Hello, my friend, Stephen Dalton here. Have you ever thought about what it would be like to go to sleep, laughing, or at least smiling? Well, I'm here to tell you about my new channel. It's called Humorously Dull History for Sleep. In each episode, I bring you through the history of a particular topic, like the history of houses or the spoon or dogs. And I tell you the history in, I hope, a humorous way. Find humorously dull history for sleep wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, my friend, and welcome to sleep escape, where tonight we'll embark on a journey

of release, surrender, and letting go. Not through force or effort, but through the soft and gentle, natural beauty of a flower shedding its petals. And this session will continue throughout the night so that when you awake, you'll feel lighter, more clear of mind, and free for,

from the weights and burdens that are holding you down, but you don't need to listen all the way through. In fact, I encourage you to let go and drift off. Whenever you feel that gentle tug of sleep, this session will still help you, even if you're fast asleep, because the subconscious mind is always listening. And that is where the letting go occurs in order to feel this new sense of freedom and lightness about yourself. So settle into a comfortable position, whatever feels best for you and your body, taking the time to make any adjustments to get yourself even just 1% more comfortable because you deserve to be that comfortable.

And once you've found that position, just allow your eyes to softly close as I count down from five to four. Feeling that weight of your eyelids, growing heavier as we come to three and your eyes may begin to flutter as we reach two, barely able to resist the desire to let your eyes close but holding on for just one more second as we finally reach one allowing your eyes to close all the way down as a sense of softness spreads across your face relaxing the muscles of your forehead, your cheeks, and your jaw as it continues to spread like a wave of relaxation. Down your whole body, easing all tension, relaxing every muscle and joint. Feeling your body soften and surrender completely. deeper and deeper down into the bed and just taking a moment to appreciate this time for peace and quiet

where there's nothing to do no way you're supposed to act or be there's nothing you need to hold on to anymore you are exactly where you're meant to be enjoying the comfort and relaxation that you so deeply deserve. So now, take a long, slow breath in. And as you exhale, imagine your body letting go and melting just a bit more, deeper down, into the bed. Letting those muscles of your face. Once again, relax completely, feeling your jaw unlatch and your tongue rest down in your mouth, continuing to breathe at your own natural pace, but just allowing that breath to move

ever so deeply and ever so slowly, ever so effortlessly. each inhale, collecting any lingering tension in your body, and each exhale, expeling that tension, allowing you to soften and relax down just that bit more. And in this way, that repeating cycle of your breath will slowly and inevitably guide you. deeper into relaxation, closer to sleep. And I don't know exactly how or when you'll fall asleep tonight, but I do know that we all fall asleep in our own way and on our own time. And additionally, that we are designed to rest. Sleep is a natural part of being human. And as such, your body knows how to rest, and it will fall asleep in exactly the right way and at exactly the right time for you here tonight.

So with each passing breath, just allow yourself to relax that bit deeper, letting go of any tension moment by moment. whether it's physical tension, emotional tension, or cognitive tension. And as you let go more and more in this way, just notice if there's any lingering bits of tension, thoughts, worries, you tell yourself. And if you find any such tensions, don't try to fight it. Just acknowledge that it's there. There's no need to rid yourself of this tension. Indeed, it's there for a purpose. And all we're going to do here tonight

is transform the energy in that tension away from a negative and limiting sense of energy into one that's productive, positive, and freeing. And so, no matter what those tensions may be for you here tonight, if you'd like to let go of them, to transform them into something more positive, you can begin to envision the image of yourself, standing in. in a magnificent moonlit garden.

The air is soft on your skin. It's cool and it smells of damp earth and blooming flowers. Underneath your feet is a soft layer of moss. It feels like velvet and just off in the distance. You see a small crystal clear stream. And so you walk towards it, noticing the bubbling and bobbing sounds of the water as it flows over smooth silver stones. And you discover on the bank of the stream a single beautiful flower. It's the most perfect flower you've ever seen.

Its petals are large, vibrant. and soft to the touch. And in a certain way, you begin to see yourself and the flower, such that it represents your day or your life up to this moment. You've grown and bloomed, with each petal holding a memory,

a story, a relationship. And as you reach out, and gently touch the first pedal. An image comes to your mind, and it's the image of something that you know you no longer need to carry right now. Perhaps it's a conversation that didn't go well, a worry about tomorrow,

a habit, a phase, or a relationship that you're struggling to move on from. But whatever it is for you, See the story contained in that flower petal and recognize how that story has served you in certain ways. Yet simultaneously, it's holding you back now. From the rest, the freedom or the journey of life that you're headed to. So whisper to that story. in that flower pedal, thank you for everything you've taught me.

