Come, let me introduce you to the world of ancient Egypt.
Hello and welcome to Sleep Cove, the podcast and YouTube channel to get a great night's sleep.
Please make sure you're listening to this recording in a place where you can safely and comfortably go to sleep.
This episode is a sleep meditation to help you drift off and also receive positive thoughts and inputs to live a healthier and happy life.
I really hope you enjoy it.
I've also designed it so you will hopefully drift off to sleep within 20 minutes.
Let's begin.
Hello and welcome.
I'm so happy to have the opportunity to guide you.
Find a comfortable place to lay down
where you will not be disturbed by anyone or anything
for the duration of this recording.
You want to be relaxed, happy, accepting,
break habits and learn new things.
In order to do these things, you must become relaxed
and then focus on what it is that you really want and need.
And by listening to this and my voice,
you will safely go to sleep as well.
It is up to you to dedicate the time
and make the necessary efforts towards your goals.
So say to yourself,
I intend to relax,
be accepting of life as it comes,
break bad habits, and create new helpful ones, and be open to learning new things,
always being genuinely happy.
So get into that very comfortable position and make sure you will not be disturbed.
It's easy to relax, even though you might not get the chance to often.
So let's take five deep breaths together to oxygenate all of our body systems to start.
Inhale and exhale slowly.
Inhale, inhale and let it go.
Breathe in, breathing fully in and let the air escape.
that's good
let your eyes wander around
looking at all the things around you
without looking at anything
in particular
now without any effort
allow your mind
to choose in front of you
something to focus on
and do not look away
and begin to slow
Blink your eyes and with each number, with each number I say, blink once, continuing to stare at that spot in between the numbers to gently close and when you do this you feel a wave of relaxation sweep over you.
and now let your focus move down to your eyes.
Just notice how your eyes feel and ask them to relax even more.
The little movement in your eyes is called rapid and is completely normal.
These small eye movements allow for you to feel calm and notice how the back of your head
feels against the surface that it is touching.
How heavy does your head feel right now?
Let your focus move to your nose
and feel the slight sensations
on the air moving in and out with your breath
when you breathe in
imagine that you are being filled
with calmness and when you breathe out, imagine your body feels heavy and deeply relaxed.
Very good. Now focus on your ears and notice how they feel. What they hear around you.
Try to hear every single noise when sounds come into your ears. They act as little waves.
of relaxation. Taking you even deeper and notice the sound of my voice and how soothing
and peaceful it is. From here forward you can only hear my voice guiding you. All other sounds
passing only take you into a deeper state. Now focus on your mouth. How does it? How does it?
it feel. And what do you notice? Can you sense the flavour of something you recently tasted?
Perhaps you can imagine, biting into a fresh slice of an apple. And you notice how your mouth
waters. Very good. Move your focus down to your neck. And if there is any tension,
just ask it to release a little more. Notice, notice. Notice,
how your neck feels right now and just feel all the sensations in your neck.
Now focus on your shoulders and move your attention, slowly going down each arm, down
all the way to each fingertip. What are your fingertips touching right now?
Feel the sensations on your fingertips. Now you're focused go to your chest.
Relaxing this area
As well as your upper back
And if you notice any tension
Just ask it nicely to release just a little
Now imagine you are focusing
On your heart
Feeling it beating strongly
Supporting you
Relax your heart and notice how good it feels to do so
and now focus on your lungs
and feel them gently expanding
attracting with your breath
delivering oxygen
to your body
your focus
to move down your vital organs
and digestive system
just notice your belly
and how it feels
just observe it
working and digesting effortlessly for you.
Now notice your lower back and how it is pressing against the surface you are on.
And if you feel any tension, just say, please relax just a little more.
Focus now on your pelvis and hips and notice.
and notice any sensations you are having there.
This takes you deeper into a state of relaxation.
Your focus to move down each leg now.
Slowly relaxing those as well.
Your legs have been taking you so many places over the years
and they deserve to fully relax.
Notice this one way.
this wonderful wave of relaxation, moving down to your knees and down your lower legs,
all the way to your feet and the very tip of each toe. That's good, you're doing so well.
Okay now, we're going to take our focus, back up the body the same way we came.
But this time, imagine that through your toes,
you are slowly pulling in your favourite colour.
Okay, imagine your favourite colour
is coming into your toes and your feet.
It goes up your legs,
passing through your knees
and up into your pelvis and hips.
This beautiful colour is filling up your digestive system
and belly.
It fills your vital organs and continues into your lungs.
This colour is healing you as it fills you.
It fills your heart and you notice how happy you are.
How happy you are by doing this.
The colour goes across your shoulders and down each arm all the way to your fingertips.
Your favourite colour is moving up your neck now, relaxing as it goes.
It fills up your mouth, ears, nose, eyes and then quickly fills all the tiny areas of your brain, relaxing it too.
It moves all the way to the very top of your head, where we've become.
Good, that's good. Notice how completely relax your entire body feels right now.
I'm going to tell you something very important and you will deeply hear the words that I have to say to you
and they will affect your life for the better.
You are completely aware at every level of your mind and even though your body,
may be asleep, these things I am going to tell you will build your ability to relax.

You are fully capable of relaxing at any time you need to.
allowing for life to come as it does, accepting the moments that are challenging,
as well as those that are pushing you quickly towards your goals.
When you feel a moment of tension come, the way you instantly relax is to take a big, deep breath
and focus only on that breath.
Allow nothing else to matter.

And, if you do this correctly,
you will instantly feel more relaxed.
If you need, you can take a few more deep breaths.
Relaxing even further.
This is the main key in changing your life for the better.
Remembering to breathe is the key.
That's good.
In life, if you desire,
to be fully happy, there's no other option than to accept things as they are.
The changes you can make only happen through yourself.
Acceptance being the primary goal.
Imagine that you are in some kind of an argument.
And if you do not accept the situation as it is,
You will be angry and that clouds your ability to be happy.
When you get upset, it is difficult for you to think clearly
and to accept the situation as it is.
Good. Did you see how being accepting of all situations allows for you to be happy?
It's very beneficial.

you are able to learn how to live a happier and more relaxed life.
You know that in order to be fully happy,
you must find any possible way to eliminate bad habits
that keep you from being happy.
It's easy to notice your bad habits now.
And when you do, take a big, deep breath,
relaxing yourself and accept that you are being presented with a moment for you and for change.
Each time that you are triggered towards a bad habit, it is an opportunity, an opportunity for you to learn to accept the situation as it is.

and it allows you to make the necessary behaviour change
to move your life towards the better.
You will do this effortlessly

And lastly, the final step to achieving all these wonderful things
is from now on you think, walk, act and feel genuinely, deeply relaxed.
