About this listen

Headphones recommended.

Surrender to total relaxation with this hypnotic sound bath that evokes a sense of safety and security. The resonant hum of crystal bowls has been shown to relax your body and nervous system, the perfect first step to deep sleep. In order to get the most out of your listening experience, pioneering sound therapist Sara Auster recommends you dim the lights and lie down or sit in a comfortable position with an eye mask and a blanket, silence any alerts or notifications, and use earphones. These things allow you to completely unplug and connect with the present moment to intentionally prepare for sleep. Your body has permission to slow down and rest, to receive without the need to respond or react. Begin your experience by focusing on your breath, then allow yourself to drift into a spacious and dreamlike state. All you have to do is arrive with an open mind, and listen.

Sara Auster is the leading voice in sound bath experiences and considered a master of the form. Sara has been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, Time, and O, The Oprah Magazine, and she has facilitated large-scale, site-specific sound-bath experiences at iconic venues around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, Madison Square Garden, Palais de Tokyo, and SummerStage in Central Park. Her live sound-bath events are celebrated as transformative, therapeutic experiences for balance, relaxation, and well-being. We’re thrilled to be able to bring this unique sound experience to the comfort of your own bedroom for the first time.

This title is part of the Audible Sleep Collection, exclusive audio experiences created to invite relaxation and sleep. New and free for members.

Wow!

That was very neat. I passed out after about 20 minutes of listening. Normally I take a very long time to fall asleep closer to 45 minutes to an hour. Super relaxing and pleasantly eerie

Works every single time....

I'm an avid sound machine listener at night and tried this on a whim, perfection. It took no time to fall asleep and that is a rarity for me. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Forceful

Parts of this soundscape are beautiful and embracing. Yet significant portions of the sound engineering are forceful in directing the mind’s attention to the path of the sound. Thus I didn’t find it so peaceful and encouraging of mindfulness as I found it willful on its own behalf.

I did not hear a narrator.

I much prefer Sara’s compositions in the vein of Tuning In, a much more spiritually generous track.

Sleep fast

This is my “go to” soundtrack when I have trouble falling asleep. This soundtrack puts me to sleep within minutes.

totally works

I have no idea why it works but it did. I had been struggling to fall asleep for days and the usual rain sounds weren't cutting it. when this started, I thought, "this is going to keep me awake...the tones are dissonant." to my shock and great relief, I almost immediately found myself drifting off.

Knocked me right out

Very effective for relaxation. The first time I listened to it, I woke up 90 minutes later. Subsequent listens make me feel so relaxed, it’s like my body is melting.
