This is a soft, soothing sleep meditation designed to help you release the weight of the day and gently drift into rest. Through slow breathing, body relaxation, and comforting imagery, this meditation invites you to let go of effort, control, and mental noise. Rather than trying to force sleep, you’re guided into a place of safety and ease where rest can arrive naturally. The first 11 minutes contain a guided relaxation, including 9 hours of continuous music to hold you through the night. May it bring you sweet surrender dear one.

Transcript

Get your eye mask,

Headphones and all the paraphernalia needed to get you as comfortable as possible.

Take your time to settle in.

Make any last adjustments and then as you lie down allow your body to relax.

Let your eyelids touch down softly.

Take a slow breath in and then exhale with a quiet sigh as the day leaves you.

Again inhale gently,

Exhale completely.

Tonight is about sweet surrender.

No pressure or expectation to sleep.

Just a sweet surrender to your bed.

Begin by noticing the weight of your body and how the bed meets you.

How it holds you without effort.

You do not have to support yourself anymore.

Smooth out your forehead.

Rest your eyeballs.

Relax your jaw.

Rest your tongue.

With each breath out imagine yourself releasing something small.

A thought,

A worry,

A piece of the day you no longer need.

Soften your shoulders.

Let them slide away from your ears.

Your arms are warm and relaxed.

Resting peacefully by your side.

Your breath slows down.

Just easy natural breathing.

Feel the gentle rise and fall of your chest.

The quiet rhythm of your heart.

Blending in with the rhythm of the night.

Soften your belly.

And let go of the need to stay alert.

Relax your hips.

Legs.

And sink deeper into the mattress.

Surrender your thighs.

Calves.

Feet completely.

Now imagine a soft wave of calm and surrender moving through you from head to toe.

Leaving relaxation behind.

If thoughts appear let them dissolve like sugar in warm water.

There is nothing left to manage now.

You are held,

Safe and allowed to rest.

So surrender to it now.

Let yourself sink deeper into this comfort.

With each breath,

Surrender a little more into the bed,

Into the night.

And when sleep arrives,

Let it take you gently and carry you away into the peace.

Surrender to it now.

Surrender sweetly.

Sweet dreams.
