Comforting Soft Spoken Yoga Nidra Guided Meditation with Rain Sounds for Relaxation & Sleep
Ойын-сауық
PLEASE OPEN TO READ :) The kind of Yoga Nidra I share in this video is created to fully embrace rather than avoid sleep. Scroll down a little further where I explain this further :)
Welcome to this comforting soft spoken yoga nidra guided meditation with rain sounds for relaxation and sleep. Fall asleep fast with this yoga nidra guided sleep meditation that is guided by a soothing female voice as she takes you on a restful restorative journey to deep sleep! This calming guided relaxation for sleep uses a soft spoken voice & some whispers, along with rain sounds and gentle sleep music in the background is to help intensify and enhance your overall relaxation experience. The guided meditation ends with a repeated loop of relaxation phrases to help calm your nervous system as you blissfully drift off to sleep. The music continues for a few extra minutes but perhaps you won't notice anyway as I hope you'll be already fast asleep by the time the meditation ends. If you like this video please consider subscribing, sharing, liking and commenting as this really helps my channel grow.

PLEASE NOTE:
The kind of Yoga Nidra I share in this video is created to fully embrace rather than avoid sleep! Not all yoga teachers, however, take this approach. Many yoga instructors encourage their yoga nidra students to not fall asleep and to stay fully aware through the whole meditation. Jennifer Piercy (Yogic Sleep Expert, Educator & Mentor) speaks about how Yoga Nidra is about awareness and NOT clinging to waking. She states that sleep isn’t about losing consciousness, instead, sleep is PART of consciousness. So if you prefer to stay awake, aware and alert then you don't have to fall asleep while listening :) You can make the intention to be fully aware through the meditation or set an alarm so that when the meditation is over you can return back to your activities. :) But if you want to use this as a sleep aid, then go ahead and give yourself full permission to embrace the restful energy of sleep. You can read more on this on the blog post by Jennifer Piercy where she explains her views on using Nidra for sleep.

TIME STAMPS:
face to face introduction 0:00 - 2:32
centering, becoming fully present 2:33
softly spoken yoga nidra (with whispers) begins 7:45
The guided meditation ends with a "repeated loop" of relaxation phrases to help calm your nervous system as you blissfully drift off to sleep.
I hope you enjoy the softly spoken & whispered ASMR voice during this beautiful relaxation journey. My intention was to help calm your nervous system and to distract your body and mind away from the stress response. I almost fell asleep a few times as I was editing the audio for this video! I hope this has the same effect on you 😇

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments! I must admit I have really missed connecting with you all 😞 As much as I really love creating guided meditations (which I will continue to do), I do find there is a lot more engagement and comments with my ASMR listeners which I have really missed over the last 9-10 months. The ASMR community is so engaging and loving and it has been really really hard for me to leave it behind.After reading your comments, I have decided that I will definitely be making more face to face videos and guided meditations that include ASMR qualities such as soft speaking, whispering, face to face chats with comforting words, and perhaps even just a chat with a cuppa tea while I show you some personal things as a way of spending quiet time together. Maybe I will even read a book for bedtime relaxation on video for you as a way of helping your feel safe and calmer at bedtime. Let me know what you guys think and any other ideas you may have. My channel will always be your safe place where you will find comfort, relaxation and security because I really do love you all so much 💕 Joanne xo

I love your videos. It's a beautiful thing you offer the world. You have such a calm loving presence which does help me feel safe and calm. Those of us with post traumatic stress disorder know that even though the trauma ended long ago I still find myself clenched up and tense as if it is happening to me right now. I need help outside of myself to relax my muscles sometimes. So I'm grateful you are sharing this gift. Thank you for being willing to put yourself out there. We may never meet but you have helped me through a rough patch of insomnia. I love your bedtime stories. I prefer longer stories as I need at least an hour to wind down for sleep once in bed. I enjoy your other videos too.

Thank you for the yoga nidra. I slept peacefully
Just started to listen to this meditation so I was not aware that you were not around for awhile. Glad I found this now. Of course, the voice is unique and calming. The best part for me is the body scan. Very direct and clear without a lot of mumbo jumbo....good job and thank you.
Christmas has come early cuz we just got the gift of your magnificent caring spirit in living form Mom ☺️💖💝 You should definitely keep that backdrop you used if you do the video intros again. I love the flowers that flowed when you first started talking. That animation is dazzling. I think this video gives us the best of both worlds with a hint of asmr & we get your normal voice too Joanne. You had the perfect sound setting with the singing bells & the water. To me, your voice & support gives me energy, hope, & the best nurturing. It'll be Thanksgiving here on the 28th & I'm thankful for you being my Mom & my friend & for never abandoning me here. You always invited to my dinner. Wishing you a blessed week - Georgio 🥮🍁🍂☕

The ASMR approach was a challenge initially but I quickly learned that it really set me up for a very relaxing approach to sleep. Thank you for effort and dedication to helping others like me.
