Deep Sleep Meditation

Drift off to a deep sleep with this short practice. It will help calm you down and provide you with a restful and nourishing night sleep. Using the same method used in a yoga class, we will slowly scan the body and use the rythym of our breath to calm our mind, body, and soul. Just like in shavasana at the end of a yoga class, we will melt into our mats for a healing night of rest.

Every part of my body became completely relaxed through this excellent guidance. I really appreciate that it was so fast! It was just what I needed. There was no "creepy" piano music either, but it might be better with slower music.
