Sleep Sanctuary: Guided Meditations For Deep Sleep

With Dia Rivers

Sleep doesn't need to be a struggle. This course is here to help you release pressure, soften resistance, and restore trust in your body's natural ability to achieve Deep and Restorative Sleep. Each night's track offers a calming meditation that gently calms the busy mind and reinforces new, nourishing sleep beliefs at a deep, somatic level. Through body scans, breathwork, visualizations, and affirmations, you'll meet tiredness with compassion, let go of productivity pressures, and be serenaded into that Deep and Rejuvenating Sleep you've been craving. By the end of the week, you'll have a toolkit of practices to regulate your nervous system, ease judgment and anxiety around sleep, and invite a deeper sense of safety, surrender, and replenishment each night. Expect to drift into stillness, reconnect with your natural rhythm, and transform your nights into a Sanctuary of Deep and Nourishing Rest.
