Good evening and welcome.

I'm so grateful you're here with me for this sleep meditation.

An overactive mind is 90% of why I have trouble falling asleep and why I've heard so many of you have had trouble falling asleep. Thinking about all the things that you need to do, thinking about any upcoming events or

things that might be going on in your life. So this meditation is here for you when your mind is just moving, moving, moving.

So you can help calm it, clear it, come into your body and ease into deep sleep.

Thank you. body and ease into deep sleep. I know you've been carrying the weight of the day in your mind. Thoughts moving like restless winds through the corridors of your consciousness.

But now it's time to soften those winds and let the edges of your mind dissolve into stillness.

So you can allow the night to wrap its tender arms around you.

Feel yourself being hell in this moment. As if the world itself has paused waiting for you to breathe.

Take a slow, gentle breath in.

And with your exhale, imagine the thoughts you've been holding, loosening their grip. You feel your body begin to relax in this space. Into this moment where there's no need to rush.

No need to solve anything.

You are here.

Held by the quiet of the night.

Take another breath in.

But this time, feel it as more than just air.

Feel it as a wave.

A gentle tide that moves into every corner of you.

Soothing, softening, quieting the noise and sigh.
