Our Mindful Nature: Meditation Inspired by Nature to Soothe the Overwhelmed Mind and Ease Anxiety Winter Sleep Meditation: Held in the Womb of the Earth (Meditation For Anxiety & Mental Health)
A winter sleep meditation for you today, dear listeners!
As we slip into the darker, colder, and yet somehow busier part of the year I thought we would dedicate some class time to the richness of rest.
This episode is an invitation to get cozy, to set aside your to-do list for a few moments, and rest.
You can utilize this guided meditation for
- Naptime or a mid-day reset
- Gentle guidance into evening sleep
- Support for falling back asleep if you wake in the middle of the night
And listeners, I have to tell you today’s episode has my FAVORITE soundscape of the year. A soothing combination of singing bowls and elemental sounds of the natural world - I highly recommend headphones for the full listening experience. The soundscape and video for this episode are from nature field recordist Nick McMahan.
So grab a blanket and a cup of tea, pop-in your headphones, and join me for today’s winter-time sleep meditation.
