Beautiful soul,
Welcome to this guided breathwork visualization for sleep.
Find a comfortable position lying down in your bed with your arms by your sides and your eyes gently closed.
Let's begin.
Deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely,
And then slowly through your mouth,
Releasing any tension you may be holding on to.
Breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely,
And then exhale slowly through your mouth,
Releasing any tension you may be holding on to.
Feel the weight of your body sinking into your bed as you let go of the day behind you.
Now,
Allowing the breaths to come in and out.
Imagine yourself aboard a ship,
Gently swinging with the rhythm of the ocean waves.
You can feel the cold breeze against your skin and hear the seagulls overhead.
The ship begins its journey,
Sailing out into the vast expanse of the sea.
As the ship moves forward,
You notice the waves growing larger and more turbulent.
The sea churns and roars,
Causing the ship to rock back and forth,
Back and forth.
With each inhale,
Imagine yourself rising with the crest of the wave,
And with each exhale you feel yourself sinking down into the trough.
Deep breath in,
And out.
Despite the chaos around you,
You focus on your breath,
Inhaling deeply,
Drawing in a sense of calm and stability.
Exhaling slowly,
Releasing any fear or tension that may arise.
You are safe aboard the ship,
Guided by the steady rhythm of your breath.
As you continue to breathe,
Visualize the storm gradually subsiding.
The waves begin to calm,
And the sea becomes still once more.
Feel the gentle rocking of the ship as it glides effortlessly through the tranquil waters.
With each breath,
Imagine yourself drifting deeper and deeper into relaxation.
Allow the gentle motion of the ocean to lull you into a state of peaceful surrender.
Let go of any thoughts or worries,
Allowing them to melt away into the mist upon the water.
As you breathe,
Picture the night sky above you,
Filled with countless stars twinkling in the darkness.
Feel the cool night air against your skin as you bask in the serenity of this moment.
Inhale deeply,
Drawing in the quiet stillness of the ocean night,
And exhale slowly,
Releasing any remaining tension in your body and in your mind.
You're at peace.
Continue to breathe deeply and evenly,
Allowing yourself to drift off into a deep and restful sleep.
Know that you are safe and supported,
Carried gently upon the waves of your breath.
Breathing in gently,
Exhaling fully.
As we come to the end of this visualization,
Take a moment to express gratitude for this time that you have given yourself to relax and unwind.
Carry this sense of peace with you as you transition into sleep,
Knowing that you can return to this place of calm and ease whenever you need it.
May you rest and sleep deeply and wake refreshed.
