Surrender, Flow, Repeat - Inner Peace - Sleep Meditation
"The obstacle is the path" but it helps when we learn to surrender (find a place of inner acceptance) and flow invariably towards another obstacle; hence, the repeat! But practice makes perfect, or good enough. Surrender here is not meant in the sense of "giving up", but rather making peace with what is and adjusting/adapting to reality. Learning to surrender helps develop resilience, creativity, strength, perseverance, open-mindedness, and overall trust in your own innate wisdom.

Please only listen to this recording when you can take some time for yourself and just relax undisturbed.
Please do not listen to this recording whilst driving or operating machinery.
This is Kim Carmen Walsh welcoming you to this guided sleep meditation designed to help you connect with the deeper peace of the present moment.
.
.
.
.
Both as you are going to sleep and in your everyday waking state.
When you are ready,
Please take a moment and make yourself comfortable.
.
.
.
.
Preferably lying in your bed.
.
.
.
.
On your back.
.
.
.
.
With your legs uncrossed.
.
.
.
.
And your arms resting at your sides.
.
.
.
.
Take a deep breath in.
.
.
.
.
And as you breathe out,
Close your eyes and begin to relax.
.
.
.
.
As you take this time before drifting into sleep.
.
.
.
.
You can allow your body to let go and feel the ease of being.
.
.
.
.
Aware of sinking more heavily into your bed.
.
.
.
.
As you drift into a deep and restorative sleep.
.
.
.
.
And as you let go of the day.
.
.
.
.
Let go of thinking.
.
.
.
.
You know that there is absolutely nothing for you to do.
.
.
.
.
Please lie back and listen.
.
.
.
.
Allowing the words and the spaces between the words to guide you to a place within of peace and serenity.
.
.
.
.
A place of quiet and depth.
.
.
.
.
Feeling connected with life.
.
.
.
.
With loved ones.
.
.
.
.
With the universe.
.
.
.
.
Going beyond your thoughts.
.
.
.
.
Beyond your opinions and judgments.
.
.
.
.
Beyond chaos and order.
.
.
.
.
To a place within where you are always in harmony with what is.
.
.
.
.
A place of innate knowing.
.
.
.
.
Wisdom.
.
.
.
.
And courage.
.
.
.
.
The present moment is a place of infinite loving kindness and strength.
.
.
.
.
In this life,
Nature and our very existence is naturally in a perpetual state of surrender and flow.
.
.
.
.
It is connected to a state of being within.
.
.
.
.
That is open to infinite possibilities.
.
.
.
.
In any given moment.
.
.
.
.
Whether you consider them negative.
.
.
.
.
Positive.
.
.
.
.
Or neutral in your analytical mind.
.
.
.
.
But for now,
There is no need for you to reflect on the semantics of the present moment.
.
.
.
.
Of surrender and flow.
.
.
.
.
All you need to do is lie back and listen.
.
.
.
.
And trust that beyond your thoughts and beliefs is a place.
.
.
.
.
A state of being that is compassionate.
.
.
.
.
Intelligent.
.
.
.
.
Kind.
.
.
.
.
And in your minds as I now.
.
.
.
.
I'd like you to imagine yourself walking through a wildflower meadow.
.
.
.
.
The distant setting sun is shining at soft warmth on your skin.
.
.
.
.
And as you look up,
You stop to see the gathering swallows performing a murmuration.
.
.
.
.
As they collect together.
.
.
.
.
Flying above you.
.
.
.
.
It appears as if they are dancing.
.
.
.
.
Forming lines that wave back and forth across the sky.
.
.
.
.
The sound of the birds in flight makes a whispered murmur.
.
.
.
.
The sight and the sound of the spectacle are both magical and mesmerising.
.
.
.
.
You continue to walk lazily through the meadow.
.
.
.
.
Aware of the sensation of the long grass and the flowers gently brushing against your skin.
.
.
.
.
The air smells fresh.
.
.
.
.
With a hint of warm honey and oats.
.
.
.
.
Breathing in deeply.
.
.
.
.
You feel a beautiful connection with the landscape through which you are walking.
.
.
.
.
Perceiving its peace.
.
.
.
.
Wisdom.
.
.
.
.
And oneness.
.
.
.
.
How wonderful it feels to be you.
.
.
.
.
Experiencing this scene with all of your senses.
.
.
.
.
Looking about you.
.
.
.
.
You are aware of how good it feels to be present to this experience.
.
.
.
.
And as you continue to walk slowly through the meadow.
.
.
.
