Guided meditation for sorting out your life and falling deeply asleep.

Welcome, I'm Lauren.

Welcome to this evening meditation designed to help you sort out your life and gently guide you into a restful sleep.

This meditation will start with a quiet talk which will evolve into a guided meditation and body scan.

Make yourself comfortable, seated or lying down and when you are ready we'll start sit down or lie down comfortably and we will begin.

Before we begin, let's take a moment to reflect on a powerful framework that can enhance our well-being, the Perma Theory, proposed by psychologist Martin Seligman.

Seligman, also known as the father of positive psychology, identified five core elements,

essential for a flourishing life.

Positive emotion, this emphasizes the importance of experiencing joy and gratitude. Thankfulness. It's about

cultivating positive feelings that enhance our overall well-being.

Engagement, flow. This refers to being fully immersed in activities that challenge and stimulate us leading to a state of flow where we lose track of time and feel deeply satisfied.

Relationships.

Strong connections, strong supportive connections with others.

This element highlights the need for positive social interactions that provide emotional support and fulfillment. Meaning and purpose. This aspect focuses on having a sense of direction in life,

aligning our actions with our values and contributing to something

greater than ourselves.

Accomplishment. Recognising and celebrating our achievements no matter how small.

This fosters a sense of mastery and self-efficacy.

Now that we've introduced these concepts from the perma theoretical framework ensure

that you are comfortable whether you are lying down in bed or seated in a

peaceful space your eyes are closed softly.

Let's embark on this journey together.
