Thank you to all of you who support me on Patreon.

Now, sit down or lie down comfortably and we will begin. Immaculate, deep sleep.

Welcome, my name is Lauren, and this is your time, your time to fall asleep.

Fall asleep deeply, restaratively, and your time to heal.

Prepare a space, a dedicated space in which to meditate.

This can be anywhere you choose which is safe or it can just be your bed.

I suggest because this meditation is sleep. I suggest you choose your bed.

Make yourself comfortable.

Dress in comfortable pyjamas or clothing. Turn the lights off, turn off all the electronics that you can, aside from the one you're using

to listen to this meditation.

And when you're ready, we will begin.

Sit down or lie down comfortably and we will begin. Start by doing nothing, allowing the moment to present itself as it presents itself without you expecting anything from that moment.

Without you expecting anything from yourself.

Allow the moment to unfold as it unfolds organically.

Sit in this moment, this period, this time of nothingness.

Nothingness bears no pain. Nothingness has no high point, no bliss, no giddy heights, nothingness has no deep lows.

Nothingness is even.

Feel an awareness of this moment. Allow the emptiness of this moment.

Allow the emptiness of this moment to flow over your physical self.
