Do you ever find yourself tangled in anxious thoughts at night, struggling to ease into restful sleep?

This episode offers a deeply soothing sleep meditation set beside a natural hot spring on a snowy, star-filled night. If stress, anger, or racing thoughts keep you awake, this practice will guide you into a state of relaxation through mindful breathwork and gentle visualization.

Experience a full-body release of tension with guided breath counting.

Learn how slowing your breath naturally steadies the mind for deep rest.

Feel a sense of warmth, safety, and reset, as if cocooned by nature’s healing embrace.

Today's nature soundscape blends bubbling water, a trickling creek under the snow, and distant wind through pine trees. Designed to evoke the serene hush of deep winter, it offers a sense of warmth while embracing the quiet stillness of the season's final chapter before the first signs of thaw.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let this meditation lead you into a peaceful, restorative night’s sleep. Press play now.
