Hey there my friend,
Welcome to this guided talk down and body scan.
I recommend that you begin this practice only once you're already in a comfortable position and fully prepared to fall asleep.
Having set any alarms or sleep timers,
Having put away any electronic devices and turned out the lights.
And if you'd like to press pause and rejoin after you've done that,
Then feel free to do so.
If you haven't already,
Gently,
Softly,
And slowly begin to flutter your eyes closed,
As though the weight of your eyelids is slowly taking over and you can no longer resist the desire to rest.
And once your eyes are closed all the way,
Feel the muscles of your eyes relax.
And just enjoy this first moment of complete freedom and peace.
There's nothing left to do today,
Nothing left to say.
This time is for you and you alone.
You've earned it and you deserve to relax and rest.
So allow that sense of softness and ease behind your eyes to spread to your forehead,
Your cheeks,
The crown of your head,
Your jaw,
Just allowing your entire head to soften down and relax completely.
It's as though there's a light switch which turns each part of your body on and off.
And you've just flipped that switch for every muscle in your head all the way off.
That's right.
And then you can guide that wave of relaxation down from your head,
Into your neck and your shoulders,
Feeling that softness arrive,
All of the tension easing its way out.
And from there,
Sending that wave of relaxation down your left arm,
First passing through your upper arm,
Across your elbow,
And into your forearm,
Over your wrist,
Through your palm,
And into each and every corner of your fingertips.
And as that sense of relaxation completely fills your left arm,
You can imagine turning the switch off and feeling it soften completely.
And now you can do the same thing in your right arm,
Leading that wave of softness and relaxation all the way down from your right shoulder,
Through your right upper arm,
The elbow,
The forearm,
Through the wrist,
Into the palm,
And each of your fingertips.
And turning the switch off there in your right arm as well.
And with both of your arms now completely relaxed,
You can send that wave of relaxation further down your chest,
Into your torso,
Relaxing each and every muscle of your back and your abdominals.
And that sense of softness penetrating every cell of your body,
Spreading further and further until your entire upper body is completely at ease.
Softening down deeper and deeper.
And next,
Turning to the legs and sending that wave of relaxation down the left leg,
Through your left thigh,
Across the knee,
Down through the shin and calf,
Through the ankle,
Across the foot,
And into every last corner of your toes.
And once that wave of relaxation has spread through your whole left leg,
You can take that final step and flip the switch to turn it off completely.
And feeling it relax even more all the way down.
And then moving over to the right leg,
Leading that relaxation through this last portion of your body,
Passing through the thigh,
Around the knee,
Through the shin and the calf,
Across the ankle,
And into the foot,
And all the way to the tip of each toe.
Feeling that sense of softness arrive as you flip that switch to turn it all the way off for the night.
And lastly,
Zooming out on your whole body,
Envisioning yourself resting there,
Completely at ease,
Completely relaxed,
Completely at peace.
And as you envision yourself resting there,
Making your way into sleep on your own time and in your own way,
You can imagine flipping that one final switch for your entire being,
That when turned off,
Allows you to sink deeper and deeper into a peaceful sleep.
And as you do that,
You can imagine your whole body lasting all night long,
And leading you to wake up in the morning,
Feeling completely refreshed and rejuvenated.
And it doesn't matter if your mind wanders off or at what point you inevitably fall asleep,
Because your subconscious mind is always listening.
And that is where your true power resides.
So just relax and enjoy this time for quiet and calm,
Where there's no one to bother you and nothing to do.
And that's such a nice feeling,
Isn't it?
Rest your attention on that steady rise and fall of your own breath,
And allow these positive,
Uplifting,
And relaxing ideas to seep into the deepest corners of your own mind.
I am grateful for the day I just lived.
I am glad to be here.
I am ready to let go.
I welcome a peaceful night's sleep.
I am safe.
I am loved.
I am protected.
My mind and body are calm and at ease.
I deserve a good night's rest.
I trust my body and mind to fall asleep on their own time and in their own way.
With each breath,
I am sinking deeper into relaxation.
I am letting go of all worries and stress.
I release everything that is beyond my control.
I appreciate this time just to be by myself.
I can let my mind wander wherever it wants.
And if it goes somewhere that I don't like,
Then I can always guide it somewhere else.
I deserve this time to unwind.
I am connecting to the beat of my heart and the rhythm of my breath.
I am letting go of what does not serve me.
I have everything I need in this moment.
And that's such a good feeling.
I am so grateful for this time to relax and rejuvenate myself.
I am detaching from any goals or desires in this moment.
I am simply appreciating this quiet time for myself.
I am leaving this day behind.
I trust in my body's natural ability to fall asleep when it's ready.
There's nothing I need to do or worry about right now.
In this moment,
I am completely free from problems and worries.
I am thankful for all the experiences I had today.
My body is beautiful,
And my mind is brilliant.
I am surrounded by love and peace.
My life is a blessing.
I am so grateful to be me.
I am letting go and trusting in the universe.
I deserve to be treated with kindness,
Care,
And respect.
So I always treat myself with kindness,
Care,
And respect.
As each moment passes,
My mind grows more calm and more still.
With each slow and steady breath,
My body relaxes deeper and deeper.
I am at peace with the way things are.
There's no need to worry about things I cannot change.
Simply resting here feels so nice.
I am content in this moment.
Right now,
I am completely free.
As each moment passes,
I am drawn closer to a deep and restful sleep.
I am simply enjoying this time where I have nowhere to be,
Nothing to do,
And no obligations.
I am relaxing the muscles of my face.
I am softening all of the tension in my body.
I am drifting deeper and deeper within.
I am free from frustration and anxiety.
My breath is growing softer and slower.
I am completely at ease.
In the morning,
I will wake up refreshed and excited for a break.
I will enjoy these opportunities for stillness and silence.
I am at peace with my thoughts.
I am letting go more and more.
I am focused on the positive things in my life.
I have so much to be grateful for.
I am loving the journey of my life.
This time for rest and sleep will heal me.
I am prioritizing my well-being.
I am becoming a better version of myself every single day.
I am learning to love my sleep.
I am looking forward to a journey in the land of dreams tonight.
I am getting the rest I deserve.
I trust that my body knows how to sleep and how to heal itself.
