Welcome to this guided sleep meditation, I'm Lauren.

Before we start, find a comfortable position in which to lie down or seat yourself, bring

an intention to this practice of meditation, where loose comfortable clothing, ensure

you are safe and secure. When you are ready, we will begin. Sit down or lie down comfortably

and we will begin. Let's start. Let's begin by noticing breath. As we notice, there is an

absence of judgment. It doesn't matter how you are breathing. The pattern of your breathing

does not matter. Simply notice, notice as the spectator, as the observer. Almost as if you

were somebody else looking down upon the pattern of breathing. Inhale and exhale. Anyway, which

suits you. You may wish to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, but it's up to you.

Feel, feel that sense of release, that relief of letting go. Let go. Let go. Let go engagement. Let go

any possible tension. Let go preconceptions. Expectations. Let go. Inhale, exhale. Let go.

Allow your mind to release, to let go of thoughts, of feelings, of beliefs.

Imagine that all that may have been weighing you down. Any emotional burdens are gone. You have

taken them off. You have released them. You have unburdened yourself. Sit in this space. This is a

space without judgment. At times, we may be able to relax more quickly, more systematically, than

other times during our practice. It doesn't matter. It does not matter.

The practice we have now is the practice we have now. As you begin to relax, imagine yourself

standing on a sandy beach. You can feel the warmth of the sun, sunshine upon your skin,

upon your face, upon your head. Your body is relaxed. You hear the sounds of the waves.

The sound of the ocean. You focus upon this sound. You listen. You hear the ocean.

The waves. Listen to the waves. The waves air and flow, crashing against the shore.

Different types of waves large and small.
