This guided meditation for sleep is designed to help you settle into sleep at bedtime and wake up clear and focused the next day.
The meditation is by Lauren Ostrowski Fenton. The effects described here are the creator’s aims and listeners’ reports, not established findings. It complements professional care and is not a substitute for it: if sleep trouble or anxiety persists, a doctor or counsellor can help.
About the creator, in Lauren’s own words:
My name is Lauren. I produce guided meditations for sleep, meditations to reduce anxiety, and meditations to promote happiness. I am an Australian single mother of four amazing children. I have energetic twins and two beautiful spiritual, caring girls. In most ways, I feel blessed. But it was not always that way. In 2010 when my marriage ended my life changed in so many ways. At times I felt that I could not go on. I felt sad; I could not sleep and was anxious and lost. I knew that something about the way I saw my world had to change. I learned how to feel happy every day. I learned how to sleep, and I learned how to reduce my anxiety. I stopped allowing others to define my sense of self. I took back my power. I then devoted myself to helping others achieve peace, learn to sleep, and how to feel happy every day.
Do you ever feel lost? Do you ever feel stress, anxiety, or struggle to sleep? I know that I did. After years of feeling loss, experiencing stress, anxiety and struggling at times to sleep I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to help others feel relaxed happy and learn how to sleep.
I am a writer, life coach, and meditation teacher. I make guided meditations, meditations, and resources to help with sleep, reduce stress, aid study and promote well-being. I hold an Honours degree in Anthropology and a Masters in Counselling from Monash University, Australia, and have worked as a personal trainer, life coach, speaker, and Guided meditation teacher for many years. I present a podcast called ‘Being Well with Lauren,’ and I have a virtual wellness centre where you can download meditations and resources for happiness, guided meditation, stress reduction, and well-being. In my book Daily Rituals for Happiness, I candidly share my personal experience of loss, childhood bullying, relationship challenges, and the many ups and downs of being a single mum. I try to offer hope, support and practical advice to readers. I love what I do and feel like you as my viewer or listener are my friend.
