If you struggle with Sleep, whether it’s taking a while to drift off or waking up in the night - This show is made for you 💜 I’m Karissa, and this is Sleep Wave. A sleepy podcast that does things differently. I’ll share sleep meditations and hypnotic stories with you every Monday & Wednesday, which will not only send you to sleep quickly, but may also help you feel better, guiding you through those things that are keeping you up at night, and keeping you from the rest you deserve. But before we begin, there’s one thing that is important you know. Although I practise meditation, I am no sleep guru who is floating on a cloud of zen relaxation all the time! Full disclosure? I’m anxious by nature, a bit of a workaholic, and have a mind that loves to keep me up at night. I am drawn to the ideas and meditations we’ll explore here together because I need them in my own life to help me feel balanced and calmer and of course, to help me sleep better. And because I know from experience, that they really do work. So in each of my episodes, we’ll be talking about how the meditation piece relates to real life, getting to know one another, and hopefully, all finding greater peace and better, sweeter sleep, together. So subscribe today, drift off, and we'll catch you on the next Sleep Wave. Support the show 💫 https://sleepwave.supercast.com/ Follow us on Instagram @sleepiestapp Learn more about your ad choices.

First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:05) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:05-36:25) The empowerment that comes from consciously releasing anxiety and sinking into your own ability to choose how you want to feel will not only transform your night of sleep, but also your day tomorrow.

Tonight’s Sleep Meditation with Karissa has been created to help those who struggle to let go into sleep. We are now deep into the winter and all of nature is in hibernation. It’s a time of introspection and quiet. But, of course, it’s not always easy to access this. Whether trouble sleeping is occasional for you, or more of a chronic issue, tonight we’re going to all sink into that quiet and introspective place together as we meditate on the Winter Solstice. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:20) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:20-37:56) Meditation can induce a mental state that is deeply quiet and calm. It’s the mental analogue to the slowing down of metabolism that occurs in hibernating animals. The mental exertion of entertaining a compulsive string of thoughts and their associated thoughts are reduced. The gap between thoughts widens and the breath slows down. In the stillness between breaths, there is an opportunity for mental silence. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

Tonight’s Sleep Meditation with Karissa invites you to drop into the natural quiet and cosiness of winter. Let's tune into the deep, ancient rhythms of the natural world that have been embedded in the genetics of your ancestors. In nature, winter is a time of scarcity and harsh weather conditions. It is not the ideal time to make great expenditures of energy. It's the time to prioritise rest, and take some time to recuperate, ready for the renewal of spring. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:03) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:03-39:55) You may be expecting to turn everything around in the new year, setting goals and resolutions. If that pressure feels a little unnatural, just know that all of nature is still hibernating, and won’t burst forth with new life until spring. So, if you'd like it to be, winter can be a sweet moment of peace to contemplate where you’ve been and also bring you fully into the present so you can rest well and awaken tomorrow bright eyed for whatever life may bring next.

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we’re going to meditate on the power of generosity and how that connects to abundance. Not only abundance of money, but how having a generous spirit can ease tension and create more joy and gratitude in your life as well. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:10) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:10-39:36) As important as it is to be generous with others, it’s also essential to be generous with yourself. To give yourself the time and space to wind down at night, to reflect on the day, to give yourself enough time to rest and recharge. This time of year is often bustling with parties and get togethers and travel and there are countless reasons why your self-care could be left at the end of the to-do list. By taking the time tonight to meditate and give yourself the gift of meditating before sleep you are replenishing yourself and will have a better tomorrow because of it.

