Have you ever lain awake at night desperate to sleep, but find yourself tossing and turning and kept awake by unwanted thoughts?
Maybe you find that certain events of the day try to re-enact themselves in your mind. Perhaps you are tormented by thoughts of something that was said, unsaid, or seen.
At such times, Guided Meditation can be a big help. It is not an arduous difficult procedure, on the contrary, Guided Meditation is one of the most pleasant relaxing experiences, and can help you drift off into a beautiful deep restful sleep.
The first thing to do is to make yourself comfortable. Check that you are not too hot or too cold, adjust the temperature and/or your clothing if need be, then have a little wriggle around and make sure that the whole of your body is at ease.
Now start to breathe slowly and deeply…as you breathe in, say to yourself… ‘I breathe in peace’ …and on the out breath say…’I release all tension’…
As you continue to breathe gently in and out, imagine a soft radiant light entering into your body…feel the soft warmth as the light flows through your being…you are safe, you are loved, you are relaxed…relax…allow yourself to drift into a deep beautiful, relaxing sleep…relax…
It may help you to record the words and play them back to yourself. You may also find that playing gentle soothing music at the same time could enhance the total experience and effect for you.