.
You are aware of the sound of a stream just ahead of you.
.
.
.
.
In a moment,
I will begin to slowly count down your footsteps from 10 to 1.
.
.
.
.
And with each descending number.
.
.
.
.
You feel yourself become quieter.
.
.
.
.
And quieter.
.
.
.
.
Feeling.
.
.
.
.
Experiencing the power of the present moment.
.
.
.
.
Flowing through your mind.
.
.
.
.
Flowing through your mind.
.
.
.
.
Feeling more and more relaxed.
.
.
.
.
With each slow footstep.
.
.
.
.
With each descending number starting on 10.
.
.
.
.
Noticing how good it feels to just let go.
.
.
.
.
9.
.
.
.
.
So tranquil.
.
.
.
.
Serene.
.
.
.
.
Content.
.
.
.
.
And 8.
.
.
.
.
Connecting with the silent wisdom within.
.
.
.
.
7.
.
.
.
.
Drifting down.
.
.
.
.
Deeper and deeper.
.
.
.
.
And deeper.
.
.
.
.

.
.
1.
.
.
.
All the way down.
.
.
.
.
Drifting into sleep.
.
.
.
.
As that is what you feel like doing.
.
.
.
.
And your subconscious mind is open to the positive suggestions I make.
.
.
.
.
So that you find the peace and wisdom available to you in every moment of the now.
.
.
.
.
Learning to quiet your mind.
.
.
.
.
To go beyond your beliefs.
.
.
.
.
To a state of being where you are brave.
.
.
.
.
Wise and kind.
.
.
.
.
Kind to yourself.
.
.
.
.
Kind to others.
.
.
.
.
Knowing all external perceptions are a reflection of your inner world.
.
.
.
.
And you can trust that your higher self is always doing its best for you.
.
.
.
.
Helping you to open to the present moment.
.
.
.
.
To turn down the volume on your thoughts.
.
.
.
.
As you connect with the deeper wisdom of your body.
.
.
.
.
And in your imagination now.
.
.
.
.
You have reached the waters edge of the stream.
.
.
.
.
And just ahead of you.
.
.
.
.
You see a large wooden boat.
.
.
.
.
And inside are soft pillows and blankets.
.
.
.
.
So you climb in easily.
.
.
.
.
And make yourself comfortable.
.
.
.
.
Pulling the warm soft blankets around you.
.
.
.
.
Should you need to.
.
.
.
.
You are aware that somehow the boat will steer itself naturally along the stream.
.
.
.
.
You can just sit back.
.
.
.
.
Or lie back if you choose.
.
.
.
.
Feeling the sensation of the boat.
.
.
.
.
As it safely and peacefully navigates down the river.
.
.
.
.
And to further deepen your state of relaxation.
.
.
.
.
To more easily perceive the deeper peace of the present moment.
.
.
.
.
I will do a relaxing body scan.
.
.
.
.
Slowly guiding your attention over 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 relax.
.
.
.
.
And let go more deeply.
.
.
.
.
Allowing your mind and body to flow with sensations of serenity.
.
.
.
.
Contentment.
.
.
.
.
Surrender.
.
.
.
.
And flow.
.
.
.
.
Surrender.
.
.
.
.
And flow.
.
.
.
.
So starting now at the top of your head.
.
.
.
.
You will feel the calmness of your body.
.
.
.
.
Slowly bringing your awareness down to your forehead.
.
.
.
.
And softly over your eyes.
.
.
.
.
Letting go of all those small facial muscles.
.
.
.
.
And noticing how good it feels to feel the deeper peace of being.
.
.
.
.
Of presence.
.
.
.
.
Flow with your awareness.
.
.
.
.
Flow with the present moment.
.
.
.
.
Continuing slowly down your face.
.
.
.
.
Softly across your cheeks.
.
.
.
.
Down to your jaw.
.
.
.
.
Parting your teeth just a little.
.
.
.
.
Feeling deeper and deeper relaxed.
.
.
.
.
Slowly down the back of your neck.
.
.
.
.
And gently across your shoulders.
.
.
.
.
Drifting down.
.
.
.
.
Tranquil.
.
.
.
.
Happy.
.
.
.
.
Letting go.
.
.
.
.
Flowing across your chest.
.
.
.
.
And gently down to your tummy.
.
.
.
.
Deeper and deeper.
.
.
.
.
Quiet.
.
.
.
.
Still.
.
.
.
Softly now across your upper back.
.
.
.
.
And gently down.
.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to your lower back.
.
.
