Welcome to the present moment of Nordic wood relaxation.
Before we begin,
Remind yourself that this time is for you and you alone.
Allow no distractions,
No worries and no to-do lists to interfere with your time.
Begin this meditation when you are already prepared for sleep and lying comfortably in your bed.
Make sure that your electronics are off and that there are no distractions to disturb you from your sleep.
When you are ready,
Softly close your eyes.
Begin by focusing on your head.
As you notice,
Any muscles in your face that you might be holding,
Sometimes this is our forehead with our eyebrows,
Sometimes this is our jaw.
Whatever muscles you are holding onto here,
Just let them go slack.
Relax and just let it go.
As you do so,
Let your breath be soft and gentle without trying to control it or change it.
Try to be focused only on your breath,
Soft and gentle,
And your awareness not trows into your throat.
If there is any muscle tension here,
Just let it go and continue to let your awareness drift even further,
Downwards into your shoulders.
If any muscles are clenched here,
Just release them and let gravity do its work as you release them and sink more deeply into the bed.
Notice your arms now and your hands.
If there is any tension here,
Just release and let it go.
Now do the same with your torso.
Any muscles that are tight are free to be relaxed.
As you welcome gravity to slip in and do its job.
Simply feel yourself sinking even more deeply into your bed.
As your awareness continues to travel down into your hips,
Feeling any muscles that are tight relaxing,
Letting go of any tension you may be holding onto.
And now let your awareness travel even further down into your tights,
Releasing any muscles here as they grow heavy into the bed.
Feeling softly and gently as you move further down,
Letting your awareness rest on your knees and your calves and your feet.
Feeling any muscle tension here,
Be relaxed.
And now your entire body from the top of your head to the soles of your feet is completely at ease.
Relaxed,
Relaxed,
Relaxed,
Relaxed,
Relaxed.
Breathing softly.
Feel how heavy your body feels in your bed.
It feels as though you can barely lift a muscle,
Even if you are tired,
As if your eyelids are glitched shut.
And your body is completely attached to the bed.
This heaviness sprites with it a deep feeling of peace and comfort.
As you allow your body to feel as though it's floating.
You may imagine it floating on the ocean or in the clouds.
Just relax into this floating sensation.
Let yourself feel your body floating in the state of deep sleep.
There is nothing you need to do besides allow your body to simply relax.
This floating sensation allows you to feel almost dreamy.
You feel as though you are entering into a world of beautiful dreams.
And as you float while listening to these words,
You begin to enter into a dreamlike state.
Your mind slowing down.
You are ready,
Resting.
The whole world becoming quiet and peaceful.
As your body both sinks into the bed.
While simultaneously feeling like it's floating away.
You feel very deep,
Deep,
Deep sleep.
You feel appreciation in your heart for your body's ability to sleep.
When you set the intention that you sleep be of the highest purpose.
Resting deeply so that you may have more energy when you awake the next day.
You feel full appreciation of your heart for your body's ability to sleep.
Your body grows even more tired and you allow yourself to drift off into a deep,
Deep sleep.
Resting softly and gently as you move further down.
Letting your awareness rest on your knees and your calves and your feet.
Letting again your whole muscles be rested and released.
Now your entire body from the top of your head to the soles of your feet is completely at ease.
Feeling how heavy your body feels in your bed.
It feels as though you can bear a lifted muscle.
Even if you're tired as your eyes are shot and your body's completely touched the bed.
You feel as though you're entering into the world of beautiful dreams.
And as you float while listening to these words.
You are in a dreamlike state.
Your mind slowing down.
Your heart rate resting.
Your whole world becoming quiet.
And peaceful.
As your body sinks into the bed.
Floating away.
Entering deep.
Deep.
Sleep.
