieties related to the past or future.

To practice this, one needs to find a quiet place, sit in a relaxing position, and focus on either their breath, an object, or a word or phrase. They should let their thoughts come and go freely, without judgment or engagement.

The benefits of this technique have been confirmed repeatedly by science. Studies show that regular mindfulness meditation practice can help decrease anxiety and depression, leading to higher quality sleep.
