About this episode
Unwind and let go with a soothing bedtime meditation, guiding you softly into restful peace.
0:00
To begin, find a position that feels comfortable for you.
0:06
You might be sitting in a chair, or perhaps lying down.
0:13
Allow your body to feel supported by the surface beneath it.
0:20
And when you feel ready, gently allow your eyes to close.
0:27
Let the day begin to fall away.
0:31
There is nothing you need to do right now.
0:36
Nowhere you need to be.
0:39
Simply arrive here, in this moment.
0:43
Bring your awareness to your breath.
0:47
There is no need to change it in any way.
0:52
No need to make it deeper or slower.
0:56
Just notice its natural rhythm.
1:00
The gentle, automatic flow of air… in and out.
1:06
Follow one full breath from its beginning to its end.
1:12
And then another.
1:14
Notice where you feel the breath most clearly in your body.
1:21
It might be the feeling of cool air entering your nostrils.
1:28
And the slightly warmer air as you exhale.
1:33
Cool air in.
1:35
Warm air out.
1:36
Or maybe you notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest.
1:43
Or your abdomen.
1:45
A gentle expansion on the inhale.
1:49
And a soft release on the exhale.
1:53
Choose one of these sensations to rest your attention on.
2:00
Using it as an anchor.
2:03
Something to hold you in this present moment.
2:08
Your mind will wander.
2:11
That is what minds do.
2:13
Thoughts of the day may arise.
2:17
Plans for tomorrow might appear.
2:21
When you notice your attention has drifted… that is a moment of awareness itself.
2:31
A small victory.
2:33
There is no need for judgment.
2:36
No need to criticize yourself.
2:40
Simply notice where your mind has gone.
2:45
And then, very gently… guide your attention back.
2:50
Back to the feeling of your breath.
2:55
Back to the coolness of the inhale.
2:59
The warmth of the exhale.
3:02
The rise and fall of your body.
3:06
You may have to do this many times.
3:10
And each time you do… you are practicing.
3:15
Each return is a moment of quiet care.
3:19
Letting thoughts come and go like clouds passing in the sky.
3:27
You are the sky.
3:28
The thoughts are just weather passing through.
3:34
You can remain still… and simply watch them drift by.
3:40
Resting in the space between your thoughts.
3:46
Resting in the steady rhythm of your breath.
3:51
Inhale.
3:52
And exhale.
3:53
Letting go of the day with each breath out.
3:58
Allowing your body to soften.
4:02
Allowing your mind to quiet.
4:05
Take one more moment here.
4:08
In this stillness.
4:10
In this quiet.
4:12
And when you feel ready, you can begin to bring your awareness back.
4:20
Gently notice the sounds in the room around you.
4:26
Feel the air on your skin.
4:29
The day is complete.
4:31
You can rest now.
