Sleep Well Tonight: Guided Meditation for Anxiety

Published 2023-09-17
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

I searched all throughout YouTube 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!

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

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!
