Meditation for deep uninterrupted sleep.
First acknowledge that you have a desire to change the way you sleep in a more harmonious and peaceful way.
And by knowing this,
Know that you are another step closer to a full and restful sleep.
As you sink into your bed,
Imagine a meter off to the side.
And this meter has numbers on it.
And these numbers represent how relaxed you feel right now.
The higher the number,
The more awake you feel.
And the lower the number,
The more relaxed and comfortable your body feels.
Notice what number the meter is displaying to you right now.
Whatever the number is,
Begin to slowly raise that number to a slightly more awake state.
Notice how you feel.
What areas of your body did you feel a subtle change?
Did you feel a change at all?
Now begin to lower,
Watching the numbers decrease and lessen.
And they lower surprisingly easily.
And as you watch the numbers descend,
You too begin to feel your body retreat.
Dropping into the earth,
Completely and effortlessly deeper down.
Giving yourself permission to have a peaceful night's sleep.
To be well rested upon waking.
To give yourself permission to let go of that which does not belong in this space.
To give yourself permission to sleep.
The whole night through,
Fully satisfied and refreshed to start the next day.
And that if you do find yourself waking up in the middle of the night,
That you find it surprisingly easy to fall into a deep,
Comforting rest.
Remembering you can always lower the number on your meter at any time.
Knowing how easy the numbers can change.
How you want them to be.
Completely effortless.
You deserve this rest.
You are open to the comforts that deep sleep has to offer you.
And with every exhale,
You give yourself permission to let go even more.
Even more dropping down,
Sinking deeper into comfort.
And as you rest comfortably and effortlessly,
Continue to breathe in and out the waves of the ocean upon the shore.
Soft but continuing,
Never ending.
Over and over again,
Relax into it.
Rest in its arms.
Fall back into its embrace.
And float upon the currents of unconditional love that surrounds you.
And as the velvet darkness wraps its arms around you,
And cradles you in its embrace,
You continue to breathe in and out.
In and out.
And you're carried away in the currents of the great ocean of all that is.
And as you float,
Staring up at the stars with the depths of the infinite sea at your back,
And spread out all around you to the horizon of infinity,
You are at once.
Sweet dreams.
