Guided Sleep Meditation to Love Your Body Just As It Is
If you're reading this, chances are your body has been starved, overfed, rejected, ignored, shamed and hurt. It has probably also loved and been loved. It has been sensual, erotic, energised, blissful and happy. It has laughed, cried, felt sadness, pain, loss and joy. You can decide to embrace and love your body (just as it is). It's the most amazing thing you'll ever own.

Welcoming you to this meditation which is designed to encourage acceptance.
.
.
.
.
Appreciation.
.
.
.
.
And love for your body.
.
.
.
.
Just as it is.
.
.
.
.
This meditation should be listened to as you are going to sleep.
.
.
.
.
Preferably lying on your back.
.
.
.
.
With your legs uncrossed.
.
.
.
.
And your arms resting lightly at your sides.
.
.
.
.
It should not be listened to while you are driving,
Operating machinery or in any place of responsibility for the wellbeing of yourself or others.
This meditation will guide you into sleep.
It is perfectly fine should you fall asleep before the end of the recording.
.
.
.
.
Your mind is still open to the positive suggestions.
.
.
.
.
And you will find that you sleep deeply throughout the night.
.
.
.
.
And awake in the morning only at a time that you set for yourself.
.
.
.
.
Feeling re-energised and optimistic.
.
.
.
.
With a clear sense of loving kindness,
Patience,
Respect and appreciation for your body.
.
.
.
So when you are ready.
.
.
.
.
Take a deep breath in.
.
.
.
.
And as you breathe out.
.
.
.
.
Close your eyes.
.
.
.
.
And begin to relax.
.
.
.
.
There is absolutely nothing that you need to do.
.
.
.
.
Just lie back.
.
.
.
.
And listen.
.
.
.
.
Allowing the sound of the music to soothe and calm you.
.
.
.
.
The sound of my voice.
.
.
.
.
Helping to relax your body.
.
.
.
.
And quiet your mind.
.
.
.
.
Taking this time.
.
.
.
.
Before you drift into sleep.
.
.
.
.
To connect with your intuitive wisdom.
.
.
.
.
The innate intelligence that knows already the joy and contentment of being you.
.
.
.
.
And knowing a deep peace and tranquillity that is always with you.
.
.
.
.
A part of you that resides silently within.
.
.
.
.
The still point of your being.
.
.
.
.
A space inside that exists beyond your thoughts and beliefs.
.
.
.
.
Beyond your conditioned mind.
.
.
.
.
A place within that's free of opinions and expectations.
.
.
.
.
So in your imagination now.
.
.
.
.
You can see yourself standing in a beautiful garden at twilight.
.
.
.
.
And looking before you.
.
.
.
.
You see that the colours of the garden are unusually vivid.
.
.
.
.
There is a wonderful atmosphere that is a mixture of vibrancy and tranquillity.
.
.
.
.
The sun is setting behind you and the last rays of the sun radiate across the garden.
.
.
.
Casting a beautiful amber golden light.
.
.
.
.
Further highlighting the magic of the special place.
.
.
.
You can hear water from the water fountain.
.
.
.
Lightly tinkling and gurgling.
.
.
.
And you can see and hear small birds flitting across the lawn and in the sky above you.
.
.
.
You are filled with a deep sense of wellbeing and contentment.
.
.
.
Bear of your connection to this magical garden.
.
.
.
A place of tranquillity.
.
.
.
.
Peace.
.
.
.
Serenity.
.
.
.
And as the sun sets and the sky turns a deep blue velvet.
.
.
.
You notice a new shimmering quality to the atmosphere of the garden.
.
.
.
Gradually.
.
.
.
.
Gradually.
.
.
.
Coming more to life.
.
.
.
It's as if the night has clothed this magical garden in new shades and colours.
.
.
.
So that there is a luminous glowing feature to the plants and the trees.
.
.
.
So though it is still obviously night time.
.
.
.
You are aware of a soft radiance of light and colour emanating gently from all the flowers and trees in this garden.
.
.
.
You have a sense of seeing.
.
.
.
Experiencing this gardens true beauty and wonder.
.
.
.
And just ahead of you are some large stone steps that lead you down into another part of the garden.
.
.
.
You walk languidly and slowly towards the steps.
.
.
.
And in a moment.
.
.
.
I will begin counting the steps down.
.
.
.
And with each step down.
.
.
.
You can feel your body relax more deeply.
.
.
.
And sink deeper down into your bed.
.
.
.
Your mind experiencing a sense of letting go.
.
.
.
To feel blissful tranquillity and contentment.
.
.
.
On ten.
.
.
.
Quiet.
.
.
.
Serene.
.
.
.
Happy.
.
.
.
Nine.
.
.
.
Deeper down.
.
.
.
Eight.
.
.
.
How good it feels to just let go.
.
.
.
Seven.
.
.
.
To see.
.
.
.
To know.
.
.
.
And experience the beauty of you.
.
.
.
Six.
.
.
.
Tuning into your inner voice.
.
.
.
Five.
.
.
.
Four.
.
.
.
Three.
.
.
.
Two one.
.
.
.
All the way down.
.
.
.
So quiet and still.
.
.
.
You find yourself in another part of this special garden.
.
.
.
And although it is night time.
.
.
.
There is a vibrance and glow that you have never experienced before.
.
.
.
So you continue to walk slowly through this beautiful garden.
.
.
.
Listening to the sounds of the crickets and the water fountain.
.
.
.
Still tinkling softly in the distance.
.
.
.
Each step feeling more relaxed.
.
.
.
And tranquil.
.
.
.
Sensing your connection with nature.
.
.
.
And the beauty of this magical garden.
.
.
.
A place of no thought.
.
.
.
Its delight and wonder just is.
.
.
.
You can feel.
.
.
.
Sense.
.
.
.
Experience its deep happiness and joy in just being.
.
.
.
Each flower.
.
.
.
Each blossom.
.
.
.
Green happily and contentedly.
.
.
.
Just as it is.
.
.
.
There is a vast array of flowers and shrubs.
.
.
.
You can see lavender and irises.
.
.
.
There are daisies.
.
.
.
Honey succor.
.
.
.
Hydrangeas.
.
.
.
Roses.
.
.
.
Violets.
.
.
.
Jasmine.
.
.
.
And many more besides.
.
.
.
You are aware of the qualities of each.
.
.
.
Growing and radiating with strength and beauty.
.
.
.
That is individual to that flower or shrub.
