Welcome everyone,
My name is Leo from Restorative Hypnosis and this is going to be a meditation that is perfect before bed to get deep nourishing sleep.
So set your space up for however it is that feels really good for you today.
Make sure the pillows and blankets,
The temperature and the lighting is exactly as you'd like it to be.
Move your body around,
Get a little stretch and prepare for a beautiful journey inward.
This is your time to rest,
This is a time to slow everything down and it's a time to receive,
A place to receive where there's absolutely nothing you have to do to earn this nourishment.
Whatever happened today or did not happen is over now.
You can leave all of that at the door and take a nice deep intentional breath as we begin.
On your exhales let any stress release from the body,
Make sure you really feel it and if you need another deep breath now is the time.
I want you to really disconnect from your day,
This is your sacred time to be nourished and held and supported as you make your transition into sleep.
I like to think of sleep as one long meditation,
This allows me to remember that it's a sacred time and it's a time where your brain can filter out lots of old things it doesn't need,
Your nervous system can rest and your heart can be still.
So let every breath you take allow things to slow down a little bit more,
Let your body really melt into the bed,
Feel how your shoulders can drop,
How your hands find their place and how your body can really fully lay and let go.
And we ask that as you drift deeper into sleep tonight that you receive any healing on any level that is perfect and necessary for you.
Let tonight be a night of deep rest and beautiful healing as well,
Knowing that the more you slow everything down the more your body can truly rest and the more that you can rest the more healing you are able to receive.
So I'd like you to bring your awareness gently to the very top of your head,
We're gonna slowly work our way down through the body making sure every single part of you moves into a state of rest,
Allowing you to drift even deeper into a perfect night of sleep.
So notice the very crown of your head and sense some love and compassion and peace to the very top of your head.
I like to feel a gentle stream of color,
Whatever color is soothing for you.
I like to see and feel it flow down through my body like gentle water,
Cleansing and relaxing every single muscle that it moves through.
You might feel a cool gentle blue flowing downwards,
Maybe a warm comforting orange.
Feel your body receiving this light,
Slowing everything down even more,
Let this light move deeper and deeper inside of you,
Finding healing and rest on a deep cellular level.
Let this light go even deeper than that,
Down through muscle and bone tissue,
Down through your cell,
All the way down to the subatomic level.
Feel this gentle relaxing light move to your innermost depths,
Healing you and relaxing you at your very core,
Feeling it move down the top of your head,
Down the forehead and the face,
Relaxing everything that it moves through,
Down your temples and your cheeks,
Down the back of your head where your head and spine connect,
Moving down the back and the front of your body at the very same time,
Down through the face,
The throat,
The shoulders,
Down the back of the arms,
The shoulder blades,
Down the front of your arms,
All the way down now to the fingertips,
Resting and healing.
You are resting and healing on a subatomic level,
Feeling this gentle light move down your torso,
Down your mid back,
Going deep into the heart space,
Bringing a level of peace and stillness inside of your heart.
Just breathe and receive this peace,
Allow it to move to your deepest core,
Allowing you to effortlessly drift into the perfect state of sleep whenever it's comfortable,
Whenever it comes,
In its own timing,
It is safe to sleep,
Safe to relax and let go for a while,
It's safe to just be exactly as you are.
Feel this light moving down your hips,
Down the front of your legs,
Down the back of your legs,
Feeling this gentle light of any color move down the feet and into every single toe and feel what it's like to have this light exit the soles of your feet as if it moves gently right through your whole entire body,
As if your body was a channel of peace,
As if your whole body was a channel of divine light,
Allowing you to move deeper and deeper into rest,
Deeper into stillness and feel this light moving all around you as if it were a perfect bubble of total nourishment,
Imagine this light was above you and below you and to your sides,
Feel this light supporting you like the most gentle loving hug for your whole body head to toe,
As if you could breathe this light in and out of every cell inside of you,
Feel how your body rests and replenishes with the radiance of this light that is all around you and all within you and feel how your whole entire being can truly melt into this experience,
Feel the beauty of not having to do anything in particular,
There is nothing to accomplish here,
There's nothing that has to be done,
You can just be in the beautiful essence of who you truly are,
Knowing that when you rest in this way,
Your whole body thanks you,
There is an appreciation for your own self that comes from this type of nourishment,
Letting yourself just be held,
Letting your whole consciousness be cradled by peace,
As if you were gently rocked back and forth,
Side to side by the entire universe itself,
Let this gentle rocking remind you how truly loved you are and that your rest is important and that it is safe to sleep deeply,
That this is your time for your body to really unwind,
That you can let everything else go and you can drift even deeper now into the most perfect night of nourishing sleep,
That it is totally available for you and that your body is thanking you for this rest,
So let your awareness go wherever it needs to go,
Feeling into the spaciousness,
Feeling into the peace and letting your consciousness drift and float,
Float and drift anywhere that feels nourishing for you,
Moving into a deep restful sleep in the perfect time,
In the perfect way,
It is totally effortless,
Enjoy.
