Guided Meditation with Karen

ByKaren McAndless-Davis

This gentle guided meditation is designed to help you calm your mind and relax your body. It is perfect to do before going to sleep. Please note, if you are in an unsafe situation – physically or emotionally, you should not do this guided meditation as you need to stay alert and vigilant but if you are in a safe place, this meditation may help you let go of some of the stress you are feeling. Thanks to David Bergson for the use of this beautiful calming photo. Let the meditation play, follow the very simple instructions and relax. The meditation fades off in the end to allow you to just go to sleep.
