And now I would like you to picture a windmill in a peaceful rural setting,

Surrounded by wild flowers and lush green grass.

And it's a warm summer's evening and there is a cool breeze and the sun is beginning to set in the distance as it casts a golden glow across the landscape.

Just take a moment to watch as the sails of the windmill slowly turn in the gentle summer breeze.

And in this place you feel very safe and secure and so peaceful now.

And as you take in the surroundings you become aware of the peaceful sounds around you,

The sounds of nature and you feel so relaxed and calm now,

Enjoying that feeling of being in the present moment.

And if any thoughts or distractions should come into your mind,

I want you to mentally place the thought onto one of the windmill sails and watch as it gradually turns.

And as the sail moves around to its highest point,

The thought can gently drift off into the golden evening sky.

Just let it go and watch it disappear.

And any time you get an unwanted thought or a distraction,

You can remember to do this,

To place the thought onto the windmill sail and let it go.

And whenever you do this,

You will feel very calm and peaceful and centered and grounded.

And as you continue to watch the windmill sails,

You become more deeply relaxed,

More peaceful and sleepy and tired.

Just allow yourself to let go so that you can feel completely at peace in this moment.

And it's good to remember that all thoughts are like this,

They come into being and pass.

Just know that everything will pass and the ups and downs of life are just part of the process.

And so any time that you need to clear your mind and fall into a deep sleep,

Just close your eyes and imagine the windmill and place any thoughts on the sails as they disappear,

And then you can watch as they disappear off into the sky and up into the universe.

And when you observe your thoughts from a distance,

Your mind naturally becomes quieter and calmer.

And now you can drift away into a deep sleep and the gentle sounds will continue to wash over you and make you feel sleepier and sleepier.

And from now on,

You will look forward to going to bed at night and as soon as you get into bed and lay your head back on the pillow,

You will feel very sleepy and tired and you will soon drift down into a deep relaxing sleep.

And when you wake up in the morning,

You will feel completely refreshed and renewed after such a deep nourishing sleep.

And you awaken with a sense of peace and wellbeing and you will continue to nurture your ability to let go of unnecessary thoughts and tension and you will naturally drift into a deep sleep every night,

A deep deep sleep.

And you can go to sleep now and wish you all the best as you drift off into a deep sleep.

Love peace and sweet dreams.

In these very anxious days, As an American and a mother and a grandmother I find it hard to get to sleep - torn and worried about those I love and about what our country will become- what it will do. Glenn Harrold makes a difference for me and I’m grateful for any respite. Bless and thank you! 🩷

I used to listen to this “short” version of your Windmill meditation every night on another app. It is perfect for gently but quickly shifting the mind to let go and allow sleep. This short version was removed from the other app I used (leaving only the long version). So thrilled to have found it again!

You have a lovely calming voice. I was so happy to find you on here. I purchased two of your cd's a while ago now. Self confidence and self esteem. Your voice and ability to heal helped me then and on other occasions when I needed a freind and I'm sure will help me now.
