Welcome to this meditation for sleep.
I invite you to lay down and get cozy.
Perhaps you'd like to lay on your back and let your hands rest on your belly or softly down by your side.
Allow gravity to do its work and sink into your bed.
As your body becomes heavy and weighted,
Allow all of your day's worries,
All the concerns,
All the to-do's to fall away as you come back into yourself as a human being,
Letting go of all you're doing and giving your body permission to rest.
Nice and but at the same time,
Reminder your self Scott is here and you may or may not feel the need to let the mind tell you.
Giving your mind permission to be at ease.
Taking a moment to orient yourself to your surroundings.
Looking around your bedroom,
Letting your eyes be soft.
No need to judge anything you see.
Just allowing yourself to take it in.
Noticing the windows,
Noticing the door,
Noticing the ceiling.
And then letting your eyes rest and softly close.
Feeling into your surroundings.
Noticing the weight of your blankets on your body.
Feeling any sensations of weight or heaviness in your body.
Noticing your back body as it's making contact with the bed.
And allowing yourself to sink even deeper into the bed.
Relaxing,
Letting go.
Allowing yourself to be held by the bed.
Turning your awareness into your body.
As you allow sleep to begin to come.
As you notice how you're feeling physically in your body.
Letting your awareness come to the top of your head.
Scaning down to your forehead.
Unwrinkling your forehead.
Letting your eyebrows be soft.
Relaxing your eyelids.
Relaxing your cheeks.
Relaxing your ears.
Letting your tongue be soft.
Unclenching your jaw.
Relaxing your jaw.
Relaxing your jaw.
Relaxing your jaw.
Relaxing your jaw.
Relaxing the front of the throat.
The back of the throat.
The sides of the throat.
The shoulders.
We often carry the weight of the world on our shoulders.
Give yourself permission to put it down as your shoulders relax and become soft.
As tension begins to dissolve.

Fingertips,

Letting your breath deepen.
Letting your breath slow as you invite your body to rest and digest.
Letting your breath slow as you invite your body to rest and digest.
Soften your chest.
Relaxing your abdomen.

As your body invites sleep.
