Good evening,
Friends.
Welcome to the grounded sleep podcast.
I'm Jamie Wozni and I'm happy to be back with you for another deep sleep meditation.
This time I'm going to be guiding you into a state of deep peace.
So go ahead and turn off the lights,
Get comfortable in your bed,
Wiggle your body around,
Wiggle your toes,
Get comfy in your blankets.
And whenever you feel ready,
Go ahead and close your eyes.
Tonight here with me,
I want you to see if you can let go of trying so hard and giving you full permission to show up exactly as you are.
To come back home to a deeper essence within yourself.
To be reunited with the state of being that you crave from the world.
But tonight in the sanctuary of your own room,
You can find it within the walls of your own internal space.
Detaching from the day and letting go of what lies ahead as you welcome your energy and your presence here with me.
Starting to deepen your breath ever so slightly as we bring some inhales gently into the belly,
Into the chest and release,
Letting everything go.
Gentle inhale into the belly,
Into the chest,
Letting it go.
Gradually noticing that connection between your body and the bed as maybe you do a wiggle or two more to get really comfortable.
Your body is connected to the bed and you are in your body.
And you keep gently breathing as you allow yourself with every exhale to melt like butter into bread.
The face softens,
Ears relax,
Nothing to listen for.
You're just allowing my voice to dawn on you.
Nothing to focus on.
Nothing to look at.
Absolutely nothing to figure out.
Just a safe,
Loving space to be.
The chest relaxes and the belly unwinds and the hips loosen down into the surface below it.
Obviously allowing a pause,
Slowing down to occur.
Not needing to control or change the external,
But just focusing on you.
I'm slowing down the internal.
I'm settling into a sanctuary within.
I'm breathing and I'm melting down and in,
Nice and slow.
As I let go of my life out there and I tune into my life in here.
I allow the breath to take me one layer deeper,
But not because I'm trying.
Probably because I'm led,
I'm guided,
I'm curious and I follow.
My breath gently tugs me deeper.
As if I'm not the driver,
I'm going for the ride.
And as we settle deep within the seat of our soul,
We begin to become the observer.
Allowing ourselves to focus on one thing effortlessly.
That which notices,
That which sees,
That which is aware within us.
We are not our thinking,
We are aware of our thinking.
And so we step back into this.
We melt into this.
As this is effortless and easy.
There is no right or wrong here.
Only a noticer of all of it,
A beautiful respite,
Space from tween.
Here in this space of the observer is what one calls peace.
A reuniting with your inner home,
Regardless of your external life.
A state of being not to be earned or achieved.
Something to simply fall back into when the mind quiets or we simply begin to take its chatter less seriously.
That's not me,
That's my habits.
That's energy that moves through.
And behind it,
Around it is my resting place.
That which sees,
Observes,
Is aware.
So I take this seat as I rest here tonight.
I release my value I have placed for now on everything moving through.
And for this moment in time,
I value the peaceful inner being that is me,
That peeks through from behind my eyes from time to time.
I cannot find this with effort or strain.
I simply fall back into it,
Release my hold on the moving parts as I ground in that which is constant.
I feel my way into that which is constant,
Not with my brain but with my being.
A default state already here when I let go of the moving parts of my mind.
Just for now I needn't take the content seriously.
Instead I value the blank page,
The loving presence.
I exist here,
I rest here.
I lean in here,
I am here.
Giving up your humanity for one small moment to touch your divinity,
Knowing you'll return when you wish.
But for now we lean in.
We settle one layer deeper into that which is unconditional,
Nothing needing to change to have my peace here and now.
Opening up,
Allowing a space for it to dawn on me when it does as it does in its own time.
As I effortlessly rest,
Easy in my heart,
Soft in my mind,
I am here.
My body is even more relaxed as this energy of peace wiggles down through my legs,
Into my toes,
Up into my fingers and my head,
Merging with my physical experience.
Allowing me to align with the knowing of this internal state.
Simply guiding me towards its deep rest.
I am the observer.
I am the awareness.
I am the soul who knows.
I am the peace.
I feel it ever so subtly bubbling up,
Wanting its presence to be known simply by my invitation and curiosity,
As I allow it to take me into sleep.
