Soft Sleep Meditation: The Gentle River Home

Welcome to The Gentle River Home — a soft sleep meditation written and spoken with love to guide you into deep, nourishing rest.

This journey invites you to surrender the day, quiet the mind, and melt into a warm river of golden stillness.

There’s nothing to do.

Nowhere to be.

Only the gentle current of sleep…. carrying you home.

This meditation is perfect for:

• Deep sleep support
• Anxiety and overthinking
• Emotional regulation at night
• Reconnecting to the body before bed

As you listen to this meditation, may you feel held, softened, and seen. May your thoughts float away like leaves on the water.

May the river carry you into the sleep you deserve. May you rest beautifully. May you return gently. May you awaken lighter.

To rest Your palms release.

Let it rise up your arms.

Into your shoulders.

Melting every burden you have carried today.

Your throat,

Softened.

Your jaw.

Your cheeks,

Smoothed.

Your brow,

Wide open like a twilight sky.

You are a river of light now.

Floating softly,

Silently into peace.

Let even your thoughts begin to float away.

Let them drift like small leaves carried gently downstream.

You are not your thoughts.

You are not your worries.

You are not your to-do lists.

Your plans.

Your questions.

You are the river.

You are the soft current beneath the stars.

There is nothing you need to fix.

Nothing you need to create.

Nothing you need to hold.

You are carried.

You are carried.

You are held.

You are safe.

Breathe.

Drift.

Let go.

There is no ending here.

No call to wake up.

Only the slow,

Soft,

Dissolving into the deeper waters of sleep.

The river will carry you the rest of the way.

You are floating now.

Deeper.

Softer.

Further into the warm endless dark.

You are safe.

You are loved.

You are home.

No need to return.

Only to drift.

Only to rest.

Let sleep find you now,

Dear one.

Let the river carry you home.
