Half-Guided for Deep Calm | 30 Min Meditation w Nature Sounds

This meditation starts with 15 minutes guided breathing and relaxation, then the rest of the meditation is unguided to help you easily settle into a state of deep calm and uninterrupted, restful stillness. The meditation is simple and doesn't require any ability to visualise or imagine, it just uses your breath and body awareness to help you deeply relax and feel a deep sense of inner quiet, peace and calm.
