Tonight we explore how to make peace with fear, slowly and kindly, through the wisdom of the Buddha and the Zen tradition. In this long-form episode of Buddhism for sleep, we look at what these teachings offer anyone living with fear and anxiety, and how to find some calm and inner peace along the way.

Through Zen stories, Buddhist parables and simple guided reflections, we explore how fear grows, how the body can help us feel grounded, how to meet anxious feelings with patience and mindfulness, and how loving-kindness can soften what frightens us. These are calming sleep stories for relaxation and rest, for anyone carrying stress, worry or overthinking into the night.

No prior knowledge of Buddhism or meditation is needed. Best enjoyed lying down, with the lights low.

If this brought you some calm, you are welcome to subscribe for more Buddhist sleep stories, and share it with someone who could use a calmer night.
