Hi,
This is Kim here,
Welcoming you to this meditation that is designed to help you slow down,
Relax and drift into sleep.
It is a meditation where you can take a retreat from the outside world and drift into a deep and restorative sleep.
.
.
.
To awake in the morning only at a time that you set for yourself.
.
.
.
Feeling positive,
Peaceful and enthusiastic.
This recording should be listened to as you are going to sleep.
It is possible that you will fall asleep very soon into listening and this is perfectly safe.
Should you need to wake during the night for any reason,
You will do so.
Attend to whatever needs attending and return to bed.
Just by bringing your attention to your body,
You will fall easily back to sleep.
So,
Lying in your bed,
Preferably on your back,
With your legs uncrossed and your arms resting lightly at your sides.
.
.
.
There is absolutely nothing that you need to do.
.
.
.
Just lie back and listen.
.
.
.
So that your mind,
Body and spirit may be transported safely and serenely to a place of inner peace,
Bliss and tranquillity.
So when you are ready,
Take a deep breath in.
.
.
.
.
And as you breathe out,
Close your eyes and begin to relax.
.
.
.
Bringing your attention to the sounds you can hear.
.
.
.
The sound of the music.
.
.
.
The sound of my voice.
.
.
.
So that each and every sound you hear helps you to relax deeper and deeper down.
.
.
.
A sense of well-being and serenity.
.
.
.
Filling your mind and your body.
.
.
.
Perhaps even noticing the silence between the words.
.
.
.
The quietness under the sounds.
.
.
.
And as you notice this deeper peace and stillness that always exists in the background of your awareness.
.
.
.
You are turning down the volume on your thoughts.
.
.
.
Turning down the volume on all activity.
.
.
.
To perceive the peace,
Stillness and tranquillity of your innate intelligence.
.
.
.
The part of you that is always there.
.
.
.
Observing with openness and inquisitiveness.
.
.
.
The silent intelligence of your being.
.
.
.
Feeling quieter and quieter still.
.
.
.
Letting go.
.
.
.
To be aware of your body sinking more deeply into your bed.
.
.
.
Feeling so comfortable.
.
.
.
Relaxed.
.
.
.
Content.
.
.
.
And in your mind's eye now.
.
.
.
You see yourself walking through a snowy landscape.
.
.
.
You are clothed in the warmest,
Most comfortable clothes.
.
.
.
And the snow is falling softly.
.
.
.
Gently down.
.
.
.
Laying a silent blanket of snow on the ground.
.
.
.
And as you walk through the quiet,
Falling snow.
.
.
.
You can hear the soft crunch of the snow beneath your feet.
.
.
.
And you are aware of the lightest of snowflakes landing gently on your face.
.
.
.
The silent peace of the snowy landscape.
.
.
.
The calming movement of the falling snow.
.
.
.
All these things helping you to feel deeper and deeper relaxed.
.
.
.
More peaceful than you have ever known before.
.
.
.
And as you are walking through the falling snow.
.
.
.
You notice that everything around you starts to slow down.
.
.
.
Life being set in slow motion.
.
.
.
The snowflakes moving now slowly through the air about you.
.
.
.
Softly.
.
.
.
Gently.
.
.
.
Floating through the air.
.
.
.
Thousands of snowflakes.
.
.
.
Like feathers.
.
.
.
Because time itself has slowed down in this magical,
Beautiful place.
.
.
.
Looking about you.
.
.
.
You see that the trees.
.
.
.
The movement of the branches.
.
.
.
The snow falling from the branches.
.
.
.
Everything is moving in slow motion.
.
.
.
The whole scene.
.
.
.
So very peaceful and quiet.
.
.
.
Slower and slower.
.
.
.
As you continue to walk.
.
.
.
Each step going deeper and deeper.
.
.
.
Letting go.
.
.
.
Each step you take completely silent now.
.
.
.
As the snowflakes float so lightly and softly through the air.
.
.
.
And you reach out with both of your gloved hands in front of you.
.
.
.
To allow one slowly falling snowflake to land softly in the palm of your glove.
.
.
.
