Hey,

It's Cyrus and welcome to this hyper relaxation sleep meditation that's going to help you sleep so deeply and rest and relax so fully you wake up saying,

Wow,

I didn't know I could feel this relaxed and rested.

So if that sounds good,

Go ahead and get your surroundings conducive to a deep relaxation and sleep.

Maybe make the room nice and cool and dark and eliminate any distractions.

And when you feel ready,

Crawl gently into bed and find a comfortable position,

Maybe a shavasana straight out on your back with your limbs nice and straight so that your energy is flowing freely or whatever position feels intuitive.

And just let yourself land,

Let yourself be nice and cozy and relaxed from the beginning as you settle in at your pace,

No rush,

Winding down already.

And we're going to do a few four,

Seven,

Eight breaths to consciously shift into relaxation mode.

So breathing in for a four count,

Now inhaling through the nose,

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Holding the breath for seven,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Exhaling for eight,

Out through the mouth,

Nice and slow and easy.

Again,

Finding a rhythm,

Enjoying that breath as you breathe in for four.

Holding for seven,

Feeling the body head to toe as you be present with that breath hold.

And slowly releasing out through the mouth,

Enjoying that exhalation as it flows out.

A little bit deeper on this next one,

Breathing in deep all the way down to the toes for four and holding,

Feeling the robustness of that breath as you hold head to toe.

And slowly letting go,

Letting it wash out like a wave,

Finding its way to shore.

Doing beautifully,

Let's do one last breath hold,

Nice and deep,

Breathing in for four.

Holding for seven,

Fully present now,

Savoring that clarity of the breath hold.

And the most rich and robust exhalation yet,

As you let go of all tension,

Letting the breath fall out of the mouth,

Nice and slow.

And just relish that state of relaxation that's starting to open up with the power of the breath.

And so that we can clear out any lingering stress or tension and truly sink into the deepest level of relaxation possible,

Start to notice any tension or stress that you're carrying from your day,

Any baggage that might be subtly floating around your system,

Just observe it from a non-judgmental curious distance for a moment.

And notice how it shows up in the body with a non-judgmental curiosity,

Again just noticing where it manifests,

What those sensations feel like,

Not fearing them or avoiding them,

But inviting them so they can make themselves known and process through the system in this moment.

And as it bubbles up and through,

Just allow that stress or tension or energy that wants to clear out to be felt fully.

Even if it's a little uncomfortable,

Just let it be,

Let it flow through without trying to avoid it,

Just watching the current of sensations as they make their way through the body with the attention in the moment.

And now imagine it like steam rising out of the system,

It doesn't want to stay stuck,

So just allow yourself to gradually begin to decompress and relax,

So all that baggage and stress can begin to evaporate and release into the sky,

Into the space around you.

Any part of you that's still hanging on to any stress or tension or baggage,

Just feel yourself safe to let it go now,

Relaxing effortlessly so it can lift easily on its own,

Just observing it flowing up and out through the body into the greater space that can easily handle it for you.

And in its wake,

Feel your body returning to its natural state of lightness,

Relaxed,

Open,

Spaciousness,

Effortless ease,

Opening and blooming into that easy flowing state.

And as you float easily in that space,

Let's begin to be meticulous and dedicated about your relaxation so that you can become hyper relaxed,

So deeply relaxed that you might have forgotten how deeply relaxed you can be.

And if that sounds like it would be good and soothing to you,

Simply begin to bring a loving,

Calming spotlight of attention to the tips of your toes and allow any tension in the toes to start to melt and soften.

And just gradually dropping the attention down into the feet,

Feeling the feet in their entirety and noticing any subtle holding or tension.

And without even trying,

Just allowing your intention and the light of awareness to allow the feet to soften slightly.

And now sliding the attention to the ankles and feeling the muscles around the ankles,

Relaxing,

Just imagining any tension expanding and softening.

And now curiously visiting your calf muscles,

Noticing what's happening within them at this moment and inviting the calf muscles to drop and relax into the support.

And now rising to the shin muscles and bones,

Feeling the tops of your lower legs and any holding that's happening there.

And simply allowing that holding to disperse and melt with ease.

Now noticing your knees and inquiring with them if they would like to relax as well,

And if so,

Just allowing them to.

And now traveling up to the quad muscles on the front of your thighs with a detail of attention.

And imagining any hard edges of tension in the quads,

Just turning into a pudding,

A soft muscular pudding.

And feeling the attention drip down into the hamstrings,

Feeling the attention dancing along the distance from the bottom of the hamstrings to the top.

And inviting them to drop into the support,

Releasing any tension.

Bringing the attention to the glute muscles and allowing any tension to soften.

And now feeling any holding in the pelvic bowl and allowing it to unwind at its own pace.

And now noticing the joints and muscles around the hips and feeling them softening over time.

Opening with the attention with ease.

And now feeling the entirety of your legs and feet at the same time,

Deeply relaxed in every facet.

Maybe even a little surprised at how relaxed your legs and feet can be,

And just allowing that relaxation to effortlessly deepen.

