Deep Sleep Guided Imagery - Wellness Retreat

This meditation uses guided imagery for deep sleep. Using the power of your incredible mind, let me take you on a journey to the South of France for a transformational wellness retreat. You’ll stay in a beautiful 16th-century château where an important message awaits you.

This track includes a series of powerful affirmations to help you raise your vibration and allow abundance to flow into your life (Law of Attraction). I recommend listening every day for at least 21 days. This is the time it takes for the affirmations to create new neural pathways.

This meditation is designed to guide you down into a deep state of physical and mental relaxation. It ends with an invitation for deep healing sleep.

The music in the background is ‘Serenetude for Dreaming’, by MaJiKer, who is also a teacher here on Insight Timer. The track is a soothing, calming soundscape created using a single note and sculpted into an immersive sonic landscape.

Hello,

My name is Heather Dean.

Thank you for choosing this guided visualisation for deep sleep,

Designed to help you let in the abundance that is rightfully yours.

Neuroscience tells us that whether we've had an experience,

Or whether we just feel like we have because we imagined it,

The result in terms of what's happening in the brain and nervous system is almost identical.

This is a guided visualisation of a wellness retreat experience at a 16th century chateau in the south of France.

I'm going to take you on a journey using the power of your incredible mind.

And when you're feeling nice and relaxed,

And your subconscious mind is open to empowering suggestions,

Or perhaps even sleeping deeply with only your subconscious mind still listening,

There will be some powerful affirmations to help you continue moving in the direction of your biggest hopes and dreams.

So just make yourself as comfortable as you possibly can in a position ready for sleep.

If at any time during this recording you feel like changing your position would make you even more comfortable,

Please do so.

And if you should want or need to come back to full consciousness at any time,

You can easily choose to do that.

You are always free and always in control.

Before we get started,

In a moment I'm going to invite you to roll your eyes right up,

Almost as if you were looking up into your own eyebrows or towards your third eye chakra.

We're going to do this together for the count of three breaths and then you will close your eyes and let them relax completely.

This action of rolling the eyes up creates little bursts of alpha brainwaves that in turn help us to very quickly move into a more relaxed,

Peaceful and inwardly focused state,

Perfect for rest,

Restoration and deep sleep.

So go ahead now and roll your eyes right up,

Take a deep breath in through your nose and breathe out.

And again keeping your eyes rolled up,

A nice deep breath in and breathe out slowly.

And every time you blink you're going deeper into relaxation.

So just one last time,

A deep breath in through your nose and breathe out slowly and as you breathe out just let your eyes float closed,

Drift closed,

Let your eyes relax completely as every muscle,

Every nerve lets loose,

Turns loose and you go deeper into relaxation.

That's perfect,

You're doing so well.

And this might sound a little strange for a sleep meditation but throughout this recording I don't want you to try to sleep.

I don't want you to try to do anything at all in fact.

All you have to do is rest your attention gently on the sound of my voice and allow the words to wash over you.

If at any time you notice your mind drifting you can choose to either bring your attention softly back to the sound of my voice or simply continue to allow your mind to drift as you go deeper and deeper into this state of relaxation and healing sleep.

Are you ready to get started?

Okay it is the end of an amazing day and your mind and heart are full of the wonderful experiences you've enjoyed today.

The visit of the french market this morning in the little medieval village with its beautiful colorful organic fruit and vegetables,

The delicious healthy food you've enjoyed,

The meditation and yoga sessions,

Relaxing by the crystalline turquoise pool,

Sipping cool drinks.

There is literally nothing you'd change about this day,

It was perfect.

Now I don't know if you're traveling alone and enjoying the company of the like-spirited souls you've met on this amazing trip or if you're traveling with someone you love and adore spending time with that's entirely up to you.

Either way you are feeling relaxed,

At ease,

Peaceful and you're looking forward to a restful night's sleep in that amazing comfy bed with the beautiful clean sheets that smell so good.

It's a warm summer evening late July and you're now enjoying a leisurely after-dinner walk along the country lanes heading back to the chateau where you're staying for this amazing retreat.

This week is exactly what you needed,

Your soul breathes easily and everything in this moment feels just right.

There is nowhere you'd rather be,

You're feeling so grateful for this experience,

For this moment,

For this life,

So grateful for it all.

The temperature feels perfect on your skin,

Your clothes are so comfortable,

This weather is divine and there's the lightest touch of a warm soft breeze.

There is some light birdsong and the breeze carries the sound of the cicadas singing their summer chorus.

You look up and see some light clouds that look like they could almost have been added with a paintbrush across the deep blue sky.

Everything here is just so beautiful,

The air smells fresh and feels amazing with each conscious breath you take.

Every breath seems to take you deeper into presence and deeper into relaxation.

You keep walking and after a little way you come to the entrance of the chateau.

