Does worry keep you up at night? Are you tired of letting your thoughts run wild all night instead of getting the deep rest you desperately need? This meditation is all about giving your mind a chance to worry before letting go and letting sleep in. Take a few minutes to let your worries surface and be heard before you release them and embrace a good night's rest.
