Fall Back To Sleep

This is one of the most soothing meditations I have written, and it is designed to help you find rest, and fall asleep, or get yourself back to sleep if you have woken up in the night. Let Sleepy Cat be your guide, and bathe in the beauty of the stars as you drift off into a wonderful slumber, releasing any and all burdens.

A warm welcome to this soothing sleep meditation.

This one is perfect if you have just awoken in the middle of the night and need some help finding your way back to a peaceful slumber.

Perhaps you have been woken up by a lingering dream,

Worries from the day or simply restlessness where your mind feels suddenly awake,

Unable to keep still.

Remind yourself that all of these are completely normal and for whatever reason that you are joining me tonight then you should know that this is your time to be comforted,

To be soothed and to release everything.

Tonight you can allow my words to take care of you and to guide you back into a deep sleep.

Now just take a moment to get yourself comfortable again,

Wiggle about if you need to and just settle in gradually.

The first thing I want you to do is take a nice slow deep breath in and as you release just remind yourself that you are not alone.

There are many people including myself who have experienced this and the good news is that there is always a solution.

Keep breathing now in your own time and at your own pace.

Allow yourself to slow down,

To connect with your breath and to let go of any holding on.

Please do not feel any pressure to fall asleep quickly.

I understand the frustration of waking up in the night and the desperation to fall back to sleep as fast as possible.

However,

By fixating on this we will not help ourselves tonight.

Instead try to shift your focus to simply wanting to relax and to find comfort and even in these deep states of relaxation we can still find rest,

Recovery and healing.

So as you breathe now just let go of any pressure or any idea of what you think is right or correct.

And when you exhale imagine that you are blowing away these deceptive thoughts banishing them from your mind tonight as right now we only have one goal to find peace.

Allow your head to soften into your pillow,

Your body to melt into the mattress as you feel its support underneath you.

Let this be a gentle reminder that you are safe here and you are protected.

If you haven't already you can embrace the new heaviness that is filling your eyelids.

Allow your blinks to become slower and slower.

And with each blink it becomes more and more difficult to keep your eyes open.

And eventually you can simply give in,

Let them close.

There is no need to hold on to anything in this moment.

And now let us lengthen our breathing and go even deeper into relaxation.

Breathe in through your nose to a count of three,

Hold it here for four,

And release for five on a slow sigh,

Good,

Again slowly in for three,

Hold for four,

And breathe out for five,

Blowing away any remaining tension.

Let's continue breathing in for three,

Hold it at the top,

And release,

Allowing yourself to be completely at one with your breath.

We breathe in again,

And let everything go.

Continue to breathe in this way in your own time and just gently count your breathing pattern in your head as you go.

Feel free to reduce or extend the timings if you want to,

The most important thing is that you are comfortable tonight.

And my words are not rules,

But simply a guide.

Allow your breath to fall back into a natural rhythm,

And enjoy this new peace that is flowing through you.

Allow your awareness to scan your entire body very gently and feel every new sensation,

From the top of your head,

Through your neck and shoulders,

Across your chest and your stomach,

Through your thighs,

Down your knees and your calves,

And all the way into the tips of your toes.

Enjoy these beautiful vibrations and allow yourself to embrace the comfort that greets you now.

Take a moment to be proud of showing up tonight.

You are taking care of yourself,

Which is a wonderful thing.

And as you lie here now,

The roof above you gradually begins to open like huge French windows,

Revealing the eternal night sky dotted with the most incredible stardust.

The shimmering moon and the endless stars are watching over you.

They will help you to find peace,

They will help you to heal and they will guide your dreams tonight.

You are safe in this starlight sanctuary,

Fueled by the deep magic of our beautiful Earth.

You will hear a very slow,

Sleepy countdown from ten.

When we reach the end,

You will be floating among the stars and in a state of total tranquility where nothing can find you.

You are becoming light and free and a wonderful liberation fills your body.

Nine,

The stars pulse with a hypnotic glow and call out to you now,

Beckoning for you to come closer.

Those quieter with the gentle hum of the night and your body is weightless.

Seven,

Very slowly you feel yourself lifting ever so slightly away from your bed and you simply allow this to happen,

Letting go of any resistance.

Six,

It's as if you are being held by a giant hammock,

Supported by the magic of the stars and cradled by the moon.

It is the most soothing sensation.

Seven,

You are floating up gradually,

In line with the roofs and the treetops,

Getting ever so nearer to this infinite cosmos above.

Three,

You find yourself in and amongst the stars now,

Inside your own protective bubble,

Drifting in complete peace,

Surrounded by glitter,

Stardust and celestial beauty.

The moon hums a sleepy symphony that is utterly hypnotic and you allow the vibrations of the music to empty your mind.

One,

Shooting stars sweep past you,

A colourful dust lingers above and below you,

And a profound sense of peace washes over you.

Zero,

Right now you have no responsibilities,

There is nothing left to do and nothing left to think.

You are at one with this starlight sanctuary.

Five,

This is a place of tranquility,

Where you can let go of any burdens,

Any remaining thoughts and any tension.

Six,

Your body is as soft as melted butter and every single muscle is slowly unravelling as you drift even deeper into the cosmos and even deeper into relaxation.

Seven,

There is a unique and special energy up here.

You can feel the harmony of the entire galaxy swirling around you and it creates the most enchanting atmosphere.

Eight,

If there are still one or two thoughts flicking through your mind,

Then try to visualize these thoughts as shooting stars gliding across the vast night that surrounds you.

They fade into view and pass all around you,

And as quickly as they arrived,

They disappear again,

Banished from the night and banished from your mind.

While these thoughts are completely valid,

It's important to acknowledge that this is not the time nor the place for them and they are not welcome here tonight.

And remember,

Anything that is worth your time or attention will always find its way back to you,

So try to trust in that fact.

Nine,

Tonight is for you and only you.

Here,

You are in a wonderful world where you can be cradled by the moon,

Surrounded by the most beautiful stardust and totally free from everything.

Ten,

You give yourself permission to surrender to this magic,

To this healing night sky and to the soothing sensations that flow through you.

Eleven,

You allow tiredness to greet you once more like an old friend and you share a warm and cozy embrace as you indulge in this familiar feeling.

Twelve,

You know that in this state of deep relaxation,

You are resting,

You are recovering and you are healing.

It feels as though you are completely cocooned by the night and enveloped by the enchantments of the constellations.

And you know that up here,

Your dreams will be pure and beautiful.

You continue to drift effortlessly among the stardust and it's as if you are being gently rocked by the moon.

They are still humming a sleepy lullaby and cradling you with their magic.

All the thoughts of yesterday,

Today and tomorrow are slowly melting away.

There is no need to force anything.

Rest and relaxation come so easily,

So naturally now.

It is time to trust your body,

It knows what you need.

And as you continue to float,

Allowing yourself to simply be,

You will be greeted by some soothing words of comfort.

You can let them swirl around you,

Acting as a safety blanket tonight and taking you even deeper into total tranquility and into the most peaceful rest,

Where you will be guarded by the eternal moon and the shimmering stars,

Where your dreams will be protected and your body and mind will be restored.

You are releasing everything and embracing pure peace.

Reviews

This is lovely. I had trouble falling asleep and was in and out of sleep for most of the recording. I did eventually get a little bit more rest before my alarm went off. I found the words to be exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.

This really helped me to sleep inspite of my screaming tinnitus. Thank you 🙏🤗

Loved this. I didn’t doze off again til after, but I loved your reminders that we are resting and restoring even when not fully asleep. Thank you!

Just what I needed! Supportive guidance with a great soothing voice. Thank you!
