7 Minutes For Sleep (As I Drift Away - Ambient Chants)

In tonight’s guided sleep meditation, 7 Minutes For Sleep, Reuben prepares us with a gentle closing of the day. This is an adapted version of the full sleep track called 'As I Drift Away'. We use a technique of softening whilst the sound of the waves and the chants of a choir take place in the background.

Transcript

My name is Reuben,

I'm here to prepare you for the closure of this day,

For the magic of a restful night's sleep,

Letting go of everything,

Recognizing there is nothing else to do right now,

Nowhere else to be,

Nothing else to think right now.

Let go into the emptiness of awareness,

Into this deep,

Deep restful experience which prepares you for sleep.

All you need to do is to relax in body and mind and you will fall asleep.

And to do this,

We need to let go of the need to be asleep.

Noticing my forehead and softening.

Noticing my face and softening.

Noticing the muscles in my shoulders and back,

Softening.

Noticing my chest and belly,

Softening.

Noticing my legs and feet,

Softening.

Noticing the waves of my breath and softening.

Noticing my entire body and softening.

Everything is soft and softening.

Everything is soft and softening.

Letting go of any notion of needing to do anything.

Future you,

Rested,

Restored and rejuvenated,

Will be there for when you need it.

Reviews

That was a great sleep meditation. I was drowsy by the end, and I feel able to go to sleep now.
