Guided Meditation to Fall Asleep in Silence

Tonight, I'll barely talk.

Some nights, words are too much.

Even kind So ones.

just a few, now And and then.

a lot of quiet in between.

Get comfortable.

However you like to sleep.

Your side, your back, your belly.

Turn the light off, if it's still on.

Let the room go dark.

Let your eyes close.

It's Sunday night.

The weekend is folding itself up.

You don't have to help it.

Tomorrow will come on its own.

You don't need to meet it halfway.

For the next six minutes...

let the quiet do the work.

Pull the blanket up.

Let the pillow hold your head.

your hands rest wherever they fell.

Let your tongue go soft in your mouth.

You to don't have follow anything.

Listen to me, or to the rain.

Whichever is easier.

When the quiet stretches long...

you haven't been left.

I'm still here.

The quiet is part of it.

It's where the rest happens.

If you drift off before the end...

good.

Whatever today was...

let it go with this breath out.

That's all it takes tonight.

One breath.

If something from today holds on...

let it.

It'll loosen in the quiet.

From here on...

just a word at a time.

Let each one land.

Then let it go.

Breathe.

Heavy.

Soft.

Still.

Breathe...

Your feet.

Heavy.

Your knees.

Loose.

Your legs.

Sinking.

Your back.

Wide.

Your shoulders.

Low.

Your arms.

Resting.

Your hands.

Soft.

Your chest.

Soft.

Your belly.

Soft.

Your jaw.

Soft.

Your eyes.

Still.

Your face.

Still.

Your thoughts.

Slow...

and still.

Warm.

Breathe...

Breathe in...

And out.

Only the rain now.

Far away.

Still awake?

That's all Lying here quietly is rest too.

Let the bed have all of you.

Every bit of your weight.

Slower.

Heavier.

Softer.

Stiller.

Still here with you.

Still quiet.

Nothing to follow now.

Let go.

Sink.

Deeper than words.

Rest.
