Hi,
This is Angie with The Balance Warrior.
Thank you for joining me as I lead you on a relaxing guided meditation which you could use as a bedtime meditation to fall asleep,
A nap time meditation,
Or just to take a break and relax.
Just be sure to set yourself a personal alarm if you are using this as a nap meditation in case you fall asleep.
Before we begin this meditation,
Get yourself comfortable and ready for bed.
Adjust your pillows and blankets and get into the most comfortable position for you.
Close your eyes.
This meditation will be focused on relaxation and positive affirmations that will help guide you into a deep sleep.
Positive affirmations are also a powerful tool to help our minds manifest the thoughts and feelings that we want the universe to bring to us.
Our thoughts do not control us.
We can harness them to work for us.
You can change your subconscious conditioning by changing the language you use.
What you put out to the universe,
The universe brings back to you.
Begin by taking a deep breath in,
Expanding your belly,
And breathe out completely.
Inhale deeply,
Exhale slowly.
Feel the sensation of the weight of your body in your bed.
Notice how the blankets feel on top of your skin.
Start to notice your breathing,
And notice if you're holding any tension anywhere in your body from the day.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Notice the way the air feels as it enters and leaves your nose or mouth.
Do what's most comfortable for you.
For the next few moments,
I will guide you through a gentle body scan that will help you to release tension throughout your body,
Bringing you into a deeper state of relaxation.
As we go through this body scan,
Notice any tension that you're holding,
And breathe into that area,
Visualizing the tension melting into your bed as you breathe out,
Sinking deeper and deeper into relaxation.
Begin by bringing your awareness to the tips of your toes.
Slowly move your tension through the tops and bottoms of your feet,
Up over your ankles.
Notice any tension in your lower legs.
And upwards over your knees,
To the top of your legs,
All around your hips,
Through your tummy.
Take a deep breath in through your belly,
Expanding your belly and releasing.
After you breathe out,
Breathe in,
Scanning up to your lower and upper ribs,
And upper chest,
Through your neck,
To your jaw.
Breathe into your jaw muscles,
Letting your mouth and tongue relax in the back of your throat,
Through your cheeks,
Your eyes.
Breathe into your eyes,
And as you breathe out,
Let tension around your eyes melt away.
Slowly come up through your forehead.
We hold a lot of tension in our foreheads.
See that letting go.
Scan up towards the top of your head,
Relaxing your ears.
And finally,
The top of your head.
Over the next 10 seconds,
Take a few more deep breaths on your own.
And in the areas which you noticed you're holding the most tension,
Bring your awareness back to those areas and take a couple of deep breaths into those areas,
Visualizing yourself sinking deeper and deeper into relaxation.
10 9 8 You are sinking deeper into relaxation.
7 6 5 Your body is gently softening into the surface beneath you.
4 Your thoughts are floating away like clouds in the wind.
3 Deeper and deeper into relaxation.
2 Your mind is calm and your body is completely relaxed.
1 You are now in a deep state of relaxation.
Listen to these words as you drift off to sleep and let them absorb into your mind while you're just breathing naturally and effortlessly.
I am loved.
I am enough.
Good things are happening.
I have everything I need.
I am worthy of my dreams.
I am imperfectly perfect.
I surrender to the universe and accept all of its gifts with open arms.
I am grateful for every moment that led me here.
I have an abundance of love,
Health,
Happiness,
Money,
And strength.
I am creating the energy that allows abundance to flow to me.
In this moment,
I have everything in the world that I need.
I surround myself with people who lift me up and make me feel good.
I am confident.
I am secure.
I am content.
I am relaxed.
I am calm.
I embrace a deep restful sleep.
Good night.
You
