- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome to Get Sleepy, where we listen, we relax, and
- 0:09Speaker 1: we get sleepy. My name's Thomas, and I thank you
- 0:16Speaker 1: for being here for this bonus episode. It's another of
- 0:21Speaker 1: Nikki's wonderful self-written and narrated meditations. This time, we're focusing
- 0:29Speaker 1: on forgiveness. Sometimes it's so important for us to forgive,
- 0:37Speaker 1: and not simply for the sake of others, but for
- 0:41Speaker 1: our own well-being. I'll let Nikki tell you more shortly.
- 0:49Speaker 1: But first, ensure you're comfortable and settled in, ready to listen.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Enjoy a deep breath in and a long breath out.
- 1:15Speaker 1: And now, I'll hand over to Nikki to take you
- 1:19Speaker 1: through her sleepy affirmations for forgiveness.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Forgiveness is not always simple of course sometimes it asks
- 1:45Speaker 2: us to face feelings we'd rather turn away from feelings
- 1:50Speaker 2: that live both in the heart and in the body
- 1:55Speaker 2: and forgiveness can take many forms it may be that
- 2:00Speaker 2: we're asking ourselves to soften towards someone else It may
- 2:06Speaker 2: be that we want to release ourselves from old pain. Sometimes,
- 2:13Speaker 2: the hardest forgiveness of all is the kind that we
- 2:17Speaker 2: extend inward, towards ourselves. The affirmations we'll use tonight are
- 2:26Speaker 2: gentle statements, little reminders spoken in the present tense. Some
- 2:33Speaker 2: may resonate with you more than others and that's perfectly okay.
- 2:38Speaker 2: You can choose to repeat these affirmations to yourself, to
- 2:42Speaker 2: listen in, or let them drift past like clouds across
- 2:48Speaker 2: the sky. Wherever you find yourself tonight, this meditation is
- 2:54Speaker 2: not about effort. It's about creating space for compassion, for release,
- 3:07Speaker 2: and most of all, for rest. So let's continue to
- 3:14Speaker 2: settle in now. Allow the surface beneath you to hold
- 3:20Speaker 2: your weight completely. take a slow gentle breath in and
- 3:42Speaker 2: let it go another deep breath in and a long
- 3:52Speaker 2: sigh out With each breath, feel yourself arriving more fully
- 4:03Speaker 2: here in this moment. Let the weight of the day loosen.
- 4:12Speaker 2: The thoughts, the tensions, the stories you've been carrying. Allow
- 4:21Speaker 2: them to soften. And notice the points of contact between
- 4:42Speaker 2: your body and the surface beneath you. Feel the steadiness there,
- 4:48Speaker 2: the support. Allow yourself to sink into that feeling a
- 4:55Speaker 2: little more with every breath. your awareness on your body
- 5:13Speaker 2: notice any areas of tightness or discomfort and bring your
- 5:19Speaker 2: awareness there now wherever you might notice any heaviness tightness
- 5:30Speaker 2: simply acknowledge it Now let your breath move toward those places.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Imagine each inhale bringing a little more space to those
- 5:50Speaker 2: areas of discomfort. And each exhale helping to release a
- 5:56Speaker 2: fraction of what might not feel so good. let's release
- 6:27Speaker 2: that practice now and allow your forehead to soften Your
- 6:35Speaker 2: jaw to unclench. Your shoulders to drop. Your chest and
- 6:46Speaker 2: belly to rise and fall effortlessly. Allow your arms and hands,
- 6:57Speaker 2: your legs and feet to soften further into rest. And now,
- 7:22Speaker 2: in this space of comfort and safety, welcome these affirmations
- 7:28Speaker 2: and invite them to settle quietly into your heart I
- 7:39Speaker 2: release the hold that past hurts have on my heart.
- 7:58Speaker 2: I allow grudges to loosen their grasp, making room for peace.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I embrace the freedom that comes with moving on from resentment.
- 8:39Speaker 2: With rest, my wounds are soothed and I feel lighter
- 8:44Speaker 2: in myself. I know that we all make mistakes and
- 9:05Speaker 2: that compassion is always possible. I know that holding onto
- 9:25Speaker 2: anger weighs me down. I let any sense of bitterness ease.
