Feel Nothing But Floating Bliss: Affirmations For Deep Sleep

Before we begin,

Please make sure you're somewhere safe where you can fully relax.

Not driving,

Not operating machinery,

Just free to let your whole system rest.

I'm Chibzo Karake and welcome to this deep sleep meditation to help you float off into a deeply restful blissful sleep.

Tonight is all about helping your body and mind feel as if the weight of the day and even the weight of your own body can gently switch off until there's nothing left but floating bliss.

Soft,

Quiet,

Safe.

This session is designed to help you drop into a very deep state of relaxation and sleep,

So deep that you may not remember much of what I say and you may not hear the ending at all,

And that is perfectly okay.

In fact,

That is one of the aims of this recording.

By the end of the meditation,

If you haven't already drifted off,

You'll be more than ready to fall into a deep,

Restorative sleep.

As gentle affirmations play in the background,

You don't have to focus or concentrate,

You don't have to do this in any perfect way,

You can simply allow my voice to be there in the background like a gentle guide while your nervous system does all the real work of letting go.

Take a moment now to get as comfortable as you can,

Adjusting your pillow,

Your blankets,

The position of your body.

Let anything that doesn't need to be there tonight move out of the way.

You might choose to lie on your back,

Or on your side,

Or in any position that feels natural and supported.

If you need to set an alarm for the morning or put your phone on silent,

You can do that now,

So that there's nothing else you need to remember tonight.

And when you're ready,

You may allow your eyes to close,

Or simply let the eyes become soft and unfocused.

If at any point you want to open your eyes,

Or move,

Or change position,

You can.

You are always in control,

And you can always choose whatever feels safest and most comfortable for you.

For now,

Noticing the simple feeling of your body resting on the bed.

Noticing the points of contact,

The back of the head,

The shoulders,

The arms,

The hips,

The legs,

The heels.

You don't have to scan in any particular order,

Just a gentle awareness of where your body is being supported.

And as you notice these points of contact,

You might begin to sense how the mattress is already doing all the work.

You're being held,

Completely,

Supported from underneath,

So that there's nothing you have to hold up by yourself.

Taking a slow,

Comfortable breath in through your nose,

And letting it sigh out through your mouth or your nose,

Whatever feels easier.

No need to force the breath,

Just a slightly deeper inhale,

And a slower,

Longer exhale.

Breathing in gently,

And as you breathe out,

Imagining the weight of the day flowing out with the air.

And as you breathe out,

You're beginning to feel just a fraction more settled,

A fraction more at ease.

You may begin to notice a natural heaviness in the body now,

The kind of heaviness that comes when you finally lie down after a long day.

Muscles that were working for you all day,

Starting to loosen,

To sag,

To melt.

You might feel this first in your legs,

Or in your shoulders,

Or maybe in the simple weight of your head sinking into the pillow.

Wherever you feel it,

Allow that heaviness to be there.

There's something very peaceful about letting the body feel heavy,

Supported,

Completely allowed to rest.

And as this comfortable heaviness grows,

You may also notice something interesting.

At a certain point,

Very deep relaxation can start to feel almost like the opposite of heavy.

As if the edges of your body begin to blur,

And it becomes harder to tell where you end,

And where the bed begins.

You don't have to chase that feeling.

You don't have to make anything happen.

Simply notice that as your body softens,

The boundary between you and the mattress may start to feel a little less clear.

Imagine now that beneath you,

The mattress is becoming like a soft,

Warm cloud.

Perfectly shaped to your body,

Gently rising up to meet you.

Supporting every curve,

Every line,

So that no part of you is left hanging or holding.

You're not trying to float.

You're simply letting yourself be held by this cloud of comfort.

The more you allow yourself to sink into it,

The more this cloud can carry your weight for you.

With each out-breath,

You might imagine that cloud becoming a little fuller,

A little softer,

As if it absorbs the weight,

The tension,

The effort that you've been carrying today.

Taking it all in,

So that you don't have to.

And with each gentle in-breath,

You might sense the faintest hint of lightness,

As if your whole body lifts a fraction of a millimetre.

Not moving in any obvious way,

Just the idea of being slightly less tied to gravity,

Slightly more supported,

Slightly more free.

If you like,

You can imagine that this cloud is slowly drifting up into a calm,

Night sky.

Not far,

Not fast,

Just a slow,

Effortless rise.

The room around you remains safe,

The bed remains beneath you.

And at the same time,

There is this inner sense of being carried,

As if you're resting on a soft cloud,

Floating in a dark,

Quiet sky.

You might notice the tiniest sense of gentle rocking,

Almost too subtle to feel,

As if the cloud is guided by a very slow,

Very steady breeze.

