Sleep Meditation: Returning To Wholeness

This 13-minute sleep meditation is a gentle journey home to yourself. You’ll call your energy back, release the weight of the day, and reconnect with the wholeness of your soul before drifting into sleep. As you soften into rest, the boundaries between body and spirit dissolve — leaving you calm, restored, and deeply held in the peace of your infinite being.

Hello,

You beautiful being.

Tonight you are invited to reconnect with your infinite soul essence.

The feeling of remembering how incredibly infinite,

Eternal,

And expansively whole you really are.

So,

As you prepare for a deep,

Restorative sleep tonight,

You will call your energy back home,

Releasing what no longer is serving you,

What is no longer needed,

As you soften into a deep space of infinite calm that is already calling to you.

Trust yourself,

Trust what you need here,

As you allow yourself to slow down and prepare for sleep tonight.

I want to invite you to begin by closing your eyes,

Or if you don't feel quite ready for that,

Or if that doesn't feel safe,

Just find a place on the wall,

The ceiling,

The room around you to allow your gaze to focus in on,

Allowing your gaze to soften.

And as you do,

Connect with your breath here.

Connect with that steady rise and fall of each inhale and every exhale.

Feeling the expansion of your breath entering your body,

And the contraction as your breath leaves your body,

Noticing how even when you pause between the inhale and the exhale,

Your breath never really stops.

Even in the moments when you are completely unaware of your breath,

It's still there,

Flowing to you and through you,

Nourishing you,

Sustaining you.

And the same is true of your divine connection,

Always there,

Always flowing to you and through you,

Even when you forget about it,

Even when you're completely unaware of it.

And as you slow down and are falling asleep,

Both your breath and your divine connection are right here,

Holding you,

Guiding you.

So allow yourself to take some really slow,

Cleansing,

Nourishing breaths here,

In through the nose and out through the mouth.

As you feel yourself drop more deeply into your breath,

Drop more deeply into your body,

Drop more deeply into the infinite present moment.

As you imagine your body as a giant magnet,

Magnetizing all of your energy that may have been left in other times and places throughout time and space.

Imagine magnetizing it all here to you now in this moment,

Like pieces of a puzzle forming a whole.

Energy that you may have left during a conversation that happened earlier today,

Or during a painful experience in the near past,

Or even energy that may have been left in a moment of pure awe and wonder and ecstasy.

Imagine calling it all back to you here now in this moment,

Feeling a greater sense of wholeness,

A greater sense of presence as all of you arrives here in this moment.

Breathe into that space,

My love,

Breathe into yourself as you meet the wholeness of yourself here.

As you do,

Gently allow your awareness to drop into your heart space,

Becoming aware of a slide,

A ladder that guides your awareness down from the mind all the way into the very center of your heart.

And imagine guiding your awareness down that slide,

Down that stairway,

Until you find yourself there in your heart center,

Becoming aware of a doorway,

A portal that lives right there within your heart.

And just allow yourself to take it in,

To notice this doorway,

This portal right there within your heart space.

Notice the size of it,

The shape of it,

Notice the color and the style of it,

Allow yourself to get a little closer to this doorway,

This portal,

Noticing if there are any other details that you may notice about it.

And as you breathe here,

Imagine that doorway,

That portal opening wider and wider with every breath you breathe.

As you exhale,

As you let that breath go,

Feel that doorway opening wider and wider until it is wide open.

As you notice a bright light come streaming through from the other side,

The light within you,

The light that is you.

And as that light begins to shine through that doorway,

That portal right there within your heart center,

That light begins to flow throughout and fill your entire body,

Flowing down through the belly,

The hips,

The legs,

All the way down through the feet to the tips of the toes,

Down out through your arms,

Your hands,

Your fingers,

And all the way up through the very top of the head,

Feeling every cell,

Every atom of your body illuminating with that bright light,

Whatever color it may be,

Trusting what color you see or feel or sense.

And as you breathe here,

Using the power of your breath,

The power of your exhale to continue expanding that light,

Allowing it to grow even larger,

To move beyond the confines of your physical body until it begins to form a giant bubble or circle all the way around you,

Several feet in every direction.

Feeling this bubble of light energy illuminating the space within and all around you.

Take a slow gentle breath in through the nose and out through the mouth here as you feel yourself ground in to this powerful energy of love,

Of peace,

Of calm,

Of light.

And as you continue breathing,

Begin to breathe in the energy of this light,

Feeling the energy of love and peace and calm begin to filter into your body.

And as you breathe out,

Begin to breathe out and release what no longer serves you.

And as you let it go through the breath,

Notice as it meets the air around you,

As it meets that bubble of light energy,

It begins to alchemize into something more whole,

More true,

This divine alchemical bubble of light energy nourishing you,

Bringing you calm,

Love and peace and alchemizing and restoring what was held within your body and feel that's no longer in highest service of you.

The rage,

The doubt,

The shame,

The self-loathing,

The confusion,

The fear,

Releasing it through your breath and feeling,

Sensing,

Seeing as the bubble of light energy begins to alchemize and transform it right here around you.

Breathing in the peace,

The calm,

The love and breathing out what is ready to be released over and over again with each powerful breath you breathe,

My love.

And as you allow this to continue through the power of your breath,

Gently guide your awareness back to the doorway,

The portal right there within your heart space.

As you imagine yourself now standing before it,

Take in this doorway,

This portal once more,

Noticing once again,

The size,

The shape,

The color of it,

Noticing the bright light that continues to stream through from the other side.

In just a moment,

You are going to step through this doorway and into the other side into a sacred soul space of infinite calm,

Where you'll be met with and reconnect with your soul's essence.

Trust yourself,

Trust whatever unfolds here,

Knowing that this experience is unique for each soul.

Knowing that the space that awaits you on the other side is a sacred space that is sacred to your soul specifically,

A space that may feel new,

Yet also deeply familiar and like home.

Take a slow,

Gentle breath in through your nose,

My love,

And out through your mouth as you step through that doorway and into the other side in three,

Two,

One.

Be there.

Be there now,

My love.

As you step into the light,

Allow your connection with this sacred soul space to grow clearer and stronger,

Clearer and stronger,

Clearer and stronger.

Know what you know,

Feel what you feel,

Hear what you hear,

See what you see,

Sense what you sense,

Allowing yourself to take in this space,

To remember this space,

Whether there is a powerful and clear visual of the space around you,

Or a deep sensing and knowing of the space around you,

Or whether you simply experience the energy of calm and peace that meets you here,

Trust yourself,

Trust what you experience.

Allow yourself to breathe here,

To be here,

Allowing this space to begin to guide your consciousness and your body through the calm,

Gentle pathway of deep sleep,

And as you begin to drift and float and flow into this space,

Allow yourself to receive the message this place holds for you.

If it could speak,

What would it want you to know right now?

Beautiful my love,

May this remembering carry you deeper and deeper into the dream realm,

Into the sacred liminal space of sleep,

Where your body restores and rests,

And your soul journeys and remembers.

Rest now my love,

The universe is holding you as you sleep.
