Let the River Carry Your Worries Away | A Guided Sleep Story for the Busy Mind

Tonight, let the river carry away everything you've been holding onto. This sleep story is a gentle guided release, a slow body scan, and a soft breathing exercise, designed to help a busy, overactive mind finally quiet down and drift into deep, restorative sleep. Sit by a slow-moving river as you release what your body and mind have been carrying: the tension you didn't realize you were holding, the stress that won't quiet down, and the low hum of anxiety underneath it all. Let each one be carried downstream, one stone at a time. If you needed permission to set it all down tonight, this is it. 🌙 What this video includes: Guided relaxation beside the river Three gentle releases: tension, stress, and anxiety A slow, easy breathing exercise A full body scan A long, uninterrupted drift into sleep 💛 New here?
