Arctica follows a woman’s explorations of Greenland while hiking the Arctic Circle Trail and offers rich imagery that enhances dream life and balances the points of interest with a sleep inducing cadence.

Arctica is part of The Boring Story series, follow for more information and to see other audiobooks in the series.

The Boring Story series utilizes a unique blend of storytelling techniques informed by Yoga Nidra and Jungian concepts to help children and adults find a restful nights sleep.

As a lifelong insomniac, I recognized sleep resistance when trying to get an eleven year old to fall asleep, nothing worked and I had the familiar forlorn feeling that sleep would always be a challenge for some. In desperation, I told the eleven year old that I would tell her the most boring story that ever existed, and used some of my training from Yoga Nidra to help her feel relaxed while paying attention to the story. I indulged in some fun archetypal symbolism and larger than life ideas, and then altered my cadence very slowly to induce sleep. It worked within five minutes. Over the next few weeks I honed the skill and tested it on other children and adults, and soon enough I had a very successful tool to alleviate insomnia.
