Sleep With Loving Kindness - Metta
by Peter Dawson
Enter into a deeply peaceful, relaxing sleep with compassion, love, and acceptance. Inspired by the form of a loving-kindness or metta meditation. This loving-kindness practice is designed to help you cultivate compassion for yourself and for others, enabling a deeper more restful sleep as you let go completely of your concerns and connect to the love that surrounds us all to hold and support you whilst you sleep soundly.

I didn’t hear very much, I feel asleep quickly. I think that’s the bottom line on a sleep meditation.