.
.
Continuing down to your pelvis.
.
.
.
.
Down to your buttocks.
.
.
.
.
To your legs.
.
.
.
.
Your thighs.
.
.
.
.
Your knees.
.
.
.
.
Your calves.
.
.
.
.
Down to your ankles.
.
.
.
.
Your feet.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to the tips of your toes.
.
.
.
.
Just drifting and floating.
.
.
.
.
In the here.
.
.
.
.
In the now.
.
.
.
.
Feeling so very serene and calm.
.
.
.
.
Aware of the deep stillness within.
.
.
.
.
Your mind quiet and flowing.
.
.
.
.
Your body relaxed and still.
.
.
.
.
Taking the state of openness.
.
.
.
.
Of calm focus in the present moment.
.
.
.
.
Into your everyday waking state.
.
.
.
.
Noticing more and more.
.
.
.
.
As you listen to this recording nightly.
.
.
.
.
How much calmer.
.
.
.
.
Spontaneous.
.
.
.
.
And focused you are in the present moment.
.
.
.
.
Your senses more highly attuned to the now.
.
.
.
.
Your mind feels calmer and quieter.
.
.
.
.
As you bring your attention to your sense of sight.
.
.
.
.
Touch.
.
.
.
.
Hearing.
.
.
.
.
Taste.
.
.
.
.
And smell.
.
.
.
.
Noticing the freedom that this gives you.
.
.
.
.
The released and renewed energy to focus on what is naturally needed in every moment of the now.
.
.
.
.
Trusting your ability to remain present in a space beyond thought.
.
.
.
.
To deal more effectively with every situation you find yourself in.
.
.
.
.
You see.
.
.
.
.
You feel.
.
.
.
.
You experience yourself in your mind's eye.
.
.
.
.
What it is like to be fully present.
.
.
.
.
Bringing your attention.
.
.
.
.
Your awareness to the now.
.
.
.
.
And as you do this.
.
.
.
.
Your mind naturally quiets.
.
.
.
.
Your body relaxes.
.
.
.
.
And the energy of being.
.
.
.
.
Of the universe flows through you.
.
.
.
.
Through your mind.
.
.
.
.
Through your body.
.
.
.
.
Keeping all things in perspective.
.
.
.
.
Small problems.
.
.
.
.
Not just small problems.
.
.
.
.
You feel a deeper clarity of mind and presence of being.
.
.
.
.
That fills you with great depths of energy and intuition.
.
.
.
.
To act appropriately in any given moment.
.
.
.
.
Where you find solutions.
.
.
.
.
And create opportunities that are of the highest benefit for you.
.
.
.
.
The highest benefit for others.
.
.
.
.
And the more you see.
.
.
.
.
Feel.
.
.
.
Experience yourself in the state of being.
.
.
.
.
Of living and focusing on the present moment.
.
.
.
.
The more natural this becomes.
.
.
.
.
Further.
.
.
.
.
Allowing you to strengthen.
.
.
.
.
And grow your ability to surrender.
.
.
.
.
Flow.
.
.
.
.
Repeat.
.
.
.
.
Opening up to reality with courage.
.
.
.
.
Wisdom.
.
.
.
.
And loving kindness.
.
.
.
.
Surrender.
.
.
.
.
Flow.
.
.
.
.
Repeat.
.
.
.
.
Open to the support,
Love and care that is offered in every moment of the present by others.
.
.
.
.
By the universe.
.
.
.
.
By your own experiences.
.
.
.
.
Continue to rest now.
.
.
.
.
To trust more deeply.
.
.
.
.
Your own innate silent wisdom.
.
.
.
.
The intelligence of your body and mind that goes beyond thoughts.
.
.
.
.
Bringing presence naturally into your everyday waking state.
.
.
.
.
An openness.
.
.
.
.
A curiosity of being to what is.
.
.
.
.
Every moment of the present gives you an opportunity to practice a deeper state of being.
.
.
.
.
Of continual surrender and flow.
.
.
.
.
Of loving what is.
.
.
.
.
Drifting down now into sleep.
.
.
.
.
To sleep throughout the night.
.
.
.
.
And awake in the morning.
.
.
.
.
Only at a time that you set for yourself.
.
.
.
.
Feeling invigorated.

Focused.

I fell straight to sleep. Your soothing meditations helped me survive many months of dark, frightful nights of illness and medical treatments. I had bookmarked my favorites, so i'm delighted to check back and see that you have many more tracks. Clearly they work! Truly a lifesaver for me!
