Five Minute Pre-Sleep Meditation

This five-minute, voice-only meditation offers a simple way to transition into sleep. With nothing in the background, the attention can rest easily on the body and breath, without distraction. The guidance is light and unforced, creating space for the mind to settle on its own. From there, you can let yourself drift naturally into sleep.

Whether you're sitting, Or already lying in bed, Let this be the moment you stop carrying the day. Nothing else needs to be figured out tonight. No reviewing. No improving. No fixing. Just let it all go. Feel the body as it is right now. The weight of it. The contact with the bed or the chair. And feel all the internal rhythms. You've spent all day maintaining a sense of self. Responding. Deciding. Doing. This project of staying awake and keeping it all together, It's allowed to pause now. You don't have to hold anything together. Just let it all come apart. Just let the body descend. Allow everything to slow down. There's no need to even finish this meditation. Allow everything to get less defined. Allow the structures of life to just fade away. There's nowhere to go. Nothing to accomplish. Nothing else to understand. Allow all of your efforts to dissolve. Just feel the warmth. Feel this quiet descent. And rest with the confidence that tomorrow you'll begin again fresh. But for now, Just rest. Let everything soften, Dissolve, And drift away. You
