A beautiful guided sleep meditation that will have you falling asleep in minutes to help you release the day behind you as your body and mind drift off peacefully to a special place of rest.
After the final words are spoken,
The soft background music continues to play in the background for several hours.
So I encourage you to rest and lean into this experience.
Let's begin.
Find yourself comfortably lying in bed with your eyes gently closed.
Start by welcoming any subtle shifts in how your body is positioned,
Giving yourself permission to settle and soften,
And encouraging yourself to settle a little more still by taking a few slow deep breaths.
Breathing in through your nose slowly and with each exhale.
Find yourself sinking a little deeper,
Encouraging each breath to become longer.
Noticing now how your exhales are lasting longer than your breath in,
Feeling your body lighten as you breathe.
Notice the temperature of your breath as you inhale,
Feeling the warmth you created on the exhale.
So,
As you take another long slow breath in,
Filling up completely with safety and trust.
And as you breathe out,
Let go of what you no longer need.
Let go of anything that is no longer serving you.
It is up to you to allow the sensations of relaxation to go deeper.
You can allow any remaining tension to flow from your body,
To have it leave completely.
Take a moment to connect with the contentment,
The inner peace that you have while living in the present moment.
Now as you continue to relax and follow my voice,
Use your mind's eye to create a visual scene.
Imagine you are in a place where you are at peace and free.
Maybe this is a familiar place you have visited many times.
Maybe it's a comforting place that exists only in your mind.
Perhaps your mind has taken you to a coastal beach with a gentle breeze slowly blowing over the beach grass covered dunes.
Or maybe you've found yourself on an inviting forest trail,
A pathway created by dark earthy soil and majestic trees with vibrant branches.
Whatever this place looks like for you,
It's perfect.
Take time to let the details of this place unfold in your mind.
Feel your body in a state of calm and stillness.
This place is your personal inner sanctuary,
Your ideal place for rejuvenating your body and mind.
As you begin to see yourself in detail,
Start to imagine yourself safely standing at the top of ten steps leading down.
And in a moment,
As I begin to count down from ten to one,
You will effortlessly descend the stairs as you go deeper into a state of relaxation.
Finding yourself on step ten now.
You are aware of how relaxed you have already become.
The private sanctuary is a place that feels good to explore yourself,
A place where you are welcome and accepted to just be.
Moving down to step nine.
You are aware that powerful emotional healing is taking place right now.
On to step eight.
You are relaxing further and your inner wisdom is strong here.
On to step seven.
You have compassion and love for yourself.
On to step six.
You are feeling an undeniable sense of calm and peace.
Moving down on to step five.
You are now halfway down.
And still,
You can go deeper.
As you continue to let go,
You have a clear sense of safety as your heart rate slows.
On to step four now.
You feel a comforting warmth radiating through you.
Down another level to step three.
In this peaceful place you have created for yourself.
And on to step two.
Here,
You have a deeper understanding of who you are meant to be.
You can safely explore different parts with your curiosity,
Compassion,
And love.
And finally,
Down to step one.
You are all the way down.
You have unlocked the deepest state of relaxation.
You have compassion and love for yourself.
You see your soul for who it is.
You are healing.
You have an internal knowing of who and what you are meant for in this lifetime.
And still,
You can go deeper.
There is nothing more for you to do.
No thoughts to be had.
Simply,
Just be.
