Today's Untangle Meditation was chosen to help you fall asleep now the vacation might be over.

It's called Magic Carpet by Chodo Campbell.

It can also be found on the Meditation Studio or Muse apps.

We hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to this guided visualization to help you sleep.

When we are in our homes, we have a number of tools to help us sleep.

Soft music, sound machines with everything from birdsong to ocean waves.

We have scented candles and our own comfortable bed.

But what about the times when we are away from home, say in a hotel somewhere or visiting

friends?

It can be difficult to fall asleep in a strange bed in unfamiliar surroundings without our

usual props. Here is a meditation I use when I'm traveling. I call it my magic carpet meditation.

Don't wait till your next vacation to try this meditation. Take the flight any time you need a good night's sleep.

Let's begin.

Start by lying on your back with your arms at your side, palms facing upwards.

Close your eyes and notice your breath. With each in-breath feel the weight of your body as it

sinks into the mattress. Become aware of the feel of the sheets against your body

and the weight of the bed covers.

Notice how heavy your head is as it rests on the pillow.

Become aware of any tension in the jaw and allow the jawbone to relax.

Bring your attention to any sensations you may be feeling.

Notice any aches or tingling as you check in with your body.
