Welcome & Namaste to the Sleeping Buddha bedtime stories about Siddhartha Gautama’s life with original recordings that I made during my research in Nepal and India, following the footsteps of the historic Buddha.

My journey takes me from Siddharthas’s birth place Lumbini through the foothills of the nepalese Terai region, down to the mythical Ganges area of Bihar.

Bedtime stories and nature sounds are a great way for you to calm down and gently go to sleep.

To make it easier for you to fall asleep I use several elements.

The stories that I am telling are supported by nature sounds, which I recorded on my journey.

Nature influences our mental processes in many ways: through fresh air, physical activity and the greenery.

But one effect was often underestimated in scientific research, namely the natural sounds. Natural sounds relieve psychological stress and have a relaxing effect.  New ideas can spark when we listen to biological sounds, which can actually be measured in sleep laboratories.

In each episode we will do a short calming exercise. And to help your brain get from the active phase to a resting state, the episodes are supported by binaural waves, recorded in temples and monasteries during my travel.

The stimulation with theta waves and buddhist chants helps you to fall asleep and can reduce anxiety and stress, and significantly increase your overall well being.

Thanks for listening and enjoy this sleep journey.
