The podcast explores what really makes people happy with inclusions of guided meditations, videos and talks with special guests including the Dalai Lama and various mediation teachers. Going beyond meditation, ‘10% Happier’ also explores how the mind is trainable where he believes how mental traits such as happiness, calm, generosity etc. are all skills that can be trained and by listening to the episodes in this podcast, you will learn how.
Our minds are constantly racing with thoughts about our life, family, pets, and so much more. However, it is often at night when we’re in bed that these thoughts and overthinking habits tend to rapidly increase, affecting our ability to fall asleep and effectively give our body the time it needs to rejuvenate. This then turns into a vicious cycle of becoming tired and cranky throughout the day. ‘Sleep With Me’ is a podcast that helps to forget about your problems by simply tuning into a story that progressively gets more boring until you eventually fall asleep. So, get into bed, press play, close your eyes and (hopefully) fall asleep.

Hosted by hypnotherapist, Chel Hamilton, this podcast could be the perfect addition to squeeze into your everyday routine to ensure that you are getting your daily dose of relaxation and positivity.
