Good evening.
Welcome to this special time of rest.
A sacred space where you can allow your mind,
Body and spirit to fully unwind.
As we journey together into this peaceful sleep meditation,
I invite you to leave behind the worries of the day.
Here in this moment,
There is nothing you need to do.
Nothing you need to achieve.
Only a soft,
Soothing descent into deep,
Restorative sleep.
By focusing on your breath and allowing yourself to be present with each sensation,
Each moment you will find a deep sense of relaxation washing over you.
Know that you are held in a space of warmth and compassion.
Every breath nurtures deep calm and tranquility.
Allow yourself to be embraced by this peaceful energy as you prepare to enter a restful and rejuvenating sleep.
Allowing yourself to get super comfortable and cozy.
Snuggle your duvet around you.
Plump up your pillow.
Feel the support of the surface beneath you,
Cradling your body,
Holding you with care.
Allow yourself to settle.
Letting go of any tension or discomfort.
Maybe you need to stretch or wiggle or move around a little first.
Take your time,
And then come to a moment of stillness when you're ready.
Close your eyes and take a cleansing,
Rich breath in through your nose and slowly release through your mouth.
Inhaling through your nose and take a deep sigh out of release.
Take a moment to breathe and bring your awareness to your breath.
Notice the natural rhythm of your breathing,
The gentle rise and fall of your abdomen.
No need to change anything.
Simply observe and be present to each inhalation and exhalation.
Each breath,
Allowing yourself to become more grounded and more at ease.
Nothing to do but rest.
Allow the crown of your head to feel heavy and soft.
Imagine a warm,
Soothing light.
Radiating warmth and serenity.
Feel it spread slowly through your forehead,
Relaxing every muscle,
Smoothing away any frowns or tightness.
Feel the light moving down over your temples,
Your eyes,
Your cheeks,
Bringing a deep sense of relaxation to your entire face.
This soothing light continues to flow down your neck,
Releasing any tension,
Moving into your shoulders,
Allowing them to drop and rest more deeply into the surface beneath you.
Feel this warm light flowing into your arms all the way down to your fingertips,
Easing all the tension and tension that you may have in your neck and shoulders.
Feel this warm light flowing into your arms all the way down to your fingertips,
Easing away any residue or tension.
Bring your awareness and the light to the chest and heart center.
Imagining this light pooling here,
Warming your heart with love and compassion.
With every breath,
Feel your heart expanding with peace,
Letting go of any worries or stress.
Let the light flow down into your abdomen,
Releasing any tightness.
Continue its journey down through your legs and all the way to your toes.
Continue its journey down through your legs and all the way to your toes.
As your body becomes enveloped in this warm,
Soothing light,
Feel yourself sinking deeper into relaxation.
Imagine yourself floating on a gentle,
Calm sea,
The waves soft and slow gently rocking you back and forth,
Feeling yourself being carried further into a state of deep peace.
Your body becoming heavy,
Held,
Soothed,
Feeling warm,
Content,
Relaxed.
Feel yourself being held in a cocoon of tranquility.
You're safe.
You are loved.
You are peaceful.
You are warm and content.
Let your breath be a gentle whisper,
Barely noticeable.
Let your breath be a gentle whisper,
Barely noticeable.
Imagine that each exhale,
You are releasing the final remnants of any tension,
Any thought,
Any worry.
Each inhale brings in a sense of peace and stillness.
Allow the silence and stillness of the night to envelop you completely.
Allow the silence and stillness of the night to envelop you completely.
There is nothing more you need to do.
Your body knows how to rest,
How to restore and how to heal.
Trust in this process.
Let go.
Let go.
Let go.
And allow yourself to drip gently into the embrace of deep,
Restful sleep.
Each inhale,
Bring in a sense of peace and stillness.
Each exhale offers you the deep release,
Space of being held,
Nurtured,
Cocooned.
Warm.
You are safe.
You are loved.
You are peaceful.
You are restful.
You can be carried into a deep,
Restorative sleep.
Let go.
Let go.
Let go.
