Deep Sleep, Calming Meditation Music | Episode 12

In tonight's Sleep Meditation with Karissa, we learn that sometimes, when things are feeling overwhelming, a change of mindset can make everything seem a little better. Instead of feeling gloomy, tonight, we’re going to float in a pool of gratitude together, letting go of all the negative thoughts that are not serving us. First, we'll start with some relaxing insight from Karissa (00:00-03:58) Before tonight's Sleep Meditation (03:58-34:43) It is our thoughts that decide whether we are free or unfree. As Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, “There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so.” So basically, a little positive thinking goes a long way.
