Transcript

Hello and welcome to this meditation to help you connect with your breath for a deeper and peaceful sleep.

Get into a comfortable position and let's begin.

Let's begin with both of your hands on your stomach.

As you place your hands on your stomach,

Breathe in by forcing as much air in your stomach and notice your hands go apart.

And then breathe out normally and notice your hands are coming back together.

Breathe in and breathe out.

Feel the movement of cool air through your nose as you breathe in and warm air as you breathe out through your mouth.

Feel your hands move along with your belly.

Continue to focus on your breathing.

As you use your stomach to breathe,

You are communicating with your brain through your vagus nerve that everything is okay and that your body is truly ready to relax.

Breathe in and breathe out.

As you relax your hands on your stomach,

It is as though to say,

I am here,

I am safe and I am ready for a rejuvenating sleep.

Breathe in and breathe out.

You are going to notice that when you breathe in and force as much air in the stomach,

It feels as if it's exaggerated and that's okay.

And then each time you breathe out normally,

You feel a deeper relaxation.

Breathe in and breathe out.

You are alternating between exaggerated inhalation and normal but longer and relaxed exhalation which restores your most relaxed breathing patterns.

Breathe in and breathe out.

Notice how you are connecting with your most peaceful and relaxed side of you.

Breathe in and breathe out.

Make yourself comfortable.

Continue to focus on your breathing.

Your sleep is going to begin shortly.

Breathe in and breathe out.

Continue to relax.

Relax some more.

Enjoy this intimate moment with your breath.

Relax and sleep healthy my friend.
