Guided Meditation For Sleep.

Winter is a season of stark, beautiful contrasts. The shorter days and colder climate allow us time to slow down and reflect. Winter is also traditionally a time for storytelling. There's nothing better than a comfortable bed, a warm quilt, and a winter tale on a frosty night. The visualization will begin with a simple exercise for relaxation. Then you will experience a wintery landscape in rather an unusual way. The sleep story will end with the ambient sounds from a log cabin with a snowstorm outside.

In this sleep story, you will sail the arctic sea on a vintage ship through a canyon of magnificent icebergs. Summer days are eternal this far North, and as a result, they have a way of all blending into one, and on this arctic summer day, the seas are calm. The visualization will begin with a simple breathing exercise and body scan for relaxation and end with the ambient noise from the interior of the ship's cabin.

This nature-based guided meditation for relaxation and sleep is an imaginary, immersive autumnal forest bathing experience. The visualization will begin with a simple breathing exercise. Then, trample through the autumn leaves before discovering a beautiful clearing just as the sun sets. Finally, drift off to sleep with the AMSR sound of walking through the forest.  What is forest bathing? The Japanese practise something called forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku. Shinrin in Japanese means "forest," and yoku means "bath." So shinrin-yoku means bathing in the forest environment or taking in the forest through the senses. In the sleep story, you will virtually experience the sounds of nature, the scent of the leaves, the sunlight playing through the branches of the trees, the forest air. All these things will help reduce anxiety and help with a good night's sleep. Want more of Your Sleep Guru?

We all love a starry sky on a clear night. It sparks wonder, our sense of the infinite and the idea of other worlds. It also stirs up spirits from the past held deep within our DNA, feelings that are nameless yet profound. Being on a boat at night adds another dimension to this experience. One that I highly recommend if you ever have an opportunity to experience it!

This visualization for sleep is based on a dream of discovering the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II was said to have created the Hanging Gardens in the sixth century B.C. as a gift to his wife, who was homesick for the beautiful vegetation and mountains native of her homeland.  The lush green mountain of gardens rose out of the desert landscape, tiered with terraces of exotic flowers, plants and orchards that dazzled the eyes. Fragrances wafted through the towering botanical oasis dotted with statues, stone columns and water channelled from the nearby River Euphrates.
