Let us know what you enjoy about the show!

This guided meditation helps you release the mental weight of hopes, dreams, and expectations that keep you awake, teaching you to temporarily set aside both worries and positive anticipations to make space for restful sleep.

• Identifying how hope itself can sometimes become a burden that prevents present-moment awareness and sleep
• Using breath work and body relaxation to prepare the mind for release
• Visualizing thoughts as paper lanterns on boats drifting across a lake
• Understanding that temporarily letting go of hopes doesn't mean abandoning them
• Recognizing that rest is an essential part of becoming and achieving what we want
• Creating a mental image of being supported under a starry night sky
• Learning to trust the natural unfolding of life without constant mental management
• Embracing the permission to rest before everything is resolved or completed
