Instead of sleeping, I was meditating to this and by the end of it, I was actually drooling with how much it put me in a trance. Nicely done, so calming.

I continue to enjoy exploring Amanda's extensive collection of sleep meditations on Insight Timer. Her mellifluous voice, smooth enunciation, and mellow, perfectly slow-paced guidance create a deeply soothing listening experience that I return to again and again. Over the months, I've listened to many of her sleep meditations, both familiar favorites and newer additions. Their consistently calming quality and Amanda's almost hypnotic vocal delivery make them reliable companions whenever I'm seeking rest, relaxation, or a gentle transition into sleep. The reason I'm writing this shared review is a practical one: my usual habit is to leave feedback immediately after a session, but these meditations are often so effective at guiding me into drowsiness or sleep that I rarely remain alert enough afterward to gather my thoughts and write a review. Rather than letting that prevent me from expressing my appreciation, I'd like to offer my thanks here. While this review cannot do justice to the individual strengths and nuances of each meditation, Amanda's sleep offerings have become a valued part of my listening routine, and I am deeply grateful for the care, consistency, and generosity she brings to her work.

I love this!!! It’s so calming and relaxing. At first I just rested really deeply…and it was awesome! Then, I fell asleep for the entire night with this on a loop. It helped me so much! Thank you 🩷

Amazing practice of NSDR or Yoga Nedra. Simple but not easy practice which requires some time to get used to it. Much love and gratitude for your guidance ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Hi Mandi, I can’t thank you enough for how much of a calming effect your meditations have on my nervous system. I also wanted to share with you that a day after your last live, you appeared in my dreams! I dreamed that all of us attending the live came to your office for an in-person live; it was such a lovely dream. 🥰 I can’t travel at the moment due to postpartum anxiety, but it would be an honor to attend one of your in-person events someday. 🙏🏼💕
