47 This is a guided meditation for deep rest.
You can do this meditation either sitting or lying down.
So let's find a comfortable position.
We'll begin this meditation with the intention of resting completely,
Of letting go of everything.
There's nothing you have to do now.
This is a time to rest completely,
Deeply.
Let's close our eyes.
Simply be aware of what's going on with your eyes closed.
Just naturally with the eyes closed,
The senses become less active and start to go within.
Just naturally with the eyes closed,
The mind and body begin to rest.
So noticing what's going on right now.
The mind may still be very busy,
That's fine,
Doesn't matter.
Bring your awareness to the breath.
Notice how the breath moves in and out effortlessly.
Bring your awareness to your body.
Become aware of any sensations in your body.
Notice if there's tension held anywhere in your body.
Whenever you notice tension,
Let it go,
Let your body relax.
Let your shoulders drop.
Let your jaw relax.
Let your belly soften and relax.
Notice the breath.
Notice the restfulness in the breath.
Not minding thoughts,
Not minding noise.
Not trying to make anything happen.
Not resisting anything.
Not doing anything.
Allowing yourself to rest completely.
Letting your body sink into the pool of gravity.
Anytime the mind has wandered,
Doesn't matter.
Just let go of thoughts.
Just let go of the meaning of thoughts.
And easily favor awareness of the body or awareness of the breath.
And always letting go when you notice tension.
This is a time when you don't have to do anything.
This is a time to rest totally,
Completely at rest.
Maybe your body will move as you're relaxing.
Maybe your head will drift a little,
Just letting that happen.
No right or wrong way for this to happen.
No right or wrong experience.
Your body knows what it is to rest completely.
Letting your body rest,
Letting yourself be.
Not having to do anything.
From time to time,
Scanning the body and whenever you notice tension,
Let it go.
Let it dissolve.
Maybe your jaw will drop and your mouth will be open.
Letting yourself feel the fatigue in your body,
The weariness that's present.
Letting that be embraced in this time of not doing.
Just give in to that weariness.
Let go of everything.
Not minding if the mind is still busy.
You can be deeply rested even with the mind chattering.
Just don't pay it any attention.
Don't try to stop it.
If there are some emotions present,
Let them be there.
Let them be felt fully.
Nothing to do about them.
Nothing to change.
Everything just as it should be.
Thinking about you just as it should be so you can stop any effort,
Any trying and rest.
Letting go of tension in the body.
Letting the muscles relax.
Complete and total rest.
Your body knows how to rest.
Your mind knows how to rest by letting go.
Now the music will continue on for a while and you can continue resting for as long as you'd like.
When it's time for you to end the meditation,
Stretch and move around a bit.
Take your time to come out slowly.
