Getting a Good Night's Sleep Part 2

If you have a hard time falling sleep or getting deep, rejuvenating rest, you must listen to this series. Getting a Good Night's Rest guided meditation series has seven parts, intended to be listened to on seven (preferably consecutive) days. It is derived from my research over the past 20 years on getting maximum rejuvenation and waking up feeling your very best. The practice includes tips from neuroscience, sleep hygiene, yoga techniques and ancient spiritual practices.

Transcript

Welcome to day two of sleeping well.

The last 20 minutes before you fall asleep is key because that's when your subconscious mind is preparing as you're going into sleep and it's going to be the basis of the quality of your night's rest.

Darken the room or use eye shades.

If noise is an issue,

Use earplugs.

Try to avoid technology.

So try to avoid having a TV that's on in the bedroom and prepare the subconscious mind to go into a deep state of sleep.

In today's meditation exercise,

We go back down memory lane.

Go to a recent incident or from childhood to a scene of joy where you had less responsibility,

Were carefree,

And life was fun.

Walk into that scene.

Where were you?

What were you doing there?

Who were you with?

And most importantly,

How did you feel at that moment?

Acknowledge that scene with gratitude and let it go.

Let it go from the heart saying thank you.

Now,

Move on to the next such scene from either recent past or childhood,

A scene of joy.

Walk into that scene.

Where were you?

What were you doing there?

Who were you with?

And how did you feel at that moment?

Acknowledge that scene with gratitude and let it go from the heart saying thank you.

You can continue this for as long as you fall asleep saying thank you and letting it go.

Congratulations you have completed day two of learning to sleep well.

Let's check in again tomorrow.

Squeeze and let go.

Now the forearms.

Tightening them,

Holding and let go.

Let's do the same thing with the palms.

Clench your fingers.

Make a tight fist in both hands and let go.

And notice what this exercise over the last five minutes has done for you.

Hope you have a good night's rest.

We'll check in tomorrow.
