So Let’s Begin…

MENTAL HEALTH NIGHTTIME CHECK IN SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT

Slow yourself down, 

As breath brings you inside. 

Slow its rhythm down,

Gathering all the air provides. 

PAUSE

Feel your body melt, 

And sink into your bed.

Release any tension,

From your toes to your head. 

PAUSE

Slowing, slowing, slowing down,

Further inside you come. 

Falling and surrendering, 

To the night’s gentle hum. 

LONG PAUSE

In this space of stillness, 

Let’s check in for the night.

To see what thoughts are roaming,

Which ones are here tonight. 

PAUSE

Just imagine all those thoughts,

Swirling ‘round your mind. 

Watch them as they move and sway,

They don’t have to be defined. 

LONG PAUSE

Did you know that all these thoughts, 

Do not define your soul? 

They often feed the ego’s need,

To make you feel less than whole. 

PAUSE

So just observe these moving thoughts,

Knowing they’re separate from you.

Feel yourself detach from them,

And connect with what is true. 

LONG PAUSE

Perhaps some sadness lingers,

Or anxiety pokes its head. 

Maybe you’re feeling angry,

Or heavy bitterness instead. 

PAUSE

Just take note of all that’s here,

Imagining you’re on a boat. 

Exhale and release them all,

And watch those emotions float. 

LONG PAUSE

Now come back into your body,

It anchors you in the now. 

Then feel the space within you,

And make this sacred vow. 

PAUSE

My mind is my own garden,

I’m planting all the seeds.

I will choose to tend the soil,

And pluck out all the weeds. 

PAUSE

So right now, I choose to plant,

The seedlings that will grow,

Into food that feeds my soul,

So I can truly glow. 

LONG PAUSE

Slow, 

And steady. 

My breath is one with me. 

Slow,

And ready,

My mind is clear and free. 

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
