Sleep Meditation - Prioritising Rest For The New Year

Tonight’s Sleep Meditation with Karissa invites you to drop into the natural quiet and cosiness of winter. Let's tune into the deep, ancient rhythms of the natural world that have been embedded in the genetics of your ancestors. In nature, winter is a time of scarcity and harsh weather conditions. It is not the ideal time to make great expenditures of energy. It's the time to prioritise rest, and take some time to recuperate, ready for the renewal of spring.  First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:03) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:03-39:55) You may be expecting to turn everything around in the new year, setting goals and resolutions. If that pressure feels a little unnatural, just know that all of nature is still hibernating, and won’t burst forth with new life until spring. So, if you'd like it to be, winter can be a sweet moment of peace to contemplate where you’ve been and also bring you fully into the present so you can rest well and awaken tomorrow bright eyed for whatever life may bring next.  Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!
