Namaste.
If you want to fall asleep,
You are at the right place.
I'm Marcel Groux.
Please lie down in a quiet space.
Arms by your sides,
Palms up and eyes closed.
It all starts with the next breath.
Inhale for five seconds and exhale for six.
Watch out,
There is no ending gong or my voice bringing you back to an awake state.
So be prepared to sleep after this recording.
Make sure to turn off everything so you won't be disturbed after you are asleep.
Take a deep breath in and slow down your exhale,
Making your exhales longer than your inhales.
Feel your body soften,
Your muscles letting go of the day.
There is nothing to do,
Nowhere to be,
Just this moment of rest before sleep.
Inhale,
Calm.
Exhale,
Tension.
Inhale,
Peace.
Exhale,
Pressure.
With each breath,
Feel a warm wave of relaxation washing over you,
Starting at the top of your head,
Flowing down your face,
Releasing your jaw,
Softening your shoulders,
Melting through your arms,
Your hands,
Drifting down your spine,
Your legs,
All the way to your toes.
As you exhale,
Feel again this wave of relaxation from the top of your head,
Flowing down your face,
Releasing your jaw,
Softening your shoulders,
Melting through your arms,
Your hands,
Drifting down your spine,
Your legs,
All the way to your toes.
One more time.
As you're exhaling,
Feel this wave of relaxation washing over you,
Starting at the top of your head,
Flowing down your face,
Your jaw,
Your shoulders,
Your arms,
Your hands,
Your spine,
Your legs,
All the way to your toes.
Your body is heavy,
Completely at ease.
Your body is very heavy,
Completely at ease.
Imagine yourself floating on a calm,
Warm sea.
The water is gentle,
Holding you effortlessly.
With every breath,
You drift deeper into comfort.
The waves rise and fall,
Just like your breath,
Slowly,
Peacefully,
Rocking you into deep,
Effortless sleep.
Your mind is quiet.
You are safe.
You are at peace.
Surrender to stillness.
Slowly,
If you're still hanging on,
Start to count your exhales,
Every time you exhale.
One,
Two,
Every exhale,
Counting every exhale.
Continue in your own time,
Counting your exhales.
If you lose the count,
Start again.
There is nothing more to do.
Sleep is here.
Let go.
