Welcome to this deep sleep meditation.
I'll invite you to find a comfortable position laying down.
And as you lay here,
Allow yourself to sink into whatever is below you.
Releasing the need to carry any weight,
Any tension,
Any tightness,
Any gripping.
Spend the first few moments just easing,
Easing into relaxation,
Into softening,
Into letting go.
Notice your breath.
Notice how it expands into the side of the ribcage.
Notice how it expands into the back of the body.
Notice the texture of the breath,
The length of the breath,
The quality of the breath.
Now I'll invite you to bring your attention to any places of tension in the body.
Bringing your awareness to these parts of the body and sending your breath into these areas.
Notice the feeling it brings you.
Notice the sensation as the body relaxes into a deeper state of stillness,
As the breathing lengthens and deepens.
Notice this state.
Notice the feeling,
The sensation arising.
Keeping your awareness and attention to the breath and the body.
As we stay longer in this restful state,
Notice what happens in the mind.
If the thoughts arise,
Gently let them pass like a slow conveyor belt.
Notice how many things are on that conveyor belt.
And as time passes,
See if you can lessen the things on that conveyor belt.
Lessen the speed of that conveyor belt.
With less thoughts flowing at once.
And if it's hard for you at this moment,
Just notice.
Acknowledge it,
Without changing it,
Without fixing it,
Without making it mean anything about yourself.
Just notice that your mind may be running right now,
And that's okay.
As time passes,
Notice what happens.
Notice the thoughts and how they relate to the feeling in your body.
Notice the thoughts,
Notice how they relate to your breath.
And as we sit here for a few more moments,
Notice your whole body.
From the head,
To the fingertips,
To the toes.
Take a deep breath in.
And a long,
Full breath out.
I will leave you in this restful state.
I wish you a great night ahead.
