and fall asleep more easily night after night I'm Christopher and you're listening to Sleep Cove please listen to this recording in a place where you can comfortably sleep. Begin. So what you're going to be listening to is hypnosis, a natural state of focused awareness,

where the conscious mind takes a step back and the subconscious begins to open, listen, and gently reorganize. Hypnosis is not about control nor effort. you can just experience it and you'll find that you'll shift naturally into sleep so let's talk about something special the vagus nerve

you may not have heard of it before but your vagus nerve is a kind of secret pathway a golden threat of car that connects your brain to your body from your heart to your lungs, your stomach and into your digestive system is the core of your paris sympathetic nervous system. What science calls the rest and digestate.

And it's the exact opposite of stress, worry or tension. So we're going to try and activate your vagus nerve. by breathing slowly, relaxing. So let's take a deep breath in, Sal. Take another deep breath in, making sure that you're breathing through the belly area and then take an exhale there. If you'd like,

you can always put one hand on your upper chest and one hand on your stomach. You want to make sure that your stomach area is moving gently up and down, your upper chest. Because upper chest breathing causes stress and anxiety. Well, deep belly breathing tells your body to relax and let go. So let's take another deep breath, really focusing. Focusing on your body moving up and down.

So breathe in, the exhale, is longer than the inner. So please get as comfortable as you can. Move your body into the most comfortable position you want it to be. Maybe uncross your arms and legs. And if you haven't already, let your eyelids gently close. As you take a long, slow inhale through your nose and exhale out. That slow wave of release. That's your vagus nerve. beginning to choose as you settle into the rhythm of your breath as you begin to sink drifting deeper

with every relaxing exhale and you notice your body taking shape with the surface below you you are beginning to relax more feeling relaxation and calm starting in your forehead relaxing the space around your eyes, letting the tiny muscles of the face, detents, little by little, the muscles in your face relax.

Your jaw feels loose, your throat opens and you breathe in deeply, relaxation feeling, moves into your shoulders, letting them drop, sinking deeper and the feeling moves down your arm. relaxing every muscle deeper and deeper into your upper back. Your lower back, releasing any tension and it flows to your front. Relaxing every muscle that touches, your chest and your belly. Relaxing every little muscle in your stomach area, letting you do more deep. breath and this amazing relaxing feeling moves into your pelvis into your hips your upper legs and the eyes your knees your calves your ankles your toes they're all touched by deep relaxation and it feels so good and the feeling sprangles

from your toes all the way up to the top of your head. Doubling relaxation throughout your body. Doubling calm. Healing and relaxing. Every muscle. Every tendon. Every bone. Every cell within you.

So good. You feel so amazing. Your body. Your body knows how to relax is relaxed before you enjoy this relaxing feeling. You begin to imagine a place, not just any place, safe, lives deep within you. It may be a place you visited before or a place in tiny in you. A place a sanctuary that you can go to in your mind and you can return for moments like this when you need to.

Maybe you're in a place of nature, maybe in a warm bed, beneath the soft sky of midnight blue, in a beautiful meadow, or floating on a steel lake at twilight, or even a favourite beach or holiday destination. Is your place? Time or backward in time.

Place is for you. But the outside world doesn't need to be acknowledged right now. The only thing that matters is that this is your moment. This is amazing, you take it in. You breathe deeply. Breathing the air, you are safe. You feel amazing and your body believes this. Vagus nerve responds.

Restoring, relaxing new pathways. Because this is your body. place. You really can return whenever you feel like being safe, whenever you feel like being relaxed, whenever you feel about being you and looking after you, you can take in what you're taking in now. Here there are no problems to solve, no expectations to meet. And you realize that worrying over these problems was unnecessary, you'll just acknowledge them and work towards solving them in the future. More into the ground, like a cozy comfort, like gravity being a gentle friend, cradled

and support, and your body sinks into deeper relaxation. Your mind sinks into deeper relaxation. In this stillness, in this quiet place of peace, you may notice how your body responds to the sound of my voice, to stillness, to softness, and the ball you don't force anything, relaxing feeling within your body. Doubles now, your vagus nerve responding, conductor of calm, relaxation, feeling. feeling within you now. Feels like a golden light down through your shoulders, all through your body again. From your head to your toes, this relaxing golden light hits all parts of your body. You relax, then you thought possible. Your breathing is deeper. Your belly moves up and down. Parts of your body are working in perfect rhythm. From your brain,

in your mind, to your heart, to your stomach, to your lungs, through, to drift and relax, to doubly relax, so deeply calm, deeply at ease, into this restful space, begin to notice something interesting. There's a rhythm, a subtle hum beneath your awareness, as if something within you has been waiting for this moment, the moment of your vagus nerve, the ancient, wise messenger of calm, that helped your ancestors and is helping you as you breathe and drift. Because from this moment on, sleep does not need to be forced. It arrives naturally.

The way dusk turns to night, without effort, when we were young, we could sleep easily as our body took over, and we forget about a little in adulthood.
