Suitable for

Everyone

Deep Rest is a short, gentle guided meditation to support relaxation, winding down before sleep, or transitioning from one part of your day to another. Through a guided body scan and gently bringing awareness inward, you’re invited to soften the body, ease mental activity, relax the belly, and settle your energy field. Use this practice for a restful pause, to release tension after a busy day, or to ease into bedtime. There is nothing to achieve. This is simply an invitation to let go of effort and allow yourself to rest.

This is a meditation for deep rest. At the end of a day. When you've just had enough and it's time to let it all go. This meditation is for you. And so find a comfortable place to lie down. Whether it's on a bed or a mat or on the floor. And get so cozy. And let it all go. Breathe in. And breathe out. And just releasing and resting into the floor beneath you, Into the surface beneath you. Relax all the muscles in your face. Your shoulders Next. You have. Relaxing the muscles. Down your back. Consciously letting everything be at ease. Releasing any tension in the chest. The abdomen. The stomach. The cut. Softening, Loosening. Releasing Relaxing your arms and your hands and your fingers. Releasing any tension in the hips, The buttocks, The pelvis. Softening down the thighs and knees. The calves and shins. And ankles, Feet and toes. And with each in breath. Allow it to be a gentle meditation. Internally. Gentle massage. Expanding, Allowing the breath to expand into the muscles and the bones and the tissues. And with each exhale, Just sinking in further, Releasing further. Relaxing further. You have nothing you have to do. You're nowhere, You have to be. Then begin to soften the mind. Literally soften your brain. All that is held today. All that it's managed and handled. Let all of that go. Relax your thoughts. Let them drift. Lift off and away Settling deeper into more space and stillness in this moment. Connect with your heart. Soften your heart. All that your heart is carrying today. Right now. You can let all of that go. And then soften your gut. The second brain. All that is processed and digested. And out as well. Just softening. Relaxing, Releasing. Bringing more space and ease into this area. Take a moment to thank your body. For all it carried you through today. Thank your spirit. For all of the town. Thank your energy. For giving you the juice to get through the day. Thank you, Mind. For all they kept track of. Take a deep breath into your whole body. And let it all go Rest. Rest in this space. And stillness. Silence.
