Guided Meditation Before Sleep: Love Yourself, Love The Day (15 Minutes)

You made it to bed. The safest place you could possibly be is where you are right now. Let the mattress and sheets and even the air in your bedroom wrap you like a safe and warm cocoon. Gently and slowly and softly, just let your eyes settle. Let them close as they've seen so much today. They've seen enough today. And bring to mind a realization. A very safe realization that you don't need to pretend. You don't need to hold any kind of posture that you had to today. Think of moments today where you had to bring energy. Maybe you had to please others or even take energy to please yourself. And that's all done. That's all finished. You don't have to do anything but lie there in safety. Just as you are. Nothing to fix. There's nothing to calculate. A calculation won't bring peaceful sleep. To figure something out right now won't bring peaceful sleep. What the moment calls for now is you to just be as you are. Letting your body relax. The tips of your fingers all the way up to the top of your head. And the tips of your toes all the way up. As if a warm energy is just wrapping itself around your entire body saying, It's okay. It's okay to just release now. Just lay and witness your body unwinding. Like a tight ball of thread now just unraveling in no rush. In its own time just opening to the sense of freedom. The sensation of rest. If you feel comfortable enough this calming sensation can travel throughout the day you just had. This peaceful sensation can follow you through the day you just experienced. Bring to mind a certain part of your day any kind of memory. And can you offer that person who experienced today a sense of compassion a sense of unconditional support a real sense of a sense of non-judgment. And as you offer that person that past self that experienced the day as you offer them this sense of consolation a sense of understanding and appreciation the past is able to just float away outside the room as you make peace with different moments through the day. The moments that maybe were difficult. The moments that were stressful. The moments where maybe there was some loneliness. With each of these experiences you had today go back and offer unconditional compassion for the person that experienced all this. A warm embrace to them. And for the next few moments do this in multiple scenes through the day that you had as if touching each of these moments with a beautiful spark of light. No matter what happened. As if the day experienced that may have seemed black and white is now full of light and color and full of love. Embracing these moments to then let them go. Embracing that moment to then let it float. Embracing another moment to let it go. Now allow all of these parts of the day to float out of the room and what's left is safety. What's left is an acknowledgement and love for yourself. Of the real good that you gave yourself. Of the love that's truly there and here. And as beautifully as you did this exercise, shift your focus to your breathing. As the inhale brings peace. As the exhale brings relief. As the inhale brings peace. And as the exhale brings relief. Noticing the relaxation. And being completely safe. Being a source of love for yourself. That guides you into a good night's sleep. Good night. You you
