About this episode
Unwind and let go with a soothing bedtime meditation, guiding you gently into restful sleep.
0:00
Your body holds the story of your day in over six hundred muscles.
0:09
In our last time together, we spoke of unwinding and letting go.
0:17
Tonight, we will do just that… one piece at a time.
0:24
Begin by finding a comfortable position.
0:30
Lying down, if that feels right for you.
0:35
Let your arms rest by your sides, palms facing up if you wish.
0:44
And when you’re ready, allow your eyes to gently close.
0:52
Bring your awareness to your breath.
0:57
Without needing to change it… simply notice it.
1:03
Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest or your belly.
1:11
Feel the air as it enters your body… and feel it as it leaves.
1:20
With each inhale, imagine you are breathing in calm.
1:27
With each exhale, imagine you are releasing the day.
1:34
Letting it all go.
1:37
Now, bring your attention to the very top of your head.
1:44
Imagine a feeling of warmth and softness beginning there.
1:52
Feel your scalp soften and release.
1:57
Let this gentle wave of relaxation flow down over your forehead… smoothing out any lines of effort.
2:10
Allow your eyebrows to drift apart.
2:15
Feel the small, busy muscles around your eyes let go.
2:23
Notice the space behind your eyes… let it become heavy and quiet.
2:32
Let your jaw unclench.
2:35
Allow a little space to grow between your upper and lower teeth.
2:43
Your tongue can rest gently in your mouth.
2:49
This wave of softness now moves down into your neck and your shoulders.
2:59
This is a place where we so often carry the weight of the day.
3:07
On your next exhale, imagine that weight simply melting.
3:15
Dropping away from your ears.
3:19
Dissolving down through your arms… your elbows… your wrists… and out through your fingertips.
3:32
Your arms grow heavy and warm.
3:36
Your hands are at rest.
3:39
Nothing to hold.
3:41
Nothing to do.
3:43
Bring your awareness now to your torso.
3:49
Your chest and your belly.
3:52
Feeling the gentle, rhythmic movement of your breath here.
4:00
Feel the space around your heart open just a little.
4:07
Allow your belly to be soft.
4:11
Releasing any tightness or tension you might be holding here.
4:20
Feel your entire back, from your shoulders to your hips, fully supported by the surface beneath you.
4:34
Every point of contact is a point of release.
4:40
Letting you sink just a little deeper.
4:45
Let this feeling of release continue down into your hips… your pelvis… and into your legs.
4:57
The large muscles of your thighs letting go of their grip.
5:05
All the standing, walking, and moving of the day is done.
5:13
This gentle warmth flows down through your knees… your calves… your ankles… all the way to your feet.
5:27
Feel the soles of your feet begin to tingle with release.
5:35
As if all the miles you walked today are finally dissolving away.
5:44
And finally, your toes.
5:47
Let each one soften.
5:50
Each one letting go.
5:53
Now, for a moment, feel your entire body at once.
5:59
From the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
6:06
A single field of peaceful sensation.
6:11
Heavy.
6:12
Calm.
6:13
And still.
6:14
There is nothing left to do.
6:18
There is nowhere else to be.
6:22
You are simply here, resting in this moment.
6:28
Let any remaining thoughts pass by like clouds in a vast, quiet sky.
6:37
They are not yours to hold tonight.
6:42
Your only work now is rest.
6:46
Sleep well.
