Welcome into this deep sleep meditation to allow yourself a space to truly switch off Do not feel as though you need to solve anything to allow the thinking mind have a break and to feel as though you can go into rest without things being sorted or solved giving yourself space to really relax into this space Recognizing that there is nowhere else you need to be.
And how good that feels to lie here.
Simply knowing there's nowhere I need to be feeling into that wave of relief a wave of relief that there is nothing you need to figure out Can you allow yourself to enjoy that feeling of not needing to solve anything?
Tonight you can simply rest minutes you start to get more and more comfortable.
Allow yourself to take slow easy breaths Breathing in.
And breathing out.
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
This slow gentle rhythm guiding you into this practice and into your rest with rhythm.
Being held.
Allowing your body to enjoy that breath Allowing your belly or chest to rise and fall as you breathe.
And just giving your body space to realize the day is over Often we rush into sleep with no real wind down And sometimes our mind doesn't fully receive the message that the day is over Allow yourself to soak that message up.
The day is done.
It's over.
So whatever happened today or whatever didn't happen Whatever you might wish had gone differently whatever you might still be thinking about.
You can put it down for tonight.
Another wave of relief as you realize that.
Nothing needs to be solved tonight Nothing needs to be worked out tonight.
Nothing needs to be decided tonight.
You you have permission to stop And as you settle here noticing the weight of your body beneath you allowing the bed to hold you.
Allowing your head to neck to be held by the pillow.
No longer are you holding.
Instead,
You're being out sensing that warmth all around you the cocoon,
Womb-like feeling of your bed.
Allowing your forehead to soften.
All the little muscles around your eyes softening now.
Is your body.
Feels heavier and heavier.
So good to rest,
So good to be held And you start to feel your jaw naturally unclench.
Naturally soften.
You release that tension in your jaw,
In your mouth.
You and so naturally your shoulders begin to drop It feels so good to allow your shoulders to soften.
They want to soften They don't want to keep holding.
The weight of the world comes off your shoulders so naturally so easily.
Your stomach begins to follow this softness You sense your stomach releasing,
Softening no longer holding.
Your stomach realizes this message that there's no more it needs to do you just not need to brace or to hold it too can soften.
It too can release.
Your hands become wonderfully heavy so heavy that they feel as though they wouldn't want to move.
They wouldn't want to carry.
That all they feel they want to do is to rest and to be.
There is nothing you need to do.
Good it feels that no one needs anything from you How good it feels that there are no decisions to be made how good it feels that there are no conversations that need to be rehearsed or thought through No problem that needs your attention because tonight you can stop thinking and you can stop holding and any time your mind brings something to you you don't need to fight it just simply saying not tonight tomorrow is enough.
I can come back to this when I am rested Imagining now that the whole day is gently leaving you.
Perhaps you can imagine placing everything you have been carrying onto a beautiful table beside your bed all the conversations.
The worries you've had.
The plans you've been making.
All those unanswered questions the things you wish you had or hadn't said.
Or things you don't know yet?
One by one you can place them down.
Placing them on that beautiful magical bedside table that can happily hold any worries and hold the day so that you don't have to how good it feels to place these things on the bedside table.
To give up control of fear to put everything to one side and to remember who you are outside of all those thoughts and worries me remember you are far more than those thoughts and worries you realize that future you will figure it all out.
But the present you gets to rest present you needs to rest and deserves to rest you Resting deeper and deeper as you soak in these words and affirmations I don't need to figure everything out.
I don't need to know what happens next I don't need to have all the answers I don't need to make any decisions tonight.
I don't need to find the perfect solution I don't need to replay the day I don't need to rehearse tomorrow I don't need to predict what other people will do I don't need to prepare for every possibility I can let tomorrow be tomorrow Tonight I caress.
I can leave some things unanswered I can leave some things unfinished I can leave some things unknown.
You Not everything needs my attention right now.
Not everything needs my energy Not everything needs to be understood tonight my mind does not need to work all night to keep me safe I am allowed to switch off Let me allow to stop searching.
I am allowed to stop checking.
I am allowed to stop analysing I am allowed to stop going over things all of my decisions can wait all of the answers i think i need can wait all of the emails can wait.
All of the problems can wait.
In tomorrow i'll have more energy than i have tonight because tonight I choose rest.
I don't need to solve things tonight I don't need to think my way to safety.
I can simply allow myself to be held I can trust that sleep is enough for tonight My body knows how to rest.
My body knows how to soften My body knows how to sleep You don't have to make sleep happen.
I can simply create the space for it I can let go.
I can soften My mind can become quiet.
I can let my thoughts pass without following them my thoughts can arrive and leave my worries can arrive and leave we don't have to go with it you you you you you I don't need to figure everything out.