- 9:46Speaker 2: and choose kindness to settle in its place. I allow
- 10:04Speaker 2: forgiveness to rest in my heart, even if nothing around
- 10:08Speaker 2: me changes. I honor a path of ease, whether it
- 10:29Speaker 2: means rebuilding or moving on. I embrace the healing power
- 10:49Speaker 2: of releasing negativity, knowing that it lightens my own heart.
- 11:10Speaker 2: I prioritize my peace by acknowledging and clearing away old grievances.
- 11:31Speaker 2: I know that letting go of anger is an act
- 11:34Speaker 2: of self-care. I nurture my own growth by loosening the
- 11:55Speaker 2: weight of past conflicts. I find liberation in not allowing
- 12:17Speaker 2: the past to control my present. I carry forward the
- 12:36Speaker 2: understanding I've gained while allowing the pain itself to ease.
- 12:58Speaker 2: I offer myself grace and let it expand gently outward.
- 13:18Speaker 2: I welcome a spirit of generosity, extending kindness to myself
- 13:24Speaker 2: and others. I make space for peace, respect, and understanding
- 13:46Speaker 2: to arise naturally. I open myself to inner harmony, letting
- 14:07Speaker 2: it soothe what still feels tender. I hold myself with
- 14:27Speaker 2: care and extend the same care to others. I use
- 14:48Speaker 2: calm reflection to soften what once felt sharp. I release
- 15:09Speaker 2: the need to fix everything tonight and simply allow space
- 15:14Speaker 2: for repair. I'm patient with the process of reconciling and healing.
- 15:51Speaker 2: I lean toward love and let resentment soften. I value
- 16:14Speaker 2: my mental and emotional freedom more than I value holding on.
- 16:38Speaker 2: I make space for both hurt and understanding to exist,
- 16:42Speaker 2: side by side. I choose to treat myself and others
- 17:01Speaker 2: with patience and care. I feel lighter when I welcome
- 17:20Speaker 2: understanding and empathy for myself and others. By softening my heart,
- 17:46Speaker 2: I invite rest and ease to enter. I welcome moments
- 18:07Speaker 2: of connection and joy into my life.
- 18:09Speaker 3: I invite rest and ease to enter.
- 18:24Speaker 2: I embrace each day as an opportunity to live with
- 18:28Speaker 2: an open heart so I am mindful of the words
- 18:48Speaker 2: I choose using them to heal rather than hurt. I
- 19:09Speaker 2: acknowledge that time can bring perspective and healing. I cherish
- 19:28Speaker 2: the peace that comes with being unburdened by animosity. I
- 19:49Speaker 2: am grateful. for the ability to grow from all experiences.
- 19:53Speaker 2: I nurture resilience by gently releasing past grievances. I celebrate
- 20:30Speaker 2: the progress I make each day toward a more forgiving heart.
- 20:52Speaker 2: I rest in the quiet glow of compassion, letting it
- 20:57Speaker 2: shine gently through me. I restore my well-being by distancing
- 21:18Speaker 2: myself from harmful feelings and memories. I believe in the
- 21:39Speaker 2: restorative power of kind acts and gentle words. I loosen
- 22:01Speaker 2: the weight of any unresolved thoughts and emotions, letting them
- 22:07Speaker 2: rest for now. As I prepare for sleep I clear
- 22:25Speaker 2: my mind. I rest deeply knowing each day brings new
- 22:50Speaker 2: opportunities for healing and connection. I surrender to a restful
- 23:10Speaker 2: sleep in the present moment. As night surrounds me, my
- 23:31Speaker 2: heart is soft and quiet. With each breath, I feel lighter.
- 23:57Speaker 2: As if the day's weight is falling away. I rest
- 24:20Speaker 2: in the safety of this moment. Sleep carries me gently
- 24:47Speaker 2: as my whole being finds rest and renewal. I surrender
- 25:10Speaker 2: to sleep now. Open to calm. Open to rest.
