Now here's a quick word from our sponsors before tonight's episode begins.

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. Freedom begins the moment you choose to stop reliving the past

and start embracing your future. And tonight's sleep meditation will help you reach that feeling of freedom by helping you to finally release the weight of your past. Tonight, as you drift peacefully off to sleep, the simple act of forgiveness and letting go will allow your mind to fall quiet, your body to relax,

and your life to change for the better. So if you'd like to wake up tomorrow, fully refreshed and rejuvenated, and freed from the burdens and weights of your past, then find a comfortable position in bed, making sure all of the lights are off, that you've set any sleep timers or morning alarms. And once you've found that comfortable position,

just find a place up there on the ceiling or the wall in front of you, anything that draws the eyes, and just rest your gaze there, allowing your eyelids to fall closed as I count from five to one, starting with five, feeling the weight of your eyelids beginning to grow. Relaxation, settling in throughout your face and your whole body. Three, your eyes beginning to flutter now as the weight of your eyelids is slowly taking over. Two, able to see even the slightest glimmer of light through your eyes as you can no longer resist

the growing weight of your eyelids, allowing your eyes to close down all the way now. and as they do, allowing those muscles in and around your eyes to soften all the way down. Feeling that softness. Spreading across your forehead. Relaxing all of the muscles in your face. Relaxing your shoulders and your arms. Your chest, your ribs, and your back, your hips, your thighs. just allowing your body to sink deeper and deeper into the bed,

giving all of your weight over, letting go of the day just passed, because you have nothing left to do now. No obligations, no problems to solve, or answers to find. There's nothing you need to hold on to. So let's take a few deep breaths to help you let's let go. of the day and soften deeper into relaxation and with each breath envision collecting the tension

the thoughts the ideas the worries and the to-does and on your exhale releasing them from your body and your mind so just follow along as i guide you inhaling and exhale Inhale again. Collecting that tension, those thoughts, and exhale. Releasing them out into the night. Nice and slow. Nice and deep. Hold and exhale.

Allowing that breath out to be effortless. Just let the air fall out. And let's do two more. Inhale and exhale. releasing that tension, releasing those thoughts, your body becoming heavier and softer. Last time, inhale and exhale, release. And you can just let your breath return to its own natural pace and depth, allowing yourself to soften deeper and deeper and deeper. as you begin to imagine yourself in a peaceful open landscape just beyond the edges of the waking world.

Twilight place where the air is warm and gentle, where the stars glow softly, where everything feels quiet and in front of you, resting on a smooth stone table is a box and next to it is some wrapping paper a bow and a card and they can look and be in any way that you'd like them to be whatever colors, textures or designs that you'd like because this box is here to be.

is here tonight to hold something very important, something you've been carrying for too long now, a memory, an experience, an emotion, or feeling, a difficult moment, a version of yourself, that you've outgrown, or hurt, an expectation that didn't unfold as you had hoped. and whatever it is for you that you're ready to let go of tonight. You don't have to name it out loud. It might not even be something that's capable of being explained in words.

But whatever it is for you, just feel its presence, this cloud, this weight, this burden that's holding you down. in the progress of your life, in the pursuit of happiness, freedom, and the enjoyment of your own journey. Your mind's eye, gently place all of that into the box, place the memory inside, place the emotions and the feelings, place the racing thoughts, the tension, the replayed conversation,

the heaviness, put it all in the box. Recognize that there's no judgment here about what's going in the box because we're all only able to do our best in life with what we've got. And you're lucky enough to have grown so much now to realize that whatever this is from the past is no longer serving you. So approach this moment of release and view your past self with compassion, with kindness, with understanding. This isn't about abandoning your past. It's about honoring you and the rest of your life by releasing it.

And once it's all in the box, close the lid. and seal it tight. Wrap it up elegantly with the wrapping paper because that's the kind of person you are now. A person of grace. A person who always takes the high road. And once it's wrapped, stick that bow on top.

Then you grab that card. And you write the following words on it. Thank you for everything you've taught me. I forgive you. entirely. I'm releasing you with love and appreciation. I am ready to move on. So I'm leaving you in the past where you belong. Goodbye and you sign your name. And as you write these words onto the card, something shifts inside of you. All of that pain, all of that tension and hurt. is transformed into wisdom.

And as you place that card underneath the bow on the gift box, a warm, golden beam of light appears above you. It's soft, comforting, and timeless, and it shines down onto the gift box in a perfect circular beam. And as the light encompasses the box, box begins to rise into the sky. Lifted by the beam of light and up, you watch it float away,

higher and higher into the night sky as you feel yourself relaxing deeper and deeper as the burden of that forgiveness is now relieved. And the box grows small. smaller and smaller until it's just a tiny little speck. And then finally, it disappears completely into the light. It's gone now, released back to the past where it belongs.

And as such, your present state and your future life are now transformed. Notice the feeling of space and lightness in your body. And in your mind, now that you're free from the burden of this thing you've been wanting to let go of for so long, you're free now. And you deserve that feeling. So take a moment now just to enjoy that sense of newness. of lightness, of ease, and maybe even a bit of excitement for the journey that lies ahead in which you'll be free from this weight that's held you down for so long. Allow your face to soften.

Allow your body to melt deeper into the bed as all of the weight and tension you've been carrying, drain from your body. And as you continue your journey towards a peaceful night of sleep, may the following gentle words of encouragement aid you in this act of forgiveness, release and letting go such that you wake up in the morning, feeling, completely renewed and refreshed, with the boundless opportunities of a free and prosperous life ahead of you.
