Welcome.
This guided sleep meditation is an invitation to gently unwind and prepare your body and mind for rest.
This practice is best experienced when you're already in bed and ready to sleep for the night.
Create a calm and quiet space around you and make yourself comfortable now,
Allowing your body to settle into a position that feels supportive and cozy.
If your eyes are open,
Choose a soft place to rest your gaze.
When it feels natural,
Allow your eyes to close.
Bring your attention to your breath.
Take a slow,
Easy inhale and gently exhale,
Letting your body soften,
Again breathing in comfortably and breathing out,
Feeling yourself sink more deeply into the surface beneath you.
One more slow breath in,
And as you exhale,
Allow the day to begin to fade.
If thoughts arise,
There's nothing you need to do with them.
Simply notice them and gently return your attention to the sound of my voice.
Now,
Allow your body to relax,
Starting at the top of your head.
Let your forehead smooth,
Your eyes feel heavy and at ease,
Your jaw softens naturally,
And that relaxation flows down through your neck and shoulders,
Easing tension with each exhale.
Your arms rest comfortably,
Hands relaxed,
Fingers soft.
Your back unwinds,
Your abdomen softens,
Your hips release,
That sense of ease continues down through your thighs,
Into your toes and feet.
Just take a moment to appreciate your body for all it has carried today.
Good.
Now imagine that you are floating on a feather,
I'm going to count from seven down to one while you gently float on the feather,
And with each number you relax more deeply.
When I reach the number one,
Your feather will delicately land in a beautiful place that your mind chooses.
Seven.
Feel yourself comfortably swaying on the feather as it drifts slowly down,
Gently rocking.
Feel a gentle breeze on your cheeks as you sway,
Halfway there now,
Deeper into relaxation,
Slowly,
Two,
Doubling your relaxation as you drift peacefully down.
Your feather gracefully lands with you in it,
Feeling light and relaxed.
Now step off the feather and take in the beauty of the place that surrounds you,
A place of love,
A place of truth,
And just take a moment to appreciate the beauty around you.
What you need to do right now is allow your body and mind to relax.
You sleep all the way through the night,
More and more you fall asleep within moments of lying down.
The most important thing you need right now is sleep,
And that's okay.
Now it's time to rest.
You deserve a peaceful night's sleep.
Your body restores itself while you sleep,
So you wake up feeling incredible.
But for now,
You rest.
Let go of the sound of my voice as you continue to relax into a deep,
Wonderful slumber.
If you happen to stir before it's time to get up,
You easily and effortlessly return to your rested sleeping state within a few seconds.
You wake up feeling rested and relaxed.
Your body is rejuvenated and your mind is focused,
And you have the most wonderful day But for now,
You rest.
