Getty’s first video podcast encourages you to engage with works of art mindfully, wherever you are. Part art history, part mindfulness meditation, each episode focuses on one work of art and uses it as an inspiration for meditation and reflection. Learn about Edvard Munch’s time on Norway’s coast then imagine the blue light of his Starry Night traveling through your body, releasing tension as it goes. Or take inspiration from Van Gogh’s Irises to bring new awareness to your senses. Long-time museum educator and meditation practitioner Lilit Sadoyan translates her work leading mindfulness meditation tours at the Getty Museum into a podcast that fits into your daily routine. Can’t get enough? Between episodes, catch Lilit’s interviews with fascinating guests like a planetary climate scientist, a sleep historian, a mountain climber, and an art conservator. Conducted as part of the research process, these casual conversations provide new insights into the week’s artwork and meditation theme.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-24T02:17:19.769967+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ommm-our-museum-mindfulness-meditation-7867495"},"episode":{"title":"Yogic Sleep Meditation with an Ornate Bed","slug":"yogic-sleep-meditation-with-an-ornate-bed","published_at":"2026-07-21T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ommm-our-museum-mindfulness-meditation-7867495/yogic-sleep-meditation-with-an-ornate-bed","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ommm-our-museum-mindfulness-meditation-7867495","url":"https://podcast.show/3958092/episode/154307341/","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.blubrry.com/3958092/ins.blubrry.com/3958092/OMMM-106-FINAL_AUDIO_2_.mp3","summary":"Deeply relax your entire body with a yoga nidra, or yogic sleep, meditation inspired by a luxurious 18th-century French bed. Called a lit à la polonaise, or Polish bed, because the style was reminiscent of Polish fashion at the time, this four-poster bed has a nearly ten-foot canopy elegantly draped in lush silk. The wooden frame is covered in gold, while decorative trim and fluffy white ostrich feathers complete the look. A resplendent bed like this one would likely have been one of the most expensive furnishings in the home and would serve as a focal point in the bedroom. Imagine climbing up and sinking into this bed. Through a yoga nidra meditation, in which each muscle in your body relaxes, access a sense of deep rest while maintaining conscious awareness. This podcast uses chapters. If you'd like to jump straight to the meditation, find the forth chapter.
