Hello and good evening.
I'm so grateful you're here.
We've been getting a lot of requests for meditations that could help you calm your nervous system,
So I hope this one really helps and allows you to ease into sleep.
Here in the quiet space,
You are safe to unwind,
To let go.
Feel the gentle rise of your chest as you breathe in,
And the softness as you exhale.
Allow each breath to loosen the tension,
To soften the tightness in your body.
Notice how with each exhale,
You release just a little more,
Falling deeper into the comfort of your bed.
And let the day fall behind you now.
Let all that weighs heavy be released.
As your body relaxes,
Bring your attention to your nervous system.
Imagine this delicate network that has carried you through the day.
Imagine it now like a bundle of cords,
Gently buzzing with energy.
And as you breathe,
Feel the buzzing begin to fade,
Slowly untangling,
Loosening,
Smoothing out.
See the tension unwind in your muscles.
Feel the nerves soften with each breath.
As your body begins to find its natural rhythm of peace,
Your shoulders drop,
Your jaw unclenches,
Your hands and feet grow heavy.
All held in a gentle embrace of rest.
Now visualize a soft golden light above you.
It's warm and comforting.
And as it touches your skin,
It brings a deep,
Soothing calm to every part of you.
Feel it move down from the top of your head,
Smoothing your forehead,
Relaxing your eyes.
Softening your neck and shoulders.
This light continues down,
Bringing peace to your chest,
Your stomach,
Your legs and feet.
Until your entire body is wrapped in this gentle blow.
As the light surrounds you,
It soothes your nervous system,
Calming every nerve,
Every muscle,
Releasing the stress that's been stored.
Feel the calmness settle in,
Like waves gently lapping at the shore,
Easing you into a state of deep relaxation.
There is nothing you need to do now.
Know where you need to be.
Let yourself float in this calm,
Knowing that your body is healing,
That your mind is unwinding.
And your nervous system is resetting itself,
Preparing you for the deep,
Restful sleep you deserve.
Breathe in slowly,
Breathe out slowly.
And as you exhale,
Feel any last bits of tension dissolve,
Drifting away into the night.
Allow yourself to fall deeper into the quiet,
Soothing space where peace surrounds you and stress no longer exists.
Your nerves are calm.
Sleep now.
And rest easy.
And know that when you wake,
You will feel refreshed and restored.
Namaste,
Beautiful.
