Welcome to today's guided meditation for deep sleep and relaxation.
Find a comfortable space and lie down.
Allow your body to fully rest and feel the gentle pull of gravity.
Now close your eyes and take a slow deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
Again inhale deeply and exhale letting go of the day.
Feel the weight of your body being supported.
Now bring awareness towards your feet,
Softening and relaxing.
Slowly move your attention up to your legs.
Let them feel heavy.
Relax your hips,
Your lower back.
Let your stomach soften,
No holding.
Relax your chest,
Your shoulders melting down.
Unclench your jaw and soften your face.
Let your whole body sink into stillness.
Now begin to inhale and lengthen your exhale.
Inhale for four counts and exhale for six counts.
Inhale for four counts and exhale for six.
Continue breathing at your own pace.
With every exhale imagine releasing any remaining tension.
If thoughts arise,
Let them drift away like distant sounds.
You have nothing to do and nowhere to go,
Just resting.
You may silently repeat,
I'm safe,
I'm relaxed,
I'm ready to rest.
I'm safe,
I'm relaxed and I'm ready to rest.
Feel your body become heavier and calmer.
Allow yourself to drift deeper.
If sleep comes,
Allow it.
If you're still awake,
That's okay too.
Just find yourself resting in this quiet space.
Allow yourself to just breathe and let go of any thoughts or tiredness from the day.
Rest in this quiet space.
