Quotes:
- “Keep allowing yourself to relax and be aware of the sensations.”
- “Nothing else needs to matter right now. There's no need to do this right. There's no doing it wrong. There's simply the outside coming in and the inside moving out.”
- “Allow your awareness to be at the boundary of your skin.”
- “When humans don't hit deep sleep for long enough, it causes dementia.”
- “What's hard about sleep deprivation is that it triggers adrenaline addiction”
- “If we're sleep-deprived, the mind and body are in an adrenaline addiction cycle where it's producing cortisol in greater quantities at the wrong times of the day.”
- “You're not meditating to have insights and thoughts. That's a different practice.”
