Sleep Meditation | On The Road To Sleep | Relax

Never listen to recordings like these while driving or using machinery.

Only listen in a safe environment.

Welcome to this guided sleep meditation,

In which the sleep-inducing sonorous sound of a car engine gradually leads you to sleep and sweet dreams.

And maybe you know or recognize this,

That you're sitting in a car,

A bus or a train,

And the mellow sun shines through the windows,

Making you feel utmost carefree and at ease.

As if you are on holiday or heading to a certain destination and then really only want one thing,

To keep driving and driving,

And that the ride just keeps going on and on and on and on through the soothing landscapes of your imagination,

As you feel more languid and tired and eventually slip into sleep easily.

Hi,

My name is Paola Bissou and today I'm taking you on a soothing,

Relaxing,

Comfortable road trip with the final destination being a wonderful deep sleep.

And I now kindly suggest that you lie down in a position that most comforts and supports you,

Making you feel completely at ease,

In a state where it's easiest to let go of all the worries and hassles of the past day that have kept you so busy.

They simply slip away from you.

It's now evening or already night and it's about time you fell asleep and have a wonderfully pleasant night's rest.

And you realize there's always a tomorrow and you fully recognize that there's nothing you can do or change right now.

Tomorrow is just another day and it's wisest to start there rested,

Fresh and sharp.

And therefore it's right,

And very smart besides,

To put the day behind you.

It has been.

Everything,

Really everything from the past 24 hours is behind you.

And that means the ultimate moment is here to gently close your eyes.

Now.

The perfect time to become utterly relaxed is now.

And you will find that you become more relaxed,

So much more relaxed when you breathe pure,

Fresh air.

And within a moment I kindly invite you to take a few slower,

Deeper breaths.

Inhale slightly deeper and then exhale completely.

Breathe in deeply for the first time,

Filling your lungs with fresh,

Cleansing air.

And sense how tension leaves your body on the exhale and with each subsequent exhale.

Breathe calmly in and imagine yourself breathing out stress over and over.

Let it all go.

Release.

Let it dissipate from your body,

Your system.

And inhale one more time,

Slowly and deeply,

Filling your lungs,

Your body with healing air.

And then exhale fully.

Imagine it's the expanded version of breathing out everything.

That has lost its meaning and no longer serves you.

Letting go of everything you want to let go of.

Increasingly relaxed.

You can relax now.

Just give yourself every possible permission to relax.

Please,

Take all the space you need to relax deeply and take a moment to bring your breathing back to its natural rhythm.

That's right.

And as you continue to breathe calmly,

Imagine that you are in a quiet and serene place in a pleasant building.

You're sitting on a luxurious,

Comfy,

Leather office chair.

And become aware that the end of this day has come and it's almost the minute to go.

While sitting there,

Pleasantly relaxed and very laid back,

You become aware of a staircase outside the room.

Your gaze falls upon it and it's a beautiful staircase with a polished,

Graceful handrail.

And on the steps going down is a thick,

Red,

High-pile carpet.

And what strikes you is that it looks so enticing and inviting.

Slowly you get up,

Walk to the door,

Discovering that there are ten steps leading down that open up into a roomy hallway where a large,

Automatic sliding door leading outside is already visible.

And every now and then you do things that make you think later on.

Hey,

Was I the one?

Was that me deciding?

And now there's one of those moments that you decide to enter to embark on an ultimate experience of enjoyment.

You take off your shoes and socks and prepare to descend the stairs on your bare feet down all ten steps.

The steps that lead to more relaxation with every step you take.

Whilst you take in the stairs once more,

Ten steps that most surely lead you down,

Further down,

All the way down.

And you recognise these are the steps that will lead you down to profound dreams,

Unparalleled relaxation and healthy,

Deep sleep.

And in a moment I will ask you that you walk down those steps with me and I will count them for you,

One by one.

And you will find that the deeper you go down,

The more comfortable you will feel and the more relaxed you will become after taking each step.

When you are ready to walk down the stairs bare feet,

I want you to thoughtfully place one hand on the banister and in the other you'll hold your shoes and slowly begin to descend the stairs as I count from ten to one.

Ten.

You take the first step and feel your feet sink into the high bile red carpet and it relaxes you because it feels so blissful.

And nine.

The softness of the fabric under your bare feet makes you feel incomparably comfortable and it's like floating to a eight.

More and more relaxed state of being and it's heavenly to undergo.

Seven.

Comfortable,

Marvelously soft,

Relaxing deeper and even deeper.

And six.

And five.

Surrendering to the lavish,

All-encompassing blissful feeling and it's heavenly to undergo.

Descending into an unprecedented state of being relaxed.

Four.

More comfortable,

More contentment,

Sinking further and deeper into relaxation.

Three.

More and more and even more relaxed.

Total surrender to tranquility.

And two.

Almost down now.

One more step to go.

And one.

You've arrived at the deepest level.

All the way down.

Landed at ground level in an ultimate state of relaxation.

