I am going to guide you down into a restful and rejuvenating deep sleep.

It is common that as a busy mind tries to keep you from making the leap from awake to sleep so I am going to give you one last chance to think about these things.

One last chance to go through any worries or concerns that you have that are keeping you from getting a restful night's sleep.

So go ahead and think as hard as you can about anything that is stuck in your mind.

But when you do this you only give each thought one chance to think about it,

Then you will let it go.

As each thought arises that keeps you from feeling relaxed say to that thought,

Okay I have acknowledged you so now you must leave.

And continue to think your thoughts and only give them one chance to present themselves and say now it is time for you to go.

As you watch these thoughts coming notice how less repetitive they get.

You are emptying these thoughts out by actively letting each of them go.

If something arises that you already just thought about demand that you are letting it go once and for all because you deserve restful sleep.

You have only a few moments longer to think of anything that is left than letting it go completely.

Restful sleep is natural for you,

It is natural for everyone.

However up until now you have allowed your thoughts to have control over you,

Keeping you from getting the slumber you deserve.

But now you are done with this habit because restful sleep is essential for you and overthinking is unnecessary and unnatural.

Good,

You are doing exactly what you have been needing to for so very long.

Only one last chance to see any thoughts coming and say to them leave my mind so that I can have the natural restful sleep that I deserve.

As these daily concerns fade and become less aggressive in your mind you find your body feels lighter,

You also find that your mind too feels lighter.

A gentle floating sensation sweeps over you and this is the most relaxed you have felt in a very long time.

Good,

You notice the slight sound of your gentle breath and it reminds you of a calm breeze or a serene ocean or perhaps a clear stream trickling by.

Your breath is similar to these scenes in nature because your breath is the most natural thing in the world.

The breath slows a bit more which means you are very relaxed and you doze off into a beautiful sleep.

It's been so long since you have been able to fall asleep so easily that your body welcomes this sensation.

Your mind has been so kind in letting go of any repetitive thoughts because you acknowledge them and then firmly order for them to leave.

Your mind listens very well to your instruction,

Allow your mind to drift and wander to the thought of a soft and fluffy pillow,

You may be lucky enough to be lying on one right now.

Just imagine this pillow and feel its softness supporting you,

Feeling how it was created just for you to rest your head upon.

The truth is it was designed by someone who wished you a happy night's sleep every night.

With thanks to the creator of this soft comfy pillow,

It is a very important tool in a restful night's sleep.

The sound of my voice becomes distant now and the sensations of sleep are drawing very close now.

The frequency of sleeping sweeps over your mind and is a very pleasant feeling.

These gentle sensations come very naturally for you,

You sleep deeply and soundly.

You can almost sense the feeling of being a tiny baby when sleeping came often and easily.

When you were a baby your breath filled your belly and soothed you.

You were wrapped in various soft blankets by those who cared for you.

People cared for you when you were a baby and were delighted to see you restfully sleeping.

They knew how important it was to rejuvenate ourselves with sleep.

They smiled as they watched your eyes close and your sweet face.

You slept easily and nicely then when you were a little baby,

Just as you do now upon your soft pillow.

You sleep deeply and soundly.

You can barely notice your breath now because it has slowed to only what is needed for a deep and restful sleep.

This is completely natural and it feels wonderful.

Good.

I'm very delighted to see you sleeping so well,

You deserve this.

You sleep deeply and soundly.

You deserve a restful sleep.

You deserve a natural slumber.

You deserve to let go of unnecessary thoughts.

You deserve to sleep in a way that you feel completely rejuvenated when you arrive.

Everyone you know also deserves to see you well rested.

And they are overjoyed to hear the news when you tell them that you are getting the natural sleep you need every single night.

You sleep soundly and deeply.

Your dreams are constructive and offer a space for learning.

Your dreams contribute to a happy wakeful life.

Your dreams complement your good qualities and offer feelings of completion.

Let the dreaming feeling flow and float,

Now taking you all different kinds of wonderful places,

Having important experiences.

You sleep soundly and deeply.

Now it is effortless for you to get to sleep.

Simply practice this meditation technique every single night for a few weeks so that you fully retain this wonderful habit.

Good.

Sleep comes easily for you.

Sleeping soundly is naturally for you.

You are love.

You are delighted that you sleep so deeply,

Getting the rest you need.

It is your human right to always get a good night's sleep and it is your human right to be completely rejuvenated when you arrive.

You deserve this and you always have.

Now just let my voice completely fade away and enjoy this rest you naturally experience.

Good night.

Good night.
