Hello,
This is Carrie.
I'd like for you to get comfortable now,
Lying back and imagine yourself out in nature.
You're at the ocean and you're exploring the rock pools.
You can hear those gentle ocean waves and you find a rock to sit on and to just dangle your feet into the water.
The water is cool and refreshing.
But all your daily worries just float away and you rest your feet,
Your toes,
Your ankles in the cool,
Refreshing water.
You rest here so quiet,
So still that you realize your body is softly sinking.
Tension floating away.
So relaxed and comfortable that any and all external experiences begin to melt away,
Becoming less and less aware of even my voice.
Aware of this inner voice that guides you,
Directs you into the most perfect sleep tonight,
Becoming less and less aware now of the hips and torso,
A feeling of no feeling,
The body drifting into sleep,
The chest rising and falling,
The neck and head area melting away,
Becoming less and less aware of the body and more and more aware of your mind.
And if you feel any discomfort,
You can breathe into it,
Filling it with relief,
Filling it with love,
Filling it with compassion for self,
Promptly remembering to forget about the discomfort,
Relaxing so deeply,
Drifting into relaxing sleep now.
Slowly forgetting,
Slowly becoming less and less aware of the hands and the feet,
A feeling of no feeling,
The feeling of no feeling enters into the mind,
A feeling of letting go of your physical body.
You are becoming more and more aware of your mental body,
A mental body that is free from discomfort,
A mental body that dissipates the pain,
A mental body that is limitless.
My body is so calm.
My body is so peaceful.
My body easily softens.
My body can relax easily.
I feel content with my body.
My mind so sleepy.
Any sensations or feelings are just gone,
Gone from my thoughts,
Gone from my body's awareness,
A feeling of no feeling now.
As I drift off to sleep,
Turning off all the switches within my body,
All the switches are already off,
All sensations floating away,
Turning off the discomfort now,
All feelings of discomfort are already turned off,
Neutralized.
The legs slowly dissolve.
The arms so heavy.
I switch off all bodily sensations as I peacefully melt away.
All these words wash over me like those gentle waves,
So gentle,
So soft and soothing.
I comfortably melt away.
I feel my body slowly dissolving.
I feel the tension slowly dissipating.
Comfortable arms.
Comfortable belly.
Comfortable back.
Comfortable legs.
All parts of me so comfortable.
A feeling of no feeling.
I am free.
I am absolutely,
Positively free.
So free from the sensations.
I can sleep so peacefully now.
I will sleep so deeply now.
I drift into the deepest state of sleep.
All feelings of no feelings.
As I flip the switches to off on all sensations and I enter into sleep.
Body resting.
There's no longer any reason for you to try to keep up.
It's too much work.
So you just trust and let go.
Deep,
Restful,
Relaxing sleep.
That's it.
Sound sleep.
