Rest is not what comes when the mind finally stops. 🌙 These teachings offer the body as a place to land: the breath as it actually moves, the weight of the body in sihaseyya, the quiet permission of metta. 🍃 A gentle companion for those who lie awake and long for rest. 🙏 00:00:00 The Vigil 00:02:08 Where the Mind Goes 00:20:53 Following the Breath Down 00:40:37 Listening to the Body 00:59:04 Releasing the Mind's Grip 01:19:36 Entering Tranquility 01:38:39 Lying Down as Practice 02:01:09 Giving Yourself Permission 02:27:27 Arriving in Rest 02:46:38 The Night as Teacher At Moon Mind Temple, we transform ancient Buddha teachings into gentle wisdom transmission through Zen stories that guide you to profound inner peace.
