Oceans Within

By: The Big Quiet

Narrated by: Jackie Cantwell

Relax before bed with sound meditation practitioner Jackie Cantwell, as she guides you in a deep-breathing meditation over the soothing sounds of an ocean drum and vibrating crystal bowls.

Jackie Cantwell is the director of Medi Club and musician for The Big Quiet, a mass meditation movement that gathers thousands of people for large-scale moments of quiet around the world (including for Oprah’s 2020 Vision Tour with WW). It was founded by Jesse Israel, whose own experience with debilitating panic attacks forced him to step back from a successful career as a music executive to seek help. When he came upon meditation, it inspired him to switch gears in a big way.

Guided by leading experts and personalities in wellness, sleep meditations are brief listens focused specifically on helping you decompress before bed. They don’t require any previous experience - they're easy to get into and designed to help you take a moment at day’s end to just relax.

This title is part of The Audible Sleep Collection, exclusive audio experiences created to invite relaxation and sleep. New and free for members.

Wish it had been expanded...

While I have found great benefits to progressive muscle relaxation in the past, I found this particular offering a bit lacking.

It begins with a few guided muscle group suggestions for the listener to complete, leaving the rest of the body to finish themselves. However, if you are in any way like me, you will find your mind wandering and never finishing.

The directions are paired with the "calming" sounds, that in my opinion, were anything but calming -- it was in a note a bit high for my personal relaxation.

I wish you calm serenity as you explore relaxation!

Fell Asleep

I did fall asleep listening to this, but it wasn't a favorite of mine to listen to.

Not Real Ocean

I have listened to better meditation audios than Oceans Within. There was about three minutes of ocean sounds at the end; but sounded like small marbles rolling around in a bucket. Not real sounding. Narrator was loud and not soft and soothing. I’m happy I didn’t pay for this one.

bliss

loved it. it was not a struggle. it was well paced. time was well spent.

Especially calming

I really enjoyed this meditation, especially the waves at the end. It gave me the feeling of washing away all negative feelings I had been breathing out during the meditation process.
