About this session
- Eases you back to sleep
- Relaxes the body
- Quiets busy thoughts
The Journey Within is a nine-minute soundscape with no voice and no instructions. Created by Gabriel Loynaz, it gives you a steady bed of sound to rest inside, so your attention has somewhere gentle to settle instead of circling back through your thoughts.
It's made for the small hours, when you wake and can't drift off again. It also works at the end of a stressful day, or any time you want to unwind. Press play, close your eyes, and let the sound do the work.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Is there anything to do while it plays?
No. There's no voice, no breathing count and nothing to follow. You just listen, and let your attention rest on the sound rather than on your thoughts.
Why is it suited to the middle of the night?
It's made for the moment you wake in the small hours and want to return to sleep. With no words to engage your mind, it's gentle enough not to pull you fully awake.
Can I use it for relaxing during the day?
Yes. Although it's best for night waking, it also suits the end of a stressful day or any time you want to unwind. Nine minutes is a short, easy pause.
How is a soundscape different from a guided sleep meditation?
A guided meditation uses a voice to lead your attention. This track has none, so there is nothing to follow or get right, which some people find easier when they're tired or half awake.
Should I play it once or let it loop?
It runs nine minutes. If you're still awake at the end, you can play it again, and keeping the volume low helps it stay in the background as you drift off.
