Begin by affirming that you're now entering into a deep,

Restful sleep.

As you affirm this to yourself,

Welcome into your body and mind the felt sense of your inner resource of ease and well-being.

And allow your senses to open to the environment around you,

The sounds around you,

The sensation of air touching your skin,

The sensation of your body resting upon and touching the surface that's supporting you.

From your body breathing itself,

The gentle rise and release of your abdomen with each breath,

The various physical sensations that are present,

Letting go into the feeling of being,

Being at ease throughout your entire body and mind.

Bring your attention to the sensation again of your body breathing itself,

Just noticing without getting involved,

And feel yourself entering into the stream or flow of each breath,

Like you're on a raft gently floating on the stream of sensation that is your breathing.

The coming and going of each inhalation and exhalation,

Your body releasing with each exhalation,

Relaxing,

Letting go,

Relaxed and soft belly,

Letting go into the felt sense of ease and well-being.

Welcome and nourish the sensation of your inner resource of well-being,

Peace,

Ease.

As you continue noting your body breathing itself,

With each exhalation,

Welcome the feeling of well-being into every cell of your body.

With each inhalation,

I want immediately hooked but I was definitely asleep before it ended. That's saying a lot because my mind was initially racing and in a typical night that would have meant 2 hours to fall asleep and that a night of fits and starts. Not this past night! Thx to this meditation guide!
