You can begin by slowing down your breathing.
Settle in and make yourself comfortable.
Nestle into your bed and let this be an affirmation meditation to help guide you as you drift into deep and restorative sleep.
This is a safe space for you to release the day so you can soften your thoughts and surrender into the deep and nourishing rest that you deserve.
Throughout this affirmation meditation,
Allow your breath to carry you and guide you into your body.
Breathing deeply and softening as you relax.
Remembering that each of these words are here to guide you into softening and slowing down.
I am settling.
I am softening.
I am slowing down.
I breathe in calm.
I breathe out tension.
My body knows how to relax and I allow it to do so now.
My heartbeat slows down as my breath deepens.
I release any and all tension in my body,
Mind,
And spirit and melt into the ease of rest.
I easily slow down my thinking.
I easily slow down my mind.
With each breath,
I invite peace.
I easily release and let go of all that no longer serves me.
My body is soft.
My breath is slow.
I allow my mind to be a quiet river,
Gently flowing towards rest.
In this moment,
I am safe.
I easily access stillness and let myself slow down.
I trust my body to restore itself.
I trust my dreams to guide me.
I trust my body's wisdom to restore and renew itself.
I soften my shoulders.
I soften my jaw.
I relax my hands,
Letting go completely.
My nervous system is recalibrating to a state of deep peace.
It is safe for me to rest.
I surrender to the rhythm of relaxation.
I settle into stillness with ease.
My body and mind are in perfect harmony.
I am in tune with the quiet wisdom of my heart.
As I relax,
I invite a deep sense of trust within myself.
My heartbeat slows down as my breath deepens.
My body softens as I relax.
I allow my nervous system to reset,
Recalibrate,
And restore.
Rest is my natural state.
I am calm.
I am peaceful.
All is well.
I am well.
I know that I am well and I am safe.
I allow myself to drift softly into relaxation.
I am letting go.
I am letting go.
All is well.
I am safe.
I am at peace.
I am softening.
I am drifting.
I am patient.
As you continue to drift deeper into relaxation,
Allow yourself to continue to let go of any remaining thoughts or worries.
Know that you are safe and you can access a deep sense of peace within yourself.
Your body and mind are ready for rest.
And with each breath,
You can soften into more and more ease.
Rest.
Restore.
Allow.
Rest.
Restore.
Allow.
Rest.
Restore.
Allow.
Rest.
