Sleep Longer

Welcome,

And thank you for dedicating this time to your well-being.

Tonight we embark on a soothing journey,

Guiding you gently into deep,

Peaceful slumber.

So make yourself comfortable,

Find a position that feels just right for you,

And allow your eyes to close just softly.

Take a deep breath in,

And as you exhale,

Imagine releasing any tension,

Any worries,

Any lingering thoughts from your day.

Each breath you take brings you closer to a state of deep relaxation.

Inhaling calm,

And exhaling stress.

Focus on your breathing.

Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest.

With each breath,

You're becoming more relaxed,

More and more relaxed.

So inhale deeply,

Hold it for a moment,

And then exhale slowly.

Feel the relaxation spreading through your body.

Now imagine a warm,

Soothing wave of relaxation,

Beginning at the top of your head.

Beginning at the top of your head,

This wave represents pure tranquility,

And as it moves down,

It brings a profound sense of calm with it.

So feel this wave at the top of your head,

Gently warming your scalp.

As it moves down your forehead,

Feel the muscles in your forehead soften and smooth out.

Any tension simply melts away.

This wave travels to your eyes,

Your cheeks,

And your jaw.

Allow your jaw just to hang loose.

Releasing any tightness.

As the wave moves down your neck and shoulders,

Feel a wave of relaxation washing over you.

Your shoulders drop,

Letting go of any burdens they've been carrying.

Imagine this wave moving down your arms now,

One by one.

It reaches your upper arms,

Your elbows,

Your forearms,

And finally your hands and fingers.

Each part it touches becomes completely relaxed,

Heavy,

And relaxed.

And at ease.

Feel the wave now spreading across your chest,

Filling your lungs with soothing warmth.

Your breathing becomes even more calm and even more rhythmic.

With every breath,

You sink deeper and deeper into relaxation.

Feel the wave move to your stomach,

Easing any tension there,

And then down to your hips and pelvis.

Feel your hips sinking into the surface beneath you,

Feeling fully supported and relaxed.

As the wave continues down each leg,

It brings with it a profound sense of calm.

It travels through your thighs,

Your knees,

Your calves,

And all the way down to your ankles,

Feet,

And toes.

Every part of your body is now bathed in this soothing wave,

Completely relaxed,

Completely at peace.

Now that your body is fully relaxed,

I want you to imagine a place where you can feel completely safe and serene.

This could be a real place,

A memory from your past,

Or a place you create entirely in your mind.

So picture it as vividly as you can.

Notice the colors,

The sounds,

The smells,

And the ambience.

The sounds,

The smells,

And the overall feeling of safety and tranquility.

In this place,

You feel a deep sense of calm.

You're free from all worries,

Free from all concerns.

This is your sanctuary,

A place where you can rest deeply and peacefully.

As you continue to explore this safe place,

You might notice a soft,

Comfortable bed or a cozy hammock inviting you to rest.

Allow yourself to lie down in this comforting space,

Feeling the support beneath you.

Now imagine that you're a leaf gently floating on a calm river.

The water is cool and clear,

And it's supporting you.

Feel yourself becoming lighter and lighter,

As if you're made of air.

With every breath you take,

The river carries you further into relaxation.

Now imagine that you're a leaf floating on a calm river.

The river carries you further into relaxation.

As you float along the river,

You notice the beautiful scenery around you.

The trees are tall and majestic,

Their leaves rustling gently in the breeze.

This river represents the flow of your thoughts,

Gentle and calm.

Now imagine descending slowly from the river,

Gently landing on the soft ground.

You walk along the path,

Feeling the soft earth beneath your feet.

With every step,

You go deeper into relaxation.

The air is fresh,

Filled with the scent of pine and earth.

The sound of birds singing and leaves rustling creates a soothing melody that calms your mind.

As you walk deeper into the forest,

You come across a beautiful,

Serene meadow.

The grass is soft and inviting,

The flowers gently swaying in the breeze.

This meadow represents your mind,

A place of peace and tranquility.

Find a comfortable spot in the meadow and sit down.

Feel the softness of the grass beneath you.

And as you do,

Feel any remaining tension or stress just melt away,

Carried away by the gentle breeze.

Take a moment to just sit here in the meadow,

Feeling completely at peace.

The gentle sound of the wind,

The soft rustling of the leaves,

And the distant call of birds create a perfect symphony of relaxation.

