This was such a fun reader copy to recieve from NetGalley.

"Night Meditations" is a nighttime guided journal that provides insightful prompts that change from season to season.

There around 20 prompts for every season, each with an included thought or quote to meditate on.

I look forward to filling out this guide meditation journal and wish I had a physical copy! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get into journaling and dig a little deeper into themselves!

Part meditation. Part journal. All amazing. I struggle with shutting my mind off at night to sleep (as evidence I’m writing this review at 1am) and I think this book is really going to help. The whole book just feels peaceful.

I did not appreciate this book, which was not actually comprised of meditations. What are called meditations are more like writing prompts. The thematic organization by seasons might have provided just enough structure, but I often could not make the connection from prompt to prompt, page to page, and could not connect the prompts to the season in which they were organized. I'm sure the book will serve some readers well just as it is. Thanks to the authors, publisher, and NetGalley for access to the ARC.

Loved the layout of this book but i think i made a mistake in sitting and reading it in one go! I think its more of a book you dip in and out of, but i enjoyed it anyway :)

Night meditations is good for people who are struggling to sleep. It has meditations you can do before bed to help you.
Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book

If you’re looking for mindful guided journaling with a soothing layout, this is much more that than it is meditative. If you’re looking for meditation, I would personally look elsewhere.

Some of the journaling prompts in the book -

* “What negative thoughts do you repeat to yourself? How can you reframe those thoughts to make them positive?”

* “How do you currently cope with uncertainty? What are some new, healthy ways you can hope?”

* “Think of a problem that has been causing you anxiety. Describe it as you would to a confidant, then give yourself honest advice.”

* “Think of a recent argument you had with a close friend or family member. Describe the situation from the other person’s perspective.”

* “Describe a time when you cleaned out a closet space, the garage, your car, or your home. Think of things that were difficult to throw away. How did you feel once the job was done and the space clean?”


As a general rule, I don’t want to think about worrisome things right before I go to bed since I like to sleep and not stay awake for hours suffering the three T’s - tossing, turning, and thinking. While many of the entries are more positive based, the quotes I’ve shared above are some (not all) of the more negative prompts within this title. Also known as things I don’t want to address right before trying to sleep.

While I’m sure this will be perfectly helpful for others, it unfortunately wasn’t for me.