In tonight's specially selected Sleep Wave Rewind, Karissa will guide you on a Sleep Meditation all about relaxing into your truth, for deeper rest. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-03:12) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (03:12-37:32) There is something incredibly powerful in trusting yourself. Trusting your voice. By spending a lot of time quiet with yourself you’re better able to trust yourself when you speak. That’s essentially what meditation is. Listening to your breath, the sounds in the room, the beat of your own heart. Watching your thoughts and all the crazy and wonderful things they do. Meditation before sleep is such a gentle entry into this practice and it can transform your life in countless ways. Tonight's meditation will help you learn to trust yourself and embrace your truth so that you can sleep deeply tonight. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

Tonight we’re going to meditate on the slow sinking of the sun into the sky, and honor the natural transition from day into night. By doing so, we’ll begin to honor our own rhythms too. We are a part of nature and living more in tune with it brings greater peace and flow into your life. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-03:53) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (03:53-33:13) The pinks and the purples and the champagne sky of a glorious sunset can make you stop in your tracks and surrender to awe and wonder. Every single day, there is such a show though the drama of the sky that may vary greatly from evening to evening but the mysterious and wild shift from day to night is happening nonetheless. Something happens inside of you as well whenever the day fades into night. To honor our inner transitions, tonight’s sleep meditation will draw on the image of a sunset.

Tonight’s Sleep Meditation expands our relationship with discipline. By cultivating a healthy relationship with limitation, we see that limitation is one of our greatest gifts rather than adversity. This is because limitation gives our lives form and definition. It draws the lines of our experience and helps us shape our habits, which ultimately shapes our character. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:25) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (04:25-38:45) You’ve already done a nice thing for yourself tonight by choosing to listen to this podcast and meditate before sleep. You’ve chosen to consciously slow down your mind, bring awareness to your body and breath and cue your whole being that it’s time for sleep. It may have taken discipline to show up here today, to choose to get in bed and meditate, and if so, that’s okay. You did it. We’re here, and we’ll be better tomorrow for choosing to fall asleep in a conscious way tonight. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

Tonight we’re going to open ourselves up to feeling good, and all that may bring. By gently quieting your busy thoughts, you naturally begin to feel better. By feeling better it is easier to be open to the things you want, and they are more likely to make their way to you. There is a sense of ease in feeling good, a letting go, a confidence that even if things don’t always work out the way you expected that they’re still working out. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:10) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (04:10-37:17) The idea we are positing tonight is essentially the idea of manifestation. That word has gotten a lot of play in recent years, and may elicit an automatic eye roll for some, but what it means to Karissa is just this: being willing to feel good. If you choose to feel good about your career when I’m still trying to get it off the ground, or your health when you're sick, or sleep when you’ve been suffering from insomnia, it may seem silly at best, false or forced at worst. But when you open up to good things happening, and if you prepare yourself to feel good, when those good things come your way you are ready to hold on to them. Even if things don't go as planned, you may find yourself feeling good anyway. This is part of the magic that can come from meditation. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa we’re going to meditate on the complex subject of trust. If you’ve had your heart broken, or your faith diminished by something our someone in your life, I am so sorry. You are not alone. We are here together tonight, breathing, grounding, meditating, and beginning to open ourselves up to be able to trust again. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-05:13) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (05:13-37:23) Tonight’s sleep meditation explores what it is that we can put our trust in to give us a sense of firm footing in our relationships as well as our place in the universe. Just as the foundation of a house must be sound if the house has any chance of surviving, we must be able to trust on some fundamental level in order to function and flourish.

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we are going to reconnect to the feelings of safety, comfort and ease of being safe in our beds. Immersing yourself in these sensations will help your body to relax fully and deeply, and a relaxed body leads to a relaxed mind. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:53) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (04:53-38:48) Our beds are a place of refuge. It doesn’t always feel that way when we are tossing and turning though, or when sleep is more foe than friend. Tonight’s sleep meditation is about becoming the calm at the center of the storm and taking refuge within your own center. To some, this may sound like the exact opposite of refuge. Many people look outside of themselves for comfort when conditions and circumstances seem turbulent. Let's access that place of calm and tranquility with in ourselves, and through meditation become our own shelter from the storm. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we take inspiration from Halloween to help us look at the things that we keep beneath the surface, and playfully acknowledge the darker parts of life so that we can integrate them. Meditation is a wonderful way to integrate all the parts of ourselves, which helps soothe our minds. Get cozy and take a deep breath, as we go on a meditation journey together. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:13) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:13-38:48) The origins of Halloween have roots in a Celtic festival known as Samhain. The festival was a way to welcome the harvest and usher in the darker half of the year. Light and dark are so fundamental to our lives and the lives of every human being who has come before that we have co-evolved with the light and the dark as essential features of our environment. Let's take time to look at the light and the dark tonight. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we learn that sometimes, when things are feeling overwhelming, a change of mindset can make everything seem a little better. Instead of feeling gloomy, tonight, we’re going to float in a pool of gratitude together, letting go of all the negative thoughts that are not serving us. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-03:58) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (03:58-34:43) It is our thoughts that decide whether we are free or unfree. As Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, “There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so.” So basically, a little positive thinking goes a long way. So, get comfortable and cozy in your bed, take a deep breath, and let’s meditate together in gratitude, before drifting off to a deep and restorative sleep.

