About this listen

Sound baths are full-body listening experiences that calm the mind and body with resonant instruments like tuning forks and crystal bowls.

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.

This is an Audible Original Podcast. Free for members. When you add Sound Baths from Audible Sleep to your library, you'll receive all previous episodes and will continue to receive new ones as they're released.

started ok I fell asleep in the first podcast woken up by loud noise pointless , so now I am wide awake .
I wanted to be lulled into a deep sleep but what is the point if all of a sudden it gets so loud that you wake up I did not listen to the other chapters but went straight to the last one so I could warn you against another sleepless night

not for going to sleep as it got loud and woke me

These recordings are rendered virtually useless because Audible, in their infinite wisdom, stuck an overloud intro in the same "chapter". So if you're planning to listen to them in a sequence, or to the same one in a loop, you end up getting jarred out of the experience again and again.

Wildly annoying intros spoil everything

Not relaxing at all irritating

The recordings of the music are very relaxing but ruined by the intros. Please do a version without the intros.

The intros ruin what could be relaxing

it had annoying intros with that stupid generic voice which I find supremely grating and the sounds were almost as annoying

naff

Most tracks are too dissonant to encourage sleep. There's a time and a place for dissonance - bedtime is not it.

Dissonant sounds.

i cant describe this as anything other than truly awful . it was just a noise. i could hardly hear what the narrator was saying, it certainly wasnt relaxing and the only thing i was likely to let go of was my sanity. Far from encouring you to relax and let go it woke me completely and took me twice as long to drift off.

absolutely dreadful noise

It's a sound bath, it is meant to sound this way, learn to relax and embrace. Great free resource to aid calming breathing and relax before sleep. Thanks

Great Little free resource

Just annoying and headache making tones, then an awful, high pitched sudden, automated American accent saying complete tosh. Thank goodness this was free, But a total waste of time for Audivle producing it Don't bother downloading

Load of rubbish - Zéro stars
