Hi.
And here is a meditation for helping you go into deep,
Restful sleep.
So settling in to a comfortable position,
Ready for sleep.
And affirm to yourself that you're going to go into a deep,
Restful sleep.
Welcoming a sense of ease and wellbeing.
Be aware of the feeling of your body resting on the bed.
The air touching your skin.
Sense the breath in the body.
The rise and fall of the abdomen.
Let go of thinking.
Just feel.
And breathe into your body a sense of ease and relaxation.
Bring your attention to your breath.
Just noticing the flow of the breath.
Coming and going with each inhalation and exhalation.
The body relaxing more and more with each out-breath.
Relaxing.
Letting go.
Relaxing and softening.
Sensing ease and wellbeing.