There are two large iron gates that look ancient and inviting.

The gates are open and you go through them walking down the short track that leads to the chateau.

This is a beautiful french renaissance chateau.

It's built in a pale colored stone and has a slate roof with a turret above the master bedroom where you're staying.

It's been beautifully restored and has clearly received a lot of loving care.

You love the energy of this place,

It somehow felt like home the minute you arrived.

The chateau is surrounded by golden fields and nature is literally on your doorstep.

You approach the large door at the entrance and it opens easily.

You walk into the chateau and enjoy the feel of this cooler air on your skin.

You breathe deeply,

Taking a moment to enjoy the feel of this incredible historical building.

You feel safe here,

You feel calm and resourced.

You notice in the entrance there is a large glass cooler of filtered water with lemon and mint and a few glasses.

You pour yourself a glass and drink this refreshing purified water.

You wonder if you've ever tasted anything this good.

The cool fresh water seems to revitalize every cell,

Every atom of your body.

The walls of the chateau are decorated with beautiful artwork that you absolutely love.

The colors inspire you,

It is such a joy walking through this place.

There's a beautiful perfume in the air that seems to be a blend of some of your favorite essential oils.

And there is music playing just very softly.

You walk up the short flight of stairs to your room where you will relax,

Unwind and sleep blissfully as the perfect end to this wonderful day.

This chateau has eight rooms and you're staying in the most beautiful room with a gorgeous ensuite bathroom.

You think to yourself,

How funny that if you could have made this room exactly to your personal requirements,

If you'd have chosen the decor yourself,

You would have made it exactly like this.

You just love this room,

This room feels like you.

You have the feeling that somehow you were always meant to arrive at this room and this moment.

There's a bookcase in the room and for the first time an unusual looking book catches your attention.

What is that book?

It doesn't look like the other books,

There's something different about it.

Has that book always been there?

You go to the shelf and take out this unusual looking book.

The spine is handwritten in gold letters but you can't make out the words.

As you touch this book you can feel its energy,

Its magic.

You feel excited as you open the pages.

You realize that this is a notebook and all the pages are completely blank,

All except one.

The book appears to naturally fall open at one page.

On this one page,

Written in a beautiful ink script,

Are the following words.

Your future is more beautiful than you can even imagine.

As you read these magical words,

You feel a deep knowing that they are for you.

That you were always meant to receive these words right now at this time in your life.

Your future is more beautiful than you can even imagine.

You let the energy of the words wash over and through you and surround you with peace and joy and love.

Your future is more beautiful than you can even imagine.

You feel immense comfort on reading these words.

You just want to stay with them.

You just want to stay basking in this divine energy.

This week has been a fresh start for you.

Something magical is happening here.

Something amazing is happening here.

There is deep,

Powerful,

Healing transformation happening here.

And you feel it.

And you are easily allowing it to happen because it feels so good.

You just know that from now on you feel better and better.

You have beautiful clarity and a newfound awareness that you have been unknowingly holding yourself back in some ways from the abundance and goodness that wanted to flow into your life.

Something in your mindset was blocking it in the past.

A feeling of being unworthy perhaps or the wrong belief that what you wanted was not available to you.

But all that is changing now.

Changing in the most wonderful,

Empowering and healing way.

Any and all limitations are in the past now.

Because now you see clearly.

The only limits were in your mind.

And your mind is yours to change.

You are becoming more and more aligned with the real you.

The most authentic you.

And you're realizing more and more just how much you love this person.

How wonderful they are in every way.

How deserving they are of all the things they want from life.

You have a vision coming to mind of a closed door.

And behind that closed door is everything you have ever wanted.

Wonderful relationships with people you truly love.

Total financial freedom and abundance.

Perfect health.

The life of your dreams.

A life of passion and purpose infused with love and gratitude.

Love for your life.

Love for your body.

Love for who you are and the things you do.

Love for your friends and family.

Everything you've ever wanted and even some things you didn't know you wanted yet are lined up behind that door.

Ready to flow into your life with ease and grace.

And you are opening that door right now.

You're opening the door and letting everything in right now.

You are easily releasing any past resistance.

Any past pain.

And you're ready.

So ready to move into this beautiful future that you know is for you.

This future that is more beautiful than you can even imagine.

It's yours.

It's already done.

You're letting everything in now so easily.

And it feels wonderful to know that this abundance is for you.

Has always been for you.

Because there is more than enough for everyone.

And there always has been.

You place the magical notebook back where you found it at night and go and lie down on that wonderful comfortable bed.

As I count down from 10 to 1 you're feeling so tired now.

So good and so tired.

And you know that when you wake up in the morning something inside of you will have shifted.

And you are entering a new phase of your life.

The best part of your life.

And from now on you just know that it only gets better.

It only gets better.
