Welcome to this sleep meditation designed to bring you deep rest and positive mental health.
Find a quiet,
Comfortable space where you can fully relax.
Lie down or sit in a position that feels good for your body.
Close your eyes and let your hands rest gently by your sides.
Take a deep breath in and slowly exhale.
Let's begin by focusing on your breath.
Inhale deeply through the nose,
Feeling your lungs expand.
Hold the breath for a moment.
Exhale slowly through your mouth,
Releasing any tension you may feel.
Again,
Inhaling deeply through the nose,
Feeling your lungs expand.
Hold it.
Exhale slowly through the mouth,
Releasing anything you're holding on to.
With each breath,
Let go of the stress of the day.
Again,
Deep breath in.
Feel your body becoming heavier,
Sinking into the surface beneath you.
And breathing out,
Imagine your breath as a gentle wave washing over you,
Calming your mind,
And carrying away any worries.
Now,
Let's take a journey into a peaceful,
Healing space.
Picture yourself standing on a warm,
Sandy beach.
The sun has just set,
And the sky is painted with soothing hues of deep blue and soft pink.
A gentle breeze brushes against your skin,
And the rhythmic sound of the waves fills your ears.
As you walk along the shore,
Feel the cool sand beneath your feet.
With every step,
You leave behind the weight of your thoughts and stress.
Each footprint you leave behind carries away your worries,
Dissolving them into the ocean.
Ahead,
You notice a soft,
Glowing light.
You walk toward it and find a cozy,
Inviting hammock,
Gently swaying between two trees.
This hammock is for you,
A safe place,
Calm,
And restoration.
You lie down in the hammock,
Cradled by its support,
And gaze up at the starlit sky.
As you rest in this serene space,
Affirm these truths to yourself,
And repeat them silently in your mind,
Or whisper them softly.
I am safe.
I am calm.
I am at peace.
I am safe.
I am calm.
I am at peace.
My mind is clear,
My heart is light,
And my body is relaxed.
I release all worries and welcome deep rest.
I release all worries and welcome deep rest.
I am worthy of love,
Healing,
And happiness.
Each breath I take fills me with calm and positivity.
Each breath I take fills me with calm and positivity.
Sleep restores my body,
Mind,
And soul.
I am grateful for this moment of peace.
Feel the power of these words settling into your subconscious,
Creating a foundation of positivity and self-love.
Now,
Imagine the glowing light from earlier surrounding your body,
Wrapping you in a warm,
Protective cocoon.
This light represents your inner peace and strength.
As it envelopes you,
Feel yourself sinking deeper into relaxation.
Picture each muscle in your body melting into complete rest.
Starting from the top of your head,
Moving down your face,
Through your jaw,
All the way down your neck,
Over to your shoulders,
Moving down your arms,
All the way down to your hands,
Moving back up to your chest,
Moving all the way through your stomach.
This energy is all in your stomach right now.
Feel it sinking deeper into relaxation.
Moving through your hips,
Moving through your legs,
Your calves,
Your ankles,
Your feet,
All the way to your toes.
Your mind is quiet,
Your body is at ease,
And sleep is gently approaching.
Trust that this light will stay with you throughout the night,
Keeping you safe and helping you wake up refreshed.
As you drift into sleep,
Remember that this moment is yours,
A time to heal,
To rest,
And to let go.
Allow your mind to float freely like a feather carried by a gentle breeze.
Sweet dreams.
Namaste.
