About this episode
Let go of tension and ease into restful stillness with this soothing, bedtime-guided meditation
0:00
Find a position that feels comfortable for you.
0:05
Lying down, or seated.
0:08
Whatever allows your body to feel supported.
0:13
Close your eyes, if that feels right.
0:17
And just begin to notice your breath.
0:22
Noticing the air as it enters your body.
0:26
And as it leaves.
0:28
There is no need to change anything.
0:33
Simply observing the natural rhythm of your breathing.
0:39
The gentle rise on the inhale.
0:43
And the soft fall on the exhale.
0:46
Each breath is a quiet anchor to this present moment.
0:53
Inhaling...
0:54
and exhaling.
0:56
Bring your awareness now to the space between your eyebrows.
1:03
Feel if there is any tension held there.
1:07
And on your next exhale, imagine that space softening.
1:14
Let that feeling of release travel down to your jaw.
1:20
Allowing your teeth to part slightly.
1:24
Letting your tongue rest gently in your mouth.
1:30
Notice your shoulders.
1:32
Perhaps they are drawn up toward your ears.
1:37
With your next breath out, invite them to drop.
1:43
To release the weight they have been carrying all day.
1:49
Feel this wave of softness move down your arms.
1:55
Through your elbows.
1:57
All the way to your fingertips.
2:01
Your hands can rest, open and soft.
2:05
Your awareness travels down through your torso.
2:11
Your back, fully supported by the surface beneath you.
2:17
Your stomach, rising and falling with each quiet breath.
2:24
Let this gentle attention move into your legs.
2:29
Your thighs.
2:31
Your knees.
2:32
Your calves.
2:33
All the way down to your feet.
2:37
Your whole body, now resting.
2:40
Feeling heavy and supported.
2:44
As you continue to breathe, you can consider the day that has passed.
2:52
The conversations.
2:54
The tasks.
2:55
The moments of effort.
2:58
You don't need to analyze them.
3:01
Or judge them.
3:03
Simply see them as clouds passing in the sky.
3:08
With each exhale, you can gently release one of these clouds.
3:16
Letting it drift away, dissolving into the air.
3:21
Releasing any thoughts that are still running.
3:27
Any conversations you are replaying.
3:31
Let them go with the out-breath.
3:35
Creating space.
3:37
Creating quiet.
3:38
The inhale brings quiet presence.
3:42
The exhale lets go of the day.
3:46
There is nothing else for you to do right now.
3:51
Nowhere else for you to be.
3:54
Just here.
3:56
In this quiet.
3:57
In this stillness.
3:59
Resting in the peaceful space between your thoughts.
4:06
If a thought arrives, that’s okay.
4:10
Notice it without judgment.
4:13
And then gently guide your awareness back to the simple sensation of your breath.
4:22
The feeling of air moving in...
4:26
and moving out.
4:28
Simply being.
4:29
Simply breathing.
4:31
As we bring this time to a close, there is no need to rush.
4:38
Begin to bring a gentle awareness back to your body.
4:45
Noticing the feeling of the surface beneath you.
4:50
The weight of the blankets.
4:53
Perhaps you wiggle your fingers and your toes.
4:59
A gentle, slow awakening.
5:02
The day is done.
5:04
You have done enough.
5:06
All that is left now is rest.
5:10
When you are ready, you can open your eyes, or simply allow yourself to drift off to sleep.
5:20
Carrying this stillness with you.
5:24
Rest well.
