Transcript

Hello and welcome to your guided Reiki sleep meditation for an overstimulated mind.

My name is Bridget and tonight I will be guiding you through a Reiki meditation to gently settle your nervous system and quiet your mind.

This practice is for the overstimulated,

For when your thoughts keep looping or your energy just doesn't know how to let it after a long full day.

You don't need to do anything perfectly here,

Just listen,

Breathe,

And let your system recalibrate.

You can now take a moment to get comfortable lying down.

You can loosen any tight clothing,

Adjust your pillows,

And allow your hands to rest wherever they feel supported.

We'll begin by simply noticing your breath.

There's no need to change it,

Just become aware.

Now take one slow breath in through the nose and gently release out through the mouth.

Again,

Breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth.

One more time,

But let the inhale lengthen just slightly.

Exhaling and allowing your body to soften just a little more.

Now I invite you to bring your attention to the top of your head or your crown chakra.

With your next breath,

Begin to visualize a small orb of light forming just above your scalp.

This orb holds reiki energy,

Gentle,

Intelligent,

And attuned to exactly what you need in this moment.

Inhaling in,

The orb slowly starts to brighten,

And as you exhale out,

It gently expands.

If you feel your mind starting to drift,

I invite you to visualize what color you are seeing as the orb brightens as you inhale and exhale as you expand.

You can let the color or the image arise naturally.

As you continue to breathe,

The orb begins to lower down into your third eye as the space right in between your eyebrows.

Let it pause there.

Breathe in through your nose and let it glow.

Breathe out through your mouth and allow it to grow,

Letting the light move through the front and the back of your forehead,

Through the temples,

Softening any lingering mental noise or thoughts,

Letting go of any planning or reviewing,

You don't need to carry any of that into your sleep,

Letting those thoughts float by like the weather,

Nothing to hold on to just washing over you and drifting away.

Now guiding the orb of light down through the rest of your energy centers,

Slowly and steadily,

As it moves down to your throat,

What color is the orb now?

Let the light expand through your neck and your shoulders as you breathe,

Starting to feel,

Softening anything that may feel tight or stuck in your throat,

Letting go of anything that may feel tight,

Filling it with light and love,

And the highest of intentions for your peace and your healing.

It is safe for me to speak my truth,

It is safe for me to rest now.

Next,

Bringing the orb slowly down into your heart space,

Feeling it rest at the center of your chest,

Breathing in the beautiful light,

White light of the glowing orb of Reiki energy,

And observing how you feel in your heart,

As you exhale,

Feeling your chest soften and expand,

And expand.

What colors or images are you seeing?

Gently observing and sending love,

Light,

And peace,

So that you may rest in a peaceful sleep tonight.

Breathing in one more time to your heart,

And exhaling out a gentle release.

Now moving the orb of Reiki energy down into your solar plexus,

The space just above your navel.

Let the orb meet this part of you with steadiness,

And what feelings are you beginning to notice?

Feeling Reiki healing light into this area above your navel,

Feeling the energy grow,

And as you exhale,

A warm,

Soothing energy of release.

Noticing any thoughts,

Feelings,

Or tensions within your belly area,

And meeting them with love,

Self-compassion,

And empathy.

Allowing yourself to breathe in support and nurturing to your belly,

And as you exhale out,

Releasing anything that no longer serves your healing journey.

Any limiting self-beliefs,

Any tensions,

Any old memories,

With your kindest,

Truest self.

Taking one final inhale into your belly of Reiki energy,

Feeling like a lovely hug from the person that you love most in this world,

And as you exhale out,

Moving our orb of Reiki light down to your sacral chakra,

And just underneath your belly button,

Feeling the energy of this orb of supportive light and nurturing love gently arriving here.

Noticing if maybe the color of the orb,

Or the color that you're sensing,

Has shifted,

Or maybe it has not,

Just noticing,

And observing,

And gently returning to your breath.

As you breathe in,

Imagining that orb glowing brighter and brighter,

So that every nook and every cranny is being filled with a brilliant,

Hopeful,

Inspirational light,

And as you exhale out,

Releasing any tensions,

Stagnations,

Feelings,

Thought,

Or mind of the truth of who you are.

Giving one more breath in through your nose,

Drinking in that creative Reiki energy into the area just underneath your belly button,

And feeling filled with hope,

Possibility,

And alignment with your most creative self,

And exhaling out any final wavering bits of tension,

Or anything else ready to move through and out the sacral chakra.

Remembering that everything in this meditation is simply an invitation.

Always listen to your own intuition,

And what you feel called for from your body,

Knowing that you always maintain and retain your sovereignty and your consent at any and all times.

If at any point within this session,

You feel the need to move your body,

Or like you just really need to cough at any time,

Know that these are your body's natural waves that are telling you that there is some stagnation that is ready to be released,

Or just the sensation of the Reiki energy moving through your chakras.

Listen to the rhythm of your body,

And do as you need.

For our final chakra,

We will be sending our oar of light down to your root chakra.

Your root chakra is just at the base of your spine.

It is directly underneath your sacral chakra.

Allowing the oar to rest here,

And as you breathe into the oar and into your root chakra,

Feeling the steadiness of the earth beneath you,

Supporting you,

Grounding you.

That you are safe to rest.

That you are supported by the earth,

By your root,

And by yourself.

That it is now safe for you to relax.

It is safe for you to heal and ease into peace.

Allowing the oar of light to expand out gently,

Not as a wall,

But as a soft golden bubble around your entire body.

Supporting you,

Loving you,

Comforting you,

Protecting you,

And holding you within this golden healing light of your own divinity.

You are safe to be calm.

You are safe and you are so supported and so loved.

You are never alone,

Even when you feel lonely.

Only you and your own energy are present in this space.

Anything that you may have picked up throughout the day that isn't yours or does not belong to you,

Allowing it to gently dissolve and return back to wherever or whoever it came from.

With love and light inviting you to call all of your power and attention back to yourself.

Fully returned,

Fully grounded,

Fully yours.

It is safe for you to feel powerful and supported and grounded by the brilliance of your own energy.

Grounded by the brilliance and connection that you have to your own divinity.

Let your body remember how it feels to be fully and only in your own energy.

Your field fully protected.

Nothing else is needed here.

Taking in one final deep inhale into your root chakra.

Drinking in that supportive reiki energy to ground and root your system.

Exhaling out any energies,

Ideas,

Thoughts or feelings that are no longer serving your highest good.

At this time,

I invite you to set the quiet intention for your sleep.

If you feel called,

You're welcome to follow along this intention.

My field is sealed in light and love.

My aura is closed to only my divine self for rest.

I am supported in peaceful dreams and gentle thoughts.

Only my energy remains.

I am sealed in my own energy.

Anything that is not mine has been released,

Cleared and removed.

I am safe.

I am clear.

Taking a deep breath in and a gentle exhale out.

There is nothing left for you to do.

Your energy is clear.

Your mind is quieting.

Your body is aligned with rest.

I am now closing this session so that you may gently enter into your realm of sleep with love and care,

Sweet dreams.
