Welcome to this guided meditation,
Friend.
It is designed to help soothe and regulate your nervous system,
Especially when sleep seems elusive.
Let's embark on a journey towards tranquility and rest,
Regardless of the chaos in the world or the world of thoughts in your mind.
Remember peace is at the core of your being.
Find a comfortable position and prepare to connect with that inner peace.
As we begin,
There's nothing you need to do,
But listen to my voice.
Allow my words to guide you towards a state of relaxation,
Helping your thoughts to decelerate and your nervous system to regulate.
Take a deep breath in,
Feel the air fill your lungs,
And notice the calming effect it has on your body.
Deep breathing is a scientifically recognized method to ease overthinking and promote nervous system regulation.
Imagine yourself showing up for this healing session,
An act of courage and self-care.
Acknowledge your strength in taking this time for yourself,
A true expression of self-love and respect.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Let go of any tension.
Envision your worries dissolving with each exhale,
Making space for peace and stillness.
Now focus on positive affirmations to reinforce your sense of safety and security.
Repeat to yourself.
I am safe and secure in this moment.
Peace and calm surround me.
I am grateful for this restful moment.
I allow myself to heal and rest.
I relax and release any tension or stress.
I trust in my body's ability to regain energy for tomorrow.
Focusing on my breath,
I let my body rest.
I let go of worries,
Embracing the present.
If anxiety and worries disrupt your efforts to sleep,
Take a moment to breathe deeply.
Concentrate on each breath,
Clearing your mind of anxious thoughts,
Aiding in stress reduction and relaxation.
In this state of calm,
Allow your body and mind to further relax and regulate your nervous system,
Paving the way for a restful night.
If sleep still seems distant,
Consider the gentle option of listening to calming music or engaging in a quiet,
Relaxing activity like reading.
Remember,
This practice is not about forcing sleep,
But about creating an environment where your nervous system can find its balance,
Naturally leading to restful slumber.
Trust in this process and in your body's innate ability to find peace and rejuvenation.
Please repeat this meditation every day for 21 days.
When you're ready,
Gently bring your awareness back to your surroundings.
Carry the calmness and stillness you've cultivated into your night,
Trusting in a peaceful,
Restorative sleep.
Namaste.
