The Tender Hour
Guided Sleep Meditation · Hel's Quiet Hall
A guided sleep meditation to help you fall asleep, gently voiced by the Norse goddess Hel. 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 can let go all the way down. Hel, keeper of the great quiet hall at the roots of the world, receives you exactly as you are, tired and unfinished and human, and lets you set down every burden in the warm, safe dark. There is nothing to prove here, and nothing to fix. Only the deepest rest, for as long as you need it.
This is part of The Goddess Meditations, a series of female-voiced sleep meditations from The Sleeping Almanac, 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.
New sleep meditations every Monday and Friday. Subscribe and turn on the bell so a goddess can sit with you each night.
