Sleep can be difficult, but sleep is a gift from God. What if we were to learn some spiritual practices to develop this gift in our life?
How was your sleep last night?
You might find it hard to get off to sleep.
You might wake during the night, and the hamster wheel of thoughts beckons release.
Worries bounce off walls, then dive into wild spirals.
Feels like a troupe of monkeys are swinging through the brain!

What if we could train the brain for rest?
What if we could learn some spiritual practices that might just help?
