Hello and welcome. My name is Ellie. And I'll be guiding your practice today. Helping you access a deep state of meditation so that you can fall deeply asleep and sleep well throughout the night. Go ahead now and get as comfortable as possible. Ideally lying down flat on your back. Fluttering your eyes closed and taking a deep breath in through your nose. Exhale through your mouth. And let's do that two more times, Breathing in through your nose. Out through your mouth. And taking one more deep breath in through the nose out through your mouth, Letting go of your day and enjoying a natural breathing pattern for now. Can you imagine yourself? Sitting in a beautiful field by a babbling brook. A meadow surrounded by mountains. And as you look over to your left you see A marble staircase leading somewhere over the hill. You decide to get up and go to the stairs. At the bottom of the staircase, Something glimmers. And shimmers and you want to see what it is. With each step you take you'll feel more and more deeply relaxed. As I count from 10 to 1 each step down. Will make you more and more deeply and completely relaxed. Taking the first step down now, 10, 9, So relaxed, 8, 7, 6, 5, Twice as relaxed now, 4, 3, Two. And what now? Completely relaxed and as you approach this shimmering object you feel so peaceful. You feel so ready to let go to move into a deeper peace now. Can you approach this shimmering, Sparkling object? And notice what it is. Anything that appears to you is perfect. Go ahead and notice what it's here to help you with. And when you're ready observing it. Simply put it into your pocket. Letting the message resonate in your heart Beautiful. Go ahead and notice a beautiful moss-covered bench. That looks so inviting you cannot help. But go over. And lie down. And let go. Into a deep meditation. Simply by being aware of your body. The temperature of your skin. Your heartbeat or pulse. Your breath moving through. And. . . And out. Settling deeply into this space. Breathing in your natural rhythm here. And I will rejoin you when it's time to go back up the stairs. This concludes our chorus sleep session. Again, I'm Ellie Bosmarova, I'm so proud of you, And I can't wait to breathe with you again soon. Have a beautiful rest.
