Hey friend. Welcome to this supremely calming sleep meditation. Which draws on scientifically supported techniques. To help soothe your nervous system. Quiet your mind. Relax your body. And guide you into a deep sleep. Restorative sleep. I'll guide you through. Some slow, Rhythmic breathing. A full-body relaxation. And a visualization. For now. Go ahead and find a comfortable position in bed. Making sure you've turned off the lights. Set any sleep timers or alarms. And handled anything else you might need to. Because once you lie down, And begin this meditation. It's time to let go of everything else. Just relax. And settle into sleep. And once you've settled into that most comfortable position, Just rest your gaze there. On the wall or the ceiling. Whatever's out in front of you. And I know this seems counterintuitive. But it's very effective for. . . Inducing the body into a state of relaxation. So as I count down from five to one. You can slowly allow your eyes to close. Starting at five. Beginning to let go. Of the day just passed. And opening yourself up. To a peaceful and restful night. For. Noticing that growing weight. And your eyelids. As we come to three. And they may begin to flicker and flutter. As we arrive at two. At holding on for just a moment. A few more seconds. Maybe even seeing only through the tiniest slit. In your eyelids. Until we finally reach one. And you allow your eyes to close all the way down. Feeling the muscles in and around your eyes. Relaxing completely. And feeling that ease. And relaxation. Spread all across your face. Softening the muscles of your forehead. Your cheeks. Your jaw. As a wave of relaxation forms. And spreads through your whole body. Completely relaxing each part. That it moves through. Starting with your neck. And your shoulders. Just allowing the muscles to soften. Attention. To release. As that wave spreads down both arms. Across your elbows. Through your forearms. Into your hands. And to the tip of each and every finger. And as it does so. Your arms can relax all the way down. Releasing completely. As that wave continues on. Through your chest. Down your back. Softening every articulation. In your spine. Easing the muscles in your core. Your abdomen. And your hips. As your whole upper body now. Releases. And sinks even deeper. Into the bed. And that wave continues on. Down your thighs. Across your knees. Your calves. Your ankles. All the way through your feet. To the tips of your toes. And at the very moment. That wave of relaxation. Has passed completely through your entire body. It's as though a signal. Of safety and comfort. Is sent out. Through every cell of your being. As though there's a switch for your body. And you just flipped that switch. All the way out. Sinking deeper. Relaxing further. Softening. More and more. As you take a few calming breaths, Inhaling. Collecting any lingering tension. Hold for just a second at the top. And then exhale completely. Softening even deeper down into the bed. Twice more just like that. Even deeper this time. Inhale. Home. And exhale. Release. And settle deeper. Last one. Inhale. Make it your deepest breath yet. Hold. And then exhale. Release. Softening again. All of the muscles in your body. Letting go. Releasing the weight of the day. All of the conversations. And the worries. And the to-dos. Because right now. You have absolutely nothing to do. No one to show up for. No role that you need to play. You can simply enjoy this time for peace and quiet. Knowing that we all fall asleep. In our own way. And on our own time. So I invite you to let go. Of any expectations. Or beliefs. Or thoughts whatsoever. About how you've slept in the past. Or how you might sleep tonight. And simply exist. Here in this moment of perfect stillness. Enjoy this. Because when we're running around. Busy. Stress. There's nothing we want more. And to just. . . Lie down. And close our eyes. And right now. You have that. And to make this time. Even more enjoyable. I invite you to. Bring to mind. A place of profound peace and relaxation. Whether it's a place from your own real life. Or one you are imagining a. It doesn't really matter. Whatever it is. Just envision yourself there now. Resting in a comfortable position. Noticing the sensations that this place brings to your body. In your mind. Noticing the smell of the air. The sounds going on around you. And simply letting go. Of all worries. Knowing. Adhere. You are safe. You are at peace. And you can simply relax. Leaving behind? The happenings of the day just passed. Embracing this time. For ease and comfort. Each breath. Guiding you deeper and deeper. Into relaxation. All thoughts. Drifting farther. And farther. Finding gratitude. For the peace and stillness you feel. Right here. And right now. Appreciating. The people in your life. Who make it even the tiniest bit better. Trusting your body and your mind. To follow their own. Natural processes. And finding exactly as much sleep. As you need tonight. Resting assured. That you'll awake in the morning. Feeling completely rejuvenated. Completely restored. With a positive mindset. About your life. And the day ahead. But for now. Just continuing to enjoy. Relaxing here. In your own peaceful place. Sending out a silent thank you. To this place. Just for existing. And offering you somewhere to escape to. And as the experience of this peaceful place. Washes over you more and more. You feel yourself. Relaxing deeper. The muscles of your face. Softening even further. Your body. Melting completely. Into the bed. And as the physical body. Progressively relaxes more. In this way. It acts as a guide. For the mind. To find a similar space. Of complete ease. Of quiet. Or thoughts. And worries.
