Do you find yourself muddling through sleepless nights and groggy days? Constantly frazzled, feeling anxious and exhausted? I’d love to share with you my techniques for a restful, full night’s sleep, as well as a tip for correcting your circadian rhythm.

In this episode, I want to share with you a guided meditation journey through nature. Think of it as a reset for a stressful day or the perfect start to a tranquil night. I also discuss some of the modern technology standing between us and optimal rest.

Tune in to Episode 23 of Flowerhood, to learn how to trade our smartphones, tablets, and artificial light for peace, calm, and rejuvenation.

Join me for a guided meditation starting at 10:55. (But please make sure you’re not driving while listening! You might be a little too relaxed for that!)

In this episode, you will learn:

How camping can be beneficial to resetting your circadian rhythm (1:28)
How the last 150 years of electricity has manipulated our natural rest patterns (2:01)
The ways meditation can enhance neuroplasticity and what that means for you and your sleep (5:53)
