Welcome to tonight's guided meditation.
This is a visualization to relax the mind for deep sleep.
Meditation is a wonderful way for us to access a slower brain frequency state that is similar to when we are sleeping.
This allows for the creative brain to activate and begin the process of manifesting your desires.
Are you ready to go into a very relaxing state to allow yourself the deep sleep every night that you deserve?
If so,
Go ahead and find a small spot to gaze at somewhere that's right in front of you and focus on the spot not letting your eyes turn away.
As you look there,
I ask you to blink your eyes with every number I count,
Starting with the number 10.
Blink your eyes.
Blink 8,
7,
6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1,
And 0.
Your eyes are ready to gently close.
So just allow them to,
And you will notice when you do so,
A gentle wave of relaxation sweeps over you completely.
Is getting a well-rested night's sleep important for you?
Extremely.
Sleep is our rest state,
Is the active state.
We must have a good flow going between resting and activating.
Rest and activate.
Rest and activate.
We can achieve any goal we set forth.
So just imagine now that in front of you there is a set of stairs going down.
These stairs lead you to the knowledge,
Restful,
Rejuvenating sleep.
When I begin the countdown from 10,
You will start to walk down these stairs feeling more and more relaxed with each step you take.
10.
Begin your journey of insight into sleep.
9,
8,
Feeling so relaxed with each step.
7,
6,
5,
You're calm.
4,
You're more relaxed in the mind.

As you step off the last step,
You step into white sand.
It is so soft and warm under your feet.
Just feel the sensations you have in your feet on the sand.
Now look up and all you see is more sand in front of you,
But you can hear the ocean.
Go ahead and walk towards the sound of the ocean.
As you're walking,
As you're walking,
You can feel the sun on your skin.
Perhaps you can feel a light breeze as well.
You notice the smell of the salty air and as you're looking around,
You see the ocean peak over the sand dune.
You're walking towards the ocean now and you notice the sand on your feet gets firmer because it's saturated with seawater and you get to the shore where the ocean meets the sand and you see little waves coming up and down and as the waves come and go,
You see some things in the sand like shells,
Pieces of seawater,
Your own footprints,
And you see a little piece of driftwood that's the perfect size for writing in the sand with.
Go ahead and pick up this driftwood now and draw your name in the sand where it's moist.
Write out each letter,
Noticing the sound that it makes as you scratch it through the sand.
Now step back and look at your name.
As you see your beautiful name,
It's carried you through your whole life.
You notice a little wave coming closer.
This wave catches part of your name and washes it away as it goes back into the ocean and then another wave comes and washes your way even more and another comes and washes it away and another until all you can see is ripples in the sand where your name used to be.
That's good.
Continue walking along your beach,
Noticing the surroundings.
What kind of sounds do you hear?
Can you hear seabirds flying over and gently blowing?
Can you feel the warm sun on your skin?
How does the sand feel under your feet again?
It's nice,
Right?
Maybe you can even smell the smells of the ocean.
You find a fresh date that's ready to eat.
Go ahead and bite into it and notice how delicious it is.
Just be at your beach today eating your fruit.
Now as you've walked,
You've learned a lot about how beautiful this beach is and you're ready for a little rest.
You look around and notice there's the perfect spot for you to lay down and take a gentle nap in the life-giving sun rays.
So go ahead and lie down and before you close your eyes to rest,
Watch the horizon and how the ocean meets the sky.
This is the most beautiful scene you've ever witnessed.
As you gaze along the big blue,
Allowing yourself to fall asleep naturally,
You listen very closely because it is very important to your overall well-being.
Sleeping is natural for everyone.
The only thing keeping you from getting the sleep that you deserve is your racing thoughts.
You've allowed your mind to push you around,
Making you restless when you get in the bed.
Our thoughts keep coming louder and louder and repeat themselves over and over so loudly that you cannot possibly relax with that noise happening in your mind.
You've allowed your mind to push you around,
Making you restless when you get in the bed.
Our thoughts keep coming louder and louder and repeat themselves over and over so loudly that you cannot possibly relax with that noise happening in your mind.
It fosters you around and controls you.
From now on,
The unwanted thought arises in your mind.
You say to it,
Enough,
Stop,
And that is final.
If another bothersome thought arises,
You immediately say,
Enough,
Stop.
You will find that training the mind is like training a dog.
They learn from making mistakes and testing boundaries,
Yet they will only listen to you if you train them.
If you do not train your mind,
It will soil your thoughts,
Which can keep you up at night.
So let me say this again so that it's perfectly clear.
It comes into your mind.
No matter how many times it may repeat itself,
You say,
Enough,
Stop.
Relaxing thought comes.
Go into this visual as if it's a dream,
Just like your nap on your beautiful beach.
Very good.
Now float.
Float freely and drift into a restful and restorative night's sleep.
When you rise,
You feel anew.
Just let go.
Just let go and float,
Drifting deeper and deeper,
Deeper into sleep.
