Calm The Overthinking Mind - Buddhist Stories & Teachings for Sleep and Letting Go

Hi everyone, we are now live on Spotify here🌛✨: https://open.spotify.com/show/033EUu4... Tonight we explore the overthinking mind, and what the Buddha and the Zen masters taught about finding peace with it. The thoughts that arrive uninvited, the worries that return at midnight, the voice in your head that never seems to rest. For over two thousand years, the Buddhist tradition has offered a gentler way to meet all of it, and it begins with a simple discovery: you were never the one making the noise. Through a dialogue between a restless traveler and an old monk who spend one long night together, this episode weaves Zen stories and teachings from the Buddha on where thoughts come from, why they were never yours to carry, and the deep calm that arrives when the mind is simply watched instead of wrestled. A long, slow listen made for the late hours. No knowledge of Buddhism or meditation is needed. Settle in, lower the lights, and let the stories carry you. If this brought you some peace, subscribing and sharing it with someone who overthinks their nights away helps more than you know. Original stories, commentary and script written and produced by Midnight Monk. 🧘🌙✨
