Sleep is the most universal medicine.
Every night your body and mind return to a sanctuary of renewal.
Tonight you are invited to receive that gift fully.
Welcome to this deep sleep journey.
This meditation helps your body and mind return to complete rest,
Healing and renewal.
Even if sleep takes its time tonight,
Your body is still receiving deep rest.
There is no rush.
Sleep always comes when it is ready.
Find your way into perfect stillness now.
Notice how the ground beneath you is holding you,
Supporting you completely.
Feel the weight of your body being received,
Welcomed into rest.
Your only task now is to arrive here,
Fully in this moment of letting go.
Close your eyes when you are ready to begin this journey inward.
You have permission to move,
To adjust,
To find your perfect position of comfort.
You are completely in control of how you rest.
Breathe in complete peace through your nose.
Hold this healing breath and release it slowly,
Offering your concerns to the gentle darkness that surrounds you.
You are doing so well.
One more breath,
Drawing in pure calm,
Holding space for yourself and letting out the day,
Releasing what no longer serves your peace.
You are doing so well.
Once more,
Breathing in perfect stillness,
Holding this quiet moment and breathing out into the arms of sleep,
Into the sanctuary of deep rest,
Where your mind goes to be renewed.
Your breathing will find its own rhythm now,
Natural and easy.
Each breath will carry you deeper into this space of letting go.
You can trust your body to breathe for you while your mind begins to wander and drift.
You are doing so well.
So very well.
Let's begin with your face,
The place where you hold so much tension.
Allow your jaw to soften,
Teeth slightly apart.
Let your tongue rest gently in your mouth.
Release the muscles around your eyes,
Your forehead,
Your temples.
Feel your face becoming smooth as still water.
That's exactly right.
You are doing so well.
Now,
Let this softness flow down into your neck and shoulders.
Feel those shoulders dropping away from your ears.
Imagine someone lifting a heavy weight off your shoulders.
Feel that relief moving down your arms.
Your arms become loose,
Heavy,
Completely at rest.
You may notice a gentle heaviness in one hand or a light floating sensation in the other.
Some people feel a pleasant warmth,
Others a cold stillness.
And,
Sometimes,
One hand feels heavier than the other or perhaps one arm feels more relaxed.
It doesn't matter what you experience.
Your body knows exactly how to rest.
Some people feel warmth spreading through their arms.
Others notice tingling.
Others feel nothing at all.
Whatever you experience is perfect for you.
You are doing so well.
So beautifully well.
Let this wave of release continue down your chest.
Your ribs expanding and contracting with each gentle breath.
Your heart beating steadily,
Calmly,
Taking care of you.
Feel your stomach and back releasing,
Softening,
Letting go of everything held there.
And now your hips,
Your thighs,
Your knees,
All the muscles in your legs becoming loose and heavy,
Down through your calves,
Your ankles,
To the tips of your toes.
Your whole body now resting completely,
Sinking,
Settling,
Supported.
You are doing so well.
You are doing so very well.
And I wonder whether your left leg or your right feels more deeply relaxed or maybe it's both legs now or perhaps it's just your whole body floating without needing to decide anything.
There's nothing you need to figure out.
You can simply let go.
All the systems within you,
Your breath,
Your heartbeat,
Your nervous system,
Are working in perfect harmony now.
You don't have to do anything.
Your body knows how to sleep.
Your deeper wisdom knows how to guide you into rest.
And now,
As your body settles completely,
Your unconscious mind can gently begin to take over,
Guiding you deeper into healing,
Deeper into rest.
Even as your conscious mind begins to drift and wander,
You have both a thinking mind that processes the world and a deeper intelligence that knows how to rest.
Your thinking mind notices sounds,
Sensations,
The activity of the day,
But your deeper self remembers how to return to complete peace,
How to travel beyond the busy thoughts to be restored in the infinite calm that's always available to you.
Allow your deeper wisdom to guide you now.
Back to the place of perfect stillness.
You are doing so well,
Trusting,
Now that your body is completely still,
Your unconscious mind,
The quiet intelligence within,
Can guide this journey.
It knows exactly how to take you where you need to go for healing,
Peace and renewal.
Imagine you're floating on a vast lake of liquid starlight.
The water holds you like infinite acceptance,
Perfectly safe,
Warm and welcoming.
As your body rests deeply on the earth,
Your inner self can float freely into this vast night sky,
Into this cosmic embrace.
This is the lake of pure consciousness,
Where all minds come to rest and remember perfect peace.
With each breath,
You drift deeper into this cosmic embrace,
Not swimming,
Not trying,
Just surrendering to the gentle current that knows exactly where to take you.
The shores of your daily concerns grow distant.
Your day dissolves into stardust.
Your thoughts become whispers in the vast quiet.
You are floating in the peaceful space between worlds.
Between your busy self and your resting self.
You are doing so well,
Dissolving,
Releasing.
In this space,
There is only love,
Only peace,
Only the gentle rhythm of the universe breathing through you.
In this space,
Your body remembers its perfect blueprint for healing,
Your mind remembers the stillness before thought,
Your deepest self remembers its connection to the source of all rest.
You're floating in the gentle darkness between heartbeats.
Between breaths of life.
Between one moment of peace and the next.
Floating,
Dissolving,
Returning to the love from which you came.
You are doing so well.
So perfectly well.
And now,
Just allow yourself to dissolve into peace.
Dissolving into peace.
Dissolving into peace.
Dissolving into peace.
You are doing so well.
Dissolving into peace.
Dissolving into peace.
Dissolving into peace.
Dissolving into peace.

Every breath takes you deeper.
Dissolving into peace.
Dissolving into peace.

You are doing so well.
So beautifully well.
Dissolving into peace.
Dissolving into peace.
Completely safe.
Dissolving into peace.
Dissolving into peace.
Your deeper self knows this path.
Dissolving into peace.
Dissolving into peace.
And now,
You can let yourself sink even deeper into the space where your mind completely lets go.
You are doing so beautifully well.
Allowing yourself to drift.
Allowing yourself to surrender to the gentle rhythm of rest.
Your unconscious mind knows exactly how deep to take you.
You are doing so well.
Perfectly safe.
Perfectly supported.
And you can begin to let yourself sink into deep sleep now.
That's right.
Deep sleep now.
You are doing so well.