You don't need to feel this clearly,

You might simply like the idea of it.

The idea of being cradled by the sky,

The idea of being rocked by the night,

While you do absolutely nothing.

Some people feel these sensations strongly,

Others notice only a hint of them,

And some people simply feel more relaxed,

Without any clear sense of floating at all.

Whatever you notice or don't notice is completely fine,

Your experience is allowed to be exactly as it is.

What matters most is that you're here,

Resting,

Allowing the bed and this cloud and the quiet of the night to hold you.

So that your mind can begin to wander,

Your body can continue to soften,

And you can start to drift toward that deep,

Floating,

Blissful sleep that is already on its way.

And as this deeper part of you continues to float and soften,

There's nothing you need to do to help it along.

If you like,

I'm going to offer you a gentle way to drift even further into this floating rest now.

Almost as if you and this cloud could glide to a quieter part of the night,

A place of even softer,

Even deeper sleep.

In a moment,

I'll count down slowly,

From ten to zero.

You don't have to follow every number,

You don't have to listen closely,

You can simply allow the numbers to come and go,

Like distant stars,

Appearing and fading.

As you float past them.

With each number,

You may have the sense of drifting a little further away from the surface of the day.

A little further into the soft,

Weightless bliss of sleep,

Only as far and as deep as feels comfortable for you.

Ten.

The cloud beneath you is soft and steady,

You feel how completely it holds you,

How little you need to hold yourself,

The body may already feel distant.

Or heavy,

Or almost not there at all.

Nine.

The night sky around you grows even quieter,

Any sounds in your room,

Any small noises,

Become part of the background,

Nothing to analyze,

Nothing to react to.

Just gentle proof that the world is carrying on,

While you rest.

Eight.

The cloud drifts a little higher,

Or perhaps a little further.

You might imagine the lights of the world far below,

Becoming smaller and softer.

All the places you've been today,

All the roles you've played,

Now tiny,

Distant,

Out of reach.

Seven.

Breathing in,

The cool,

Calm air of the night,

Breathing out,

The last traces of effort from the day.

With each breath,

Your body knows a little more,

I am safe to let go here,

I am allowed to rest.

Six.

You and the cloud feel almost like one thing now,

It's hard to tell where you end and where the softness begins.

You may notice that you're not really aware of your hands,

Or your feet,

Unless you go looking for them,

As if they've drifted a little further into the cloud.

A little further into sleep.

Five.

Halfway down now,

If you're still following along,

You might notice how far away the morning feels.

There's nothing you have to get ready for right now,

No decisions,

No planning,

Just this moment.

Seven.

Floating.

Breathing.

Sinking.

Falling.

Thoughts may slow,

Or tangle,

Or become dreamlike around the edges.

You don't have to tidy them.

The thoughts can pass through like wisps of cloud,

Dissolving behind you as you drift.

Three.

The cloud becomes even more weightless,

Even more spacious.

You might have the sense that you're floating in a gentle darkness that isn't empty.

It's full of quiet,

Full of rest,

Full of the kind of stillness that lets your whole system reset itself.

Two.

If there's any part of you still trying to stay alert,

Still watching over things,

You might thank that part for working so hard for so long.

And let that part know that the cloud and the night can keep watch for a while,

So that it too can soften and rest.

One.

Almost at that point where there's nothing left to do.

Nothing left to fix.

Only the simple fact that you are here.

Breathing.

Feeling.

Floating.

Supported by something larger than you.

Zero.

You may allow yourself now to drop as deeply into this floating sleep as if the cloud has carried you to a place in the sky that belongs only to you.

A quiet,

Hidden pocket of the night where your body and your mind can finally switch off and heal while you sleep.

From here,

You don't need to follow my words at all.

You might drift in and out or slip past them completely.

Your conscious mind is free to wander into dreams while the deeper part of you continues to float,

Peacefully,

In this soft,

Starlit darkness.

And any time you notice yourself becoming aware of my voice again,

You can simply allow that awareness itself to be another invitation to sink back down.

Into the cloud.

Into the sky.

Weightless,

Blissful sleep that's already holding you now.

And now,

As you float here,

These simple phrases can drift softly in the background.

You don't have to repeat them.

You don't have to remember them.

They can simply be there.

Like distant stars in the sky.

While you sleep.

I am safe to let go tonight.

My body is held,

Cradled,

Supported as I sleep.

I am allowed to rest completely.

It's safe for my nervous system to switch off now.

I sink deeply into floating,

Blissful sleep.

I don't have to hold anything together tonight.

My body is heavy and free.

I sleep deeply and stay asleep until it's time to wake.
