A Mind At Rest... Fall Asleep to Buddhist Teachings & Zen Stories on No-Mind

Tonight we sit with a teaching the Zen masters called no-mind, or mushin: a way of being fully present without getting caught in the thoughts that pass through us.
This is a long-form Buddhist sleep audio built around Zen stories and Buddhist teachings on no-mind, mushin, mindfulness, and letting go. Across the night we explore why the thinking mind grows tired, how skill and wisdom live in the body beneath thought, what happens when we stop watching ourselves, how to move with life like water, and how to rest in the stillness that exists before thought begins.
The stories are told slowly, with room to drift. No prior knowledge of Buddhism or Zen is needed. Made for deep sleep, quiet rest, and the slow hours of the night.
If this brought you some peace, you are welcome to follow this sleep podcast for more Zen stories and Buddhist teachings for sleep, and to share it with someone who could use a quieter mind tonight.
