Get comfortable,

Close your eyes,

And prepare to embark on a journey to the best sleep you've had in a long time.

This is your time,

Your moment to let go,

And I'm excited to guide you there.

I want you to find a comfortable position in your bed.

Lie down on your back,

With your arms gently resting by your sides.

If you prefer,

You can place a pillow under your knees to support your lower back.

Take a moment to adjust your pillows and blankets,

Ensure you feel completely at ease.

I want you to begin by closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths through your nose.

Inhale deeply,

Filling your lungs with fresh,

Calming air.

As you exhale slowly and fully through your mouth,

Feel the weight of the day begin to lift away.

Each breath you take is a step closer to complete relaxation.

With your next breath,

Draw the air in slowly,

Feeling your chest expand and your lungs fully fill.

Hold this breath for a brief moment,

Savoring the stillness,

And then exhale completely,

Releasing any tension you may be holding onto.

Let this rhythm become natural and soothing,

Each inhale bringing calm,

And each exhale letting go of any stress.

Tonight we will embrace the principle of complete relaxation.

Picture yourself in a state of pure stillness,

Where every muscle is at ease and your mind is calm.

Imagine your body sinking deeply into the mattress,

Supported and cradled by your bed.

Feel the gentle embrace of your bed beneath you,

Holding you securely.

Let's start with your toes.

I want you to wiggle them gently,

And then allow them to relax completely.

As you do,

Take a deep breath in,

And as you exhale,

Feel any tension in your toes just melting away.

Move your awareness slowly up to your feet,

Breathe in deeply,

And as you breathe out,

Let go of any tightness.

Continue to move your focus up through your ankles,

Calves,

And knees.

With each breath,

Inhale deeply,

And as you exhale,

Release any discomfort.

Imagine your muscles softening and relaxing,

Becoming heavier with each exhale.

Now bring your attention to your thighs and hips.

Take a deep breath in,

Filling your lungs completely,

And then exhale,

Releasing any remaining tension.

Notice how your lower body feels more at ease with each breath,

Sinking deeper and deeper into relaxation.

As you move your focus to your lower back,

Take another deep soothing breath.

Exhale slowly,

Letting go of any tightness or stress in this area.

Imagine a warm,

Soothing wave of relaxation flowing up your body,

Reaching your stomach and chest.

Feel your chest rise gently with each inhale,

And fall with each exhale.

Allow this gentle rhythm to bring a sense of calm and peace to your upper body.

The shoulders,

Often burdened with the stress of the day,

Are now completely relaxed.

Let them drop naturally,

Becoming heavy and reluctant.

Move your awareness down your arms,

From your upper arms,

To your elbows,

Forearms,

Wrists,

And finally your hands and fingers.

With each breath,

Feel any remaining tension dissolve,

Leaving your arms feeling heavy and still.

Now focus on your neck and throat.

Take a deep breath in,

And as you exhale slowly,

Let go of any tightness.

Finally bring your attention to your face,

Soften your jaw,

Relax your cheeks,

And smooth out any tension in your forehead.

Allow your entire face to become serene and calm.

As you lie here,

Completely relaxed,

Imagine yourself as still and lifeless.

Your body is at ease,

And your mind begins to quiet.

Each breath you take is a step closer to deep and restful sleep.

Embrace this peaceful state,

Allowing yourself to drift gently into a night of rejuvenating where your mind is becoming quieter with each breath.

Now let's deepen this state of relaxation with a progressive body scan.

Start once again at your toes.

As you focus on each part of your body,

Allow any remaining tension to dissolve completely.

Feel the sensation of relaxation spreading from your toes to your feet,

Then moving up through your ankles and calves.

With each breath,

This soothing wave of relaxation moves higher,

Reaching your knees and thighs.

As the relaxation continues to rise,

It reaches your hips and lower back.

Imagine any tightness just melting away,

Leaving you feeling weightless and at ease.

Your stomach and chest are next,

And with each exhale,

You feel lighter and more relaxed.

Your shoulders are now in bed.

Feel them sinking into the mattress,

Releasing all tension.

The sensation travels down your arms,

All the way down to your fingertips,

Leaving your arms feeling heavy and still.

Move your awareness to your neck and throat.

With each breath,

Let go of any tightness.

Your face follows,

With your jaw,

Cheeks and forehead becoming smooth and calm.

Every part of your body is now in a state of deep relaxation.

Visualize yourself lying here.

There is no need to move or do anything,

Simply just be.

Imagine yourself floating in a peaceful,

Serene space,

Where nothing can disturb your tranquility.

Your mind is quiet,

Your body is still,

And you are ready to embrace the night's rest.

Now that your body is fully relaxed,

Let's bring our focus to the act sleeping itself.

This is the time and moment where we shift our attention from the present to embracing the serenity of this quiet time.

Pay attention to the sensations of lying in your bed.

Feel the softness of your sheets against your skin,

The gentle rise and fall of your chest as you breathe,

And the comforting weight of the blankets.

Every detail contributes to a cocoon of comfort and safety.

Now direct your attention to your breath.

Notice the cool air as you inhale,

And the warm air as you exhale.

There's no need to change your breathing,

Simply observe it.

Let each breath bring you deeper into a state of calm and relaxation.

As you focus on your breath,

Feel the rhythm of your life flowing through you,

Steady and serene.

Feel the mattress supporting your body.

Imagine the bed cradling you,

Holding you gently and securely.

You are safe,

You are comfortable,

And you are ready to sleep.

The sensation of security allows you to release any remaining tension.

Let go of any thoughts or worries that may be lingering in your mind.

This is your time to rest,

To rejuvenate,

And to find peace.

