You're listening to the tracks to relax, sleep meditation podcast. This episode is brought to you by...

This relaxing nap meditation features about 20 minutes of relaxing sleep time, after which you'll be awakened.

And feeling refreshed, alert, and energized. Never listen to this recording while driving or doing anything that requires your attention.

Make sure you're nice and comfortable, either laying down or sitting in a chair that has arms to support you when you relax.

So when you're ready to relax deeply, simply allow your eyes to close now.

As you begin to slow down your breathing by taking deeper and longer breaths in and out at your own time and pace.

And noticing how your chest rises and expands each time you inhale.

And lowers and contracts as you exhale, sinking down each time and feeling more and more relaxed with each and every breath you take.

That's right. Breathing in slowly and deeply, exhaling and relaxing more and more.

Continue for a moment to listen, breathe, and relax as your heart rate begins to slow down.

And the muscles in your body begin to let go of tension, so that you feel more relaxed with each and every breath you take.

In and out.

And as you continue to relax deeply, I'm wondering if you can begin to use your imagination.

To visualize, pretend or simply become profoundly aware of all the things I'm about to describe for you.

Because right now, I'd like you to begin to imagine that you are sitting in the most comfortable reclining chair that you have ever sat in.

This chair is located in the center of a very special room.

The floor of this room is normal, but the shape of the walls and ceiling of this room are curved into a circle.

The walls and ceiling form a seamless dome that is white in color.

At the moment, the room seems to be illuminated by the surface of the walls as if they are glowing white light.

In a moment, something very magical will begin to happen.

But before it does, the walls begin to dim to about 20% of their brightness.

And you continue to breathe in and out deeply and slowly, sinking down into the surface of that comfortable recliner.
