This is Episode 2,516 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. Welcome back. We are at the final episode of our series this week.

We've been exploring a very popular highly requested theme of how to manage difficult emotions.

And in each day's episode, you discovered a meditation technique you could use right away to help you manage one of a top stressor.

And these are top stressors that I am most commonly requested to create a meditation series around.

So I hope you enjoyed this week's series. I heard from many of you letting me know how much this series has meant to you.

And I'm planning on creating an entire series off of each topic in the episodes this week.

Remember that you can always reach out to me, probably the best place if you are on social media.

The best place to reach me is on my SIP and OM Instagram. Send me a direct message there.

Also, you can send me an email to Mary at SIP and OM.com. Let me know what you'd like to hear this year.

Let me know how your meditation ritual is coming along. And I would be incredibly honored if you provided a rating and a review of the podcast.

Letting me know how meditation is working out for you and how I can best support you.

I show up every day because I know that the key to a successful meditation ritual, one you'll come to daily again and again, is in fact by daily support.

Essentially, I share my own meditation ritual with you. So everything I share, the techniques, the theme, the weekly challenge, I do write along with you.

And I want to thank you if you've been following along listening to every episode, which I know many of you have.

So thank you so much. You're the reason I show up.

Well, in today's episode, I'm going to be guiding you in a meditation exploring a top stressor of not sleeping well.

I know this is a worldwide top stressor currently from the latest research I read on sleep.

And if you're not sleeping well, you are not alone. And I want to guide you through a little mini sleep ritual that you can do that I've heard from many people helps them tremendously as they go to sleep.

In fact, I shared this with many airline crew employees who find themselves in different time zones, different hotels, eating different food and living very irregular work schedules.

The technique I'm going to share with you, which is not difficult. It shouldn't be difficult. It should be easy enough for you to remember how to do it after you're guided through doing it in today's episode.

This is a technique where you combine the use of a visualization with a breathing technique and you consciously relax different areas of your body.

So it's a few different layered techniques for the full guided meditation of this technique to help you sleep better.
