When sunlight decreases during the winter season and days become shorter people may experience something known as "winter blues". People affected by this change experience feelings of sadness or loss of energy. Going outside, being in nature and getting some natural light is one thing you can do to help yourself if you have a seasonal affective disorder. Of course, if the weather isn't cooperating for outside physical activities, trying yoga indoors is a great option. An audio escape can help too! So here is a sunny, relaxing imaginary break to a tropical island beach. The sleep story will begin with a simple relaxation exercise and end with the soothing sound of a sea breeze through the palm trees on a deserted island beach.

Winter is a season of stark, beautiful contrasts. The shorter days and colder climate allow us time to slow down and reflect. Winter is also traditionally a time for storytelling. There's nothing better than a comfortable bed, a warm quilt, and a winter tale on a frosty night. The visualization will begin with a simple exercise for relaxation. Then you will experience a wintery landscape in rather an unusual way. The sleep story will end with the ambient sounds from a log cabin with a snowstorm outside.

In this sleep story, you will sail the arctic sea on a vintage ship through a canyon of magnificent icebergs.

This nature-based guided meditation for relaxation and sleep is an imaginary, immersive autumnal forest bathing experience. The visualization will begin with a simple breathing exercise. Then, trample through the autumn leaves before discovering a beautiful clearing just as the sun sets. Finally, drift off to sleep with the AMSR sound of walking through the forest.  What is forest bathing? The Japanese practise something called forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku. Shinrin in Japanese means "forest," and yoku means "bath." So shinrin-yoku means bathing in the forest environment or taking in the forest through the senses. In the sleep story, you will virtually experience the sounds of nature, the scent of the leaves, the sunlight playing through the branches of the trees, the forest air. All these things will help reduce anxiety and help with a good night's sleep. Want more of Your Sleep Guru?

Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II was said to have created the Hanging Gardens in the sixth century B.C. as a gift to his wife, who was homesick for the beautiful vegetation and mountains native of her homeland.  The lush green mountain of gardens rose out of the desert landscape, tiered with terraces of exotic flowers, plants and orchards that dazzled the eyes.

Winter is the season of stark, beautiful contrasts with shorter days of cooler weather that allow for quiet time and reflection. This meditative sleep story embodies the spirit of the season. A reindeer will pull you on a sledge through a wintery landscape. When you reach your destination, you will experience Yule at an isolated log cabin in a forest. Yule predates the Christmas holiday by thousands of years. Linguists suggest the name Yule originates from the Anglo-Saxon word “Iul,” which means wheel and so consequently draws a link to the wheel figured in the Celtic calendar. In the Norse culture, “Jul” refers to the god, Odin, who was celebrated throughout Yule as well. Yule celebrations included bonfires, decorating with holly, mistletoe and the boughs of evergreen trees, feasts, and gift-giving.

Have you heard of forest bathing? It's not actually bathing in water, but immersing yourself in the woods. Being present, noticing the trees, the wildlife, the sounds, and the aromas.