As the other snowflakes continue to float lightly and slowly through the air about you.
.
.
.
And just ahead of you now there is a forest with a path that is lighted with flickering candles.
.
.
.
So continuing to walk slowly towards the forest.
.
.
.
You enter on the path.
.
.
.
Aware that this path is taking you deeper down into your subconscious mind.
.
.
.
You are safe and secure.
.
.
.
Feeling a sense of deep peace and tranquility.
.
.
.
You walk along the lighted path.
.
.
.
The forest blanketed in snow has a magical quality.
.
.
.
A beautiful serenity and silence.
.
.
.
Like nothing you have experienced before.
.
.
.
And as you continue to walk slowly and lazily down this path.
.
.
.
I will count your footsteps down from 10.
.
.
.
And with each step you feel more and more relaxed.
.
.
.
Filled with a sense of well being and light.
.
.
.
On 10.
.
.
.
Slower and slower.

1.
.
.
.
All the way down.
.
.
.
Deep into the heart of the forest.
.
.
.
And knowing always that you are held by the loving kindness.
.
.
.
The protection of nature and of the universe.
.
.
.
And just ahead of you now.
.
.
.
You notice that the path widens.
.
.
.
And you see a large snow sleigh.
.
.
.
And it's covered in pillows and blankets.
.
.
.
So deciding to climb into this magical sleigh.
.
.
.
Making yourself comfortable.
.
.
.
Maybe even pulling the soft blankets over you.
.
.
.
Feeling a deep sensation of easiness.
.
.
.
Comfort.
.
.
.
Warmth.
.
.
.
And contentment.
.
.
.
You notice how very sleepy you are feeling.
.
.
.
And this magical sleigh begins to move slowly.
.
.
.
Moving on its own.
.
.
.
To take you down into sleep.
.
.
.
It moves easily across the snow.
.
.
.
Along the lighted path through the forest.
.
.
.
The movement of the sleigh.
.
.
.
The comfortable feel of the pillows and blankets.
.
.
.
All these things making you feel so sleepy.
.
.
.
And as you lie there content and relaxed.
.
.
.
I will guide your attention slowly down your body.
.
.
.
From the top of your head.
.
.
.
To the tips of your toes.
.
.
.
And as your attention travels over your body.
.
.
.
You feel that part of yourself relax even more deeply.
.
.
.
Allowing a deeper sense of ease and bliss to course over your body.
.
.
.
Through your mind.
.
.
.
Drifting quieter and quieter still.
.
.
.
So beginning now at the top of your head.
.
.
.
Your attention travels slowly.
.
.
.
Lightly down to your forehead.
.
.
.
Allowing those muscles to ease and relax.
.
.
.
As a gentle balm of your attention travels over.
.
.
.
Feeling soothed and calmed.
.
.
.
Softly now over your eyes.
.
.
.
Down your cheeks.
.
.
.
To your jaw.
.
.
.
So that you part your teeth just a little.
.
.
.
Being so relaxed.
.
.
.
Tranquil and content.
.
.
.
Soft.
.
.
.
Light.
.
.
.
Serene.
.
.
.
As your attention travels down the back of your neck.
.
.
.
It slowly across your shoulders.
.
.
.
Letting go.
.
.
.
Deeper and deeper relaxed.
.
.
.
Your body sinking more deeply down into your bed.
.
.
.
As your awareness.
.
.
.
The soft touch of your attention.
.
.
.
Now travel slowly down your arms.
.
.
.
To your hands.
.
.
.
All the way down to your fingertips.
.
.
.
Bringing your attention now.
.
.
.
The relaxation continues to travel across your upper back.
.
.
.
And slowly down.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
All the way down to your lower back.
.
.
.
Your mind.
.
.
.
Your body.
.
.
.
Floating down the deeper levels of relaxation and contentment than you have ever known before.
.
.
.
Breathing in.
.
.
.
And slowly out.
.
.
.
Your attention.
.
.
.
The sense of serenity and calm.
.
.
.
Now travels across your chest.
.
.
.
And lightly down to your tummy.
.
.
.
Breathing down to your genitals.
