Get Back to Sleep Meditation 🌊 Breathe Like the Tide to Calm Your Mind · Abide Meditation App

• 0:14
  Speaker 1: You're awake, but it's not time to rise yet. The
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: world around you is quiet, dim, gentle at the edges.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Even the air feels softer somehow. The sounds, the shadows,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the way your body rests half asleep. Half aware. There's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: no pressure here. No demands. Just this moment. Unfolding softly.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Like a wave that doesn't need to reach the shore.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: You're in between. Not fully asleep. Hovering gently between worlds.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And that is okay. This is a space the body understands.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: A calm channel between tides, suspended between movement and stillness.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: There is nothing to fix. Nothing to chase. Nothing to resist.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: The sea is near. Not in the sense of distance,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: but in rhythm. In feeling. Imagine it now. The ocean
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: at night, a vast expanse of black-blue water, smooth as
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: silk under the stars. No harsh waves, just long rolling motion.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: The moon hangs low, silver and quiet, casting soft light
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that dances over the ripples. Clouds drift slowly overhead. The
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: air is cool, salted and alive. You're lying on the sand,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: or maybe in a small boat, drifting just beyond the shore.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: There's no one else here, just you. Just the water
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and your breath. Your breath begins to fall into rhythm
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: with the sea. Inhale like the sea drawing in, gathering.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And exhale like the sea releasing and emptying. Your breath expands,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: then softens, comes in, then rolls away. Each inhalation stretches
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: across your ribs, wide and open, Each exhalation smooths the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: space between your eyes, across your shoulders and down your spine.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You're not trying to breathe a certain way. You're remembering.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Remembering how it feels to let your body find its
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: own time. The sea is timeless. And so is your breath.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It carries you like driftwood. Like a shell floating just
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: beneath the surface. Slowly spinning in place. You begin to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: notice small things now. The way the air feels cooler
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: with each breath in. Warmer with each breath out. The
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: way your hands rest against the sheet or the blanket.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Palms open. Fingers slightly curled. The softness of the fabric
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: under your fingertips. The stillness in your legs. The weight
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of your hips. Even without moving, you are shifting deeper
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and slower. The bed feels broader now, like it stretches
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: beyond the room, like it has no edges, as if
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you're floating on a raft, rocked by invisible currents. The
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: motion is subtle but sure, a slow sway barely there,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: but enough to remind you that you're being held. The
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: ocean doesn't rush, it doesn't force, it breathes, and so
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: do you, in and out. Each breath more quiet than
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the last. Each wave of thought less certain, less needed.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: There may be a flicker of a thought here and there,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and that's okay. Let these thoughts drift like leaves on water.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Let them rise. Bob gently and move on. You don't
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: need to follow. Now feel your eyes soften further. Feel
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the space between your brows loosen. Let your jaw grow slack,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: your teeth ungrit. Your breath fills the space in your chest,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: then it flows down into your belly, then into your
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: hips and your legs. Each breath is like a tide,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: brushing across every part of you. When you inhale, Imagine
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the sea stretching up the shore, lapping softly at the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: rock and the sand. When you exhale, picture it receding again,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: pulling everything unwanted out to sea. The tide smooths all sharpness,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: fills all cracks, leaves only stillness. You are part of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that now. The air is thicker, heavy with salt and moisture.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It gathers around your skin, Cool in places where the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: blanket doesn't reach. But you are warm underneath, in your
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: own small world. Let your attention move down slowly. Your
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: forehead relaxes. your temples loose. Your cheeks calm. There is
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: no effort now. Only breath. Only waves. Only softness. Your
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: neck heavy. Your shoulders surrendering. your arms still warm and open.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: The ocean drifts around you, beneath you and through you.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Its rhythm is steady and timeless, like your pulse, like
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the earth turning. Now your chest, lifting and falling. There
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: is no tightness, just quiet. Let the sea wash through
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: your belly. Let it soften any knots or clenching. Let
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it warm the space behind your whips. Down into your
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: hips now. Broad and grounded, feel them press gently into
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the bed. Support it like the keel of a boat
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: resting easy on open water. Your thighs are heavy and soft,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: your knees loose. your calves warm and calm. Your feet
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: are fully still, each toe untouched by thought. From head
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to toe now, you are ocean, moving without moving, still
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: but not stiff. There is no effort, only breath and tide.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Sleep is returning, not because you chased it, but because
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: you invited it. You made the space. You allowed it.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Now the sea can take over. The thoughts grow slower, fewer,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: like clouds drifting apart. Your body is done for the night.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: It asks for nothing more. The sea continues. Waves arriving.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Waves retreating. Breathe in and breathe out. Darkness spreads gently
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: behind your eyes, deeper than before, more complete. You are
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: no longer on the edge. You are floating. The world
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: is hushed, and the hush belongs to you. Let the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: sea carry you, breath by breath, wave by wave, into deep, sweet,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: unbroken sleep. Thank you. Thank you.
