Night Brilliance

""This is a journal and a process definitely worth the investment of time and practice for those seeking to live with more peace, awareness, creativity and ease.” —Emma Rae Rhead, M.D. “Sleep thinking is a subtle practice, and the journal makes space for meaningful questions to take root. Though I am early in my sleep thinking journey, I already appreciate the shift in how I think about sleep and problem-solving. I sense something meaningful unfolding beneath the surface. The sleep thinking journal has helped me approach my nights with more intention and trust—it’s a simple practice that feels rich with possibility.” —Kelly Gammon “I’ve been using for about fifteen days now and I love it!  This has been so helpful in giving me a greater understanding of the process—not just an intellectual understanding, but actual practice with the process. The journal makes it so easy! It reminds me that I can tap into this unexplored resource and rich and expansive process. It’s all about participating with something already going on inside me in new and rewarding ways. That’s been so helpful!” —Elle Garfield “After sleep thinking for a couple of nights, an entire flow of ideas started to come through. These ideas were much lighter and more colorful than my conscious, trying-hard brain typically produces. I’m a big proponent of ‘sleeping on it’ and often delay a decision that is not clear to me.  However, I hadn’t previously considered making sleep thinking a more consistent practice. Now I will. I think this will help nagging problems no longer nag!” —Kirsten Johansen “The adage ‘sleep on it’ takes on a whole new meaning with Eric Maisel’s sleep thinking journal. When I followed Maisel’s encouraging prompts and practiced my own pre-sleep questions, I felt permission to trust my sleep thinking. The strategy to wonder and tap into my ‘committee of sleep’ helped me relax; and upon waking, I was able to approach my regular daytime worries with more ease. This practice has even helped me access creative alternatives to challenges and negative self-talk during my waking hours!” —Muireann O'Callaghan “After just one week of use, I received great insights and made great progress in my chosen areas. I’m excited about the possibilities that sleep thinking holds!” —Mark Ridout “After just a few days of using the sleep thinking program, I started to notice that I was getting answers to my questions. I'm not sure how that happened, but I’m sure enough receiving answers, downloads, and direction!” —Pamela Wright “Sleep thinking—what a wonderful tool! I’ve gotten answers in my sleep before but never added prompts with journaling. I found by practicing, I was much clearer on my projects and how to approach things in my waking hours. I would wake up excited to have answers to my questions and often had a clear vision of what needed to be done. This results in less stress for me. Thank you for sharing this tool with me!!!” —Pat House “In his sleep thinking journal, Eric Maisel helps us explore the idea that the sleeping brain isn’t just for random dreaming. Through questions and prompts, Maisel helps us prepare our brains to solve problems and answer questions while we sleep. With patience and persistence, we can train our brains to focus on a question, and then be ready for the answer. This process can even help in dealing with anxieties and sleep issues, by turning them consciously over to the brain to work on while we sleep. A guide for seekers, creatives, and anyone who wants to better utilize their brain’s potential, this is a valuable addition to any journaling or meditation practice.” —Jana Van der Veer “Eric Maisel offers a revolutionary yet elegantly simple method: harnessing “sleep thinking” to work through challenges you might otherwise wrestle with for days or weeks. The approach is refreshingly uncomplicated and accessible: Each chapter provides a straightforward question to ponder and journal about, along with a single prompt before bedtime. You then allow your brain to work while you sleep, and welcome the insights in the morning through journaling. What sets this guide apart is its combination of inspiring insight and real-world usability. Maisel invites readers not just to dream, but to think purposefully while asleep and then make room to receive and act on the answers that emerge. It's a fresh way to tap into your subconscious mind, all while gaining rest!” —Juliana Bruno