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa we’re going to practice self-soothing before sleep, so that you can consciously slow down your mind and relax your body. Honing this skill will help you sleep deeply and also bring more ease and peace to your days. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:23) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:23-40:12) Tonight, we will take stock of our current allostatic load. That is to say, we will check in to see how much we are anticipating future stress. Through meditation, we can decrease the allostatic load that our bodies carry, not only preventing the knee-jerk reactions to stressful situations but over time, but also preventing the negative health effects of a chronically high level of stress. So, let your intention tonight be to practice conscious relaxation to gently soothe your nervous system to anticipate well-being. Let relaxation become a habit. Before you know it, your stress will be soothed, and you'll drift into peaceful sleep. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa we’re going to explore ways to quiet our minds so that even if the body is in pain it can still find rest. If this is something you’re experiencing tonight, if you are suffering from injury, feeling a little unwell, if you're a little worn out or just having trouble sleeping, know that you are not alone. Meditate with Karissa, and train yourself to reach deep relaxation regardless of any obstacles you may be facing. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:28) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:28-37:18) Pain is like a message from the body to the mind. It isn’t that pain is something to be hoped for, in fact, it can and should be avoided if at all possible but when it is present, its signal should be honored. The first step to honoring the signal that pain is sending is to simply stop trying to push it away. For this brief time, practice mindfulness with whatever is arising in the present moment. Simply watch what is happening without reinforcing the same familiar story that you associate with what is arising. With relaxation comes healing, so meditate with Karissa tonight, and make space for your body to rest, drifting into a deep and restorative sleep. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we’re going to consciously take off the masks we wear day-to-day, immersing ourselves in the quiet place inside ourselves so that we can rest fully and wake up tomorrow feeling integrated and ready to face whatever the day may bring. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:27) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:27-38:13) Even today in our modern world, the masks we wear inform others how they should relate to us. The personas we take on from day to day are characters that we have crafted over the course of our lives; a personality that you’ve honed by learning strategies about how best to win friends and accolades, or at least achieve basic goals in social situations. Sometimes we become so preoccupied with putting on social masks and being who people want us to be, that we forget that we are wearing a mask. So consider tonight's meditation as a gentle reminder to take the mask off and allow your identity to shift away from the role you play in society and toward the depth of your being, deep, deep down and way, way in.

