Thank you for choosing to travel mindfully with us today.

We know that sleeping can be more challenging when you're traveling away from home,

Not in your own bed.

We hope this meditation helps you drift off to sleep peacefully.

With that,

I invite you to bring all your awareness into your body,

Letting go of all your thoughts and worries,

Bringing your awareness to your feet,

Noticing any sensations,

Allowing each exhale to relax you deeper,

Moving up to your shins and calves,

Relaxing deeper as you move your awareness to your thighs,

Bringing your awareness to your hips and pelvis,

Allowing yourself to sink deeper into the bed,

Sensing your abdomen and lower back,

Letting go of any tension from today,

Moving your awareness up to your chest and upper back,

Continuing to relax deeper into the bed,

Letting go a little bit more,

Noticing your hands and arms as your body begins to feel heavier,

Noticing your neck and head,

Letting go of all the thoughts that may rise,

Noticing your entire body as it continues to grow heavier and more relaxed with each breath,

Allowing yourself to drift off to sleep peacefully,

Allowing yourself to surrender to sleep,

Allowing yourself to continue to let go and sink deeper into relaxation,

And may you sleep peacefully tonight.
