Welcome to this calming sleep meditation.
I'm Maggie,
Your sleep guide and angel.
I am so blessed that you are here.
I will help you drift into a peaceful and restorative slumber.
Tonight,
We'll create a sanctuary of rest for your mind and body.
There is no bell at the end of this meditation,
So that if you drift off to sleep,
Also know that your unconscious mind will still be absorbing the positive cues.
This meditation will guide you into deep relaxation,
Allowing your thoughts to settle and your body to release tension,
Preparing you for a rejuvenating sleep.
Don't worry about falling asleep.
This will just increase your anxiety and restlessness.
You can always repeat the meditation and fall asleep that way.
Just rest is important.
Let's begin by taking a deep inhale through your nose,
Holding it for just a moment,
And then exhaling slowly through your mouth.
Each time as you exhale,
Imagine releasing all of the energy of the stresses of the day.
Repeat this breath pattern at least three more times,
Each breath drawing you closer to relaxation.
As you settle into your space,
Allow your body to sink deeper into the surface beneath you.
Take a moment to notice any areas of tension and gently allow them to soften with each exhale.
Now imagine a warm,
Golden light gently wrapping around you like a comforting blanket.
Visualize this loving light starting at the top of your head and slowly traveling down your body,
Relaxing each part of you it touches.
Your face,
Your neck,
Your shoulders,
Your arms,
All the way down your body to your toes.
As this warm light surrounds you,
Picture yourself floating on a tranquil sea.
The water is calm and supportive,
And with each gentle wave,
You feel yourself sinking deeper into relaxation.
You can hear the soothing rhythm of the waves and feel a soft,
Warm breeze on your skin.
Let go of any remaining thoughts,
Allowing them to drift away with the tide.
As you continue to breathe deeply and slowly,
Say to yourself,
I am safe.
I am ready to rest.
Let's repeat that.
Say to yourself,
I am safe.
I am ready to rest.
Now,
Allow your awareness to shift to your breathing.
Notice the rhythm of your inhale and exhale.
The gentle rise and fall of your chest.
Imagine each of your breaths as a wave washing over you,
Clearing away tension and inviting serenity.
Feel the rhythm of your breath sink with the soothing cadence rhythm of the sea.
With each inhale,
You feel yourself rise up on the wave.
And with each exhale,
You gently float to the bottom of the wave.
Practice feeling that for a few breaths.
Now,
Bring your attention to your feet.
Imagine the warm,
Golden light traveling to your toes,
Warming and relaxing them.
Let the light flow upward through your ankles,
Calves,
And thighs,
Dissolving any tension or pain and creating a sense of deep comfort.
Continue this visualization with the warm light as it moves to your hips,
Up through your abdomen,
And now your chest,
Spreading complete relaxation throughout your body's core.
Shift your focus to your arms.
Picture the light flowing from your shoulders to your fingertips,
Easing any tightness and filling you with calm energy.
As the light reaches your neck and head,
Feel it gently cradling you,
Softening your facial muscles,
Your neck and shoulders,
And clearing your mind.
Let yourself become one with the peaceful surroundings.
Imagine all of the stars twinkling above you in the night sky,
Their gentle,
Twinkling lights,
Enhancing the calm atmosphere.
Feel the vastness of the universe embracing you,
Reminding you that you are part of something much greater.
Breathe in this sense of connection and let it deepen your relaxation.
We are all one,
Connected together.
Now,
Picture yourself on a shore.
The beautiful horizon is glowing with a serene,
Pale light.
Each ocean wave kisses the sand,
And with it,
The light moves closer to you,
Filling you with comfort and tranquility.
It's as though the universe itself is breathing with you,
Aligning its rhythm with your own.
Reflect for a moment on the comfort this brings.
This is your special time,
Your special space,
Free from any judgment or obligation.
There's nothing for you to do,
Nowhere for you to go,
Nothing you need to say.
Nothing you even need to think.
Allow yourself to relish this sanctuary,
A bubble of peace for you,
Cradled by the universe.
Finally,
Allow all of your thoughts to fade into the background and become quieter with each breath.
As you drift closer to sleep,
Say to yourself,
I deserve rest.
I welcome peace.
I embrace tranquility.
Let the warmth and comfort of this moment carry you into a deep,
Restful sleep.
I'm going to sign off now,
But as always,
I send you love and blessings.
Bye-bye.
