What Is the Waking State—and Why Does It Matter?

In our everyday lives, we drift between the waking and napping states. The waking state is not simply being awake—it’s a heightened awareness, a total presence in reality. It’s the space where all your senses align, and you become attuned to something far greater than yourself.

But most of us never truly wake up. Instead, we live in a "napping state"—a kind of sleepwalking through life. In Episode 2 of The HBM Show, we explore what it means to awaken and why achieving even a moment of this state can change everything.

  1. The Difference Between Napping and Sleeping: Why your so-called "waking life" might not be as conscious as you think.
  2. The 'Other Thing': A mysterious yet universal element of heightened awareness that defies explanation.
  3. Practical Exercises: Simple techniques to flicker into the waking state and build your tolerance for true presence.