Tonight’s Sleep Meditation with Karissa is an invitation to spend some time in the ocean of being, letting the waves come and go. Meditation has taught Karissa that things come and go and come and go. Just like a wave. Emotions can act this way. You may feel totally fine one moment, and some time later, not so much. And that’s okay. You might be at the crest of the wave right now, but soon it will subside. Meditating before sleep can help us both become aware of this impermanence and allow us to become relaxed by the “wave” instead of disturbed by it. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:48) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:48-38:37) Let’s not confuse the wave with the ocean. The wave is a transient modulation in the form of the ocean. These waves of emotion can easily carry us away from the peace and contentment that is our natural state of mind. Rather than being hyper-vigilant about never letting waves of emotion get the better of us, another strategy is to pay attention to your point of view. Are you the wave or are you the ocean? The truth is you can be both. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we are going to learn how to surrender- surrender to our beds, surrendering our worries, opening our mind and body up to all the peace that is available to us. By surrendering we can release our anxiety, ceasing to struggle to control our minds and the world around us, and allowing sleep to take over. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:36) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:36-35:40) Surrendering is easier said that done, of course. Our minds want to fix problems, and yet the beautiful and mysterious part of meditation is that by releasing thoughts of the how or when or why, the answers can actually make their way to us. Tonight we’re going to practice getting quiet and still so our minds can arrive in the present moment, and drift off to a healing sleep. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa we’ll focus together on the natural and abundant flow of rain to help soothe our busy minds and connect us to our deeper selves. Let’s take a deep breath, get comfy, and go with the flow of rest so that tomorrow we can wake up feeling refreshed and renewed. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-03:57) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (03:57-38:96) Rain represents a phase in a cycle of renewal and regeneration, without which resources are depleted and life becomes defined by scarcity and deprivation. With rain, life springs eternal and the cleansing properties of water wash away the veil of obstruction that clouded our vision. Tonight’s Sleep Meditation will remind you that there is refreshment, renewal and abundance falling into your life, perhaps when you least expect it, and that you should acknowledge the difficult times as an opportunity to steady yourself as you persevere until the rain comes, bringing with it the blessings of renewal and regeneration.

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we will create a quiet space in our minds, where we can release our regrets. Let's let go of the questions and instead settle into the stillness of now so that we can begin tomorrow refreshed and more able to face whatever comes our way. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:35) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:35-35:12) Tonight’s meditation will release you from the negative effects of regret. Instead of dwelling on your regret, accept it. When you acknowledge that regret is a natural part of life, you are freed from becoming trapped by those very natural and even useful thoughts. Regrets are insights as well. You can look back on your past actions and having lived through the whole set of consequences, you can discern certain principles. Then, going forward, let those principles guide your steps. The regret emotion that you feel is like a message from your past that says, “There is another way to go. You don’t have to keep taking the same path.” So, let's meditate together, and begin to work on our relationship with regret, stilling our minds, and finding peace with our past as we drift off to sleep.

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa we’re going to release any feelings of comparison and bring peace and awareness to our own unique paths in life while we drift off to a soothing rest. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:14) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:14-34:44) When you look at a really beautiful sunset, you may admire it, awestruck, without feeling envy. The beauty you see in the sunset does not diminish your perception of your own beauty. Yet, when we encounter someone who is beautiful, or successful, or particularly happy, we often experience resentment or envy. Tonight, we shine light on this, and learn to embrace the truly transformative potential of practicing Mudita, responding to someones happiness and success with genuine delight and joy, rather than destructive comparison.

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we are going to connect to ourselves. We will respond to any disconcerting questions you have surrounding your identity, with the mantra “I Am.”, finding peace with our identity before drifting off to sleep. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Jessica (00:00-05:01) Before tonight's Sleep Hypnosis (05:01-36:24) The question of “Who Am I?” can pop up many times in our lives. It can be a disconcerting idea, one that can easily keep us up at night. In response to these feelings, remember that there is that current there, the “you” that lingers throughout all of your transformations. Connecting to that steady, constant part of yourself can help you find peace and rest. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we’re going to consciously let go of stress and immerse ourselves in the sweetness of quiet, through a visualisation of the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:47) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:47-41:06) Aurora was the name of the Greek goddess of the dawn.

In tonight’s Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we will bring you to a relaxing lake house to gradually unwind from your busyness and let the lake teach you her secrets and impart her wisdom. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-05:05) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (05:05-42:08) The process of actually downshifting into a slower pace is an opportunity for insight. At the lake, you realize that even though nature seems to be standing still, apparently content to just be, she is continuously producing and benefits everything. Perhaps the habit of being busy is not really about being productive so much as it is about having something to do. You begin to see that nature does nothing and leaves nothing undone.

Tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa will guide you through a practice of mindfulness, by exploring and savouring the 5 senses and helping you to journey inward towards the source of your senses. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-04:43) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:43-35:02) The senses are our way into beauty. But we can blunt our senses. We can look without seeing, hear without listening, touch without feeling… in other words we can easily fall into a pattern of unawareness, missing that aesthetic experience that is at the heart of life. To refine your senses and little by little increase your capacity for appreciation is a worthy pursuit in any life, which gives you the sensitivity needed to be present and mindful.

In tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we will explore our relationship with time and how the movement of time can be an entry into the moment of presence. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-05:00) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (05:00-37:56) In the present moment, movement yields to stillness. People often think of eternity as a really long time. Eternity is not a really long time but it is rather a dimension, which lies beyond time. If time is about moving from here to there or there to here, eternity is always simply here. Tonight, we learn to slow down and take our time to rest, rejuvenate, and be still.

In tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we will travel to Paris, to experience 'joie de vivre', and drift off with contentment in our minds and peace in our hearts. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-05:12) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (05:12-34:44) In this meditation, we are going to appreciate the beauty and joy of the world around us. Joie de vivre means the joy of living. It implies much more than those three simple words would seem to say. To have joie de vivre means to approach everything with a sense of acceptance and even gratitude, regardless of whether or not you wanted it to happen that way. It means to meet life on its own terms and say a hearty “yes” to what life presents. Tonight’s sleep meditation will take you on a stroll through Paris and remind you that joie de vivre is a practice of loving life, no matter what happens. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we’re going to gently say thank you to ourselves, letting go of tension as we are soothed into a deep and restorative sleep. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-04:58) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:58-39:24) In this meditation, we are going to appreciate and celebrate our body. The body is a marvelous creation and it’s the basis for every experience you’ll have in this lifetime. The body itself, as marvelous as it is, has limitations. But limitation is what gives life its potency, its romance and its beauty. Without limitation, when you look up at the night sky, would there be any point of reference from which to stand aghast at the immensity of the universe? So tonight we’re going to gently say thank you to ourselves, honouring the body not in spite of its limitations, but because of them, letting go of tension as we are soothed into a deep and restorative sleep.

Tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, has been designed to help you come to terms with any decision to may need to make in life, so you can sleep easy tonight. In tonight's practice, we’re going to meditate on the decision, releasing into quiet, so that we can wake up tomorrow feeling rested and more in tune with our inner guide. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (00:00-05:04) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (05:04-41:08) All too often, decisions keep us up at night. But meditating on these things before sleep can be so enlightening because as you lay in bed, with the focus of quieting your mind, you can feel into your body in a more complete way than you can in the day. The world is quiet, as are you, so you can settle into sensation and intention rather than research and list-making. Bring to mind any decision you are trying to make now, and let it go into silence.

In tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we’re going to surround ourselves with reassurance and kindness, really caring for ourselves. Breathe deeply and feel relief in your mind and body as you settle into this sleep meditation, knowing this rest will help you to handle anything that may come your way by morning’s light. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-04:34) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (04:34-35:56) Fear is not a thing anyone enjoys feeling, and yet it is something that we all feel, from time to time. Fear is a necessary response that is meant to protect us - to ignite our fight or flight response - but sometimes that can get over-activated and leave us awake at night. While of course sometimes there is really something that requires our action and the fear is there as a tool, most of the time a lot of the fear is in our minds, thinking about things that might or might not ever happen.

In tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we’re going to go on a visualization journey together to Tuscany as we immerse ourselves in “il dolce far niente”, the sweetness of doing nothing as we drift off to a delicious sleep. This meditation will transport you to beautiful rolling hills, so you can unwind from your day and quickly find rest, tonight. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-04:46) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (4:46-35:16) The Italian countryside of central Italy known as Tuscany, with its idyllic landscapes and deep history is the quintessential destination to retreat from the routine and renew one’s vision of what is really necessary to live a good life. La Dolce Far Niente is the Italian phrase, which translates as “the sweetness of doing nothing.” It has become a practice unto itself. The sweetness of doing nothing is really the sweetness of living. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we will focus on us consciously slowing down and letting go together. Clinging to sleep can push it away, and yet surrendering to what is can actually invite it in. We're going to let go, let go (and let go some more!) of anything that we may be holding onto too tightly. Let yourself get comfortable, feel supported, and open to the sweet rest that wants to flow in, as we meditate together. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-04:40) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (4:40-36:40) Letting go of what drains us is a practice that takes discipline. Deciding what drains you and what makes you stronger is a personal question but a very important one to ask oneself. Simply asking if this thought or this behaviour or this circumstance is adding to or detracting from my store of energy can be enough to begin the process of discernment; that is the process of knowing what nourishes me versus what drains me. If we can practice letting go of what doesn’t make us stronger, we will find a store of energy that we didn’t even realize was available to us. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

Tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, will use the idea of loving-kindness and interconnectedness to ground and focus us as we settle into sleep. Focusing your mind beyond yourself and out into those around you can have a very calming and soothing effect. It can help stimulate feelings of warmth and love and slow down your busy mind so that you rest better and awaken happier, feeling more connected to everyone and everything around you.

Tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, has been written based on our Sleep Wave user's requested themes, and is all about letting worrisome feelings go. Anxiety is a familiar companion for most of us, so tonight we’re going breathe slowly and consciously as we meditate so that we can release anxiety and feel safe and calm, right here and now. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-04:33) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (4:33-37:24) Anxiety often spikes when we’re feeling unsafe or unsupported in some way. It sometimes becomes a chronic feeling though, one that keeps us up at night. It could be any number of things that trigger it - worry over health, finances, time, relationships, work, your loved ones, decisions you need to make...you name it. The good news is that your breath is like a magical key to help turn the anxiety down a few notches. The breath is our most powerful ally, because when the breath slows down, the body can begin to feel safe. Love the Sleep Wave Podcast?

In tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we invite you to make an intention about what you’d like to grow and cultivate this spring. Then, let it all go as we let the sweetness of spring lull us into a peaceful and restorative sleep, so tomorrow you can awaken feeling fresh as a daisy. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-04:16) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (4:16-35:04) As the equinox happens, the earth is once again, turning toward the light. We can use this time to do the same. We often carry heavy burdens or attitudes that drain our energy and dissipate our reserves. The equinox offers an opportunity to shine a light on what we are carrying that doesn’t make us stronger. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's guided Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we’ll gently soothe your racing thoughts to a slow and steady meander so you can rest peacefully. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-05:02) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (5:02-34:20) When our minds are quiet and serene, the calmness of our human nature is reflected in our conscious awareness. If a stone is thrown into the lake and ripples scatter across the water, the reflected image is distorted. Likewise, when thoughts cause our minds to fluctuate, that natural tranquillity is obscured and our minds can become disconnected. Tonight’s sleep meditation will employ techniques and concepts from this time-tested system to not only calm a racing mind but hopefully create clarity and insight about the inner-workings of your mind.

Tonight’s Sleep Meditation, guided by Karissa, has been inspired by your feedback, as we know that stress can be a real problem for many of our listeners. Hopefully this episode can help you let go of that feeling and find true relaxation, leading to a restful sleep. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-04:33) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (4:33-38:32) There’s nothing inherently wrong with stress. In some sense, it’s always been with us. Life itself is an adaptation to stress. This doesn’t mean that the purpose of life is stress. Stress is simply a condition. One to which all living things must have some relationship. People pay money to go to the movies and follow a story until they become so immersed in the circumstances that they have a stress response to the action. It’s big business. So since stress is not the main problem people have, in and of itself, what is it about stress that is so detrimental to our health and happiness? Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

In tonight's Sleep Meditation, guided by Karissa, we’re going to go on a walk together in our minds, as we stroll through the Redwood Forest to find a sweet inner stillness and clarity as we meander into a soothing rest. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-4:10) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (4:10-34:04) Trees have a special resonance with humanity. When we are in a forest, something deep and ancient within us vibrates and we feel a connection to the earth, which is often overlooked in cities and built environments. There is a sense of coming home to ourselves when we are in the forest. Forests are wild and unfettered; a delicate ecosystem of mutual interdependence. They have the ability to make us see our own interconnectedness. Tonight we will call upon this connection we have to trees and harmonize with their nourishing and cleansing energy in order to relax the mind and reconnect to the world soul.

