Step into the hush of an ancient red cedar forest in this immersive guided sleep meditation inspired by the calming practice of forest bathing.

This relaxing bedtime visualisation gently transports you to a sacred woodland grove, where towering cedar trees, soft ferns, and the earthy scent of the forest create a natural atmosphere of peace and stillness. As you wander along a quiet trail, you’ll encounter a cool mountain spring, sunbeams filtering through the canopy, and the soothing presence of flowing water.

Forest bathing — a wellness practice rooted in Japanese preventive healthcare — has been shown to support relaxation by lowering stress, calming the nervous system, and fostering deep emotional restoration. This episode offers the next best thing to being there in person: a sensory-rich journey designed to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and unwind fully at the end of the day.

Perfect for listeners seeking:

• Guided sleep meditation for deep rest

• Forest ambience and woodland relaxation

• Stress relief and anxiety reduction

• Nature-based visualization for insomnia

• Peaceful bedtime storytelling

• Calming waterfall and cedar forest soundscapes