.
.
.
So continuing to walk through this special garden.
.
.
.
A garden that is here to help heal and strengthen your perception of your body.
.
.
.
You see at the centre of open grass before you.
.
.
.
A flurry of softly glowing lights.
.
.
.
Walking towards the spectacle.
.
.
.
You notice that it is made up of lots of gently shimmering fireflies.
.
.
.
They are darting this way and that.
.
.
.
And in a mist.
.
.
.
The soft spell of their lights.
.
.
.
They are building a statue.
.
.
.
A life-size statue of you.
.
.
.
You see the shape of you carved in marble stone.
.
.
.
So allow your subconscious mind to form the image of this statue now.
.
.
.
In your mind's eye.
.
.
.
Perhaps you are naked.
.
.
.
Perhaps you are posing like a classical statue.
.
.
.
Or maybe something more contemporary.
.
.
.
Take your time.
.
.
.
And allow this image to form.
.
.
.
It's like seeing yourself for the very first time.
.
.
.
Noticing your own individual qualities.
.
.
.
In the physical form of this statue.
.
.
.
Everything about you shines with strength.
.
.
.
With wisdom.
.
.
.
Courage.
.
.
.
And loving kindness.
.
.
.
You feel.
.
.
.
.
See.
.
.
.
Sense how your life radiates through your own body.
.
.
.
And it is this beauty and true nature that you feel flowing more deeply with you.
.
.
.
As you drift into sleep.
.
.
.
And in your everyday waking state.
.
.
.
You touch.
.
.
.
You know.
.
.
.
You see.
.
.
.
You listen to this part of you.
.
.
.
So that you focus more on what is positive and helpful to your mind.
.
.
.
Positive and helpful to your body and your emotions.
.
.
.
Appreciating your body with gentleness and kindness.
.
.
.
So that you experience a deep respect for your body just as it is.
.
.
.
You are imperfectly perfect.
.
.
.
And this renewed respect for your body continues to help you in many positive ways.
.
.
.
You notice yourself being more patient.
.
.
.
Tender.
.
.
.
And courteous to your body.
.
.
.
To your emotions.
.
.
.
And as you do this.
.
.
.
The comfort.
.
.
.
And easiness that you feel in your skin.
.
.
.
In your body.
.
.
.
Flows into your actions with others.
.
.
.
And frees you to enjoy more fully the life that you are.
.
.
.
Pursuing activities that you have always wanted to do.
.
.
.
Because you realise that this is what your body is really for.
.
.
.
To enjoy and perceive the present moment.
.
.
.
Using all of your senses more acutely.
.
.
.
So that you feel as if you have awakened to each and every moment.
.
.
.
With focus.
.
.
.
And tranquillity.
.
.
.
Tuning in throughout the day to your senses of sight.
.
.
.
And of sound.
.
.
.
Touch.
.
.
.
Taste.
.
.
.
And smell.
.
.
.
You notice a sense of presence.
.
.
.
Of awareness to this moment.
.
.
.
With clarity.
.
.
.
Kindness.
.
.
.
Wisdom.
.
.
.
And love.
.
.
.
The more you love life.
.
.
.
The more life loves you.
.
.
.
And this is always experienced in the here.
.
.
.
In the now.
.
.
.
In your body and your mind.
.
.
.
Connected.
.
.
.
And in harmony.
.
.
.
So continue to relax now.
.
.
.
And now.
.
.
.
As I guide your attention over your body.
.
.
.
Allowing the soft sensation of your awareness to bring greater peace.
.
.
.
Contentment.
.
.
.
And appreciation to every part of your body.
.
.
.
Drifting easily now into a deep and restful sleep.
.
.
.
To open more naturally to the enjoyment of your senses.
.
.
.
To the life that you are.
.
.
.
Bringing your attention now to the top of your head.
.
.
.
And travelling slowly.
.
.
.
Softly down to your forehead.
.
.
.
And to your eyes.
.
.
.
Letting go.
.
.
.
Allowing all those muscles to smooth and relax.
.
.
.
As a gentle bum of your awareness travels over your body.
.
.
.
Continuing lightly down your cheeks.
.
.
.
To your jaw.
.
.
.
So that you part your teeth just a little.
.
.
.
Allowing the sensation of ease and tranquillity to flow through and over you.
.
.
.
Bringing comfort and contentment to your skin.
.
.
.
To every single cell of your body.
.
.
.
Travelling slowly now down the back of your neck.
.
.
.
And softly across your shoulders.
.
.
.
Your skin.
.
.
.
Your body.
.
.
.
Tingling with a sense of serenity and bliss.
.
.
.
A deeper sense of peace and happiness than you have ever known before.
.
.
.
Breathing slowly down your arms.
.
.
.
To your hands.
.
.
.
To the very tips of your fingers.
.
.
.
Breathing in.
.
.
.
And breathing out.
.
.
.
You bring your attention to your chest.
.
.
.
And softly.
.
.
.
Gently down to your tummy.
.
.
.
Knowing appreciation.
.
.
.
Kindness.
.
.
.
And respect for your body.
.
.
.
For the life that you are.
.
.
.
Across your upper back.
.
.
.
And lightly down.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
All the way down to your lower back.
.
.
.
Down your pelvis.
.
.
.
Your genitals.
.
.
.
Your buttocks.
.
.
.
To your legs.
.
.
.
Your thighs.
.
.
.
Your knees.
.
.
.
Caps.
.
.
.
Ankles.
.
.
.
Feet.
.
.
.
To the very tips of your toes.
.
.
.
Your pelvis.
.
.
.
Your body.
.
.
.
Blissfully relaxing.
.
.
.
And glowing in a gentle wave of appreciation and love that your attention has brought to it.
.
.
.
Each time.
.
.
.
Allowing yourself to notice the beauty.
.
.
.
The strength.
.
.
.
And the wisdom of each part of your body.
.
.
.
As your attention travels over.
.
.
.
And this feeling of easiness.
.
.
.
Of loving kindness.
.
.
.
Openness.
.
.
.
And patience.
.
.
.
Will be experienced in your everyday waking state.
.
.
.
You are always aware of a background sense of confidence.
.
.
.
Tenderness.
.
.
.
And presence.
.
.
.
So continue to drift now.
.
.
.
To drift deeply into sleep.
.
.
.
Trusting more your life.
.
.
.
And your own inner voice.
.
.
.
A voice of kindness and gentleness.
.
.
.
A voice of intuition and insight.
.
.
.
That is always loving and kind.
.
.
.
And peaceful.
.
.
.
Drifting down into sleep.

