Episode Summary
Welcome back to the show! I’ve got to admit, I am a little starstruck by my guest today.
My story with today’s guest dates back to March 2020— COVID 19 virus rears its ugly head. We are brought literally to our knees with global instability, struggling economies, people being hospitalized and even dying alone not able to be surrounded by their loved. Let’s take a moment to realized the trauma we have been living through -it has been a really difficult year.
And despite being a meditation teacher and a meditation student for almost twenty years, I started to struggle a little with sleep at the beginning of coronavirus. As a meditation teacher on Insight Timer myself, and user of the Breethe meditation app, I was familiar with Glenn Harrold’s meditations and hypnotherapies, but when my sleep started to change at the beginning of COVID-19, I rediscovered Glenn, and consistently, I mean religiously started meditating seven nights a week without fail to his hynotherapies and meditations before bed.
My sleep became so deep and so restorative that my husband started to ask me what was going on, “You close your eyes Erica and you don’t even so much as move until the morning!”
Thank you Glenn!
