here's a quick word from our sponsors.

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

Only listen once you're in your own.
in a safe place, comfortable, and ready to fall asleep.
Hey, friend, if you're finding yourself awake in the middle of the night, it's okay.
You've come to the right place.
And no matter what's keeping you up, know that you aren't doing anything wrong and you
aren't stuck awake for the rest of the night.
your body knows how to sleep when it's put under the right conditions and we're going to create those
conditions for it right now so close your eyes if you haven't already don't worry about the time
how long you've been awake or how soon you need to get up the clock doesn't matter the most important
thing right now is letting go of any frustration or worry or other negative feelings about how you're
sleeping. Instead, I invite you simply to try enjoying this time for peace and quiet where you have
nothing to do and nothing to worry about. And you just get to relax.
detached from any outcome or expectation about sleep itself.
And to help you enjoy this time for peace and quiet,
let's take a few deep breaths together, inhaling,
expanding all the way down through your diaphragm,
hold for just a second at the top, and then exhale, release.
and let the exhale be longer and slower than the inhale.
Again, breathing in, release.
Just let the air fall back out.
There's no need to force anything here.
Once more, inhale.
Even deeper this time, hold and release, letting everything go.
and now you can allow your breath to return to its own natural pace and depth.

and energy in your body and each exhale releases it and expels it from your body.
In this way, a deep sense.

in and around your eyes laxing your forehead and your jaw feeling the back of your head sink even deeper
into the pillow, softening your shoulders, your arms and your hands, your chest, your back, and your
hips, and all the way down through your legs. Each breath, moving you just one percent closer
towards sleep, moment by moment, not rushing, not forcing, just allowing, letting you. Letting
And go and softening deeper and deeper into the bed.
And as you relax, deeper and deeper and deeper, if a thought pops up, just imagine it's a cloud.
Passing in the night sky, don't try to fight it or contain it.
Just let it drift away by coming back to the feeling.
of letting go and sinking deeper into the bed, as there's nothing for you to do right now.
No problems to solve. No one you need to show up for, and nothing that you need to achieve or
accomplish. Just enjoying this time for peace and quiet, giving yourself permission to relax completely.
And to help you relax more fully, I invite you to imagine that you're standing at the top of an old stone staircase.
And this is this staircase to sleep, 20 steps leading down into a space of complete darkness where you can finally let go.
each step, making your body feel twice as heavy and twice as relaxed as the one before.
And so you start from the top at 20, stepping down, feeling the cool stone beneath your feet,
grounding you and connecting you to the sensations in this moment.
as you take one more step down to 19 and you feel an increasing sense of heaviness in your legs
as though even just the thought of moving them feels like effort and so you simply let go and let gravity
pull you down to 18
as the air around you is slowly becoming softer, quieter, sinking deeper.
To step 17, as every muscle in your back releases completely, relaxing even deeper into the bed as you step to 16.

and all of your worries fading away as you step to 13 and you notice that
Every time you breathe out, you sink an inch deeper into your bed,
stepping to 12 as your arms and legs fall completely still and heavy.

The velvety darkness is embracing all around you as you come to two and you take one final breath of the waking world.
