Sleep Visualization: Calming Colours 1/10

Sleep Visualization: Calming Colours

There's a whole rainbow of colors that Sergio Perera will help you harness to find calm in this sleep visualization. That's if you can make it past the first color bar on your rainbow. As member Inde shared: "Sergio says, 'Think of your favorite color' 2 minutes in ... BLUE ... and then lights out!"

Meditation: You are Golden 2/10

Meditation: You are Golden

When you need to deflect negativity and find your inner strength, this meditation is your friend. Legend Aminah pressed play before going into her first job interview in 12 years: "I would not have been calm were it not for Michael Olajide Jr.'s You are Golden. I had never meditated before joining Centr and now it's become an integral part of my life and getting me through big moments like today."

Meditation: Stop Giving a F*ck in a Few Minutes 3/10

Meditation: Stop Giving a F*ck in a Few Minutes

Language warning: Fabrice Midal's meditation may cause you to cut the bulldust! Legend Vishal sees it as a way to apply logic to all the negative thoughts running through your head: "If it's important, identify what you can do about it. If it isn’t, then ignore it and tell it to F off." Eden found it simply "made me stop when I was in a stressed state and literally do nothing for 9 minutes. Exactly what I needed before I worked myself up".

Meditation: Everything is OK 4/10

Meditation: Everything is OK

Speed and seriousness of the news cycle got you feeling overwhelmed? Legend Laura hits play on this: "Sergio guided me through a lot of emotions today and I felt so much better after this."

Sleep Visulization: Find Calm Under the Canopy 5/10

Sleep Visulization: Find Calm Under the Canopy

Michael Olajide Jr. – boxing champ or sleep whisperer? For Legend Cynthia, it's the latter. "I heard my favorite new saying during this sleep visualization: 'Now is not the time for problem-solving'. It's always when I'm drifting off that I remember a hundred things I suddenly NEED to do. His saying is my new mantra. And my sleep is so much better."

Meditation: Relieve Your Anxiety 6/10

Meditation: Relieve Your Anxiety

Having a bad week? Can't get past what's worrying you? Legend Layla highly recommends this meditation from Ally Bogard: "I’ve found it really helps get my focus back when I can’t see past all the bad things that are happening." Listen, breathe and quiet your mind.

Sleep Visualization: Your Mountain Escape 7/10

Sleep Visualization: Your Mountain Escape

The great part about sleep visualizations is that they can help us escape the same four walls. Here, Michael whisks you away to a picturesque mountain retreat. "I am sleeping like a baby every single night," says member Hazel. Dustin agrees: "I have literally not slept this good in 5 years." Shhh, you're welcome.

Sleep Visualization: Swim with Dolphins 8/10

Sleep Visualization: Swim with Dolphins

Before we introduced our new Sleep for Kids, our members with children had already discovered how much their children benefited from our sleep visualizations, too. When Danalyn's 7 year old couldn't switch off his brain at bedtime, he asked to "sleep under the stars" – no, not a campout, but "that thing on your phone that helps me sleep". So Danalyn hit play, Sergio's soothing voice kicked in and "he fell asleep to the dolphins". Now that's our kind of bedtime story.

Sleep for Kids: Starry Night 9/10

Sleep for Kids: Starry Night

Narrated by Chris especially for kids, to help families find some calm. "Our 3.5 year old, who certainly isn’t the easiest to settle, dropped out like a light," says Adam. Emily says: "Anxiety runs in my family and these days it’s running high and affecting sleep. My 13 y.o. twins used this – one fell right to sleep and they both reported NO bad dreams. Yay! So happy to have a positive aid for the whole family."

Meditation for Kids: Share Your Kindness 10/10

Meditation for Kids: Share Your Kindness

This meditation from Chris helps kids let go of stress and feel more connected to others. Legend Nestor listened with his daughter and has a tip for other parents: "I wasn’t ready for the feels!" Erica caught a dose of the feels, too: "It made me tear up happy tears... Adults need these, too!" And Haim has already made the meditations part of his family's evening routine: "Share Your Kindness is absolutely amazing and emotional. Kids and us loved it."
