Only listen when you're already in bed and ready to rest.

It isn't a session. Nothing here will put you into trance or ask you to close your eyes. It's a conversation about what self-hypnosis actually is, what it isn't, and what to expect from the episodes that follow.

If you've ever been curious about hypnosis but weren't sure what you were getting into, start here. By the end you'll know exactly how these sessions work, who they're suitable for, and why the voice you're about to spend a lot of time with sounds the way it does.

The following four full episodes of The Weave are sleep sessions. Each one guides you through a complete self-hypnosis experience designed to help you fall asleep naturally. Future episodes cover confidence, focus, anxiety, and habit change.

No prior experience with hypnosis or meditation is needed. If you can lie still and listen, you can do this.
