This is Canada Meditates advanced guided meditation restorative sleep.
There are so many other meditations available today.
I appreciate you choosing this one.
Thanks.
My hope is to give you an experience that not only helps you to sleep now,
But will also help you to heal and find a deep,
Restful,
And restorative sleep in the nights ahead.
You can begin to relax your body by making yourself really comfortable now.
You may already know that communication between your cognitive and physical systems in your mind and body work equally well in both directions.
Which means you can influence your mind slowing down by slowing down your body.
Let's try it now.
Take a great,
Big,
Satisfying,
Deep breath in.
Hold it just for a moment.
And then really relax your body as you breathe out.
Again,
Take a long,
Big,
Deep breath in,
Feeling your back and ribs expand.
Hold for a moment and slowly let the breath out.
Both your mind and body understand that you are inviting and allowing yourself to relax.
As you continue to breathe fully,
Deeply into your belly,
And slowly out,
You might notice your arms and legs responding to the deeper breathing,
Or the beautiful feeling of letting go when you exhale.
Letting go of tension in your neck and shoulders.
Letting go of tension and stress around your eyes and jaw.
And as you close your eyes,
Letting your tongue relax and just rest in the bottom of your mouth.
Continue to breathe easily and comfortably now.
Listening to the sound of your breathing,
Soothing and familiar.
Noticing the sounds in the room.
The sound of my voice.
The position of your hands.
Feeling growing contentment or easiness.
Imagine for a moment as you relax into this experience that you are drifting down a pleasant and peaceful river.
Drifting effortlessly above the surface like a leaf.
Easily gliding past the shoreline.
Lazily drifting along.
The further you go,
The more comfortable you become.
The more relaxed you become.
The more at ease you become.
As you continue to drift along,
Breathing easily and comfortably.
Imagine the soft and gentle river banks passing by.
Imagine the fresh,
Clean air and the grassy shore.
Simply passing by as you float down the river.
There is nothing for you to do.
Nothing bothers you.
Nothing disturbs you.
Nothing gets in your way.
Drifting deeper down,
You may look up and see the trees stretching up to the sky as you pass slowly beneath them.
Opening up to an experience of letting go and just drifting easily.
More connected to the experience of just breathing in the moment.
More connected to the sensation of drifting along in the moment.
Soon,
You will begin a magical healing experience where your mind and body will know just what to do.
All you have to do is allow it to happen.
Imagine now as you approach the end of the river.
Evening has fallen.
The mouth of the river empties into a pool of light with light beams coming up from deep in the bottom of the pool.
You glide easily,
Effortlessly toward the center of the pool.
Take your time.
Floating easily and effortlessly,
Resting safely beneath the starry sky.
There you can breathe easily.
And from somewhere far below,
The soft white light rises up and bathes the top of your head.
Warming your neck,
Your back and shoulders.
There is a magical healing power just being aware of this experience.
As the light reaches every part of you now,
You can feel yourself drifting down into the soft white light,
Breathing even more easily now as you sink deeper into this experience,
Just letting it happen.
With the energy of light growing even stronger,
Spreading into every cell in your body,
Into your heart and lungs,
Into your organs and abdomen,
Down to your legs,
And up and out to your arms.
Bringing deep healing,
Restoring in a way that's just right for you.
The light energy cradles you,
Sparkling all around.
You begin to sparkle with the light,
Going all the way down to the deepest level of healing,
Through the center of the light,
Into the healing energy.
Letting go of anything holding you back,
Allowing it to dissolve into the light,
With the entire experience sparkling with love and light and life.
The further you begin to drift,
The deeper into sleep you will go.
You can drift away into sleep now,
Better able to find sleep each night and find pleasure and joy every day of your life.
Letting go of anything holding you back,
Allowing it to dissolve into the light,
You

No sudden changes in volume or intonation. The sparse gentle music is perfectly placed and doesnβt distract. And then there is his magical soothing voice that guides you to complete relaxation. Wonderful! My back pain eased up immediately. Thank you so much!
