Welcome to this guided meditation for a restful sleep.
Please begin by lying down in a comfortable position.
And now close your eyes as you allow yourself to relax fully and deeply.
Take the time now to release the thoughts and emotions from the day.
Just let everything go.
Whatever happened during your day,
Whatever you have experienced has now passed and you're able to be present and calm right here and right now.
And now as you begin to relax deeper,
Begin to deepen your breathing,
Inhaling and exhaling deeply.
Really feel the coolness of the air as you inhale and the warmth of the air as you exhale.
Focus on this sensation,
The cool air as you breathe in through your nose and the warm air with each exhale.
Inhale peace and exhale anything left over from the day.
As you inhale gratitude,
Exhale any tension left in your body or mind.
And as you inhale relaxation,
Exhale any other thoughts that you need to let go of right now.
Any thoughts that come by,
Imagine them as clouds floating harmlessly by,
Knowing that they're there and acknowledging them but paying them no mind.
Breathing is exactly as it needs to be right now.
Now as you continue to breathe deeply,
Allow your mind to be empty and still.
Feel your body being lifted up and supported by the mattress underneath you.
Think heavily into it.
We will now begin to recite a mantra silently in your mind.
My body is calm and relaxed.
I am safe and I am loved.
All is well and I am grateful.
Breathe deeply now and allow the mantra to become your only thought.
If your mind wanders,
It's okay,
Just come back to the mantra once again.
My body is calm and relaxed.
I am safe and I am loved.
All is well and I am grateful.
We will now go into a few minutes of silent meditation.
Continue to repeat this mantra silently in your mind.
When you hear my voice again,
We will come back to the present,
But for now,
Simply allow your mind to just be.
You may begin your silent meditation now.
Take your time and relax.
You You You You You And as we slowly come back from this meditative state.

Good,
Just focusing on your breathing once again.
Nice deep inhale.
.
.
And nice deep exhale.
.
.
Deep inhale through your nose.
.
.
Deep exhale through your mouth.
.
.
You should be feeling sleepier now.
Thank you so much for taking the time to practice this meditation with me tonight.
Good night.
