Transcript

Welcome to this meditation for sleep.

As we journey around the body with awareness you'll hear me say different phrases.

I invite you to mentally repeat the words after me whilst you feel the sensations in your body.

Don't worry if you miss any phrases or don't repeat the words exactly.

You can't get this meditation wrong.

I sincerely hope that this meditation brings you peace and a deep and sound sleep.

Start by making your body as comfortable as you possibly can.

Making any final adjustments that you need to now so that you can give yourself completely to this time of deep rest.

I invite you to hand over all the stories of your day and all the stories of the world and to trust that life is taking care of itself.

So that right now,

Dear friend,

There's nothing to do.

There's nowhere to go.

Nothing to control or manage.

And it's enough right now just to be here.

Just as you are.

Feel where your body makes contact with the surface beneath.

And just let the weight of your whole body fall into that support.

Feel the sensation where your head meets the pillow.

And let your head be held.

Let's take a few really slow,

Really deep breaths together.

Inhaling right down into your belly and exhaling with a long and soft sigh.

Breathing in,

Low and slow.

Breathing out,

Just letting it all go.

Aware as you breathe in.

Aware as you breathe out.

Deep breath in.

Inhaling and exhaling.

Not changing it.

Not controlling it.

Just body.

Breathing.

All by itself.

Reviews

A beautiful, restful meditation.
As usual Mandy's voice is perfect.
Thank you are Merry Christmas.

Your voice and a great teacher, and a healer I feel, cleared my mind to let things go and feel oneself as a safe, peaceful, relaxing that is wonderful & reminds me how I’ve not been doing this by myself! I fell sleep in several minutes! I will play it again to hear all of it, and how, what you created! Thank you so much.

Thanks for this long autogenic relaxation Amanda. The first few minutes were lovely, but then - Zzzzzzz 😴💤. So the meditation did its job!😄
I'll try and hear all of it next time!
Loving wishes dear friend. 🙏❤

Managed to hear most of it this time 😀.
It is indeed a superb autogenic relaxation Amanda and the background music supports it well. I resonate and agree with the sentiments of our friend Shuman on his comments a couple of weeks ago.
You are a blessing to many of us dear friend.
Enjoy your time with friends and family over the Christmas period. Sending my love. 🙏💖

Oh Amanda. Sorry that you have come down with the dreaded covid😷😪. I hope it is not a bad dose of it and that you have a speedy and full recovery. Sending some healing 'e-chicken soup'!
💖
😴💤💤💤, 💖🙏. Delightfully and soporifically intoxicating Amanda

Sommeil délicieux! A great meditation in any language !! 🙏💖

A wonderful balm for a hyperaroused mind again thanks Amanda 😊 I was beautifully held as the mind let go into spacious rest.❤🙏
More Zzzzzzs today. 😍🙏
Such a beautiful track from the Queen of autogenics 💓🙏🌷

Amanda, this was so helpful today, as I was extremely edgy. Thank you dear friend 💞 🙏.
Managed to get to the beginning of the left arm then 💤💤. Still incredibly tired from the illness.❤
Glad I had time for a longer nap today. 🙏
🙏❤️
Purrrrrfect again today on wintery afternoon. 🙏🥰

An absolutely wonderful, comforting and soothing meditation. I fell asleep at the end. One I will come back to again. 🙏

Super calming as I prepare for bed! Thank you I believe these words will be helpful as I often wake up in the middle of the night more tools for my toolbox. Many blessings and Namaste.

Lovely, comforting voice to help me get back to sleep 💤 💞🙏🏻

Very helpful in quieting the mind to get back to sleep. Thank you.

Well, that was lovely, and must've been really good as I don't think I made it through the first 10 mins before I was out for a very restful sleep, thank you, Amanda! 🙏🧡✨️

Thank you. I felt very calm, relaxed and peaceful.

Dear Amanda, I think the big challenge I face in reviewing your meditations is that there are no words in the English language that can adequately describe the sheer mastery of what has been produced. I am lost for words and I am so sorry that I can't express the true value of the work that you have produced here. I believe that if one knew Sanskrit or Latin well enough then they may do it some justice. I am so sorry that I don't have the words Amanda as I feel as though I do you a disservice. I wish I could convey your brilliance to you .
Please accept my love.
Shuman

This worked for me. Ty for making this helpful program.

Beautiful soothing voice and helpful meditation 🙏🏼🥰

I also think I’m going to listen for awhile but no, literally within the first five minutes I’m asleep. Your voice is very soothing💜
