Quiet A Racing Mind For Sleep

If your mind starts running the moment your head touches the pillow, this practice is for you. A calm voice guides you out of the loop of thoughts, one step at a time, and toward rest. Underneath, bilateral stimulation, gentle sound moving slowly from ear to ear in the same left and right rhythm used in EMDR therapy, helps the body settle as the mind quietens. You do not need to do anything well here; simply listen and let the rhythm carry you. Please use headphones, as the left and right movement is lost without them. This practice is for relaxation and sleep and is not a substitute for professional help. Created by Begüm Engür, Clinical Psychologist & European Accredited EMDR Therapist.

Welcome to this deep sleep meditation. A big warm welcome by me. I'm so glad you're here. While doing this practice, Pay attention to the sound in the background and notice how you start feeling through. As you are preparing yourself to sleep. Make sure you're as comfortable as possible. Close your eyes. Take a nice deep breath into the count of four. And exhale fully to the count of seven. Keep breathing this way until you start feeling peace and serenity within. Let any tension you might be holding out from you. Beginning from your feet up to your head. Notice your body beginning to become lighter and relaxed. Pay attention to your emotions and how your body is. The very present moment. Notice how your mind becomes quiet. Notice how the moment is still. You are tranquil. You are completely safe and secure at this moment. Let the safety and security spread all through your body. Allow it and accept it to sink into every cell of your body. You are sinking gradually toward a healing and peaceful moment. Calmness and tranquility.
