Welcome.
In this guided journaling and meditation session,
I'm going to guide you through a routine to help calm your mind,
Release anxiety,
And calm your body,
Allowing you to fall asleep and get the healing sleep that you need.
It is also infused with Reiki to help you clear your energy as you're doing your nighttime routine.
We're going to begin with some journaling time.
I'm going to share three journal prompts and then after each one,
Give you time to write about it.
After our journaling,
We're going to walk through a visualization to release what we've journaled and calm our bodies.
Finally,
It ends with some Reiki only music so you can drift off to sleep.
So let's go ahead and start our bedtime routine.
Start by getting into a comfortable seated position for our journaling section.
You can do this in your bed or wherever makes the most sense for you.
Let's begin with a series of calming breaths,
Allowing our nervous system to reset and allow us to get the most from this.
Start by inhaling for four counts and exhaling for six.
So take a deep breath in.
And exhale out.
Take another breath in.
And exhale.
Take a deep breath in… and exhale all the stress and worry from today.
Leaving it all behind.
Allowing yourself permission to find calm so that you can rest.
If you've closed your eyes,
Slowly open them.
And spend some time writing down what you need to do tomorrow.
This coming week,
Or this month,
List any to-do item that pops into your mind.
Don't plan them,
Simply get them onto the paper for tomorrow.
Now I want you to leave a little bit of space below what you have written.
As we move to the next prompt,
We leave this space because our minds tend to think of things that we need to do as we continue this process.
Leaving extra space gives you room to go back and add those to your list.
Your next journal prompt is,
What do I need to release from today?
Write down any arguments,
Disagreements,
Worries,
Anything you're still holding on to from today.
You don't need to process these right now.
You're simply getting them onto paper to acknowledge that they are there.
So again,
What do you need to release from today?
Our final prompt helps us access our intuition and spirit guides to gain insight into what you might need to hear at this moment.
Allow yourself to free write this section.
What do I need to know?
Now set your pen down.
If you want to transition to a laying down position,
Do so now.
I do recommend you keep your pen and journal handy as thoughts may appear as your body relaxes and you may want to write those down.
Take a deep breath in.
And exhale letting your body fully sink into the surface you are on.
As you close your eyes.
You notice in the sky around you an incoming hot air balloon.
It is slowly descending closer and closer to you.
Notice the colors on it.
It's coming closer and closer.
It's coming closer and closer.
And finally sets itself on the ground right by you.
From this hot air balloon,
Your spirit guides appear,
Asking you to place everything that you have written down into the balloon.
All your worries,
Fears,
To-do items,
Put them all in the hot air balloon.
When the final one is placed in the balloon,
Thank your spirit team for taking care of them while you rest.
Watch them climb into the balloon and begin to take off.
They will watch over everything you have put in there while you rest.
It can be returned to you tomorrow if you choose to have it returned.
But for right now,
Everything that you are concerned about is being taken care of.
Watch it float away.
Watch it disappear into the clouds.
Now slowly turn your attention to your body.
Taking a deep breath in.
And exhale.
Imagine a clean,
Healing,
White light energy coming up from Mother Earth.
It enters the soles of your feet,
Radiating through your feet to clear out any toxic energy,
Any negative emotions,
Or any pain.
It works its way through your muscles,
Your bones,
Your ligaments,
Cleansing and healing every part of your foot.
As it is finished with your feet,
This energy moves into your ankles,
Doing the same thing.
Cleansing and clearing everything out that no longer serves you.
Relaxing each body part as it goes.
Allow that energy to move to your right calf.
Your right thigh.
Healing all parts of your right leg.
Allow the energy to move to your left calf.
Your left thigh,
All parts of your left leg.
Allowing this white light energy to heal and cleanse you.
Allow that energy to move into your pelvis.
Clearing and cleansing and relaxing.
Allowing it to move into your stomach.
Providing calming and clearing energy.
Moving up to your chest.
Mending any pieces of your heart that need attention.
Allowing that white light energy to move up and down your back.
Cleansing and clearing and relaxing.
Allowing it to move into your shoulders.
Releasing any tension.
Allowing the energy to move down your right arm all the way to your fingertips.
Allowing it to move to your left arm.
All the way down to your left fingertips.
With each body part that this healing light touches.
It relaxes it,
Calms the muscles.
And puts you into a state of deep relaxation.
Allow the energy to move up to your neck.
And up into your head.
If there is any body part that still needs more relaxation and healing,
Allow the energy to go there now.
Finally releasing all that energy,
With all the negative energies it has collected,
To be released up to the universe,
Where it will be cleansed,
Cleared,
And returned back to earth.
Take a deep breath in.
And exhale.
Allow yourself now to drift off into sleep.
You are safe.
Your body is safe.
Your mind is safe.
You
