And now he's a short word from our sponsors.

Welcome to send me to sleep, the place to find relaxation and to good night's rest.

My name's Andrew.

Thanks for joining me.

Tonight I'll be helping you through a guided meditation,

designed to help your body and mind relax as you drift off to sleep.

Many of us lead busy lives, and even when we feel tired at the end of the day, it can still

be hard to turn off our minds. This meditation will help you shift from the more active doing

mode to the more passive non-doing mode, so you can ease into rest.

Our bodies contain a great deal of wisdom and inherently know how to wind down and sleep. But sometimes we could use a little help, creating the space and conditions we need

to fully inhabit an experience of rest.

Together, we will practice awareness of the breath

and a guided body scan to intentionally relax each part of ourselves.

Begin by finding a comfortable position and closing your eyes.

Relax the muscles in your face.
