Deep Sleep - Release The Day And Drift Into Rest

This gentle guided sleep meditation helps you prepare for deep, restful sleep by slowing the breath, softening the body and releasing the energy of the day. Through mindful breathing, gentle body relaxation and a calming body scan, you are invited to feel safe, loved and held as you let go of tension and busy thoughts. Allow your breath to guide you deeper into relaxation as the energy of the day flows through and out of the body, creating space for rest and release. With quiet pauses throughout the practice, you are given time to move through the process at your own pace before gently settling into a peaceful state of sleep.