.
.
.
Your buttocks.
.
.
.
Down to your legs.
.
.
.
Thighs.
.
.
.
Knees.
.
.
.
Carves.
.
.
And calves.
.
.
.
All the way down to your feet.
.
.
.
To the very tips of your toes.
.
.
.
Sinking deeper and deeper down into your bed.
.
.
.
Quiet.
.
.
.
Peaceful.
.
.
.
And a sleigh continues its journey to the land of your dreams.
.
.
.
Moving with ease and comfort through the snowy landscape.
.
.
.
Keeping you warm and protected.
.
.
.
Journeying through the night.
.
.
.
The large conifers lining this path are covered in snow.
.
.
.
And the path begins to descend through the forest.
.
.
.
Into the valley below.
.
.
.
The gentle movement of the sleigh.
.
.
.
The comfort of your blankets and pillows.
.
.
.
Only making you feel more and more sleepy.
.
.
.
Sinking deeper and deeper down.
.
.
.
As the sleigh makes its slow descent into the forest valley.
.
.
.
I will count down from 10 to 1.
.
.
.
And with each descending number.
.
.
.
You feel more and more relaxed.
.
.
.
Drifting down into sleep.
.
.
.
To enter the realm of your dreams.
.
.
.
So content.
.
.
.
And tranquil.
.
.
.
Letting go as you allow yourself to be enveloped with love and kindness.
.
.
.
Into sleep.
.
.
.
More and more relaxed.
.
.
.
On 10.
.
.
.
Aware of your body.
.
.
.
Feeling heavy and serene.
.
.
.
Sinking deeper down into your bed.
.
.
.

.
.
.
More relaxed and content than you have ever felt before.
.
.
.
8.
.
.
Journeying into slumber.
.
.
.
7.
.
.
.
Your body feeling so still.
.
.
.
Your mind quiet and peaceful.
.
.
.

.
.
.
And again.

.
.
1.
.
.
It's very relaxed now.
.
.
.
Quieter.
.
.
.
And quieter.
.
.
.
And again.
.
.
And quieter.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And again a soothing wave of ease and tranquillity sweeps gently down your body.
.
.
.
From the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
.
.
.
So your body feels even more relaxed and sleepy.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The relaxation,
The ease and contentment travels slowly down from the top of your head to your forehead.
.
.
.
Softly down to your eyes.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Letting go of all those muscles as the wave of relaxation as your gentle awareness travels over.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Moving down your face.
.
.
.
Your cheeks.
.
.
.
To your jaw.
.
.
.
Parting your teeth just a little.
.
.
.
And allowing the sensation of ease and rest to continue to travel down your body.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Moving on slowly down the back of your neck.
.
.
.
And gently across your shoulders.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Surrendering to contentment and peace.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Softly down your arms.
.
.
.
To your hands.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to the tips of your fingers.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Sinking deeper and deeper down into your bed.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Lightly across your upper back.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Rolling down.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to your lower back.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Feeling soothed and caressed as your attention travels over your body.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Across your chest.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And softly down to your tummy.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Down to your legs.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your thighs.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your knees.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Carbs.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ankles.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Feet.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to the tips of your toes.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your body feeling so blissfully relaxed and happy.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And the sleigh has now brought you into the depths of the snowy valley.
.
.
.
Deep into the forest.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Feeling sleepier and sleepier.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Continuing your journey into your dreams.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Looking ahead.
.
.
.
Down the path that leads through the forest.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The view is blurred.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
It's like looking through an unfocused lens.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And this large blurred area before you.
.
.
.
Is a portal that will take you deeper into your subconscious mind.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You are safe and protected.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Looking forward to discovering where the portal leads.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So feel.
.
.
.
See yourself now.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
As the sleigh moves through the portal.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All about you.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Becoming visually unclear.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Like looking through frosted glass.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
There are lights.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Distant sounds.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All the while you are feeling completely at ease and safe.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And as you go beyond the portal.
.
.
.
You become aware that the sleigh is slowly turning.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And as it turns.
.
.
.
