Sleep and Mysticism: Philip Carr-Gomm and Dawson Church in Conversation
Manage episode 384196784 series 2954332
Philip Car-Gomm is the author of twenty books, including The Druid Way and The Gift of the Night: A Six Step Program for Better Sleep. He began studying Druidry in his teenage years, and eventually became head of the order of Bards Ovates and Druids. He has also trained as a teacher of Yoga Nidra and Mindfulness Meditation. He's fascinated by the intersection of the worlds of psychology and spirituality. He finds that psychology reveals the many facets of our human consciousness. When you add the insights of the Perennial Wisdom Tradition – the ancient knowledge and esoteric teachings passed down through the ages – you enter awe-inspiring transformational territory. He live streams a program called "Tea with a Druid" each week.
Here he and Dawson share about:
- The book called The Life of The Buddha
- The concept of the spiritual quest
- Philip’s background
- The phases of sleep
- REM sleep for emotional processing
- Yoga Nidra
- How the eye movements of EMDR echo the reprocessing happening in REM sleep
- For a great sleep, you need a safe bedroom, a calm mind, and a relaxed body
