Transcript

So you've woken up and would like to drift back to sleep.

I'll be right here with you to help you relax so your body can release any tension and you can head back into a deep slumber.

Closing down your eyes and lay on your back,

Cosy in your bed.

Comfortable under your sheets,

Your head supported by your pillow,

Your body sinking here into your mattress.

Letting go of any worries or thoughts.

As thoughts come up,

And they will,

Visualize them as clouds passing above in the sky,

Letting your mind and body let go of all effort.

Breathing in,

Breathing out.

We're here together,

Letting your mind relax.

Breathing in,

Breathe out.

Feeling your back relax into the mattress.

If you'd like to,

Gently turning on your side,

Allowing your arms to wrap around a pillow,

Your legs are relaxed.

We're going to start scanning from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

Breathing in,

Breathing out.

Letting the breath anchor you down into the mattress.

Remember the more you connect to your breath,

The more your mind will begin to slow.

Bring your awareness here to the top of your scalp.

Taking your awareness towards the forehead.

Eyebrows are softening.

Down the bridge of your nose.

Your jaw soften.

Your tongue heavy.

Awareness of your neck.

The right side of your neck.

The left side of your neck.

Taking your awareness down your shoulders.

Down the right arm.

The elbow.

The wrist.

Hand.

And fingers.

The temperature of the air around you.

Breathe long and slow breaths.

Taking awareness now down the left arm.

The elbow.

The wrist.

The hand.

And the fingers.

Bring your awareness now here towards your chest.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Sinking deeper into relaxation.

Your belly softening.

Moving down your thighs.

Your awareness here at your knees.

Calves.

Ankles.

Your feet.

All the way into the toes.

Taking a moment to send a few nourishing breaths to your whole body.

Allowing it to rest.

Feeling your body as one harmonious system.

Allowing yourself to sign off for the day.

There is nothing left to do.

Just knowing that by lying here you are resting your body.

Taking nice deep breaths.

Sinking deeper into relaxation.

As your body feels relaxed.

Using the next minute of music to soothe you into dreamland.

Thank you.

Reviews

This wonderful meditation was there at the right time as I couldn’t sleep. I think it goes without saying all good things show up at the right time thank you for sharing this wonderful meditation. Namaste.

Found myself unable to go back to sleep and looked to tracks to help. Message and music helped very much .

Very soothing. Thank you. 🙏

I went right back to sleep!

Thank you, sending good wishes.

This is the most effective meditation I’ve found for waking up in the middle of the night. I’ve used it dozens of times and almost never make it to the end. The kind, confident voice (on maybe lower volume) work so much better than a whispered sleep meditation for me. Settling in on my back and THEN turning on my side (my favorite sleep position) is a key moment of relaxation for me!

I'm not sure what the guidance was, because I went back to sleep. I have chronic insomnia; this was perfect. Thank you.

Ah, now I see, after reading other reviews. I did hear the guidance from start to finish. I wasn't asleep at the end. I recall one thought, an intention to reach for the phone and select another, longer track to put me to sleep. My mind and body were so still, and that was such a welcome feeling, I just Iaid still with it. I drifted back to sleep on my own peaceful mind, instead of another's soothing voice. It's been decades since I've experienced that. This worked even better than I thought! 😉😘

Was helpful. Thanks

Thank you for your guidance ❤️

Worked like a charm!

I found the teacher’s voice soothing. I appreciated the suggestion to hug a pillow. I also appreciated the body scan. Thank you for offering this.
