Effort Trap
Sleep often slips further away when it becomes something to achieve. Effort Trap explores paradoxical effort: the way trying hard to sleep can switch on the very alertness that keeps you awake. A calm practice in allowing breath, thoughts, body and wakefulness to be as they are, so the fight around sleep can loosen.
Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness, a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
