Good evening and welcome to tonight's sleep meditation.
I know it's really easy to spend most of our days caught up in the movement of life,
Carrying all those things we have responsibilities for,
Moving all the pieces to keep things moving along.
It can be easy to get lost in all of that and to forget who we truly are,
Feel disconnected to who we truly are,
Our true self.
So tonight,
As you rest your head on your pillow,
I give you this meditation that will help you awaken to your true self.
And all you have to do is close your eyes and surrender to the experience.
Tonight,
As the world fades into quiet,
You are not just drifting into sleep,
You are returning home to the essence of who you truly are.
Beneath the layers of your day,
Beyond the noise of your thoughts,
There is a part of you that is steady,
Unchanging,
Ever-present,
Your true self,
Waiting to be seen,
Waiting to be felt.
Tonight,
You allow yourself to reconnect with this deepest part of you,
This truest version of you.
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Feel the weight of the day begin to dissolve.
Let your body soften.
Let your mind clear.
There is nothing left to do,
Nothing left to prove.
This is your time to be,
To let go,
To rest in the fullness of who you are.
Feel the gentle rise and fall of your breath,
Steady and calm.
With each breath,
You are peeling back the layers,
Shutting the expectations,
The labels,
And the stories.
You are coming closer to the heart of yourself,
To the quiet knowing that lives so beautifully within you.
This is where your true self resides,
In this space of stillness,
In this space of pure being.
Let your awareness drift to your body,
To your body,
Starting at your feet.
Feel them relax and release.
Let this relaxation move up through your legs,
Softening your muscles,
Easing any tension.
You don't need to hold on to anything right now.
You are safe to let go,
Safe to rest,
Safe to rest.
Feel the calm move through your hips,
Your lower back,
Releasing any tightness,
Any discomfort.
Your body is settling,
Sinking deeper into the comfort of this moment.
With each breath,
You are opening to the truth of who you are,
To the stillness that carries you home.
As your chest rises and falls,
Feel your heart center,
Calm and open.
Here,
In this quiet space,
You are reconnected with your essence,
The part of you that is untouched by fear and unmoved by doubt.
Feel the warmth of your true self expanding from within.
Feeling your entire body with peace and calm.
Feel the calm flowing through your shoulders,
Your arms,
Releasing any tension,
Any weight.
You are becoming lighter,
More at ease.
There is no rush,
No need to strive.
You are exactly where you need to be right now,
In the presence of your true self.
As your mind continues to quiet,
As your body continues to rest,
Know that you are awakening,
Even in this stillness.
You are awakening to the fullness of who you are,
To the wisdom that lives within you,
To the wisdom that guides you.
Your true self is always here,
Always guiding you,
Even as you sleep.
Let go,
Dear one,
And rest deeply in the knowledge that you are enough,
Just as you are.
Sleep well,
And awaken to your true self,
Here in the quiet of the night,
And into the light of tomorrow.
Rest well,
And know who you truly are.
Namaste,
Beautiful.
