A soft female voice guides you for the first 19 minutes, then almost 3 hours of calm ambient music carries you through the night.\n\nThe Greeks did not think the night was the frightening part. Nyx is older than the gods and older than the sky. Sleep is her son. So are dreams. In the Iliad, Zeus came to the edge of the dark looking for someone who had run to her, and he turned around and went home, because he would not do anything to displease swift Night. The Orphics went further and said he came to her with a question and asked the dark how to build the world.\n\nSo the dark is not the danger. The dark is the house that even Zeus would not enter, and tonight you are inside it. Nothing needs you now. Not until morning, and morning belongs to her sister.\n\nThis is part of The Goddess Meditations, a series of female voiced sleep meditations from The Tender Hour, each one guided by a goddess of old myth.\n\nCHAPTERS\n0:00 Settle in and put the day down\n1:41 The oldest woman in the world\n2:16 Hesiod, and the night that mothered everything\n5:15 Homer, and the night even Zeus would not cross\n6:40 The Orphics, and the god who asked the dark for instructions\n8:27 The dark is not the danger\n9:15 The day cannot follow you in here\n10:47 Letting the body go\n14:01 Hypnos, who was already in the house\n15:10 Going under\n18:18 Rest is a practice\n19:00 Almost three hours of sleep sound\n\nHOW TO USE\nLie down, dim your screen, and let it play.
