Good evening and welcome.
I'm so grateful you're here with me for this sleep meditation.
An overactive mind is 90% of why I have trouble falling asleep and why I've heard so many of you have had trouble falling asleep.
Thinking about all the things that you need to do,
Thinking about any upcoming events or things that might be going on in your life.
So this meditation is here for you when your mind is just moving,
Moving,
Moving,
So you can help calm it,
Clear it,
Come into your body and ease into deep sleep.
I know you've been carrying the weight of the day in your mind,
Thoughts moving like restless winds through the corridors of your consciousness.
But now it's time to soften those winds and let the edges of your mind dissolve into stillness so you can allow the night to wrap its tender arms around you.
Feel yourself being held in this moment as if the world itself has paused,
Waiting for you to breathe.
Take a slow,
Gentle breath in,
And with your exhale,
Imagine the thoughts you've been holding,
Loosening their grip.
You feel your body begin to relax in this space.
Breathe into this moment where there's no need to rush,
No need to solve anything.
You are here,
Held by the quiet of the night.
Take another breath in,
But this time,
Feel it as more than just air.
Feel it as a wave,
A gentle tide that moves into every corner of you,
Soothing,
Soothing,
Softening,
Quieting the noise inside.
And as you exhale,
Imagine the tide pulling away all the scattered thoughts,
Washing them out into the vastness of the night.
Now,
Let your breath find its own easy rhythm,
A soft lullaby that rocks you deeper into peace.
Your mind has been moving,
Pacing,
Trying to stay ahead of the world.
But now,
It's safe to slow down.
Now,
Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a serene ocean.
The night sky stretches above you,
Reflecting off the calm waters below.
The sea is vast,
Its horizon blending with the stars.
Feel the soft sand beneath your feet,
Cool and grounding,
As the gentle waves lap against the shore in a rhythmic,
Soothing pattern.
With each step,
You move closer to the water's edge,
The ocean breeze rushing gently across your skin.
Carrying away any lingering tension.
As you stand at the water's edge,
Feel the coolness of the sea wash over your feet,
Each wave pulling away the weight of the day,
Drawing it back into the vastness of the ocean.
The water reflects the stillness of the night,
And with every breath you take,
You mirror that stillness.
Your mind grows quiet,
And your thoughts dissolve into the endless horizon.
Let the soft sound of the waves lull you deeper into peace,
As each one rises and falls effortlessly.
There is nothing to hold onto,
Nothing left to carry,
Just the rhythmic pull of the water.
Inviting you to let go.
The sky above is endless,
Its stars twinkling like quiet reminders of the openness around you.
Your thoughts,
Once so heavy,
Are like the stars scattered in the distance.
You don't need to chase them,
You don't need to grasp them.
Simply watch as they sparkle and fade,
Becoming one with the quiet night.
You are standing at the meeting point of sky and sea,
Where the ocean's waves and the night's stars move in perfect harmony.
Feel your body become lighter,
Your mind expanding into the open sky,
Becoming fast,
Limitless.
With each breath,
The gentle waves draw you into deeper calm,
Like a soft,
Rocking lullaby,
Carrying you toward rest.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
Feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
With each exhale,
You release more,
Surrendering to the soft rhythm of the ocean.
Your body is floating now,
Suspended between the stars and the sea,
Carried by the quiet of the night.
Feel the peace settling even deeper within you,
The gentle water rocking you closer and closer to the sea.
With each breath,
The gentle waves draw you into deeper calm,
Like a soft,
Rocking lullaby,
Carrying you toward rest.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
With each exhale,
You release more,
Surrendering to the soft rhythm of the ocean.
Feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
Breathe in deeply,
And feel the air wrap around you like a blanket of peace.
