A guided sleep meditation to help you fall asleep, gently voiced by the Welsh goddess Cerridwen. 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 carry the day any further. Cerridwen, the Welsh goddess who keeps the great cauldron of transformation, takes everything the day left tangled and heavy and lifts it into the warm dark of her cauldron, where it will cook slowly, through the night, into something you can use by morning. You only have to lie still, and let her tend the fire while you sleep.

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.
