A guided sleep meditation to help you fall asleep, gently voiced by the Japanese sun goddess Amaterasu. A soft female voice guides you for the first 20 minutes, then over 3 hours of calm music carries you through the night.

Tonight you do not have to shine for anyone. Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess who once hid her light away in a cave until the whole world went dark, sits with you in the quiet of your own cave, asks nothing of you, and holds up a mirror so you can finally see the light that has been burning in you all along. You only have to rest in the warm dark, and let her keep the watch until morning.

This is part of The Goddess Meditations, female-voiced sleep stories from The Tender Hour, each guided by a goddess of old myth.

HOW TO USE

Lie down, dim your screen, and let it play. The voice fades after 20 minutes so nothing wakes you; the music continues for about three hours. Headphones optional. Set a low volume.