Now imagine this meadow has a small,

Inviting cabin.

Step into the meadow,

And you will find a beautiful,

Serene place.

Step inside the cabin,

And allow it to envelop you in a sense of warmth and comfort.

The cabin is cozy,

With a soft,

Inviting bed.

This bed represents your ideal sleep,

A place where you can rest deeply and undisturbed.

Imagine lying down in this bed,

Feeling the soft sheets and the supportive mattress beneath you.

As you sink into this bed,

Feel a wave of relaxation washing over you,

Carrying you even deeper,

Deeper into relaxation.

Look up at the ceiling of the cabin.

It's adorned with soft,

Glowing stars,

Casting a gentle light over the room.

Each star represents a thought,

And as you watch them glow,

Notice how they come to life.

Allow any thoughts that come to mind to simply drift away like these stars.

Feel yourself sinking even deeper,

And you will find that you are not alone in this world.

Your body becoming heavier,

And more at ease with each passing moment.

You're in a place of perfect peace,

A place where you can rest deeply and undisturbed.

Now let's revisit the soothing wave of relaxation,

This time allowing it to guide you into an even deeper state of relaxation.

The soothing wave of relaxation allows you to be in a state of deep,

Deep relaxation.

Allowing it to guide you into an even deeper state of relaxation.

Feel the wave at the top of your head once again.

As it moves down,

It brings with it an even greater sense of calm and peace.

Feel it moving down your forehead,

Your eyes,

Your cheeks,

And your jaw.

Your face is completely relaxed,

Free from any tension.

As the wave moves down your neck and shoulders,

Feel them becoming even more relaxed.

Even more at ease.

The wave travels down your arms,

Your chest,

Your stomach,

Your hips,

Your legs,

And finally all the way down to your feet and toes.

Your entire body is now deeply and profoundly relaxed.

Now I want you to imagine that within this serene forest,

There's a hidden sanctuary.

This sanctuary is a haven of sleep,

A place where you can rest deeply and peacefully.

As you approach the sanctuary,

You notice its beautiful architecture.

The soothing energy that emanates from it.

Step inside the sanctuary,

Feeling the cool,

Calm air envelop you.

Inside you find a beautiful,

Comfortable bed,

Perfectly made just for you.

This bed represents your ideal sleep,

A place where you can rest deeply and undisturbed.

Lie down on this bed,

Feeling the soft sheets and the supportive mattress beneath you.

As you sink into the bed,

Feel a wave of relaxation washing over you,

Carrying you even deeper into calmness.

In this sanctuary of sleep,

You're safe,

You're at peace.

Any worries or concerns simply melt away,

Unable to penetrate this sanctuary.

Here you can let go completely,

Knowing that you'll sleep deeply and wake up refreshed and rejuvenated.

The deeper you go,

The more restful your sleep will be.

If you're ready to let go completely,

You can let go of all your worries and anxieties.

If you're ready to let go completely,

You can let go of all your worries and anxieties.

If you're ready to let go completely,

To surrender to the soothing embrace of sleep.

Now,

As you lie here,

Deeply relaxed,

I'll count down from 10 to 1.

With each number,

You'll feel yourself drifting even deeper drifting even deeper into a state of perfect restful sleep.

10.

Feeling your body becoming heavier,

Sinking into the bed.

9.

Deeper and deeper into relaxation.

8.

Letting go completely,

Feeling safe and at peace.

7.

Drifting further,

Your mind becoming quiet and still.

6.

Feeling the warmth of the soothing wave enveloping you.

7.

Drifting further,

Your mind becoming quiet and still.

5.

Deeper and deeper now,

Completely at ease.

4.

Floating on the edge of consciousness,

Ready to let go.

3.

Almost there,

Feeling deeply relaxed.

2.

So close to perfect sleep.

And 1.

Completely relaxed,

Completely at peace.

You are now in a state of deep restful sleep.

You'll stay asleep all night,

Undisturbed.

And you'll wake up in the morning feeling refreshed,

Rejuvenated,

And ready for the day ahead.

In this state of deep sleep,

Your body is healing,

Your mind is resting,

And you're preparing for a new day.

You are safe,

You're at peace,

And you are deeply,

Deeply asleep.

Sleep well,

And know that you can return to this place of peace and relaxation whenever you need.

Sweet dreams.

Namaste.