As you continue to focus on your breath and the sensations of your body,

You may find your mind wandering.

This is perfectly normal.

Whether you notice your thoughts drifting,

Gently guide your attention back to the present moment.

Back to the feeling of your breath and the support of your bed.

Each time you do this,

You deepen your state of relaxation and prepare yourself for a restful night's sleep.

Feel the rhythm of your breath,

The rise and fall of your chest.

With each breath,

You are drawn closer to sleep.

You are grounded in the bed,

Fully aware of the peace and stillness within you.

The sensation of your body lying in bed,

The gentle touch of sheets,

And the rhythmic pattern of your breathing all contribute to a deepening sense of calm.

As you lie here,

Focus on the sensation of your body being supported by the mattress.

Feel the way your body is held gently and securely.

Imagine the bed as a cloud,

Soft and enveloping,

Supporting you in perfect comfort.

This sensation of being cradled brings a profound sense of safety and relaxation.

Now,

Bringing your awareness back to your breath,

Notice the way your chest rises and falls effortlessly.

Each breath is natural,

Easy,

And calming.

Imagine that with every inhale,

You are drawing in peace and tranquility.

With every exhale,

You are releasing any lingering tension or stress.

This rhythmic exchange fosters a deeper connection to the present moment.

Imagine that each breath is a wave gently washing over you,

Carrying away any remaining tension.

As these waves of breath continue,

They smooth out any rough edges of stress,

Leaving you in a state of perfect calm.

The rise and fall of your chest mimic the soothing motion of the ocean and its waves,

A continuous ebb and flow that lulls you into a deeper state of relaxation.

Focus on the feeling of the air as it enters your nostrils,

Cool and refreshing.

As you exhale,

Feel the warmth of the air as it leaves your body.

This simple observation helps anchor you in the present moment.

The air you breathe is life-giving and calming,

A reminder of the natural rhythms that sustain you.

Feel the weight of your body now sinking into your mattress,

Becoming heavier with each breath.

The bed supports you completely,

Allowing you to surrender fully to the moment.

Let your body relax into this support,

Knowing you are safe and held.

Every part of your body is at ease,

Ready to drift into a peaceful slumber.

As thoughts arise,

Acknowledge them without judging and gently let them go.

Return your focus to your breath and the comforting sensations of lying in bed.

Each time you bring your awareness back,

You strengthen your ability to remain present and relaxed.

Imagine your mind as a calm,

Clear lake.

Thoughts may ripple across the surface,

But beneath the surface,

The water is still and tranquil.

Allow yourself to sink into the stillness,

Where nothing can disturb your peace.

The deeper you go,

The more serene and quiet it becomes.

Feel the soothing rhythm of your breath as it guides you deeper into relaxation.

The rise and fall of your chest becomes slower,

More deliberate.

Each breath a gentle reminder of your calm and centered state.

You are now fully present,

Fully relaxed and ready for sleep.

In this moment,

There is nothing you need to do,

Nowhere you need to be.

Simply enjoy the feeling of being at rest,

The sensation of your body supported and your mind at ease.

Embrace this tranquility,

Allowing it to carry you gently into a deep,

Restful sleep.

Each breath,

Each sensation brings you closer to the peaceful slumber you deserve.

With each passing moment,

Feel yourself sinking deeper into a state of relaxation.

Let go completely,

Knowing that you are ready for a night of rejuvenating sleep.

You are safe,

You are calm,

You are at peace.

Let this serenity envelop you as you drift effortlessly into the night.

Now let's deepen our focus on the breath and the energy within your body.

Begin by taking a slow deep breath through your nose.

Hold this breath for a moment and then exhale slowly and completely through your mouth.

Continue this pattern,

Allowing your breath to flow naturally.

Pay attention to the natural pause between each inhalation and exhalation.

In this pause,

There is a moment of stillness,

A moment of pure calm.

Focus on the stillness,

The peaceful gap between breaths.

It is in these moments that you can find true relaxation and tranquility.

As you breathe,

Imagine that with each inhalation,

You are drawing in calm,

Soothing energy.

This energy fills your body,

Bringing relaxation and peace.

When you exhale,

Imagine releasing any remaining tension or stress.

With each breath,

You become more relaxed and more at ease.

Feel the energy flowing through your body with each breath.

It moves gently,

Soothingly from your head to your toes.

This energy is a source of calm,

A source of peace.

As you focus on your breath and the energy within you,

Feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed.

Each pause between breaths is a moment of stillness,

A moment to connect with the calm within you.

Embrace these moments,

Letting them bring you deeper into relaxation.

Your body is at peace,

Your mind is quiet and you are ready to sleep.

Now gently close your eyes,

If they aren't already closed.

Imagine covering your ears,

Blocking out any external noise.

Focus on the inner silence,

The quiet that resides within you.

In this silence,

You may notice subtle sounds within your body,

Perhaps it's a gentle rhythm of your breath,

The soft beat of your heart.

These sounds are a reminder of your inner calm and your inner peace.

Focus on the inner silence,

Letting it draw you deeper into relaxation.

The outside world fades away,

Leaving you with a sense of calm and stillness.

You are in a place of peace,

A place where sleep can come easily.

As we near the end of our session,

Let yourself bask in this deep sense of relaxation.

Your body is now completely at ease,

Your mind is complete and you are ready for a restful night's sleep.

Take a few more deep breaths,

Feeling the peace within you.

Know that you are safe,

You are comfortable.

Let go of any remaining thoughts or worries.

This is your time to rest and rejuvenate.

As you lie here,

Allow yourself to drift off to sleep.

Embrace the tranquility,

The calm and you are ready for a deep restful sleep now.

Sweet dreams.
