Welcome to Drift Off, I'm your host Joanne, and tonight you're listening to a guided

sleep hypnosis and relaxation that I've created and recorded to help you sleep better.

This bonus content is available to all Drift Off Premium members.

For as little as a cup of coffee a month, you'll enjoy relaxing intro and ad-free listening

to monthly bonus bedtime stories and a monthly guided sleep hypnosis and relaxation to use

at that time. Go sign up at driftoff.supercast.com or see the link in the show notes that's driftoff.supercast.com.

Tonight I will guide you to a quiet secluded beach where you will be able to tap into the power

of your imagination. As you focus on the imagery, this will help slow down those brain waves thereby

promoting a state of deep relaxation, helping you drift off gently and peacefully to sleep.

We'll begin with a short body relaxation followed by a guided beach visualization.

And once you're in a deep, restful state, you'll be able to indulge in this peaceful feeling

of being lulled to sleep by the gentle lapping of the waves and soft music perfect for drifting off.

So take a moment to settle in.

Making sure that you feel comfortable in your sleep space.

Be sure to turn off all distractions so that you won't be disturbed as you begin to relax.

If you haven't already, you may close your eyes if you wish.

The time has come now to release the day and to leave it all behind so you can give

your body and mind a chance to rest.

Allow those muscles to soften, to let go.

Let your back melt down into the surface that you're resting on.

And if you want, you can gently squeeze as many muscles in your body as you can.

Squeeze and hold.
