Welcome. My name is Lauren and this is my podcast, A Mindful Life. In these episodes, we chat,

we talk about life, wellness, sleep therapy and your mental health.

Some of the episodes are talks, chats, and others are my meditations on sleep therapy and

wellness.

This podcast is supported by my Patreon. You can find my Patreon by typing in Patreon,

P-A-T-R-E-O-N, into your web browser, and then typing my name, Lauren Ostrowski-Fenton. Thank you to all of you who support me on Patreon.

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

Sleep without anxiety. Welcome, my name is Lauren.

And today we're doing a guided sleep meditation.

They help you feel calm, peaceful and they help you fall into a deep, restful, sleep.

Before we start, find a dedicated, safe space in which to meditate.

Put on comfortable clothing and ensure that the area is warm and comfortable.

And when you're ready, when you're ready, we will begin. Sit down or lie down comfortably and we will begin.

Start by coming into the space physically and emotionally, making that transition into this

space of meditation. When we move from a position of stress or a position of running around through our day to a position of rest,

there is a transitional period.

Allow the transition.

Falling asleep is a process.

Letting go of worry, of concern, of thoughts is a process.

Allow the process.

Perhaps you could say to yourself,

I choose to meditate.
