  • Step into a magical realm of bioluminescence in this enchanting guided sleep meditation that will help you let go of anxiety. Let the soothing whispers of my voice and the gentle glow of magical creatures carry you into a serene night of restful dreams.
    Sleep is the foundation of health. Without sleep, you'll be fighting against the tide to feel better. But it's a catch 22 situation. When you feel anxious, it's harder to fall asleep because there are so many thoughts running around in your head. And if you don't sleep, your body releases more cortisol, which leads to more stress and anxiety.
    So I offer a solution here ... a body scan embedded within a calming sleep story. This guided sleep meditation will help you use guided imagery to turn off your anxious thoughts while you gently follow my voice. Leading you away from worry and into a magical world of better sleep.
    You might find that feeling anxious shortens your sleep duration. Even the worst insomniac sleeps a little, but it doesn't feel satisfying. So trying a combination of bedtime stories and relaxation techniques can help you get into the routine of sleep cycle and even if you don't fall asleep, your brain and body are still resting at a predictable time.
    Be well, be calm,
    ❤ Clare

    To anyone reading this: May your night be filled with peaceful thoughts and tranquility. You are worthy of comfort, you are worthy of love, and you are worthy of relaxation. I hope you awake tomorrow having released any stress or anxiety that was lingering, because you don't have to carry it with you. You have the strength to let go :) I'm listening to this while also reading the mindfulness meditation book off amz called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels and drinking jasmine tea. It is a wonderful evening

    I searched all throughout CZcams for sleep meditations. Some of the others are from people with PhDs reading clinically tested scripts, or from master Buddhist meditation instructors. But your guided sleep meditations are the best! A perfect mix of ambient noise, body scanning, and guided imagery, told by a voice with rhythm and cadence that is totally calming. We are lucky that you make these. Thank you!

    Dr. Roberts, this was magical! It relaxed me into wonderland! If I may ask: why does this audio work so effectively to relax us? What is happening to us biologically as we hear this recording and as we relax because of it? Cheers!

    • @GenerationCalm

      I'm so happy you found the audio relaxing! The effectiveness of this sleep meditation can be attributed to using guided imagery. By mentally immersing yourself in a positive and peaceful scenario, you're essentially "taking a break" from stress. This triggers a relaxation response in your body, which leads to physical changes such as reduced breath rate and heart rate.
      When you direct your thoughts towards positive and calming images, you activate a relaxation response that helps reduce tension.
      This combination of factors hopefully creates a soothing and calming experience to lead you to fall asleep. 🌟🧘‍♂️