But now it's time to say goodbye. And so you pluck that pedal from the flower, and you place it onto the surface of the stream below, letting go of it, releasing that story, surrendering it to the flow of the water. and it drifts off into the distance, effortlessly, continuously drifting farther and farther, until it disappears. And as you watch that pedal and its associated story, disappear into the distance, you feel a corresponding weight lifted from your body. that allows both your mental, spiritual, and physical being to relax even deeper and deeper down.

And that feeling of greater peace and relaxation, it feels so good and relieving that you decide to pick another pedal. This one, holding a regret, something you wish. wish you'd done differently. Once again, seeing the story of that regret contained in this pedal, noticing the ways in which it's shaped your life for the better. And yet, how it still manages to hold you back and limit you, knowing how good it will feel to finally let go of this regret. You say to it,

thank you for everything you taught me, but I'm ready to let go of you now. So goodbye, and then you drop it into the stream, watching it wash away, drifting farther and farther, until it disappears, feeling that corresponding weight.

Release. from your mind and body, allowing you to soften even deeper down into ease, comfort, and relaxation. Continuing this same process now, one pedal at a time. First, picking a pedal for a person you've been trying to please. and then just letting it go, releasing it into the stream, and surrendering deeper into this moment and the joy and comfort. And knowing that you are worthy exactly as you are, that there's nothing you need to do. And no one that you have to please. plucking a pedal for something your family or society or anyone else tells you you should have or could have

or need to do seeing that story contained in the flower pedal as you let it go and float down the stream farther and farther into the distance, allowing you to surrender. Release and let go. And with every pedal you pluck and release in this way, a flower becomes lighter, more free. And so do you as you're shedding the layers of the day, stripping away the noise, the expectations, of the outside world, resting deeper and deeper to the quiet stillness of this very moment.

And as you let go more and more and relax, ever deeper in this way, know that this stream is endless, and however much you're ready to let go of, this stream can take as much as much. as you have to give it, creating your own trail of colorful petals, drifting off under the moonlight, beginning to see your burdens as beautiful ornaments floating on the water, leaving you with the space, the freedom and the positive uplifted energy to reshape your life, the path you're on and the stories you tell yourself, relaxing deeper and deeper as you release the day just passed and all that it held, feeling lighter and more free with each breath as you let go of everything you're holding onto, releasing it all into the stream.

surrendering completely into the peace and quiet of this moment, resting easy, and the knowledge that you are enough exactly as you are, forgiving yourself, for anything that you feel is left, undone, thanking your worries. for the purpose they served, and then simply letting them go and wash away. Going yourself to relax deeper and deeper towards sleep as you release your ties from the past and let go of your expectations for the future. opening yourself to the healing in this moment and this night of rest, drifting on a current of peace, enjoying this time for stillness and silence,

shedding the old to make room for the new, trusting in the flow of your life, knowing that peace is your natural state of existence. Following the stream to carry everything that doesn't serve you farther and farther away as you surrender to the current of the night, drifting deeper and deeper that you are safe and that you are the love that you are free to live this life in whatever way makes you happiest, surrendering more and more with each passing breath into the deepest and most restful sleep. Now if you're still conscious of my voice, that's perfectly fine.

There's no need to become worried or frustrated. about when or how you may fall asleep. Just follow the sound of my voice and rest your attention on the gentle in and out of your breath. Take a long, slow breath in. And as you exhale, imagine your body letting go and melting. Just a bit more, deeper down into the bed, letting those muscles of your face. Once again, relax completely. Feeling your jaw unlatch and your tongue rests down in your mouth,

continuing to breathe at your own natural pace, but just allowing that breath to be. to move ever so deeply and ever so slowly, ever so effortlessly. Each inhale, collecting any lingering tension in your body, and each exhale, expeling that tension, allowing you to soften and relax down just that bit more. And in this way, that repeating cycle of your breath will slowly and inevitably guide you deeper into relaxation and closer to sleep. I don't know exactly how or when you'll fall asleep tonight. But I do know that we all fall asleep in our own way and on our own time. And additionally, that we are designed to rest.
