Meditation for Insomnia
Meditation for insomnia is one of the most accessible, powerful tools to calm the mind and prepare the body for restful sleep. Scientific studies show that regular meditation reduces cortisol levels and improves melatonin production.
Mindfulness meditation, body scans, and loving-kindness practices all cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce mental chatter. Even 10 minutes before bed can reduce sleep latency and nighttime waking.
At Phases Wellness, meditation is often combined with acupuncture and herbal support. This integrative approach works especially well for chronic insomnia, anxiety-related sleep loss, and post-menopausal sleep issues.
Guided meditations, breathing techniques, and aromatherapy with calming scents like sandalwood or frankincense can further support your meditation for insomnia routine.
Consistency is key—build your nightly meditation practice gradually and notice how your sleep improves over time.
