Welcome to this guided sleep meditation.
This is your time to completely relax,
To let go,
And to drift off into a deep,
Peaceful sleep.
Right now,
There's nothing else you need to do but just listen to the sound of my voice and allow yourself to completely relax more deeply with each and every word because you're here to rest,
To release,
And to feel at ease.
So begin by focusing on your breathing.
Feel each breath moving gently in and out,
And with each inhale,
Welcome in calmness and peace,
And with each exhale,
Release any stress,
Any worries,
Letting go with every breath.
Just allow each breath to soften,
Softening you more and more,
Bringing you further into relaxation,
And as you inhale,
Your belly rises,
And as you exhale,
Your belly falls.
Inhale the belly rises,
And exhale the belly falls,
Easily and naturally,
Breathing in and breathing out.
Now,
Bring your awareness to your body,
And noticing where your body is touching the bed or the couch,
Wherever you're lying down,
Just notice where your body is resting.
Feel the weight of your body sinking,
Relaxing,
And softening,
Sinking,
Relaxing,
And softening more.
Now,
Let your shoulders drop,
Feel your neck release any tension,
Drops,
Fades away,
And let your arms and legs grow heavy and relaxed.
Heavy and relaxed,
Your arms and legs feel so heavy and so relaxed,
And you soon notice your entire body is softening,
Sinking,
Melting into a state of calm and tranquility,
Simply allowing yourself to be here,
Letting go with each and every breath you take.
And now,
Easily and naturally,
Turn your awareness to your thoughts.
Imagine your thoughts as soft,
Light clouds in the sky,
Gently passing by,
Rolling in and rolling out.
Any thoughts that appear,
Simply let them drift in and out,
Rolling in and out,
Leaving your mind clear,
Open,
And ready to rest,
Because you deserve to rest,
Yes you do,
And there's nothing holding you here,
There's nothing holding you back to relaxation.
Just let each thought float away,
Like clouds on a breeze,
Leaving your mind clear and clear,
Relaxing more and more,
Deeper and deeper still,
And as you listen to my voice,
In just a moment,
I wonder if you can imagine a staircase before you,
10 steps going down,
And there's a door at the bottom,
And the door at the bottom leads to a magical beach house by the ocean,
Where you'll find rest and relaxation,
And in just a moment,
You'll stand at the top of these 10 steps going down,
And each step you take relaxes you even deeper,
And at the bottom of these 10 steps is a door,
And that door leads to a sandy beach,
And there's a magical beach house waiting for you,
So you can fully relax and settle on this sandy beach,
Now imagine yourself at the top of these 10 steps,
Looking down to the door at the bottom of these 10 steps,
And with each step you take,
You'll go deeper into calmness,
Further into relaxation,
Now let's begin,
Take that step 10,
Already feeling a wave of calm washing over you,
9,
Another step down,
Feeling lighter,
As though you're releasing all your tension,
8,
Deeper,
Sinking into relaxation,
Letting go of all your cares,
7,
Another step,
Feeling your body grow heavier and heavier,
More and more at ease,
6,
Moving down further,
Deeper into calmness,
Deeper into peace,
5,
Halfway there,
Feeling your mind soften,
Completely at ease,
4,
Every breath drawing you further into stillness,
Into silence,
Settling,
Deeper and deeper,
3,
Deeper and deeper still,
Feeling safe and secure,
As you listen to the sound of my voice,
2,
Almost there,
A wave of calmness flowing over you,
Knowing you're almost to that door,
To that peaceful sandy beach,
1,
Reaching the final step,
Feeling completely relaxed,
Ready to open the door,
Now open the door to the sandy beach,
You feel the air on your skin,
The air is warm,
The sky is painted with the colors of a gentle sunset,
Casting a golden light over everything,
Feel the sand beneath your feet,
Cool and soft,
Grounding you into this peaceful,
Magical place,
Noticing the gentle waves,
Rolling in and rolling out,
And their rhythm,
Matching your breath,
Calming you,
Soothing you,
Sinking,
Settling,
Deeper and deeper,
And in the distance,
You see a charming beach house,
With a cozy porch,
This is your sanctuary,
A place of peace and comfort,
Designed just for you,
And as you walk closer,
You notice a comfortable chair,
And a soft,
Inviting bed set,
Out on the porch,
Just for you,
Waiting for you,
And as you approach,
As you get closer and closer to this beach house,
You feel a deep sense of peace,
Washing over you,
This beach house feels like home,
Like a retreat for your soul,
And now you settle into the bed,
Feeling its softness,
How it cradles and supports you,
And you start to sink,
Deeper and deeper,
Into comfort and peace,
And as you're lying in this bed,
Imagine the warmth of the sun,
Setting,
And it's embracing you,
Feeling you with calmness and relaxation,
And as you sink into this cozy spot,
The sun sets completely,
And the stars come out,
And you gaze out into the stars,
And your eyes start to settle,
The stars are so relaxing,
As you hear the waves crashing against the shore,
As you're in this most comfortable beach house,
Your sanctuary,
Drifting off,
And fading away,
Into the softness and stillness,
Under the starlight,
And just let your body grow,
Heavier,
Relax,
Sinking further into the bed,
And notice how it is,
To simply let go,
And be held by this sanctuary,
Supported and safe,
Every sound,
Every gentle wave,
Carries you deeper,
Soothing your mind,
Softening your body,
Inviting you to sleep,
Feel yourself sinking deeper,
And deeper,
Into this perfect,
Peaceful place,
Listening to the waves,
Roll in,
And roll out,
Allowing your mind to drift off,
And fade away,
Into the most healing rest,
Calm,
Peaceful,
And restorative sleep.
