Welcome to the peaceful deep sleep meditation.
Steven Webb:
00:00:04
I'm going to give you a few moments just to wiggle your body and get relaxed into the perfect comfortable
Steven Webb:
00:00:12
position to allow your body to fall asleep so it feels completely effortless.
Steven Webb:
00:00:19
Just wiggle the body and shake out your arms and legs.
Steven Webb:
00:00:34
To fall asleep, your body needs to feel safe and secure. needs to feel comfortable not to have
Steven Webb:
00:00:42
anything apart from The feeling of slowly drifting off to sleep to think about.
Steven Webb:
00:00:48
Just before we begin, let's just take a couple of minutes to greatly increase the chances of your best night's
Steven Webb:
00:00:56
sleep ever.
Steven Webb:
00:01:01
Just so you know that if you do wake up, you can just put this meditation back on and you
Steven Webb:
00:01:07
will fall back to sleep quickly. And waking up is quite normal. Just checking the surroundings, making sure you're safe,
Steven Webb:
00:01:14
and then just drifting off again. That something we all do is something that's quite normal. Just allow
Steven Webb:
00:01:22
it to happen and enjoy the process.
Steven Webb:
00:01:29
And the main reason why we find it so difficult to fall asleep is an overactive mind thinking too much.
Steven Webb:
00:01:37
And along with that overactive mind, thinking something that is not quite right. Therefore, we do not feel
Steven Webb:
00:01:45
safe and secure enough to fall asleep. In
Steven Webb:
00:01:50
the modern world, this could be having something like something that we haven't done a few weeks ago. Something
Steven Webb:
00:01:58
really not that important.
Steven Webb:
00:02:05
But if there is something on your mind, just grab a piece of paper and a notepad. Just jot it
Steven Webb:
00:02:11
down and your mind will think instantly. Well, I've sorted it. So therefore it's done. And therefore it will leave
Steven Webb:
00:02:18
your mind. A nice little tip there if you find it difficult to fall asleep.
Steven Webb:
00:02:46
So at this point the mind can feel safe and secure knowing it can fall asleep for the night without
Steven Webb:
00:02:53
nothing to worry about.
Steven Webb:
00:02:58
Now we are all comfortable and we are perfectly ready for a wonderful night's sleep let's do some preparation with
Steven Webb:
00:03:04
our muscles
Steven Webb:
00:03:11
then We do this by tensing our muscles then relaxing them. By doing this it prepares the muscles perfectly for
Steven Webb:
00:03:17
the ultimate relaxation and falling asleep. So if you tense up your legs now and your feet and your
Steven Webb:
00:03:25
toes Really tense them up. And then just let them go. And just let them go into the deepest relaxation
Steven Webb:
00:03:33
possible. And
Steven Webb:
00:03:36
they'll naturally fall into the perfect position for sleep.
Steven Webb:
00:03:52
And now tense up your arms and your hands and your fingers. All of them. Really, really tense them up
Steven Webb:
00:03:58
and hold them. And just let them all go. Ah, you can even give yourself a little sigh.
Steven Webb:
00:04:13
And now do the same with your belly and your back and your neck and your torso. All that area.
Steven Webb:
00:04:18
Just really hold it. Really hold it tight. And then just let it go. Imagining that it's heavier than ever
Steven Webb:
00:04:26
and it's relaxed and it's falling deeper into the bed. Slowly, naturally falling into that perfect position for sleep.
Steven Webb:
00:04:50
Now finally tense every single muscle in your body. Every single one from your toes right to your forehead, your
Steven Webb:
00:04:57
cheeks, your neck, your hands. Everything tends to right up. Hold it. Hold it. And
Steven Webb:
00:05:05
now just let everything relax. Everything, every single muscle in your body just relax deeper and deeper into the bed
Steven Webb:
00:05:13
like they've never relaxed before. Just allowing them to slowly drift off with your out breath.
Steven Webb:
00:05:23
At this point, your body will start to drift off to sleep. And that's fine to allow your body to
Steven Webb:
00:05:29
go to sleep while your mind is still listening. It's
Steven Webb:
00:05:33
perfectly normal. Your body would normally fall asleep first and then your mind will follow.
Steven Webb:
00:05:45
And as your body does continue to fall asleep, imagine yourself in a peaceful meadow, surrounded by tall
Steven Webb:
00:05:53
trees and wild flowers
Steven Webb:
00:06:05
You can gently just feel the sun setting in the distance. You can feel the warmth on your face. It's
Steven Webb:
00:06:13
painting the sky full of hues of orange and pink.
Steven Webb:
00:06:23
You feel the gentle breeze on your skin.
Steven Webb:
00:06:37
You notice a real comfortable spot that you can go and sit.
Steven Webb:
00:06:45
Just imagine yourself sitting down there you can still... See the sun. You can still feel the breeze and feel
Steven Webb:
00:06:53
the slight warmth on your face.
Steven Webb:
00:06:59
And you feel your mind just quieting down slowly, getting ready for the sleep.
Steven Webb:
00:07:22
You notice sound of nature all around you. The birds are chirping away.
Steven Webb:
00:08:00
You take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this and all the tranquility it brings to you.
Steven Webb:
00:08:14
And with each breath in your body and your mind just relaxes and becomes more and more calmer, closer to
Steven Webb:
00:08:21
a deep sleep.
Steven Webb:
00:08:24
Slowing down more and more with every breath.
Steven Webb:
00:08:29
As every thought gets slower coming to you, and slower just going away as it drifts.
Steven Webb:
00:08:39
You no longer feel the need to hold on to any thoughts, they're just coming and going.
Steven Webb:
00:08:47
You can hear my gentle guidance just coming and going as each word comes and goes.
Steven Webb:
00:08:56
The worries and stresses of your day just fade away, replaced by a sense of calm and serenity.
Steven Webb:
00:09:26
You allow yourself to fully relax and feeling your muscles loosen and your body sink deeper and deeper into the
Steven Webb:
00:09:33
ground.
Steven Webb:
00:09:42
You feel yourself as part of this meadow, part of the noise, part of the nature. And you just feel
Steven Webb:
00:09:50
at home and completely comfortable and totally secure. And it's the perfect space to have this wonderful
Steven Webb:
00:09:58
deepest night of sleep.
Steven Webb:
00:10:32
And on each breath as you breathe in calm and breathe out relaxed.
Steven Webb:
00:10:38
You just feel yourself going deeper and deeper into this sleep.
Steven Webb:
00:11:13
And you feel a sense of gratitude wash over you as you take in the beauty of this place.
Steven Webb:
00:11:46
You realise that you have everything you need in this moment.
Steven Webb:
00:11:50
Peace, tranquility and a sense of connection to the natural world
Steven Webb:
00:12:04
as you sit in this peaceful meadow. You allow yourself to drift off into a deep and restful sleep.
Steven Webb:
00:12:32
You know that when you wake up you will feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
Steven Webb:
00:14:23
Slowly drifting off into a deep sleep.
Steven Webb:
00:14:30
You feel an immense amount of gratitude for your life and
Steven Webb:
00:14:38
body.
Steven Webb:
00:14:41
This peaceful moment
Steven Webb:
00:14:47
And all the joys and energy this will bring to you the next day after a good night's sleep.
Steven Webb:
00:15:09
Any last thoughts just come and go from your mind knowing you can relax into a deep sleep.
