How does Geoffrey invite listeners into a restful mindset before the story?
Hey, Geoffrey here, and welcome back to Nightfalls. I hope you've had a wonderful day and are ready for a super sleep. I've got a quick favor to ask. If you're enjoying the show, please do share us on social media. It helps us a huge amount and hopefully we can help others to a magical night's sleep. I love reading about the mind and why we are the way we are. Recently I've been fascinated with the functions of the left and right hemisphere of the brain. My understanding is that the left grasps at concepts, labelling and analysing in order to navigate the world, whereas the right takes in the whole, allowing presence, relationship and beauty in the moment. Both sides are essential, but I wonder which you think is more resonant in our story tonight.
I'm going to share a tale about a woman who moves to the mountains and slowly but surely comes to appreciate the transient beauty of the clouds that surround her new home. In many ways, it's a story about changing perspective. So let's start by changing your perspective and adopting a calmer, more mindful and more gentle frame of mind as you move towards rest. Perhaps you've had a busy day. Perhaps your body is still holding the tension of your day. Perhaps your mind is still occupied with thoughts of what's happened today and what might happen tomorrow. Now is the time to stop. Be still. Relax your body and shift your perspective towards thoughts of rest, ease, and calm. Deepen your breath, and with each inhale and exhale, allow your body to grow more relaxed.
With each inhale and exhale, allow your mind to grow clear. Before we begin, here's the quick ad break that keeps this free content possible. To go ad-free, subscribe via the link in the show notes. You know, there are a lot of different places here in Night Falls, but during the day, I still find myself wanting to learn a little more about the world. That's what led me to Everything Everywhere Daily. It's one of the most popular daily education podcasts, even recently ranked the number one history podcast. And each episode is about 10 minutes, so it's easy to fit into your day. They cover everything from history and science to fascinating people and moments you might never have come across otherwise.
Some recent episodes I really liked include one on the history of curling, which as a Scot I have a soft spot for, tracing it back to medieval Scotland. Or their episode on the world's greatest art museums, which I found myself really drawn to. I've always loved art, and hearing the stories behind these places makes it feel surprisingly immersive. So if you like the idea of learning something new without it ever feeling like work, Learn something new every single day with Everything Everywhere daily. Find it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Did you know that scientific research has found significant links between having a morning mindfulness practice and the quality of your sleep and emotional health? Even just three to five minutes of mindfulness in the morning can reduce your stress hormone levels by up to 25%. This simple habit can meaningfully shift your physiology, your cognitive performance, and your emotional baseline for the entire day. And that's exactly why I make Wake Me Up, the morning podcast filled with mindfulness and positivity practices like affirmations, meditations, breath work, and inspirational talks. It's the perfect morning companion for your favorite sleep podcast. So go check it out now and pick out an episode for the morning.
Just search Wake Me Up in your favorite podcast player for better mornings and a better life.
If you've ever wanted to lose yourself in a land of wizards, goblins, and creatures that really shouldn't be able to talk, somewhere between the tales we tell here and somewhere entirely new, Hello from the Magic Tavern is waiting for you. It's an improvised comedy podcast set in the fantastical land of Foon, hosted by Arnie Niekamp, alongside his co-hosts, Udisor the Wizard and Chunt the Talking Badger.
