So Let’s Begin…
A SLEEP MEDITATION FOR OVERWHELM AND WORRY MEDITATION SCRIPT
Lay down, dear one, the evening is near,
The hush of the night is tender and clear.
PAUSE
Your body grows heavy, your breath slow and deep,
A blanket of calm prepares you for sleep.
PAUSE
The busyness fades as the silence appears,
A river of stillness is washing the fears.
PAUSE
Each thought that was racing now softens, grows light,
And drifts with the stars in the velvet of night.
PAUSE
You rest in a rhythm, so steady, so true,
A cradle of peace is carrying you.
PAUSE
Your forehead relaxes, your jaw becomes free,
Your shoulders release like leaves from a tree.
PAUSE
Arms grow so heavy, hands gentle and warm,
Relaxed by the night, released from the storm.
PAUSE
Your chest gently rises, your belly is wide,
Your breath is the ocean, the waves are your guide.
PAUSE
The muscles unwind all along your spine,
A current of ease in each vertebra’s line.
PAUSE
Your hips melt to softness, your thighs deeply rest,
Your legs and your feet sink down, feeling blessed.
PAUSE
Now visions of light swirl gentle and near,
Each glow is a whisper, each shimmer sincere.
They carry your burdens like lanterns away,
And guide you to dreams where you softly will stay.
PAUSE
Overwhelm loosens, it slips through the air,
Its weight disappearing — replaced by repair.
PAUSE
Your breath is a meadow, your mind is the sky,
The clouds pass with ease as the moon drifts on high.
PAUSE
Every care lessens, it fades like the mist,
Each worry dissolves in the night’s gentle kiss.
You’re bathed in a rhythm both timeless and true,
The night is a river that’s flowing through you.
PAUSE
Here in this moment, no hurry, no race,
Only the sweetness of spacious embrace.
PAUSE
Peace settles softly, it hums in your chest,
A lullaby soothing you into your rest.
PAUSE
Now picture your worries as petals of light,
They drift from your body and glow in the night.
The breeze lifts them higher, they flutter, they sway,
And slowly they vanish, all carried away.
PAUSE
Each breath is a blessing, each moment a gift,
The heaviness gone, replaced by a lift.
You’re steady, you’re grounded, your spirit is clear,
You rest in the knowing that peace is right here.
PAUSE
Overwhelm silences, worry takes flight,
As calm gently anchors the depth of this night.
You float in the silence, you drift in the stream,
Surrendered to stillness, embraced by a dream.
PAUSE
Stay here, beloved, with nothing to chase,
The rhythm of sleep will soften your pace.
The world is now quiet, your soul free to roam,
And all that you need is right here at home.
LONG PAUSE
So rest in the calm, let your spirit take flight,
Held in the arms of the soft, tender night.
PAUSE
Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.
