Great mixture of sounds, very informative too & educational. Alex is great to listen to

Love all of it, especially the thunder and whale songs. Not usually a fan of birdsong but this was nice, not too busy. Loved the nostalgia sounds, walking around the fun fair at the seaside etc. Calms my anxiety really well during the night. Everyone needs to listen to this series, to remind themselves of the beautiful world in which we live.

Amazing insight and nature's sounds and healing powers

I absolutely loved this and I'll recommend it to many people. This audio is a gem, needs to be shared with loads of people so they can enjoy the healing powers of nature and it's awe and simple but strong miracles

The perfect balm in a busy world

Beautifully presented. A timeless gem that can be listened to again and again. It is so easy to feel overwhelmed by the way we live and to lose connection with what really matters. This simply transported me. I could feel my shoulders drop and my breathing slow. Just take a moment and listen. And then listen again. You won’t regret it.

Love this!!!

Beautifully narrated, soulful sounds, calming, inspiring and evidence based. Compulsory listening for all, should be taught in schools. A precious gem amidst the chaos!

it really seems to work

I was a bit skeptical about it but I fell asleep without medication which is unusual for me.
