Hello,
My name is Lara and I'll be guiding us through this practice.
If you've had a nightmare or you're scared to fall asleep because of bad dreams.
Know that you're not alone.
And this meditation will help you feel safe.
And ready to go to sleep.
If you haven't already.
Find a comfortable position lying down.
Allow your eyes to gently close or you can keep them open gazing softly in front of you.
And go ahead and place your hands palms facing down somewhere on the body.
This will help you to feel grounded and supported.
Let's take a few slow,
Deep breaths together.
Holding the intention that on the inhale you're breathing in safety and love through the nose.
And on the exhale you're breathing out any old,
Fearful,
Or heavy energy through the mouth.
So go ahead and empty any air out.
And then slow breath into the belly,
Breathing in fresh new air.
And exhale out anything that doesn't serve you.
Again long deep inhale through the nose.
And through the mouth,
Slow exhale.
Last one,
Deep breath in.
And slowly let it go.
Now maybe with one hand on the heart,
One hand on the belly,
I invite you to repeat after me either out loud or in your head.
I release any energy that's aligned with nightmares.
I am safe.
And it is safe for me to fall asleep.
I sleep well and peacefully throughout the night.
I have sweet dreams.
And now together.
We ask God,
The universe,
Or our higher selves,
Whatever resonates,
For a restful night without any nightmares.
We declare that only loving energy is welcome in our homes.
And we ask that the energy of love and peace hold us throughout our sleep and protect us.
Know that it is now so.
There's nothing else you need to do.
We can trust that our wish has been granted.
And now I just invite you to feel,
Imagine,
Or visualize whatever comes naturally.
That the entire room you're in is filled with love and protection.
Maybe thinking of a person you feel safe with,
Or a place that feels peaceful and comforting.
And letting the feeling of that fill the space you're in right now.
Let that energy of love and safety hug your body and fill the surrounding air like it's holding you and everything around you.
Every breath takes you deeper into relaxation and peace.
Your mind gets quieter.
Your body relaxes even more.
You feel ready and able to have a nourishing,
Deep night of sleep.
Allow yourself to gently and easily drift off into sleep.
Sleep is coming easily and gently.
And you welcome it.
You know,
You'll wake up in the morning feeling rested and nourished.
You're ready for a night of sweet,
Peaceful dreams.
Good night and sleep well my friend.
