Hi,

This is Kim here,

Welcoming you to this guided sleep meditation.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

This meditation is designed to help you to let go of your day,

To find your space within of deep peace,

Tranquillity and contentment,

Before drifting into a deep and restorative sleep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

This meditation should be listened to as you are going to sleep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

So,

When you are ready,

Take a deep breath in.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And as you slowly breathe out,

Begin to relax.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Bringing your concentration to the sensation of your breath.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Breathing slowly in.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And slowly out.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Aware of your breath.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

With each breath,

Allow yourself to sink deeper and deeper down into your bed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Opening to and welcoming a quietness,

A stillness that is always with you.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

As if you are turning the spotlight of your attention away from your thoughts.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Away from your cares and your worries.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Focusing your attention on the sensations in your body.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Going beyond.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Beyond.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Deeper down into relaxation.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Feeling so relaxed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Peaceful.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Quiet.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And still.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Mind and body are one.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

As one leaves,

The other will follow.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Relaxing more deeply in your body.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And as your body feels soothed and calmed,

Your mind too feels quieter.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And quieter.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Beginning to sense a shift in your body and your mind.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Welcoming a feeling of well-being.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Of deep peace.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And loving kindness.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To flow through you.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

As you listen to this recording.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You will find that the benefits of this meditation travel with you into sleep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Into the night.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Into the days ahead.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Letting go.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Flowing with a deeper and more helpful part of you.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The part of you that existed before your thoughts.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Before your judgements and opinions.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The part of you that is perceived in the moment before the arising of your thoughts.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The part of you that is powerful.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Courageous.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And loving space within you.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

As you slowly breathe in.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And slowly breathe out.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Sensing where in your body this quiet wisdom resides.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Maybe in your throat.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Or your chest.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Or your tummy.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You notice how good it feels to bring your attention to the space within your body.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

So that feelings and sensations of peace.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Tranquility.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Comfort.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Continue to flow through your mind.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

In your mind's eye now.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You see yourself in a garden.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You are standing at the top of a large stone staircase.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And the staircase leads you down to another part of the garden.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The garden of your mind.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Of your subconscious.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And there are ten steps down the staircase.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

In a moment.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I will begin counting slowly back from ten.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And with each descending number.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You take a step down the stairs.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

With each footstep down.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Be more and more relaxed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

More tranquil than you have ever felt before.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

From ten.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Relaxed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Happy.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And peaceful.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Nine.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A wave of serenity.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Of comfort and contentment flows through you.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Eight.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Drifting down.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Deeper and deeper down.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Seven.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Letting go.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Surrendering to sensations of calm and well-being.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

With each step down.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Six.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Sinking more heavily down into your bed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Five.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Quiet.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Three.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Still.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Four.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

All the way down.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Three.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Two.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

One.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Feeling.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Very peaceful.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Sleepy.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Content.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You see yourself.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You are now standing at the bottom of the wide stone staircase.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And just ahead of you is a path that leads to a door.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A large green door.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

That is set into a high red brick wall.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And you have already guessed that beyond the door is another garden.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A secret garden.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Perhaps the most beautiful garden you will ever see.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Walking slowly and lazily towards this green door.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Each footstep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Feeling deeper and deeper relaxed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Reaching the door.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You turn the door knob.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And the door opens silently and slowly.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You see that the doorway entrance is covered by hanging vines and tall shrubs and trees are growing at the entrance of the secret garden.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

So that it is not particularly clear what lies beyond the entrance way to this garden.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You are feeling relaxed and happy and curious.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Eager to see what you might find.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

So you begin to move aside the vines.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And make your way through the undergrowth of the trees.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And the shrubs.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Each footstep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Feeling tranquil.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Safe.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And present.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Feeling the ground beneath your feet.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

With each slow footstep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You make your way through and as you emerge from the undergrowth.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You are aware that it is becoming night time.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And the sun is setting.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The sky is alight with colours of pink and orange.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And the atmosphere about you is cast in a pale pink rosy light.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Breathing in deeply the fragrance of lavender.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And honey.

.

.

.

.

And tea roses.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Comes to you.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And helps you to relax more deeply.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Looking out across this special secret garden of yours.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You are filled with a sense of wonder and delight.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The most beautiful and tranquil place you have ever seen.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You continue to walk slowly and lazily through this heavenly garden.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Taking in the many different colours of the flowers.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And the hundreds of shades of green.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Each footstep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Allowing yourself to feel deeper and deeper relaxed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Aware of a powerful and peaceful connection to this garden.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And the nature contained within it.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Perhaps you can see small birds flying and chirping their good nights.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

As they make their way back to their nests for the night.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The sounds of the birds.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The tranquil rose coloured hue of the atmosphere.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The deep peace and beauty of this garden help you to feel more relaxed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Peaceful.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Quiet.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Content.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Directly in front of you now.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You see a large ornate bed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A place for you to rest.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To sleep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To allow the peace and the joy of this garden to continue to flow through you.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

As you sleep and dream.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Making yourself comfortable in this bed of yours.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The bed linen is fresh and soft against your skin.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You feel at the perfect temperature for you.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You are aware of how very content and calm you feel.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

As you close your eyes.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You bring your attention to the top of your head.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And I will guide you through a relaxing body scan.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And as your awareness travels over your body.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You feel that part relax.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Drifting down into sleep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To sleep throughout the night.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And awake only at a time that you set for yourself.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Feeling positive.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Feeling positive.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Re-energised.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Focused.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And serene.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

So bringing your attention now slowly and softly down to your forehead.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Allowing those small facial muscles to relax.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To smooth and let go.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Travelling over your eyes.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And gently down your face.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Down your cheeks.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And your nose.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Your ears.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Your mouth.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To your jaw.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You part your teeth just a little.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Feeling more relaxed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Soothed and calm.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Continuing down the back of your head.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Slowly down the back of your neck.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Softly and lightly across your shoulders.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Your mind so quiet.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Your body so still and relaxed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Sinking deeper and deeper down into your bed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Travelling slowly down your arms.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To your hands.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To the very tips of your fingers.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And some parts of your body may feel more heavy than others.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And that is perfectly fine.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You can allow everything to be just as it is.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Just as you are.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Continuing across your chest and gently down to your tummy.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Across your upper back.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And softly down.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Down.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Down.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

All the way down to your lower back.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Letting go.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Surrendering to sleep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To the deep peace and the quiet of your innate wisdom.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Continuing down your pelvis.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And your buttocks.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To your legs.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To your thighs.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Your knees.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To your calves.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And your ankles.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To your feet.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

All the way down to the tips of your toes.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Your entire body feeling more relaxed than you have ever felt before.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Drifting down into sleep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Should you need to wake for any reason.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You will do so.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Tend to whatever needs attending.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Return to bed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And just by bringing your attention back to the sensations in your body.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You easily and naturally drift back into sleep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

There is absolutely nothing that you need to do.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Just lie back.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Listen.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And drift deeply down.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Into sleep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.
