    David Gandelman, a meditation teacher, author and founder of Meditation School and host of the Energy Matters podcast, leads a deep relaxation meditation for sleep. He says he has taught at Cornell University. It may help some people wind down at bedtime.

    This practice is offered for general relaxation. It complements, and does not replace, care from a health professional.
