Chibs Okereke Meditations

I re-recorded the meditation that started everything for me.

https://youtu.be/blHsHE5lc20

It was my first ever viral meditation on YouTube.

The perfectionist in me tenses up when I listen to the original. I can hear every pop, click, and mouth noise. I'm still keeping it on YouTube though... it’s where I started… and it’s honestly nice to see how far I’ve come.

So I’ve redone it… with slightly updated language… a little more space and pacing… and a whole lot more care in the audio.

And it was so enjoyable to edit. I completely forgot how much I love piano in a meditation. Piano doesn’t really suit my sleep meditations, so it was a real pleasure bringing it back… and editing it properly… letting the music breathe… and giving you more space to breathe too.

This one was satisfying to edit because it’s the kind of meditation people tend to listen to from start to finish. With sleep meditations, most of you are asleep in the first 20 minutes (as you should be 😂)… but I’m still meticulous all the way through anyway.

We’ll use extended exhale breathing, progressive relaxation along the vagus nerve pathway, and a simple “I am safe” anchor… to help the body shift toward rest and digest.

And at the end… I share the same poem from the original… my absolute favourite, “The Mountain”… a reminder that rest is not defeat.

It feels good to come back to where this all started… and to share it with you in a way that matches where I’m at now.

Much love,
Chibs 💙

If you’re tired… eyes heavy but the mind is still alert… this stronger-than-usual deep sleep hypnosis is for you.

https://youtu.be/OTWq8dZh7NU

It’s designed for nights when your body is ready for sleep, but something in your system is still switched on.

We’ll slow the breath, lengthen the exhale, and give your nervous system a clear signal that it’s safe to let go… then use simple, direct hypnotic language to guide you deeper and deeper into rest.

This one is very strong… and you might not hear the ending at all.

If anything feels like a lot tonight, please take it at your own pace.

If you try it, tell me how it landed for you…

Much love,
Chibs 💙

Is AI slop ruining YouTube?

I’m not anti-AI in principle.

AI could improve healthcare, education, accessibility (captions, translation), and speed up research in ways that genuinely help people.

But on YouTube, it feels like it’s being used mainly to mass-produce low-effort content. And it’s spilling into the one area where “low-effort” matters most: anything that’s meant to land in someone’s heart.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to something that sounded deep, soothing, even “wise”… then realised halfway through it was an AI script with an AI voice. And it honestly feels like being tricked.

If it’s AI-generated, just say so up front. I want to choose what I’m listening to.
I listen to a lot of Alan Watts, and now I only trust videos that are over 2 years old, or I go straight to Audible, because I can’t trust YouTube recommendations anymore.

When I record my meditations, I’m not just reading words. I’m FEELING something while I record. I’m imagining a real person on the other side, and trying to help them feel safe and cared for. And I like to believe that comes through in a way AI simply can’t.

Is that woo woo? Or is that science? I don’t know. But I know what it feels like in my body when it’s real… and I know what it feels like when it’s fake.

Are you noticing this too? What’s the worst example you’ve come across?

Someone is impersonating me on YouTube under the name Thalos Dawn 😢

youtube.com/@ThalosDawn-m8u

They’re re-uploading my meditations exactly as they are, and they’re even using photos of me on the thumbnails.

One of the pictures is me sitting cross-legged too… so that's how we know they are AI-generated... it’s been a very long time since these 50-year-old hips could pull that off 🤣🧘🏾

On one level, it’s a weird compliment. But I don’t want anyone thinking it’s me and then getting interrupted by adverts during a meditation.

For clarity: I’ve requested YouTube not to place adverts during any of my meditations. So if you ever hear adverts interrupting a “Chibs” meditation, that upload isn’t from me.

If your body is exhausted but your mind is still busy, this is for you.

https://youtu.be/Pl4gQfWppMo

Brand new… Sleep meditation for exhaustion, fatigue and burnout

This is for the nights when you are running on empty, but sleep is not coming easily.

Use it tonight if you feel wired-tired, braced, or you keep waking and cannot fully settle.

It helps by slowing the body, lengthening the exhale, and giving your nervous system permission to stop holding everything up.

There is a calming vagus nerve moment through the spine, and then I thin out the words so the background sounds can carry you.

If anything feels like a lot tonight, please take it at your own pace.

And please let me know, how are you arriving tonight?

A) exhausted
B) wired
C) heavy
D) numb

Comment A, B, C or D so I know what tonight looks like for you.

