This recording is specifically designed to guide you into a deep state of sleep,
using your body's natural relaxation processes and systems.
As such, do not listen to this recording while driving or operating machinery.
Only listen once you're in a safe place, comfortable, and ready to fall asleep.
Tonight, you will drift peacefully.
off to sleep as you gaze out over the open ocean as the tide slowly moves out carrying with it
any worries or concerns or any nagging thoughts and the serenity of this ocean-side ambience
will not only help you relax but will
guide you into the most deep and rejuvenating sleep. The waves will slow your breath, wash away
your worries, ease your mind and body, and leave you refreshed, rejuvenated and renewed by morning.
and you can begin by settling into a comfortable position,
taking the time to make any adjustments that will allow you to be as comfortable as you can
possibly be, even if it's just one percent better.
Go ahead and make that adjustment.
Because that might make all the difference in how you see.
sleep tonight, and you deserve the most restful and rejuvenating sleep.
So once you settle into that comfortable position, allow your body to soften and begin to
feel the weight of your eyelids, slowly growing heavier and heavier, gently fluttering,
until you can no longer resist the growing weight of your eyelids.
And you give in, allowing them to close completely all the way down.
And for this first moment, just enjoy the darkness behind your eyelids, the signal that
there's nothing more to do today.
There's no problems left to solve.
No answers to be found.
No burdens to be carried.
and no words to be said.
This time is just for you to relax.
And that's such a nice feeling, isn't it?
That sense of the burdens and the weight of the day.
Falling off your shoulders.
Take a nice, deep breath in.
And as you exhale, let go completely.
Allow your body to soften all the,
way down into the bed beneath you. Let's take a moment for a few deep breaths to help guide your
mind and body into a supremely relaxed and calm state. And I'll guide you all the way through.
You can just follow the sound of my voice, imagining that each breath is like a wave,
coming in and out from the shoreline, washing away and carrying with it all of your worries and concerns from the day.
So begin by letting all of your air out first and inhale.
Hold. Exhale. Hold. Inhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Hold.
Nice and slow.
Hold.
Last time through.
Inhale.
Hold and exhale.
Just let the air fall back out.
Nice and slow.
And then you can allow your breath to return
to your own natural rhythm and depth.
And as you breathe,
continue imagining that each breath,
is like the tide. You inhale as the wave rolls in and exhale even slower as it flows out.
And right now, the tide is moving out, meaning that the exhale is just that little bit longer
than the inhale, and this will help signal to your body. That it's time to rest and relax.
that you're safe.
And that all is well.
Let's expand that imagery of the wave
and use it to guide your body
into a deeper state.
And you can do that
by imagining a wave of relaxation,
washing over your feet,
and it moves in time with the breath,
inhaling any tension
in that area and exhaling that tension out of your body.
And slowly, steadily, you feel those waves of relaxation, moving up to your ankles,
leaving your feet totally heavy and still.
And the waves expand, flowing up your calves, flowing up your calves.
softening those muscles, moving higher to your knees, your thighs and your hips, each one,
carrying just that bit more tension out of your body, soothing, and softening all of the muscles,
easing any aches and pains and allowing you to relax even deeper down and those waves of relaxation
moving with the breath continue to spread into your belly your low back releasing all of those knots
and tension, spreading to your chest and your upper back, slowly, guiding your heartbeat,
into an even steadier and sleepier rhythm as the waves continue to flow,
into your shoulders, your arms, elbow, forearms, and hands.
wave, removing the tension from your body as it recedes with the exhale and then the tide of relaxation
spreads through your neck into your face, relaxing your jaw, softening the muscles of your cheeks,
your eyes and your forehead, relaxing them all the way down such that you may not have even
noticed how much tension you are still holding there. But now that you've released that
tension, you can notice how much more calm and at ease your entire body is.
from head to toe.
You are completely relaxed now.
And if you'd like,
you can imagine,
with the coming and going of your next breath,
another wave of relaxation,
this time,
passing through your entire being
and relieving that last little bit,
of tension that remains, allowing you to melt even deeper and deeper down into your bed.
Perfectly still, perfectly calm, perfectly at ease.
And now that your physical body has entered a deeper state of relaxation, let's take some time
to help your mind do the same thing.
And it might help with that.
If you picture yourself sitting on a soft stretch of golden sand right at the edge of the ocean,
maybe you're lying on the softest beach towel or resting in a cozy beach chair.
But either way, the sun is beginning to set.
and the grains of sand beneath your feet are cool to the touch, shaped into flowing ripples by the
soft breeze in front of you, the waves are rolling in with a soft hush, gently brushing the shoreline
before retreating back into the ocean, leaving behind a lace of white foam that glimmers and dissolves.
And as you watch, you notice that the tide is beginning to drift out, but the rhythm is unhurried.
The movement is steady, like the timeless breath.
of the sea, and as you look out toward the horizon, the sun is sinking lower and lower.
It's just beginning to disappear, and it's painting the sky in layers of gold and streaks of
purple, stretching all across the sky, lighting the few passing clouds, like highlights in the
sky, breath by breath, wave by wave, moment by moment, the sun slowly sinks deeper as the
colors grow deeper too, first turning into a soft rose and then a cool violet, followed by a dark
indigo and the last rays of sun shimmer on the waves as though the ocean itself is holding on
to the last light of the day but in due time the sun disappears and the sky begins to turn darker
as a gentle evening breeze moves through the air.
It carries the faint scent of salt, the freshness of the sea,
and the dreamy promise of night.
And as you watch this transformation, you notice how each wave carries something back out to sea with it.
a shell, a few grains of sand, a bit of seaweed.
In this same way, each breath is like a wave in your body,
taking a worry, a ruminating thought or a concern, and washing it away.
And it may be that there are many thoughts in your mind tonight,
But that's okay.
That's no reason to worry or be frustrated.
Because just like your breath,
the flow of the waves is timeless,
it's patient, and eventually.
Even if each breath only removes a single thought
or even just a single grain of a thought,
You, like the tide, will sink deeper and deeper towards a quiet and peaceful mind.
That's ready for sleep.
And there's no need to feel rushed because we all fall asleep on our own time.
And in our own way, you don't have anything to do now.
the ocean knows how to carry everything away with every cycle.
You can let go just that little bit more and enjoy that progressive feeling of the ocean,
washing away all of your thoughts and feelings and tensions until you're left.
in a pure state of relaxed existence.
And it's in this state that you deserve to be.
For the day is behind you now.
There's nothing left to do.
You're safe.
All as well.
And you can let go now.
And if you find that you're still conscious of my voice,
then that's just fine.
and it might help you fall asleep more quickly.
If you imagine there on the black canvas behind your eyelids,
this ocean scene with a night sky beginning to shimmer with the first stars,
tiny pinpoints of light scattered across the canvas that's growing ever darker.
And as these stars slowly begin to fill the night sky,
you might even begin to connect the dots, only to discover that the sky is sending you loving
and positive messages.
And as you drift deeper and deeper towards sleep.
I'll begin to read some of these messages to you as you imagine them there as shimmering stars in the darkness of the night sky.
