Welcome to this sleep meditation practice with Warrior 2 Yoga,
Dedicated to embracing the tranquil night and finding deep relaxation to lull you into a restful sleep.
Start by finding a comfortable position in your bed,
Adjust your body so that you feel completely at ease,
Gently close your eyes and take a few moments to tune into your breath and the sensations of your body.
Take a few slow deep breaths,
With each inhale imagine drawing in relaxation and calmness.
With each exhale release any tensions or thoughts that might be lingering in your mind,
Follow the natural rhythm of your inhales and your exhales,
Feel the gentle rise and fall of your belly with each breath,
Anchoring yourself to this present moment.
Imagine each inhale carrying with it a soothing and calming energy and every exhale releasing any stress or worries.
Allow your breath to be your anchor,
Bringing you back to this peaceful state whenever your mind starts to wander.
Take a moment to notice the subtle sensations in your body,
Feel the softness of your bed against your skin,
The gentle support the mattress beneath you and the warmth of the blankets cocooning your body.
Take a deep breath in savouring the feeling of relaxation and ease that this moment brings and as you exhale release any tension or restlessness,
Allowing a deep sense of rest to settle within your body.
Moving deeper into a state of profound relaxation,
Starting at your toes can you gently relax each part of your body,
Releasing any tension and embracing a sense of tranquility.
Let yourself fully surrender to this calming experience as we begin the journey to a peaceful and restful state.
Focus your attention on your toes,
Feel a sense of warmth and comfort spreading throughout each toe.
Imagine the tension melting away,
Leaving your toes completely relaxed and at ease.
Moving your awareness up to your feet and your ankles,
Feel a wave of relaxation washing over this area,
Soothing any tiredness or discomfort in your feet and ankles.
Now bring your attention to your calves and your knees,
Allow any tension to dissolve as you breathe deeply,
Leaving your legs feeling light and at rest.
Continuing to relax your body,
Moving your awareness up to your thighs and your hips,
Let go of any holding or tightness in this area,
Allowing your whole lower body to fully unwind.
Shifting your awareness now to your lower back and your belly,
Feel a sense of release as you breathe deeply into this area,
Letting any stress or discomfort dissipate.
Bring your attention to your chest and your upper back,
Breathe into this space,
Feel your chest expand with each inhale and soften with each exhale.
Focusing now on your shoulders and your arms,
Allowing any tension to melt away,
Leaving your shoulders and your arms feeling weightless and relaxed.
Move your awareness up to your neck and your throat,
Release any tightness,
Letting your neck feel supple and free.
And finally bringing your attention to your head and your face,
Letting go of any furrowing in your brow,
Any clenching in your jaw and allow your entire face to soften.
With your whole body now in a state of deep relaxation,
Return to the tranquility of the night.
Visualise yourself sitting in a serene,
Secluded garden under the dark sky.
The night air is cool and refreshing,
Cradling you in its embrace.
A gentle breeze brushes against your skin,
Creating a sense of tranquility.
Allow yourself to connect with the qualities of the night.
Feel a sense of deep calmness spreading through your body,
Soothing every muscle and easing any thoughts or concerns.
Embrace the quiet contemplation that the night offers.
Allow your mind to unwind and find stillness.
As you sit in this garden,
You listen to the sounds of the night,
The gentle rustling of leaves,
The soft whisper of the wind,
The gentle hum of your house at night.
These natural melodies bring a sense of calmness and peace,
Lulling you further into a state of deep relaxation.
You decide to lie down on the soft grassy ground,
Looking up at the night sky above.
The stars twinkle brightly and the moon shines with a gentle glow.
As you gaze at the beautiful night sky,
You feel a connection to the vastness of the universe and the profound peace that this vastness holds.
In this moment,
There is no need to rush or worry.
You are safe and supported in this peaceful garden of the night.
Allow yourself to be fully present,
Immersed in the tranquility of the darkness around you.
The night holds a special energy,
An energy of surrender,
Of letting go and of embracing the present moment.
As you lie under the dark canvas of the sky,
You feel completely safe and at peace.
In this tranquil night garden,
You are free to let go of any worries,
Thoughts or concerns.
Allow yourself to be present in this moment,
Feeling the deep stillness and tranquility of the night enveloping you.
Continue to breathe slowly and deeply,
Attuning your breath to the rhythm of the night.
And as you continue to relax,
Imagine a soft radiant light gently descending from the night sky.
This light is warm and comforting,
Bringing a sense of healing and peace.
Let the light slowly envelop your body,
Starting from the top of your head and moving down to your toes.
Feel its soothing touch,
As if the night itself is wrapping you in its loving embrace.
With each passing moment,
You feel more and more at ease,
Cocooned in the tender care of the night.
Any worries or restlessness begin to melt away,
Replaced by a deep sense of tranquility.
And as the night's gentle energy continues to flow through you,
You become aware of a soft,
Soothing hum that resonates with your being.
This hum is a healing vibration,
Infusing every cell of your body with comfort and rejuvenation.
Allow yourself to fully surrender to this healing hum.
Knowing that it is nurturing your body,
Your mind and your soul.
Feel the night's embrace supporting you,
Cradling you in its tender care.
And as you lie in this serene night garden,
Feel yourself becoming one with the night,
Merging with its stillness.
There is nothing to do,
Nowhere to be.
Just simply being in this moment,
In the gentle arms of the night.
Continue to carry with you this tranquil energy of the night,
Knowing that you can tap into this stillness and calmness whenever you need.
And on this soft,
Grassy ground of your night garden,
Feel the gentle night breeze caressing your skin.
Let the soothing sounds of nature embrace you.
As you lie here,
Feel the night's tranquility wrapping around you like a comforting blanket.
Surrender to the stillness and calmness of the night.
Allow yourself to drift deeper and deeper into sleep.
In the embrace of the night,
You are safe,
You are calm and you are supported.
In the embrace of the night,
You are safe,
You are calm and you are supported.
Trust that as you drift off to sleep,
The night will hold you gently in its arms,
Guiding you into a restful and rejuvenating slumber.
Let the night's stillness and tranquility guide you into sleep.
As you surrender to the night,
May your dreams be gentle and comforting,
Allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed.
Rest now,
Knowing that you are held in the loving embrace of the night.
And may your sleep be peaceful and undisturbed.
