It's a myth that sleep is a waste of time. In fact our brains are super active when we're sleeping. Now researchers are looking into the hypnagogic state, a transitional state between wakefulness and sleep to see if we can influence our own dreams. During this state, our brains are still active. It's a unique state of consciousness where we can be aware of our thoughts and surroundings, but we are also open to suggestion.

Researchers are interested in the hypnagogic state because it may offer a way to influence our dreams. By focusing on certain thoughts or images before we fall asleep, we may be able to influence the content of our dreams. This could be a useful tool for problem-solving, creativity, or simply for having more enjoyable dreams.

Listen for more details and tips for influencing your dreams during the hypnagogic state.

This episode is all about the inner workings of Sound Meditations for ripples of goodness in a difficult environment. A conversation with NYC Emergency Room Physician and sound meditation facilitator, Dr. William Berk. We talk about how he came to combine modern medicine with ancient techniques and how sound can be a surprising facilitation into a meditative state, especially for people who have trouble just sitting still in mindfulness. An easier, falling into meditative states definitely piques my curiosity!

“Sound has been used throughout time and culture as a powerful way of disconnecting from our chattering and distracted “monkey mind” and connecting with a state that is equanimous, connected and transcendental. 

What is sound meditation?

Sound meditation is a deeply-immersive meditative practice where sound becomes your sole focus. Using a series of carefully selected instruments, we focus the attention and allow the mind to rest as the subconscious and the body comes to a state of loving and connected harmony.

Being extraordinary refers to taking a step back and recognizing that what modern society calls "normal"—ways to eat, sleep, move, connect, and relax—often work against biological wellness. The seemingly insignificant daily "normal" behaviors add up, either moving us toward a healthy, wealthy, and fulfilling life or slowly chipping away at our mental and physical health. Knowing the science behind specific behaviors that strengthen our resilience—the ability to bounce back from setbacks—can strongly motivate us toward healthier habits.
