Energy Clearing For Deep Sleep

At the end of the day, we often carry more than we realise into bed with us: the conversations we had, the tasks left undone, the moods and energy of the people and places we’ve moved through. Even when the body is tired, the mind and nervous system can stay switched on, making it hard to truly rest.
This sleep meditation invites you to gently clear what you’ve been holding so you can settle into deep, nourishing sleep. The practice ends without a wake-up, so you can drift naturally into sleep.
Best listened to lying down in bed, with the lights low and your phone set to do not disturb. You may fall asleep before the end, and that’s perfectly okay.
Guided by Zinzi, an integrative therapist with specialist training in somatic trauma therapy, and a yoga teacher of over 10 years.

Welcome to the sleep meditation. This is to support energy clearing as we drift into a good night's sleep. And so let this be the last thing that you do today. Let your body settle into whatever is beneath you. Let go of any need to arrange yourself just right. Wherever you already are is enough. And today is finished now. Whatever it asked of you. Whatever it gave you. Whatever it touches. It's complete. There's nothing left to do with it tonight except let it go. If you drift off before this finishes, That's not a failure of the practice. That's simply the practice doing exactly what it's here to do. So just beginning to notice your breath. Just notice your body breathing in. And breathing out. With each breath out imagine that you're letting a little more of today fall away from you. Nothing dramatic, Just a small steady release. The way leaves let go of a tree without any effort at all. In and out. A little looser each time. Just imagining now a soft light. Somewhere just above you. It doesn't need to look like anything in particular. Maybe it's warm and golden. Maybe it's pale and silver. Maybe it's bright and white. Maybe it's a dark soothing color. Or simply a felt sense of brightness with no real color at all. And let it be whatever feels true for you. And this light is gentle. It isn't here to fix or to change you. It's simply here to help carry away whatever you no longer need to hold on to tonight. Let this light begin to lower now. Slowly settling just above the crown of your head. Like the first light of evening settling over a quiet room. Letting the light rest now at the top of your head. And as it touches you there, Imagine any tightness in your scalp, Your forehead. Simply dissolving into it. Like mist meeting morning sun. Let the light move down now into your eyes. Your jaw. Any tension from words unsaid today, Or things you didn't quite get to say. Just dissolving gently into the light. And now down into your throat. You on that anything you swallow today. Any feelings that you held back. And allow them to be released now. Without needing to be spoken at all. And then down into your shoulders. Heavy with everything they carried today. Let the light loosen. What they were holding gently without any force. And then now down through your arms and your hands. Any doing. Any reaching, Any holding on. Letting it soften. Just dissolving into the light. All the way to your fingertips. Down into your chest. Your heart. Anything you felt too much of today or not enough of. And let the light hold it gently. Without judgement. Dissolving what's ready to be released. Down into your stomach. Any worry, Any bracing, Any holding. Softening down. Dissolving. Like sediment settling slowly in still water. Down through your hips and your legs. Any tension from carrying yourself through the day. Any standing, Any rushing. Letting it go now. Dissolving into the light. And down finally into your feet. And the last of today's effort released now. Completely into the light beneath you. Your whole body. Clear light unburdened. The light just continues to rest gently around you now. Asking nothing more of you, Nothing else to do. And whatever needed to be released has been released. Ready for sleep. Whenever it's ready to find you. Just letting the light hold you. Letting the light hold you
