Welcome to your guided meditation for sleep.
Begin in a comfortable seated or lying down position.
Make sure you are comfortable.
This guided meditation will help you prepare for sleep.
Close your eyes.
Notice how good it feels to close your heavy eyelids after a long day.
When you are settled,
Start to take deep breaths.
In through your nose for a count of four.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And out through your mouth for a count of four.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
With every inhale and exhale,
You are getting closer and closer to sleep.
With every breath,
The stress of your day can melt away and your body is slowing down and getting ready for bed.
All you need to think about is this current moment.
If your mind drifts to thinking about today's events or tomorrow's to-do list,
Notice that but don't judge it.
Gently bring yourself back to your breath.
Every breath brings you closer to the sweet relaxation of sleep.
When you finish this meditation,
You'll be able to peacefully drift to bed.
