Headphones needed. The binaural part works only with headphones: a binaural beat only exists when each ear gets its own tone. On a speaker you will just hear a soft hum. Keep the volume low, and don’t listen while driving.

What it is

Four short “I” affirmations, each followed by a breath of quiet, over a drifting nebula and a soft binaural tone bed. The lines come from the same voice sessions as our I AM sleep affirmations for abundance, health and success.

How to use it

Play it in bed with the lights down and say each line quietly in your head after you hear it. Then picture setting today’s worries down somewhere outside the bed, and leave them there until morning. If a worry keeps coming back, the worry box Short gives it a place to wait.

Best for

Busy minds at the end of a long day and anyone who likes affirmations more than breathing exercises. For a full hour of calm lines, try I AM calm sleep affirmations. Affirmations are for winding down, not therapy or medical care.

Why short affirmations at night

At bedtime the mind often replays the day, and telling it to stop rarely works. A few calm lines give it something gentle to repeat instead. They don’t need to feel true straight away; think of them as a quiet way to end the day, said slowly, with a breath out after each one. Some people like to write one worry on paper first, then use the lines to close the notebook for the night.

Transcript

The narration, as spoken:

I release the worries of today.
I let my thoughts float away.
I am peaceful inside and out.
Stillness feels good to me.