I hope you have a wonderful sleep 😴☺️

Much love,
Chibs 💙

If your mind’s been replaying old moments… the “I should’ve…” or “why did I…” stuff… tonight's brand new sleep hypnosis is for you - https://youtu.be/HygaDybgmI0

It’s designed to help the past stop gripping you… so you can release the past and trust yourself again... and so you can remember… without reliving.

We'll do a gentle, settling body scan, a slow countdown, and a simple “set it down” visual that helps your system feel safe enough to soften… then a calm stream of affirmations that use gentle hypnotic suggestion to help reprogramme your mind as you sleep.

This hypnosis isn't only helping you fall asleep, it’s also helping you release what you don’t need to carry any more… and wake up feeling steadier.

If you try it, tell me how it landed for you… did anything in it help you feel a little lighter?

Much love,

Chibs 💙

Finally here! Brand new meditation… time to take a quick breather with your furry friend 🐶😻

This is something so many of you said you’d be excited about… and I’ve finally recorded it - https://youtu.be/BuPq9tXzZVo

It’s a simple practice to slow the breath, soften the body, and use your pet as a calming anchor… so we can ease out of overthinking and back into here and now.

If your pet is with you right now, amazing. And if your pet isn’t with you any more, you’re very welcome to bring them to mind too… this one’s for pets past and present.

And I also added some cute pets for you to look at if you want to keep your eyes open during the meditation 🙂

If this brings up emotion, especially if you’re missing a pet who’s passed away, please take it at your own pace… and only go as far as feels kind.

I'd love to know how this goes for you, please let me know in the comments of the video.

Much love,
Chibs 💙

PS. Much love from Olive and Zee too 💙🐾

Brand new sleep hypnosis is up… and yes, you can float some more ☁️ - https://youtu.be/tyO-3G5RPHU

Last week’s hypnosis got such amazing feedback… so many of you said you loved that floating feeling.

So I made a follow up… for anyone who wants to sink even deeper into that light, held, weightless kind of rest.

This one is called 'Feel Like You’re Floating'… a deep sleep hypnosis with 396Hz to help the body soften, the mind quieten, and sleep arrive naturally… with the frequency underneath as a steady sound your nervous system can settle around. 396Hz is part of the Solfeggio frequencies… a set of tones people have used for centuries for relaxation and emotional reset.

So you’ve got my voice guiding you, and the frequency running underneath, working together to help you feel grounded, held, and ready to drift.

If you try it, let me know what you preferred… the Solfeggio frequency or the 432Hz… and which one helped more.

And a little heads up for next week… a brand new sleep hypnosis is coming called 'Release The Past And Trust Yourself Again'.

It’s for those nights when your mind keeps replaying old moments. It will help you loosen the grip of the past so it doesn't pull you back and hijacking your night. Gentle affirmations will keep playing as you sleep… helping soften those old limiting beliefs… and reminding your mind that it’s safe to trust you again.

Much love,
Chibs 💙

Ever wish you could just… switch gravity off for the night?
Brand new deep sleep hypnosis is here… https://youtu.be/p-ypOFPZzew

This one is designed to help your body feel like it’s floating… soft, weightless, and completely supported… so you can drift off without trying.

You don’t need to concentrate with this one.

No analysing.

No “am I doing it right?”

Just let my voice sit in the background… and let your subconscious do the work.

This will be especially great after a long, tiring day, or when your mind feels a bit too “on”.

If you try it, tell me… did you get that floaty feeling… or did you just wake up like “wait… when did I fall asleep?” 😆

Much love,
Chibs 💙

Ps. i had some fun with AI, the second picture is the original, the first picture is me in floating bliss 👼🏾🤣🤣

Brand new gut-focused sleep meditation… and this is what so many of you have been asking for - https://youtu.be/PNv8CoESD8A

I wanted to take real care with this one, because I didn’t realise just how big an issue gut discomfort at night was for so many of you… and I really feel for you.

It’s not something I’ve personally struggled with… but every time I’ve had food poisoning, it’s been one of the worst experiences of my life. So I get it… anything to do with the gut can be intense.

This one is designed for sleep… gentle vagus nerve support, slow settling, and a few soft affirmations that fade out into background sound as you drift off. It’s there to help your system feel safe enough to rest… without you having to “do” anything perfectly.

And just so you know… I’m also releasing a daytime version in a couple of weeks, for those moments when you need support while you’re up and about.

If this brings up strong feelings for you, please take it at your own pace… and feel free to dip in and out.

If you try it tonight, tell me how it landed for you… and whether you’d want more gut-focused meditations like this.
Much love,
Chibs 💙
