AUDIO ESCAPES

Clara's Your Sleep Guru Podcast incorporates guided visualization, a proven mind-body technique that uses vivid sensory details to engage the subconscious mind and promote relaxation. Guided visualization, also known as guided imagery, has been scientifically shown to help individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by reducing symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety while also improving sleep and alleviating stress.


Studies also reveal that connecting with nature—whether physically or through visualization—can amplify these benefits by lowering stress, boosting mood, and supporting emotional healing. Clara’s meditations combine serene soundscapes with vivid storytelling to create immersive experiences that help listeners relax, feel grounded, and connect with the restorative energy of the natural world.

REVIEWS

This has helped me so much. I almost hate falling asleep so fast, even though I need to, I just want to keep listening. It used to take me at least an hour to fall asleep, and now it’s like 20 mins most of the time. I truly appreciate you doing this for me and the collective! Thank you, thank you, thank you

Your voice is perfectly paced and soothing allowing one to drift off during the delightful imagery and your writing is simply delicious!

With gratitude and tears, I thank you for taking me to this place
Barbara R.Insight Timer
Very soothing. Little pauses made it easy for my mind to relax, perfect cadence
Linda, Forney, TxInsight Timer
This put me to sleep within the first few minutes, it felt dreamlike and tranquil. There are lengthy, silent moments that lull your brain to sleep, but it is not boring, the mind stays engaged in a relaxing, drifting sort of way. I will be trying out more of these because it worked so well and is a nice change from the sleep meditations and music I usually use.
Michael B.Audible
You are amazing!! Thank you!! No more sleeping pills!!!
B. BuffinPodbean
Such a lovely guide—I usually use longer nighttime meditations, but I was out halfway through with this one. I look forward to listening to more of her meditations!
JamieInsight Timer
I have never got past being on the boat listening to the waves…then it is suddenly morning and I have the best sleep ever.a great way to fall asleep!I must listen during the day to hear the whole visualisation😀
AnitaInsight Timer
So soothing and sleep-inducing. I have no idea how this ends, so I’ll be listening again tonight and every night until I hear the end—- that’s when I guess I find a new meditation. Thank you for a great night’s sleep.
DebbieInsight Timer
Helps my kiddos fall asleep! My kids love the visualizations, and it always puts them to sleep. My son's only complaint is that he never remembers the end of the story... because he's asleep....

What Your Sleep Guru Podcast listeners are saying:

Perfection! Love traveling around the world to fall asleep each night. Calming, relaxing and perfectly timed for a wonderfully deep nights sleep.

Why doesn't this delightful podcast get many more reviews? I would make a lot of it. A pleasant young female voice, not shrill mean tone, and at an appropriate rhythm, not too lively, not too slow either. One is transported to beautiful, peaceful environments that are described very visually. Pleasure for the ear and imagination.
