Hi this is Kim here,
Welcoming you to this guided sleep meditation.
.
.
.
.
Sleep meditation is a place where you will visit the magical school for witches and wizards and it's a place where you can let go of your everyday worries and drift into a deep and blissful sleep There is absolutely nothing you need to do.
.
.
.
.
Just lie back and listen.
.
.
.
.
Allowing the sounds you hear to help you let go of your thoughts.
.
.
.
.
To let go of your day.
.
.
.
So when you are ready.
.
.
.
.
Take a deep breath in.
.
.
.
.
And as you breathe out.
.
.
.
.
Close your eyes.
.
.
.
.
And begin to relax.
.
.
.
.
Become aware of your body lying in your bed.
.
.
.
.
Noticing the sensation of your body relaxing.
.
.
.
.
As you tune in to the sound of my voice.
.
.
.
.
And the sound of the rain and thunder in the background.
.
.
.
.
Be aware of the music.
.
.
.
.
Should your attention wander away during this session.
.
.
.
.
You just gently and lightly bring your awareness back to the sounds you hear.
.
.
.
.
So that each and every sound relaxes you more deeply.
.
.
.
.
Feeling soothed by every word.
.
.
.
.
By the spaces between the words.
.
.
.
.
The silence beneath the sounds.
.
.
.
.
Noticing how good it feels to just let go.
.
.
.
.
Allowing your body to sink deeply down into your bed.
.
.
.
.
And as your body relaxes.
.
.
.
.
Your mind follows.
.
.
.
.
So that you begin to feel more tranquil and peaceful than you have ever felt before.
.
.
.
.
Should you need to wake for any reason at all.
.
.
.
.
You will do so.
.
.
.
.
Tend to whatever needs your attention.
.
.
.
.
Return to bed.
.
.
.
.
And just by bringing your mind back to the sensation of your body lying in your bed.
.
.
.
.
You will drift easily and naturally back to sleep.
.
.
.
.
Awaking only at a time that you set for yourself.
.
.
.
.
Feeling positive.
.
.
.
.
Rejuvenated.
.
.
.
Focussed.
.
.
.
In your mind's eye now.
.
.
.
.
I'd like you to see yourself in your house common room.
.
.
.
.
You are sat next to the fire.
.
.
.
.
Either in a relaxing chair.
.
.
.
.
Or maybe lying on the floor.
.
.
.
.
You can hear the soft crackle of the fire.
.
.
.
.
Smell the woody scent of the burning logs.
.
.
.
You can feel the warmth of the flames.
.
.
.
.
And outside.
.
.
.
.
You can hear the sound of rain.
.
.
.
.
And rolling thunder in the distance.
.
.
.
.
The sensation of warmth and contentment.
.
.
.
.
You're feeling so at ease.
.
.
.
.
That each and every sound you hear flows through your mind.
.
.
.
.
Through your body.
.
.
.
.
You're warm and cosy.
.
.
.
.
Safe and protected.
.
.
.
.
Quiet and still.
.
.
.
Feeling so sleepy now.
.
.
.
.
That you decide to make your way to your dormitory bed.
.
.
.
.
Standing at the foot of the spiral staircase that leads to your dormitory.
.
.
.
This is a magical stairway.
.
.
.
.
With each footstep up.
.
.
.
.
The stairs spiral downwards.
.
.
.
.
So that it appears as if you are remaining in the same place.
.
.
.
.
While your dormitory comes closer.
.
.
.
.
With each step.
.
.
.
.
The staircase descends in a spiral behind you.
.
.
.
And in a moment.
.
.
.
.
I will guide you up each and every step.
.
.
.
.
While the spiral staircase rotates downwards.
.
.
.
.
Each step closer to your dormitory.
.
.
.
There are ten steps.
.
.
.
I will begin counting down the steps.
.
.
.
.
And with each number.
.
.
.
.
You feel your body relax more deeply.
.
.
.
.
Your mind feeling quieter and quieter.
.
.
.
Aware of the sensation of each and every step rotating the staircase downwards.
.
.
.
.
Starting on ten.
.
.
.
.
Feeling so peaceful.
.
.
.
.
Slow.
.
.
.
.
And lazy.
.
.
.
Nine.
.
.
.
.
How good it feels to just let go.
.
.
.
.
To surrender to this moment.
.
.
.
Eight.
.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
.
And down.
.
.
.
.
Round.
.
.
.
.
And around.
.
.
.
Seven.
.
.
.
.
Drifting down into sleep.
.
.
.
Calm.
.
.
.
Tranquil.
.
.
.
So very sleepy.
.
.
.
Five.
.
.
.
.
Four.
.
.
.
Three.
.
.
.
Two.
.
.
.
One.
.
.
.
All the way down.
.
.
.
.
So serene and quiet.
.
.
.
You walk slowly and lazily over to your own four-poster bed.
.
.
.
.
You climb into your bed.
.
.
.
.
And should you wish to.
.
.
.
.
You may like to close the curtains around your bed.
.
.
.
.
Or leave them open.
.
.
.
Whichever you choose.
.
.
.
.
It is the best decision for you.
.
.
.
.
To help you relax more deeply.
.
.
.
Letting go to deeper levels of peace.
.
.
.
.
Sorenity.
.
.
.
.
Contentment.
.
.
.
You are feeling the perfect temperature for you.
.
.
.
.
Aware of the touch of the bedding fabric against your skin.
.
.
.
.
The support of your mattress.
.
.
.
You find that the rainstorm outside.
.
.
.
.
The knowledge of being safe.
.
.
.
.
And cosy in your bed.
.
.
.
.
Protected from the outside storm.
.
.
.
.
It only helps you to feel more and more relaxed.
.
.
.
.
And above you.
.
.
.
.
Through the canopy of your bed.
.
.
.
.
You see clearly the night sky.
.
.
.
.
And although it is raining outside.
.
.
.
.
Your view of space above is clear.
.
.
.
.
You see the stars twinkling and shimmering in the blue-black velvet of the night sky.
.
.
.
.
To help you deepen the state of relaxation.
.
.
.
.
I will shortly guide you through a relaxing body scan.
.
.
.
.
As your attention travels over your body.
.
.
.
.
You feel those muscles.
.
.
.
.
