Sometimes we just need to let it fall away. This short guided meditation invites you to take a few minutes for yourself, release the weight you've been carrying, and give yourself a fresh start. It doesn't take long to feel a little lighter, a little more relaxed, and a little more in control. So get comfortable and take a moment for yourself.

Meditation Tides is a place where you may enjoy high-quality, short guided meditations completely FREE, designed to help you find peace, release stress and worry, reconnect with yourself, and feel a little better in just a few minutes. These bite-sized practices focus on mindfulness, emotional well-being, self-care, positive affirmations, and using your imagination to create moments of calm throughout your day.

Created by Michelle Hotaling of Michelle's Sanctuary, Meditation Tides builds upon her work creating original guided meditations and bedtime stories since 2015, bringing her signature nurturing approach to mindfulness into shorter practices that fit into even the busiest days.

This channel is not a replacement for consultations with a doctor or medical professional but can help you find more balance and relief from stress.

Set aside five minutes and release the pressure to be perfect and embrace the beautiful freedom of being enough, just as you are. In this guided meditation, let go of impossible expectations, soften your inner critic, and remember that your worth has never depended on getting everything right. Give yourself permission to be wonderfully human, to grow at your own pace, and to find peace in the person you are becoming.

Loving yourself doesn't always sound soft. Sometimes it sounds like anger, arriving before peace does — insisting on being heard.

This meditation explores anger as a meaningful emotion, helping you understand what it may be protecting, revealing, or asking you to acknowledge. Through breath and reflection, create space to meet anger without shame and reconnect with the self-worth beneath it.
