I welcome you to this meditation.
As I am recording this meditation,
Humanity is going through a challenging time in history.
And during such times,
One of the aspects of our daily lives that gets affected the most is our sleep.
Some of us don't sleep at all,
Some of us sleep but keep waking up in the middle of the night.
While there are others who manage to sleep for longer durations,
But still their sleep is very surface level.
Even after sleeping for long hours and then waking up in the morning,
They feel tired.
The stress and anxiety in their minds prevents them from going deeper into the realm of deep sleep.
My name is Saqib and I will guide you through a meditation which will do three things.
Number one,
It will release stress and anxiety from your mind and your body and bring them to a calm and relaxed state.
Number two,
It will provide healing energy to your body which will keep you healthy.
And number three,
It will take you into the deeper realms of sleep so that you experience quality sleep.
I understand that these are challenging times and it is not easy to control our state of mind and our feelings.
But for this meditation,
Leave that to me and trust me as your guide.
I want to tell you that I love you and the universe loves you.
Together we will form a protective layer of healing energy around us which will keep us healthy and calm.
So let's get started then.
As this meditation involves some hand movements,
I would request you to lie down straight on your back.
Be as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
Also,
Keep your eyes open for now.
I will prompt you to close them soon.
Now just be aware of your external surroundings.
Notice the space that you are in.
Feel the weight of your body.
Feel the air on your skin.
Feel the smell in the air.
And listen to the sounds around you.
Notice what is there in your line of sight.
Is it the roof or is it a wall?
Scan the entire roof or wall or whatever there is in your line of sight.
If it is too dark and you can't see anything,
Just gaze into the darkness.
And now bring your focus to a single point on the roof or the wall or any single point in the darkness in the line of your sight.
And just gaze at this point for some time.
Let your gaze be a soft gaze.
Restrain your eyes.
And now gradually close your eyes.
Let's together set our sankalpa or intention for having quality sleep.
I will say the words of sankalpa and either you can repeat after me in your heart or just listen to my words,
It's up to you.
I give deep rest and relaxation to my mind and my body.
I give deep rest and relaxation to my mind and my body.
I give deep rest and relaxation to my mind and my body.
And now we will start with the exercise of releasing stress from our body and filling our body with the healing light that will keep us healthy and safe.
This light is the healing energy provided to you by the universe.
So now place both your hands on the top of your head with your palms touching your head.
Now bring your awareness to your breathing and as you breathe in,
Imagine that you are breathing in white light.
The white light will then fill the top of your head where your hands are placed.
And as you breathe out,
Feel your head relaxing.
Now take a deep breath in.
Imagine the light filling the top of your head.
And exhale.
Feel your head relaxing now.
Take three more breaths into the top of your head.
And exhale.

Relax and sleep deeply For this we will move our awareness from the mind to the throat to the heart And into that place of silence and stillness So bring your awareness now at the center of your forehead Gradually move your awareness downwards and place your awareness at your throat at the center of your neck And now move your awareness further downwards and place it at the center of your chest From here we will journey into a place of silence,
A place of stillness,
A place of pure being This place is deep within us Descend down to that place as I guide you I will be counting back from 10 to 1 And as I do so with each count Imagine and feel as if you are descending one step into that place of silence,
Stillness and sleep Once you reach that place of pure being Just relax there by simply listening to the music in the background for some time As you go deeper and deeper into the world of sleep Rest in that state of pure awareness Let's begin 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
