Solid program. Narration a bit fast.

Overall I liked this, although it was very different from most guided meditation I've experienced before. On the plus side, the pacing meant I didn't really have the opportunity for my mind to wander off.

Jade has a very distinctive accent, which coupled with the brisk pace of narration was a bit too fast for comprehension to my tired Midwestern ears. Keep that in mind if you're expecting the typical slow and enunciated narration that is standard for guided practice.

Distracting voice, pronunciation and accent

Kind of a preaching voice which kept me awake wondering why any American would pronounce “awareness” like “weenus.” Spoke too quickly and not gently at all. Harsh voice for any audiobook, but for a sleeptime book, it’s miserable.

Narrators voice not soothing to me.

Sorry but the Narraters voice if just NOT relaxing. The mispronunciations of words kinda made me giggle.

Harsh voice

Not helpful. Demanding and pushy messaging. Much prefer BellaRuth Naparsek.
No bargain even though free.

Talks too fast.

I found that the narrator was talking way too fast..This made me feel like I had to rush..Not helpful with trying to slow down and rest..Felt like I was at work ..Sleep should be a time to slow down ..

Pace is just wrong.

I want to like it.... especially because it’s free, but the pace of her speaking is to fast. I get keeping it short, but it feels rushed and that makes me not sleepy.

With some tricks it works

It is sort of helpful, if you adjust the speed (it's too fast to be calming) and use the sleep timer (end of chapter) so you don't get the loud automated outro many complain about. As someone not familiar with meditation, some vocabulary used (like the third eye) seems quite off-putting, especially because it's not really explained. Other than that I'd say it's worth a try.

Speed narrator

I found the narrator's voice WAY TO FAST, slowing it down to 75% was an improvement

Dreadful narration

Having chronic sleep issues, I was hopeful this program would do the trick, but I am really disappointed. Her voice is so monotonous and I tried a few times to listen and follow along with the exercises, but just could not get past the bad narration. Listen to the sample before you commit to.a purchase!
