Transcript
My name is SadΓ© Simone and it's an honor and a joy to guide you into a deep and restful sleep.
You can just lay down and listen to the sound of my voice.
Find a position that you're most comfortable in.
And just take a moment to appreciate how good it feels to just lay down in your bed.
And gently rejoice on all the good things you have in your life.
And to begin this process of relaxation,
Let's take three long deep breaths in and out,
Letting go of all worries,
Letting go of the day.
So let's breathe in for a count of four.
So breathing in,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And breathing out for a count of five,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And five.
And breathing in,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And breathing out,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And breathing out,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And five.
And one more.
Breathing in,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And breathing out,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And five.
And then allow your natural breathing rhythm to occur.
And gently bringing your awareness to your breath.
See if you can notice the temperature of the breath when you inhale and the changes of temperature when you exhale.
And noticing as the breath comes in,
The belly rises and the breath stops.
And noticing as the breath comes in,
The belly rises and expands.
And when the breath goes out,
The belly settles.
And maybe see if you can notice the short gap in between the in and out breath.
See if you can tune into that space.
And if you can't,
That's okay too.
Give your mind permission to become one with your breath.
Allow your mind to become one with your breath.
And if thoughts come,
Notice them and gently come back.
You reconnect with your breath.
Repeating this mantra silently to yourself.
I am at peace.
I am at peace.
I am at peace.
And letting go of the breath and letting go of the mantra and becoming aware of the body as a whole.
We'll begin a relaxation journey throughout the whole body.
You move your awareness to different parts of your body as soon as you hear them.
And we'll begin on the right side of the body.

This is very important effective. A soft voice, kind expression. It uses just the essential elements of nidra: intention, breath awareness, rotation of consciousness, with the added suggestion of sleep onset. Works for me every time.

At first I felt sort of let down by the self massage kind of contact, but then it brought kind of wholeness to myself that was overwhelming calming. My intellect, my feelings, my physicality all merged nicely and made things feel present. There was mindfulness quality which is an area where I struggle, I feel like Iβve spent the majority of my 41 years in the past or present, so moments like this, where I feel entirely in the present, the moment are truly gifts. I donβt intend to go to sleep now, but I can see it leading there and I do feel calm and restful. My post surgical pain is also calmed without the use of the very potent drug cocktail I have been perscribed. This ended up being a wonderful experience. Thank you.

Amazing. I didn't think I was going to fall asleep so I had my computer next to me to watch some videos on YouTube afterwards! I'm now awake the next day without watching any videos
