This is a relaxing meditation to reduce stress and help you sleep.
Take your way to a comfortable position,
Take a moment to settle in,
Relax and let all of your tension melt away.
Leave the stresses of the day behind you.
Take a deep breath in,
Feeling your stomach rise.
Let out a big sigh as you exhale.
Another deep breath in and a big sigh out.
Imagine you are carrying around a bag of rocks with all your worries in it.
It is making your body tense,
Causing you to hold tension in your jaw,
Neck,
Shoulders and chest.
Now take this bag off and pull it down.
Carrying these rocks around are not going to be of use to you.
Feel how light you are now without it.
Breathe as you notice your body relax.
Relax your face,
Shoulders,
Chest and stomach.
Release all the tension in your body.
Disconnect from any distracting thoughts.
Like the clouds in the sky,
Let your thoughts pass by without attaching to them.
It's normal for your mind to get distracted by plans,
Worries and things to do.
Let go of any anxious or stressful thoughts or plans for the future.
Worrying about this now is not going to help.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
In and out.
In and out.
In and out.
In and out.
In and out.
In and out.
In and out.
Breathe in calm.
Breathe out stress.
Breathe in relaxation.
Breathe out tension.
Breathe in peace.
Breathe out worry.
Breathe in love.
Breathe out fear.
Notice how light your body is.
You may feel like you are floating.
Imagine you are floating in the warm sea.
Relax and let your mind drift off to sleep.
Let go of your worries.
Let go of your stresses.
Let go of any tension.
Everything is going to be okay.
Everything is going to work out.
You are safe.
You are grounded.
You are relaxed.
You are calm.
You are content.
You are peace.
