Guided Thoughts For Better Sleep Meditation

Invite yourself inside,

Away from the hurried thoughts and the noise of the day,

The thoughts that keep you alert,

Any anxiousness and restlessness,

The thoughts that tug at the seams of your peace.

So come inside,

And feel those thoughts dissolve into the quiet darkness of the night as you begin to pay attention to the gentle ebb and flow of your breath,

The soft,

Comforting weight of your body is resting here,

And the calm,

Soothing sounds are here to cradle you in the night.

Inhale slowly,

And then exhale,

Allowing your body to sink further into relaxation,

Allowing tension to drift away,

Inviting your mind to unwind,

And your heart to open wide.

You are worthy of this tranquility.

Ignore the chorus of shoulds and those voices of doubt.

You are worthy of your own love,

Of peace and serenity.

So breathe in deeply,

And open yourself up to embrace the profound kindness that you offer so freely to everyone else.

Imagine it as a warm blanket covering you,

Soothing you,

Holding you gently,

As it rocks you into a more relaxed state.

You don't have to do more.

You don't have to strive for more.

You don't have to keep pushing.

You can simply be,

Giving yourself what you most deeply desire,

What your spirit needs.

A moment,

A break,

Affection,

Appreciation,

And restorative deep sleep.

Feel your eyelids grow heavier,

And the muscles in your face relax as your entire face softens.

Then feel your shoulders drop into comfort.

Breathe.

Release any tightness from your neck,

And let your back ease as your spine gently elongates and unwinds.

Let your chest open up,

And your arms grow heavy.

Feel your belly soften,

And your whole body sink deeper into the embrace of your bed.

Allow your hips to let go,

And your legs to warm and weigh down with relaxation.

Breathe,

And as you exhale,

Drift further into the night.

Leave behind all worries,

All pressures,

All demands.

It's just you here,

With the nurturing night,

Wrapped in the soft,

Loving blankets of care,

And cradled in warmth.

You are loved.

You are enough.

You are whole.

Namaste.

Beautiful.