In tonight's Sleep Meditation, guided by Karissa, we will explore how to welcome a new stage of your life and how to rise to the occasion. Whether that be parenthood, work, a relationship, your health, getting a handle on your sleep...whatever it is, tonight’s meditation will help you develop the ability to honour and appreciate yourself as you drift off to sleep so that you can approach tomorrow with fresh, capable, loving eyes. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-4:00) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (4:00-33:20) Yesterday’s weather is in the past. Still, there’s no doubt that yesterday’s weather patterns have an effect on those of today; just as today’s weather will most certainly affect tomorrow’s and so on. We can speak of yesterday and today as distinct moments but there’s an undeniable link of cause and effect that reveals a continuum between past, present and future. Tonight’s sleep meditation will illuminate how there is a continuum in our minds, our bodies, our habits and patterns of thought, feeling, sensation and memory.

Tonight's Sleep Meditation, guided by Karissa, will help us contemplate the winding roads life takes us on while on a visualization meditation to the beautiful Cinque Terre, travelling through its ancient paths while exploring the path to the centre of yourself. Get cosy and settle in, surrounded by peace and appreciation while we travel to a deeper sense of calm, together. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-4:03) Before tonights Sleep Meditation (4:03-37:48) At the eastern end of the Italian Riviera, five fishing towns perched on the cliffs of the Ligurian coast are each home to a few thousand villagers and from mid-May to late September, a throng of tourists pass through the beautiful cobblestone streets and the yellow, pink, orange pastel buildings that line those streets. Tonight’s sleep meditation is a visit to the Cinque Terre of Northern Italy. It’s a place with a history that dates back to the Roman Empire. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

Soothe your mind with Karissa Vacker tonight, as we explore the practice of becoming still and quiet, to help you weather both life’s challenges and its gifts and let you sleep a bit better through it all. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-4:07) Before tonights Sleep Meditation (4:07-35:45) Sometimes the snow falls, the lights go out, something happens that stops us in our tracks. When these things happen, it can be good to be still for a moment, to regroup, to rest. Sleep is often especially difficult to come by as our minds try to figure out what’s next. While we may like to trust that things always work out, sometimes you can't have a rainbow without a little rain. Just like the addendum - “Things always work out in the end. If they haven’t worked out yet, it’s not the end.” Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

Let's slow down with Karissa Vacker tonight, as we explore one of the most powerful benefits of meditation, the ability to actually hear your own thoughts. We’re going to explore that idea by going on a journey, where we will meditate on the stillness and steadiness of a mountain, helping us cut through the noise and hear ourselves clearly, so we can focus on falling asleep peacefully. First, we'll start with a calm catch up with Karissa (0:00-4:07) Before tonights Sleep Meditation (4:07-37:26) Whether you’ve been meditating for years or this is your first time, we’re going to just be here together, breathe deeply, and gently become aware of our own thoughts so that sleep can come easier. Who knows? Maybe tomorrow might feel a little brighter too. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

Tonight, surrender into sleep with your host Karissa Vacker on Sleep Wave as she guides you on a soothing Sleep Meditation, designed to help you fall asleep and stay asleep, tonight.

Is there anything in your life you want to bring some surrender to? There are so many things we hold on to too tightly - our relationships, our goals, the identities we build for ourselves, our children, our needs.

Tonight, flow into sleep with your host Karissa Vacker on Sleep Wave as she guides you on a reassuring Sleep Meditation, designed to help you fall asleep and stay asleep, tonight. Is there anything in your life you could bring some ease and flow to? For Karissa, she notices a subtle (or sometimes not so subtle) tension in her body when she thinks of something she's holding onto too tightly or when things are not going to plan. With us all, we will feel our shoulders tense, we might get a headache or a pit in our stomach. These are all signs that we could use some space, and some flow around that topic. With tonight's meditation, delve into the opportunity to create that awareness as we tune into our bodies and just let everything go. How are we doing with Sleep Wave?