Slept about halfway through. I’m glad this guided meditation does not have any bells

I think it was good as I fell immediately to sleep. I am going to continue using this as I still have a lot of animosity towards my body, even though it gets me where I need to go. Thank you!

Thankyou once again for this very beautiful meditation. Again I've not been feeling well today. Not emotional though I've been fine that way today. But my body has been in some pain today and I've not been able to move around so well today. I think it started yesterday because I noticed that I could not manage to get comfy in my bed. My body is still in a bit of pain now especially my back. That feels very sore under my skin and inside my body. I've been in pain all day. So trying to relax really helps me to not think about it too much until I try to make a movement and then the pain let's me know its there. It really is uncomfortable at the moment.

This meditation, & others that encourage us love of our bodies are SO important! I can’t thank their makers enough! The sudden gain of 50lbs (medical side effect🤬) has had me reeling & loathing my body. & though I’m asleep within the first 15 mins, I find the last line of the mere description of this meditation to be very powerful. It reminds us our bodies are the most precious, amazing things we’ll ever own, & as that sentiment echos in my mind, the guide reinforces it beautifully. After occasionally listening to this meditation over the last few months, I began to think I must’ve lost weight, though I hadn’t, because I’d begun to feel comfortable in a body that had become foreign & repulsive to me. Which allows me to reduce the unhealthy disgust & punishment aspect of my continued weight loss goals. &, I do apologize that my ‘reviews’ or ‘comments’, aren’t as short & tidy as all the others. Brevity is not exactly my strong suit🤷🏻♀️🤭. So sorry!!!

I’ve not been awake through much more than the opening of this guided meditation experience when told that hearing all the words is not necessary to receive the benefits. I sleep deeply and peacefully so that is very good. Thank you.