It begins to rise lightly into the air.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Spiralling and rising slowly into the night time sky.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Still feeling cosy and safe.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Protected from the elements.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The sensation of the upward spiral.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Making you feel even more relaxed and sleepy.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And as the sleigh makes its ascent.
.
.
.
You are aware of another wave of relaxation travelling down your body.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
To experience the soothing waves of peace and wellbeing sweeping down your entire body.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Feeling that gentle wave of relaxation flowing slowly down from the top of your head.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
To your forehead.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Swaying over your eyes.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Letting go to deeper and deeper levels of relaxation than you have ever known before.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Gently down your cheeks.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
To your jaw.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Aware of all your muscles.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Feeling soothed and relaxed.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Going slowly down the back of your neck.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Gently across your shoulders.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So quiet.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So present to this moment only.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
How beautiful this feels.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Continuing to experience.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
To feel the peace as it moves on softly down your arms.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
To your hands.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to the tips of your fingers.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Across your other back.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And lightly down.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to your lower back.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Across your chest.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And slowly.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Softly on down to your tummy.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The sensations of comfort and ease.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The bliss of just being.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Flowing down to your chest.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your thighs.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your knees.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your calves.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your ankles.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your feet.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to the tips of your toes.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your body.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Your mind.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Sinking deeper and deeper down.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Soothed and calm.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The sleigh is now flying through the night time sky.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The stars above twinkling and glittering in the deep black sky.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All the while you remain the perfect temperature.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Feeling safe and comfortable.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Drifting into sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The sleigh flying across fields and rivers.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Mountains.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Great stretches of countryside.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Towns and houses.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The sleigh gradually begins to descend.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And as it glides down.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I will count down slowly from 10 to 1.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
With each descending number.
.
.
.
You feel yourself sinking deeper and deeper down into your bed.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
With each descending number.
.
.
.
You feel sleepier and sleepier.
.
.
.
On 10.

3 2 1 So very relaxed now.
Journeying into sleep and dreams.
To perceive in your dream state your higher consciousness.
The place within where you harness the insight to persevere.
To face all challenges with strength and compassion.
To believe and know your true nature more deeply.
Your original self.
The self that existed before thought.
Before judgement.
To understand that you have with you at all times bountiful reserves of creativity,
Wellbeing,
Intelligence,
Courage and kindness.
You are a child of the universe.
Continuing to allow your body to relax more deeply.
Mind,
Body,
Emotions.
Feeling tranquil.
Still.
And soothed.
For a final time,
You allow your attention,
Your awareness to bring a deeper sense of ease and contentment to your body.
As your attention travels over.
Relaxing deeper and deeper down.
To dream.
To let go.
And enter a beautiful state of peace and sleep.
Travelling down from the top of your head.
Slowly down to your forehead.
And gently over your eyes.
Aware of feeling more tranquil than you have ever felt before.
Continuing softly down your face,
Your cheeks,
To your jaw.
Your muscles feeling loose and relaxed as your awareness travels over.
Slowly down the back of your neck and gently across your shoulders.
Letting go.
Deeper and deeper down.
Softly down your arms,
To your hands,
To your fingertips.
Your body sinking deeper down into your bed.
Your mind still and serene.
Lightly across your upper back.
Continuing down.
Down.
Down.
All the way down to your lower back.
Softly now across your chest and down to your tummy.
To your legs,
Your thighs,
Your knees,
Your calves,
Your ankles,
To your feet.
All the way down to the tips of your toes.
Your entire body bathed in peace and serenity.
Drifting easily down into sleep.
Deeper and deeper down into sleep now.
The rhythm of sleep envelops you.
Transporting you to the world of your dreams.
Softly.
Gently.
So very,
Very content as you drift on down into sleep.

Thankyou Kim. That meditation really helped me tonight. Just lately I've been struggling with my mental. So doing these meditations really do help with that. It helps to take my mind away for a few hours in the hope that I will be feeling better the next day. It sometimes works. Ut sometimes after sleeping I wake up still feeling tired and sleepy like perhaps I've not had enough sleep. But more than likely I have. It's probably my body and mind playing tricks on me.
