Now revised with slightly longer pauses during the narration, this soothing journey helps you to let go of distraction, relaxing your body and mind to drift into sleep. After the guiding ends, there are 14 additional minutes of ocean music waves and then just waves for the remaining 15 minutes to help you deepen even more into sleep.

Drift Into Sleep Meditation

 I invite you now into the peaceful, renewing realm of sleep as the calming waves of the ocean music soothe you into a gentle unwinding, surrounding you like a cozy warm blanket on a cool night. And you are welcoming yourself to the soft comfort of your bed, your pillow, your sheets and blankets. Into the stillness of bedtime, your oasis from the activity of life, feeling your body sinking into the mattress, loose and limp like a ragdoll. Settling into your most favorite comfortable position, the position that helps you fall deeper and deeper asleep. Releasing and relaxing as you move towards rest, gently closing your eyes, letting go into the soft darkness behind your eyelids. And as the outside world begins to fade into the background, you can continue your journey into your own inner world, into that unique and special part of you as you continue to let go. Entering into the dreamlike, restful sanctuary where you can simply drift into sleep. Gentle healing, renewing sleep, allowing a memory to come to mind now of taking a deep, restorative nap. A time when you were fully immersed into the healing peace of deep, nurturing, satisfying slumber. Perhaps imagining taking a nap in a gently swaying hammock on a peaceful turquoise beach. And there's nothing but the sound of the waves to lull you deeper and deeper into sleep. Let your mind and body remember just how to sleep so deeply and you can access this kind of sleep again as you prepare now for a long, restorative slumber all through the night. And as you deepen into this realm of sleep, it's good to begin letting go of thoughts of both the past and the future, allowing your unconscious mind to surround you with the comforting, soothing, peaceful calmness of this moment. Connecting again with an awareness of that cozy, warm blanket. And sensing this blanket to be a kind of shield that protects and insulates you from distracting thoughts. As you return to the moment-to-moment awareness of your body unwinding, your worries falling away, your sense of self-care and self-protection guides you to further release all that no longer serves you in this moment. Perhaps imagining your distracting thoughts now floating on a magical cloud that gently moves off into the healing night. Floating away up into the atmosphere where the moon and the stars can fill them with light, transforming or dissipating all that no longer serves you into pure light. Letting go and allowing the sound of the ocean music to take you deeper and deeper to relaxation. Letting the sound of the ocean music to bring you to that natural process of rest. Connecting with a healing light that shines down from the top of your head all the way to the tips of your toes, healing and soothing every cell, every inch of your body, calming and preparing you for this time of renewing, healing, rest. When your back softens and your spine feels the support of the mattress, your neck is cradled by your pillow. Focusing on your breathing, deepening into the stillness of your own breathing and with each breath imagining that you are breathing in a powerful, relaxing, natural sedative that moves through every part of your body and with each breath you become more and more relaxed. Letting all the muscles in your jaw become limp and relaxed, your tongue resting gently on the bottom of your mouth, relaxation spreading down your neck and shoulders and all the way to your fingertips and your arms are feeling heavy and relaxed as they are supported and comfortable. And now taking in another deep breath and expanding your chest and belly, placing your hand on your belly as you feel it expand and relax, deeper and deeper relaxed. And this wave of relaxation spreads all the way down your legs and every muscle in your leg softening, relaxing, feeling this sense of calm from the top of your head all the way down to the tips of your toes, feet softening, the arches of the feet releasing from the responsibility of supporting your body. As you fully rest in the comfort and the support of your bed. And now bringing to mind these words of affirmation to further support your healing, calming journey as you continue to drift into sleep. It is safe and it's time for me to fall asleep. The most important thing I can do to take care of myself right now is to surrender to the bliss of deep sleep. My breathing and my heartbeat are further calming my mind, body and spirit. My autonomic nervous system now takes over as I surrender to the wisdom of my body. There is nothing I have to do except allow this natural process to unfold. I settle into the sweet space of rest. My body receives this rest. I know how to do this. I am safe. My focus now is simply to drift into a deep and restful sleep. I am surrounded with light and love. I am at peace. As I relax into the lullaby of the sound of the ocean music, the endless sound of the gentle waves. I can imagine that I am being gently cradled, floating with the ebb and flow of the waves. I am held in the arms of a deep and comforting sleep. The ocean waves carry me now into a gentle, calming place as I now drift into a deeper, deeper sleep. The sound of the ocean music will only take me deeper into the healing land of comforting rest. I am drifting into a deep and restful sleep. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am at peace.
