Product Description This guided meditation for sleep infuses mind, body and spirit with potent, healing messages to cultivate self-compassion while the listener is nourished by deep, restorative sleep. The guided imagery and meditation for fostering a more respectful, patient and forgiving relationship toward the self. It uses state-of-the-art hypnotic techniques by a master of the form, to foster a more loving, patient and forgiving attitude toward the self. This gentle but powerful meditation is especially helpful for those who have sabotaged their own best intentions during the daylight hours, or for anyone who feels they can use the extra help available in the extra-potent and receptive mind-state of sleep. A perfect companion to the Healthy Self-Compassion Meditations to Release Self-Criticism and Foster Self-Kindness, this program also serves as a stand-alone self-compassion building tool and sleep aid. Guided imagery is a holistic technique that consists of hypnotic suggestions, healing words and positive images, set to soothing music, to achieve specific healing goals, such as building self-love and consideration, and enjoying deep, restorative sleep. Written and narrated by clinical psychologist and mind-body behavioral health expert Traci Stein, and scored to the exquisitely soothing ocean wave sounds of Tim Kahn, this evidence-based Health Journeys' mind-body resource was produced by the Cleveland Orchestra's broadcast engineer Bruce Gigax. Especially helpful for those whose Inner Critic tends to interfere with positive attitude change during the waking state, this popular meditation for self-compassion during sleep is the perfect marriage between Traci Stein's impeccable technique, psychologically sophisticated narrative, and soothing voice quality. In other words, while doing the deep and powerful work of buttressing a listener s positive attitude change, this guided meditation will actually improve sleep quality, too. (79 minutes) About the A
