This guided meditation is for relaxation and is a good meditation to do prior to sleep.
If you choose to do this meditation right before you fall asleep,
Make sure that you've done everything that you need to do to get ready for bed.
Going to the bathroom,
Washing your face,
Brushing your teeth,
Etc.
Making sure that you've turned off your phone,
Dimmed the lights.
Remember that this is your time,
A time for total relaxation and finding inner stillness and peace.
Lie down and take a moment to make sure that you are warm enough and that you're lying comfortably.
You can either rest your hands loosely on your lap,
Your chest,
Or at your side.
And then close down your eyes.
Take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in.
Hold for a moment and then slowly begin to exhale.
And simply allow any tension to melt away as you gradually relax more and more deeply.
Take another long,
Slow,
Deep breath in.
Holding at the top and then slowly exhale.
Empty your lungs completely with your out-breath.
And now take a third deep breath in.
Holding for a moment and then simply letting go.
You can already feel yourself drifting into a state of deep relaxation.
Continue to breathe slowly,
Naturally,
Gently,
Using your own natural breath.
As you bring your awareness to the top of your head,
And simply sense or imagine a feeling of relaxation beginning to spread down from the top of your scalp.
Feel the muscles in your forehead and temples relax.
Allow your eye muscles to release.
And let your cheeks and jaw soften and let go of all and any tension.
Now let this peaceful feeling flow down into your neck.
Feel it loosening every muscle and every fiber.
With each breath you take,
This relaxing feeling becomes deeper and deeper.
It works its way down into the muscles in your shoulders,
Soothing them,
Releasing any and all tension.
This peaceful feeling flows down from the shoulders and into your arms.
It loosens the muscles in your upper arms,
Your forearms,
Your hands,
The fingers,
Relaxing and soothing.
And as your body relaxes,
Your mind relaxes and your thoughts seem to become lighter.
You are slipping further and further into a dreamlike state of stillness,
Peace,
And relaxation.
And bring your awareness to your chest and your stomach.
Feel how this area of your body gently rises and falls as you breathe.
A peaceful sensation flows throughout this area of your body,
Soothing every muscle,
Relaxing.
And turn your attention to the upper back and feel this relaxing sensation flow all the way down your spine as it gradually works its way down your body.
Feel every muscle in your back relaxing and unwinding.
Feel that your entire upper body has become loose,
Limp,
And relaxed.
And now feel your hips relax as this peaceful feeling starts to work its way through your lower body.
Relax your buttocks,
The back of your thighs,
The front of your thighs.
Feel all these large,
Strong muscle groups becoming looser and more relaxed with each passing moment.
Soothing feelings of relaxation flow down through your knees and into your calves.
Your ankles are relaxed,
Your feet relaxed.
Allow your entire lower body to relax completely and allow any remaining tension from anywhere in your body to flow out through the tips of your toes.
You are comfortable,
Peaceful,
Relaxed.
