Meditation to Release Anxiety + Sleep Better

"I found that when I start to go to sleep my mind starts thinking a lot more and that opens up to more anxious thoughts causing restless sleep." ~ Fellow Meditator, 13-year old Mattie from North Carolina   Quiet beauty is within and all around you. Sometimes the loud festivities of the holiday season can seem to drown out the often subtle beauty and peace at this time of the year. This week, you'll explore different meditation techniques to help you cultivate an abundance of beauty within and around you.    This is part 5 of a 7-part Abundance Within meditation series, episodes 2180-2186.   THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Quiet Abundance Quest.
