In this gentle sleep meditation you are guided into a deep state of rest with a simple body release practice followed by a quiet story that leads you across warm dunes and down to a peaceful beach at dusk. The waves slowly drift into the distance as the tide moves out and they fade away completely, leaving you in complete silence so there is nothing to disturb your sleep and no ending to pull you back awake.

This session is recorded by me, Steven Webb, in top Studio Quality. You can listen with headphones, through your phone, or through speakers. Choose whatever feels most comfortable for you as you settle in.

You will begin with a soft full body tense and release, letting go of the day in stages. After that your body is invited to move toward sleep while your mind takes a slow quiet walk across the sand. You settle into a warm and comfortable dip at the top of a small dune, safe and undisturbed, listening as the tide slips further away. The waves grow softer, more distant, until they fade completely and you drift into a deep and peaceful sleep.

This meditation has no ending voice and no music at the close. It simply carries you into the night and leaves you resting.

The inspiration for this meditation came from one of my supporters who shared that they have been listening to my meditations as part of the 12 Steps. That really moved me.

I am no expert in the 12 Steps, but I have come to know them through friends and clients over the years. What I love is that their wisdom is universal. They speak to the same truths we all face when we are trying to change, heal, or simply live more honestly with ourselves.

This meditation is for anyone walking that kind of path. Maybe you are giving something up, staying sober, breaking an old habit, or learning to live with more acceptance. The process can feel slow, messy, and uncertain. It can feel like you are going nowhere at all. But when you stop and look back, you begin to see how far you have already come.

In this episode, we begin with a short reflection on the nature of change and then move into a gentle guided meditation that invites you to trust the process. It helps you rest in what is, rather than chase what might be, and reminds you that growth often happens quietly beneath the surface.

This meditation will help you

• find patience when progress feels invisible
• Stay grounded when you want to give up
• reconnect with trust in your own journey

You do not have to see the whole path to take the next step.

Trust the journey you are on. You will get there.

Guided Meditation: The Garden of Your Heart

In a world that often rewards being loud and tough, it's easy to mistake our quiet, gentle qualities for weaknesses. We might overlook our own capacity for kindness, patience, and empathy, believing they don't count in the grand scheme of things.

But what if these are not weaknesses at all? What if they are our deepest, most resilient strengths?

This guided meditation invites you on a gentle journey into the garden of your heart. Here, we will walk through a peaceful inner landscape where your unique strengths are discovered not as abstract ideas, but as living parts of your very nature, a resilient tree of patience, a clear pool of empathy, a soft moss of kindness. It is a time to simply recognise, honour, and appreciate the quiet power you already hold within.

To get the most from this practice, find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably without interruption for the next 15 minutes.

Episode Summary:

Do you ever feel like you're holding on too tightly to something – a person, a thought, a desire, or even an expectation? In this guided meditation from the "Inner Peace Meditations" podcast, we explore the gentle yet powerful practice of "The Open Hand of Allowing." Discover how to release the struggle of attachment and find freedom not by forcing yourself to let go, but by simply allowing things to be as they are. This practice can lead to a profound sense of calm and a lighter, more peaceful state of being.

In this episode, you will be guided through a meditation to help you:

• Acknowledge and sit with your attachments without judgment. [0:08]
• Understand the physical and mental strain of holding on too tightly. [3:08]
• Experience the difference between forcefully trying to let go and gently allowing. [3:45]
• Cultivate a sense of inner peace by releasing the need to control. [5:11]
• Develop a new, more compassionate approach to dealing with attachment in your daily life. [9:23]

Benefits of this Meditation:

This meditation offers a unique approach to dealing with attachment. Instead of creating more tension by trying to force things away, you will learn the art of non-resistance. The key benefit is discovering that true release comes from a place of acceptance, not struggle. By practicing the "open hand of allowing," you can reduce the mental and emotional energy spent on clinging to outcomes, thoughts, or feelings.

This practice is particularly helpful for:

• Reducing anxiety and stress associated with attachment.
• Cultivating a greater sense of emotional freedom and resilience.
• Improving your ability to be present and mindful.
• Fostering a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