Tonight, let it all go with your host Karissa Vacker on Sleep Wave as she guides you on a reassuring Sleep Meditation, designed to help you fall asleep and stay asleep, tonight. If there is something on your mind that is keeping you up tonight or if you are finding yourself having a whole conversation with someone who is not even there - this one is for you. You very well may need to fight for the cause that’s on your mind tonight, but if you take this short, precious time to meditate on it before sleep, the chances of it resolving in a satisfying way are much more likely. Beyond that, you are opening the door for a better, more peaceful night of sleep. Meditation is not about ignoring anything or sweeping it under the rug, it’s about sitting with what is, even the things that are uncomfortable, so we can release those feelings and eventually sleep better.

Tonight, feel at peace with your host Karissa Vacker on Sleep Wave as she guides you on a reassuring Sleep Meditation, designed to help you fall asleep, and stay asleep, tonight. Contentment is very much like touching your toes, you’ve got to practice it consistently for it to happen consistently. Fully accepting the moment, even if there are things you’d like to change, is empowering. Sleep may be a challenge tonight but simply being content that you are lying in your bed, safe, warm and quiet is something to appreciate and be present with. In tonight's Sleep Meditation, we’re going to breathe and meditate together as we go on a visualisation journey to India to find contentment and a night of restorative sleep.

Insomnia can be a serious and recurring problem that deeply affects a person’s life, but it doesn't need to be your story. Telling new stories to ourselves can truly help release anxiety.

Tonight, relax with your host Karissa Vacker on Sleep Wave as she guides you on a Sleep Meditation centred around how embracing change can help us sleep deeper, and fall asleep faster. The idea of change can be bittersweet. We’ve all had moments in life that we know are extraordinary and then the time seems fleeting - when we’re falling in love, or on a trip someplace lovely, watching an incredible sunset or accomplishing some type of dream or ambition. Conversely, anxious times can seem to last forever and then the idea of incoming change is a gift. Whether we’re clinging to some moments or wanting to fast forward through others the truth remains that change is a constant. In tonight's sleep meditation, we’ll let go of the need for things to be any different than they are, so you can unwind and sleep effortlessly tonight. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!

Tonight, settle down with your host Karissa Vacker on Sleep Wave as she guides you on a Sleep Meditation all about how going to sleep with a grateful heart can help us achieve deeper sleep, quicker than ever. It’s November as we're recording this week's episode, which in the US means Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It feels like the perfect time to talk about gratitude. It's been documented that a nightly gratitude and meditation practice can help us feel better and calmer. By doing this at night, our nighttime analysis can begin to quiet down a bit too, so that our sleep is better. The best part though is learning to collect things to be grateful for throughout the day for our list at night, so we don't miss those magical moments!

Tonight, relax your mind with your host Karissa Vacker on Sleep Wave as she guides you on a Sleep Meditation all about relaxing into your truth, for deeper rest. There is something incredibly powerful in trusting yourself. Trusting your voice. By spending a lot of time quiet with yourself you’re better able to trust yourself when you speak.

Meditation before sleep is such a gentle entry into this practice and it can transform your life in countless ways.

Love is a powerful positive force. We love our children, our parents, our lovers, our friends. There are many people who devote themselves to cultivating love and compassion for the whole of humanity. But in all your outpouring of love towards others, have you been able to give yourself the benefit of your own loving-kindness? Sometimes, we treat ourselves in such a way that, if we were to treat someone else that way, we would be considered rude, at best and perhaps even cruel. Tonight's sleep meditation offers a conscious connection with your capacity for love and compassion; powerfully restorative emotions, which you deserve as much as the people you love. It’s a healing practice, which can leave you feeling cosy and peaceful, wrapped up in the warm blanket of your own goodness and worthiness. Join Sleep Wave Premium ✨ in just two taps!