And it seems like you've reached dreamland where the difference between the everyday world and dreams blend together.

And as you take a step towards the sliding door daily life gets lost.

It dissolves and is behind you and you enter your dreams.

As if you were walking into them while quietly putting on your socks and shoes before taking a step towards the large sliding glass door.

Utterly relaxed and at peace with the world.

You're now in front of the big glass door and it's locked.

But you can open it because you know exactly where the button is.

And when you press right there this door will slide open.

Because you're sure and really want to go through it and see what's on the other side.

Because you know for sure somehow that there's a magnificent place and that a dream adventure is waiting for you right there.

Walk to the button now.

Press it.

Just press it.

It takes a moment and then suddenly with a click followed by a dull pop after some hesitation the door opens.

And you know with a dull pop after some hesitation the door opens smoothly.

And you walk forward when the glass double doors open all the way and walk outside and stand still for a moment.

You hear that the door is closing determinately behind you.

You turn your head slightly and see that the double doors are closed.

That's okay just as it should be.

You look in front of you and notice that you are alone.

The streets are quiet and deserted in this place among tall office buildings.

And you experience it as a very significant place and you feel inside that something special is about to happen as you wait here on the sidewalk.

You take a quiet breath and know that it's going to happen within a few moments.

And then silently a beautiful car drives by and it's your favorite car and it's like you've been waiting for this to happen.

And I know that you know exactly what this car looks like.

The color the design and the way it makes you feel inside when you see it.

You open its door and step inside.

And as you settle into the soft cushions you realize you are about to embark on a long relaxing drive.

A relaxing,

Soothing road trip past dreams on the way to sleep.

And the engine comes to life.

The engine hums and this dream adventure has set off.

Deftly you maneuver out of the city towards endless roads.

And soon you're whizzing along a peaceful,

Restful road.

Driving over the gray asphalt the white dashed stripe in the middle the unbroken stripes left and dried.

The sky is calm and bright blue and a white cloud floats in the far distance.

The road before you stretches out stretched seemingly endless promising a journey full of peace beauty and serenity.

The land all around is flat and green vibrant green and you zoom gliding through the landscape accompanied by the sonorous,

Sleep-inducing sound of the engine.

Feeling freed and you can choose wherever you go.

Filled with feelings of unlimitedness and independence.

Such a feeling of ultimate personal freedom which you now breathe in and feel coursing through your veins.

The journey of your life confident letting go of all control because you trust your journey its quality the experience.

And it no longer matters if the journey is bumpy or winding you can handle it and you will feel you can handle it because you've already taken so many bumps on your journey through life.

And satisfied deeply satisfied you zoom onward through the landscape where the shining sun illuminates the asphalt and it's as if a pool of water has gathered on the road.

There at a great distance and as soon as you approach it dissolves and disappears.

And further ahead of you it continues and remains ever perceptible as you glide and whizz along.

You and this splendid car that takes you wherever you want to go.

Driving through dreamscapes while the sun still shines and still shines and warms you.

And it's the solid warmth that makes you ever more languid in this lingering eternal peace where it's good to reside.

And you perceive the car's extremely subtle vibrations as it glides smoothly along the road.

The rhythmic humming of the engine and the wind blowing around the windows become like a soothing lullaby that soothes your body and lulls your thoughts to sleep.

As the road stretches on and on and you drive past dream landscapes surrounded by vast green fields.

These you pass by bathed in the gradually softening sunlight.

Now that this celestial body has already started to descend a bit as you descend further and further into rest sleep and peaceful dreams.

As if completely immersed in zen while all kinds of landscapes flutter by.

At slow speed what feels meditative and dreamy and your senses take turns demanding attention as you briefly focus on many aspects such as the colorful details of the leaves and branches adorning the trees and all the other surprises that pass by along the way.

You're being captured for a moment by the distinctive aromas carried by the wind that are reaching you that are reaching you through one of the windows that is slightly open or maybe through the open roof reminding you of food you've once tasted or a smell from long ago or a childhood memory and just after that you briefly but intently catch the sound of the wheels driving over gravel that grinds merrily sounding like a new kind of music almost a promise to your ears through which everything ordinary reminds you that there is always beauty around you and that you are always surrounded by it even beyond your dreams and your ordinary life.

