Welcome to this guided sleep meditation.
Set limb into our bodies and take in a moment to be at complete ease.
Allowing yourself to become comfortable in the laying position.
Maybe you have a blanket laid over you to keep you warm.
So you can drift off into a deep sleep after this meditation comes to an end.
Allowing your body to settle into this moment.
And allowing yourself to relax and melt deeper into the ground beneath you.
When you feel ready,
Gently close down your eyes.
Giving yourself permission to relax.
Breathing into your body and areas that are resistant to rest.
Reminding yourself that you have nowhere to be and nothing to think.
That you are completely safe in this space,
This moment.
This is your time to clear your mind of sleep.
Become a witness to your thoughts running through your mind.
Not attaching to them,
Not judging them.
Visualise your thoughts like passing clouds in a beautiful blue sky.
Gently drifting away.
Not attaching to the clouds,
Just letting them pass.
Bring your focus into your body.
Simply listening.
Allowing yourself to come into a state of stillness.
Now bringing your attention to your breath.
Notice the rise and fall of your belly and chest.
Allowing the breath to gently nurture your body.
The natural breath that runs through your veins as you breathe in and out.
There's no need to control the breath here.
We are just simply observing the breath flowing in and out of our body.
And with each breath just allow your body to simply unwind and relax further.
Just letting go of any stresses,
Any worries,
Any anxieties from your day.
This is your time to completely let go.
Noticing the breath and its natural rhythm.
Letting go of any control or any judgement of the breath.
With every in-breath welcome stillness.
Silently saying in our minds eye,
I feel my body.
And with every exhale releasing any stresses or worries.
Silently saying I am grounded and supported.
Allowing yourself to be here.
Fully present and aware.
Allowing yourself to feel whatever is present in your body and your heart space.
There's no yesterday.
No tomorrow.
No today.
Just here.
This moment.
Just you.
Arriving into your body.
Take a moment to breathe.
When you feel your mind start drifting into thoughts.
Don't be hard on yourself.
This is completely natural.
Just bring your focus back to your breath.
Bring your attention to your face.
Notice if you're holding onto any tension on your forehead.
Releasing any tension around your temples.
Letting go of any tension at the back of your head.
And noticing any tightness in your scalp.
Releasing tension in your brow and forehead.
And allowing your eyes to feel completely heavy in their sockets.
Resting down your cheeks and your mouth.
Allowing your mouth to completely soften.
Releasing your tongue from the roof of your mouth.
Unclenching your jaw.
Completely softening.
Remember to breathe.
Noticing tension in your neck and shoulders.
Softening the shoulders away from your ears and sinking into the ground beneath you further.
Feeling the breath gently flowing through your nose.
Feeling your breath naturally start to slow you down as you relax further.
Letting go of any tightness.
Bringing your focus to your shoulders.
Relaxing down your shoulders further.
Through down to your elbows and into your wrists and hands.
Relaxing each finger from your left hand all the way through to your right hand.
Letting go of any tension.
Bringing your focus to the top of your spine.
We're going to take a moment to relax every vertebrae from the top of your spine all the way down to your seat bones.
Each vertebrae one by one.
Completely melting.
Take your attention to your hips and pelvis.
As you do so you will naturally start melting further.
At complete ease.
Stillness.
Taking that focus down our thighs.
Through to our knees.
Into our calves and shins.
Down to our ankles.
Relaxing.
Letting go.
Now bring your attention to your feet and the soles of your feet.
Relaxing every toe from your left foot through to your right foot.
Relaxing each toe one by one.
Just simply letting go.
Releasing any stress and tension from your legs and feet from walking around.
From being active.
This is your time to completely relax.
Take a moment to breathe.
Feeling the beats of your heart and natural breath.
In your heart space notice any feelings or emotions that you have been feeling today.
Reminding yourself that you are completely safe.
Taking a moment to remind yourself of how loved we are.
And how much gratitude we have in our hearts.
Gratitude for our bodies.
For our bodies working so hard for us every day.
From our bones to our muscles.
For endless blood supply.
For the breath.
Being grateful to yourself.
Holding love and gratitude for yourself.
Just take a moment.
Hold this feeling in your heart space.
Now you can start feeling this love.
Start spreading around your body into all of your cells.
All around you.
This love is beaming.
Beautiful white lights.
You deserve this time.
Reminding yourself of how strong and powerful you are.
How deserving you are of this moment and all the wonderful things that you have to offer yourself.
Letting go of what is no longer needed.
Allowing your whole body to feel heavy and relaxed.
Feeling warm.
Safe.
Peaceful.
Contents.
Comfortable.
Loved and calm.
When you feel ready,
Give yourself complete permission to fall deep into a beautiful night's sleep.
Thanking your body for all that it does every day.
I appreciate you.
I'm grateful for this moment.
I'm grateful for you for taking this time for yourself.
I see you.
I value you.
Take this moment to realise how worthy you are.
You are worthy.
I love you.
Thank you for joining me on this meditation.
I wish you a beautiful night's sleep.
There is no need to bring your attention back into the room.
This is your time to drift off to sleep.
Have the sweetest of dreams knowing that you are completely safe.
Namaste.
Thank you.
