Join Chana Mason for a guided Jewish sleep meditation inspired by Yaakov’s Ladder and the teaching that every blade of grass has a malach—a messenger—calling it to grow. In this deeply relaxing nighttime practice, you’ll soften the body, open the heart, and enter a receptive state where the soul can rise beyond the limits of the day and return with gentle truths you already know, but may struggle to feel.

As you drift toward sleep, Chana guides you to visualize the ladder reaching into the heavens, climbing rung by rung into a realm of divine love, compassion, and belonging. From that higher place, you’ll gather messages of acceptance—“you are loved,” “you are enough,” “you are made of light”—and bring them back down into the mind, heart, and body, imprinting them like a blessing into the subconscious. This meditation is designed to keep working as you fall asleep, helping you wake with more safety, joy, and inner steadiness.

What you’ll experience

• A calming body scan to release tension and settle the nervous system

• A warm visualization of divine light, presence, and unconditional acceptance

• Yaakov’s Ladder imagery to receive higher wisdom and bring it into the heart

• Nighttime affirmations to support self-worth, trust, and emotional healing

• A gentle structure that can continue as you sleep

Sending you blessings from Jerusalem.

Join Chana Mason for an extended 8-hour Jewish sleep meditation designed to carry you gently through the night. This special long-form edition features the full relaxation and divine light grounding, then loops the closing ladder practice—returning again and again to Yaakov’s Ladder as you drift in and out of sleep. With each repetition, you’re invited to “climb” rung by rung into higher wisdom, receive simple truths of the soul, and bring them back down into the heart and body.

Created to support deep rest, nervous system calm, and subconscious integration, this overnight meditation helps imprint messages of love, safety, and belonging while you sleep. Let the repeated rhythm of ascent and return become a steady inner refuge—softening the mind, opening the heart, and helping you wake with more light, more joy, and a stronger remembrance of who you are.

Sending you blessings from Jerusalem.

This gentle guided meditation combines the wisdom of Kabbalah, the flow of divine light through the Sefirot, and the calming rhythm of breath awareness to help you transition peacefully from wakefulness into sleep.

Inspired by the sacred process of light flowing from Keter down through each sphere of the Tree of Life, this practice lovingly “says goodnight” to every energy center within you. By expressing gratitude, inviting stillness, and allowing each part of your being to rest, you will enter a state of relaxation, healing, and deep rejuvenation.

This is an 8-hour sleep meditation: after the guided portion ends, it flows into over 7 hours of gentle, calming music so you can stay relaxed and supported throughout the night.

Perfect for your night routine, sleep meditation, or relaxation practice, this session brings together Kabbalistic wisdom, mindfulness, breathwork, and guided visualization to support your peaceful rest, spiritual grounding, and nourishing dreams.

Discover how ancient traditions can calm modern minds, and let this meditation guide you into a restful night’s sleep filled with renewal, balance, and divine light.

This guided meditation for self-compassion and emotional healing is designed to help you soften inner criticism, release shame, and create a calmer relationship with the parts of you that feel stuck in addictive patterns, self-sabotage, anxiety, or harsh self-judgment. Using gentle breath awareness and embodied grounding, you’ll practice holding space with warmth and kindness so you can feel more peace, acceptance, regulation, and inner safety.

Before the meditation begins, there’s a short reflection on why judgment and inner criticism often lead to shutdown or defensiveness — and how an alternative approach rooted in compassion, witnessing, and trust can support real change. Then we move into a calming practice that invites you to place a hand on the heart and belly, connect to the breath, and meet one inner “part” with steady presence until it feels fully seen, heard, and understood.
