Guided visualization is a relaxation technique in which individuals are led through a calming and sensory-rich narrative. By imagining peaceful and serene settings, listeners can relieve stress and tension, promoting mental clarity and emotional well-being. Engaging the mind in this way can also help people achieve a deeper state of relaxation and improve their overall sleep quality.

“This put me to sleep within the first few minutes, it felt dreamlike and tranquil. There are lengthy, silent moments that lull your brain to sleep, but it is not boring, the mind stays engaged in a relaxing, drifting sort of way. I will be trying out more of these because it worked so well and is a nice change from the sleep meditations and music I usually use.“ Michael B., Audible

One of the best. I listen every night to a "sleepy time " podcast. While my favorites are good, I admit I am getting a little bored with the same type episodes. I found this one by sampling several more. I love it and it is now my first choice! Voice is soothing, pace is perfect, background sounds are terrific and stories are great. Not just someone reading old classics. These stories are, as far as I can tell, unique.