During car rides during car rides the landscape shows you these gifts with which you are always surrounded so tangible and heartwarming and you can pause whenever or wherever you want during this seemingly everlasting car ride and during these breaks you have the chance to appreciate the reality of yet another new environment and through the stillness over there you can decide to free yourself from what was in order to walk your own path or just start appreciating more of what you have while merging into the flow of life and as the car roars on along unknown unexplored roads your vivid experiences weave themselves like threads a spot of a colorful fresh tapestry that redefines you and you travel on onward and upward further and further down the road towards new dreams while you drive further forward the landscape keeps changing the road first ran along flat plates where the tall grass swayed in a gentle breeze past golden ears of corn where the golden hues of the landscape seemed to dance together the soft muted colors hanging in the air away from everything traveling the focus shifted to dreams completely riding the road to sleep where everything is set aside and you do things your way detached from your responsibilities your mind is completely detached from everything everything that can distract you is locked out and far which makes you feel comfortable and peaceful now during this dreamy sleep journey floating through the landscape and this ride this journey this road trip this road trip is as the equivalent of human wings the wings that take you where you want to go where you want to go wherever and every time you pause in a little village a campground or a motel you learn from the history and the stories of everyone you meet there there where you feel the solid ground under both your feet and all these stories get a place in your forever mind enriching your history which you will always carry with you recollecting these to add to your memory to enrich your own stories and creations recognizing narratives and experience have much more value than material things living life fully dreaming and living life to the fullest where every moment counts every moment on your path on this journey counts and please make today so beautiful that yesterday becomes envious this way you can fill every day with reminiscences of your journey and your travels will always give you opportunities to make memories and those will become a part of you and that's why every now is special is special and will open your eyes even more open your eyes even more to the small fine things that really matter mile after mile already many miles behind you with an empty and clear mind and as you sit or lie here it becomes clear that because of the miles you've travelled without purpose you've cleared your mind and a sense of peace has settled within you because you've made breathing space for yourself to relax to fully catch your breath at a calm and regular pace being on the road is really a way to grasp an opportunity to understand how to be on your own way even if only for a moment it makes you totally calm and peaceful when you breathe calm and peacefully and clearing your mind mile after mile you indulge yourself in peaceful dreaming and as you drive on the road leads you to majestic mountains that are now visible in the distance and you can see the towering mountain peaks rising before you against the clear blue sky a view that fills you with awe and grateful wonder the car whizzes effortlessly onwards and upwards offering more and more breathtaking views of the world below you and as you let the car gently climb upwards along curves and steep hairpin bends each turn reveals a new amazing scene yet another new sensation that makes you happy,

Delighted and grateful it gives you such a sense of freedom and aliveness you take another deep breath and notice that everything you experience positively overwhelms you and leaves you with a deep sense of peace like reaching the very top is a brand new chapter from your own novel from your own novel a book about your life adventures in which this stopover on your path on this dream journey is part of a program in which you stretch your comfort zone because every now and then you want to grow and sketch outside the lines outside your boundaries to stretch them because that's what makes you happy and incredibly proud the euphoria about your own growth that you so often muse about the expansion of your possibilities that's what really makes you feel alive while the car comes to a gentle halt at the top as you get up you notice the cool mountain air brushing against your face here at the summit you've reached a new high in life and it's one where you are surrounded by the art of nature which puts you in touch with your own greatness through which you feel both so strong and so vulnerable at the same time and also completely at ease and connected to the world you take all the space you need to take in all the beauty before getting back in the car and moving on and while you drive on you see the sun illuminating the clouds making them an orange yellow and then you witness something you could easily miss during these golden hours the moment when the sun gradually sinks through which day turns into evening and evening turns into night the beautiful orange yellow sky as if a magical holy fire is lit in the sky that touches your passion ignites a fire within you that never fades an extraordinary experience it's like a signal encouraging you to go further to dare and to be in touch with your inner resources it's like leaning on yourself relying on yourself on yet another level surrendering to whatever happens along the way on your path enriching your mind and nourishing your well-being the journey in itself is like an elixir for your mind making you crave for more a realization that you thrive immensely by leaning on your own state of independence and you long for more to happen on your path longing for unknown deeper realms and a course you've never set or dreamt of before awakened the desire to be met with the unknown and the ability to discover the unexplored inside or outside of you once you used to look for something along the way to contemplate whereas now you just enjoy what you've already found on your journey as if your mind seems to unclench and breathe as if you breathe an original,

Hitherto unknown air a breath of fresh air the atmosphere is still and the sun is preparing to set casting now a warm and softer glow on the horizon with muted colors in pastel orange and soft pink hues and slowly and surely the evening turns into the night in which you see the scarlet sky before you it's warming and you half open a window through which in addition to the reassuring sounds of the car the rustling of the leaves makes you realize that it's time to rest in a comfortable place receiving all the sounds that nature creates silence,

A sleep-inducing serene symphony while you rest and fall asleep under a blanket of sparkling stars and when you've finally found a place to sleep that suits you you settle in and let yourself fall into a deep and restful sleep in a relaxed mood,

As if you were relaxation itself surrounded by soothing sensations and the sweet memory of this road trip journey echoing and resonating within yourself as if an echo of calm peace accompanies you leading you to a rejuvenating and invigorating sleep the journey,

The endless road and all the different landscapes they all fade away as you surrender to the serenity of this night sleep,

Sleep now knowing that you are surrounded by calm tranquility and peace sweet dreams await you as you drift away in this restful slumber you're pulled along in tow by the soothing embrace of the night sleep delightfully sleep,

Dream dream delightfully sleep gently sleep peacefully sleep,

Sleep