And as you continue to allow your legs and feet to float in pleasant,

Relaxation,

Just bring your attention to the belly.

And see if you can allow the breath to easily drop down into the belly and allow it to ease any tension,

Softening and opening.

And now noticing if there's any tension in the lower back.

And noticing if there's the tiniest bits of tension hiding there.

And feeling how as the attention cascades through that area,

It starts to melt,

All on its own.

And as you allow the attention to evaporate up into the upper back,

Just notice,

Do the shoulder blades feel even the slightest bit of tension?

The slightest bit tight,

Is there any tension that could start to relax even a little bit?

And allowing that precision of attention on the upper back to work its magic as you let that soften.

And allow the attention to ascend into the chest and burrow into your own heart with a loving awareness as you imagine it like a flower that's being watered by your attention.

And blooming into soft openness with each passing breath.

And feeling the entirety of your torso now,

Soft and easily expanding and contracting with each breath as it suspends itself in a state of easy open relaxation.

Feel it synchronizing with the open relaxation in the legs and feet.

And without missing a beat,

In rhythm,

Moving to the shoulders.

Feeling the spindles and bundles of muscles in the shoulders with an easy light touch of attention.

And feeling it turn into a soft open putty as you allow it to relax at its own easy pace.

And now drop into the triceps and feel the backs of your upper arms with a particular precise curiosity.

And feel any holding in the triceps opening up in rhythm with your steady relaxation.

And wrapping your attention around to the biceps,

Noticing any tension.

And feeling the tiniest microscopic bits of holding melting as you allow it to fall away.

And just lavishing and savoring the specificity and detail as you notice the elbows.

Inviting them,

If they feel so inclined,

To soften as you feel the attention cascade into the lower arms.

Feeling the forearms,

Softening any tension,

Any rigidity,

Just easily falling away.

And noticing the palms and backs of your hands.

And just feeling the palms and backs of your hands becoming so soft and open.

And letting the attention trickle into the fingers.

And feeling the little tiniest bits of tension that might be hiding out in the fingers.

And letting them collapse that tension into easy relaxation.

And feel the arms and hands up and down in a floating state of easy chillness.

Feel their relaxation communicating and connecting to what you've opened up in the torso and all the way down to the tips of the toes,

Flowing freely.

And allowing that to float there,

Bringing the attention to the front of the neck.

Imagine any tension there blossoming.

As you drop down to the back of the neck.

And likewise feel it softening ever so gently into the support.

As you slide the attention up to the back of the head.

And around to the sides of the head.

And the top of the head,

Feeling the entire scalp now.

And imagining the subtle fascia of the scalp softening and relaxing into its natural state.

Of ease.

And visiting the forehead with your clear spotlight.

Allowing any tension in the forehead or around the brow that might be furrowed ever so often to soften now.

And noticing the tiny muscles around and behind the eyes.

And allowing them to surrender into softness and to ease.

Feeling the nose and the muscles around the nose and sinuses.

And allowing them to dilate and open so the breathing feels easy and relaxed.

And taking a pit stop around the ears,

Feeling the inner ears and the earlobes and the muscles around the ears.

And letting that all soothingly soften and open so you're receiving sounds soothingly into your nervous system.

And noticing the lips and the tongue,

The musculature within the mouth.

And allowing it to soften into a comfortable state.

And sensing the jaw and the muscles around the jaw.

Letting it soften into the perfect place of relaxation.

As you notice the whole face and neck and head totally soft,

Relaxed and at ease.

And feel that connecting to the entirety of the body head to toe in a relaxed state now.

Allowing yourself to be pleasantly surprised at how deeply you can relax.

And allowing that to deepen without even trying,

Just allowing an even deeper layer of relaxation to wash through the entire body.

And allowing yourself to enjoy being relaxed,

Feeling that subtle buzz and vibration of life energy flowing easily through your entire system as you deepen in your relaxation.

And if it feels good and safe,

Just imagine yourself floating in a vast soothing space.

Maybe easily hanging out amongst the stars,

Floating as if you're in zero gravity.

And allowing your body to simply be suspended and supported by that space.

So that you can let go completely and feel the support carrying you moment to moment.

And if it feels good you might choose to feel your body merging with the energy of that space.

Becoming one with the vastness,

The inherent peace of that greater space.

And as you feel yourself melt into the space,

Allow yourself to experience your own deep stillness.

As relaxed as possible,

Basking in stillness.

Allow that to recharge you at a slow easy rhythm.

And whatever arises in your consciousness,

Feel yourself surrender it into the space with absolute ease.

Over going deeper into feeling relaxed stillness.

And letting go of whatever arises into that space of stillness.

Find that rhythm at your pace without any rush.

And when you wish to drift and walk through the door of deep restful sleep.

You can allow yourself to easily relax and walk through that door whenever it comes naturally.

But for now,

Just deepening the stillness.

Deepening the rhythm of letting go into the stillness of that space.

And have a lovely relaxed night.
