A Trip To The Farmers Market | Let the Thoughts Drift
With You Until Sleep — 9 : A Trip To The Farmers Market | Let the Thoughts Drift
In this episode, I stay with you as you gently settle into rest.
You’ll hear a calm voice, gentle rambling, and space to let the day soften. There’s nothing you need to follow closely, and no pressure to fall asleep. You’re welcome to drift off whenever it happens.
This podcast is for you if nights feel long, restless, or lonely — or if you simply sleep better knowing someone is there.
In this episode you will hear an easy somatic settling and a story about a trip to the farmers market where I encounter the many different stalls, buy my vegetables, and meander around.
To get the most out of this episode:
- Listen somewhere you feel safe and comfortable
- You can use headphones or play it softly in the room
- Let yourself drift in and out of awareness
- If you fall asleep, that’s perfect
- If you don’t, that’s okay too
There’s no right way for this to work.
