• 0:31
  Speaker 1: all know what it feels like to get a great
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: night of rest and tonight we'll enjoy that feeling again
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: with the help of this wonderful sleep meditation Elizabeth will
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: be our guide tonight and if you like her narrations
• 0:53

  Speaker 1: production style. So now, it's time to unwind, switch off,

  Speaker 1: to have your company here tonight. And I hope we
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: can bring you the peace and comfort you richly deserve
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: as you ease in Tibet. I'll make way for Elizabeth,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: who's going to take us through a relaxing meditation that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: will guide you to dreamland.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Allow your mind to wander with the suggestions and visualizations
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I offer. Although I am your guide, this is your
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: meditation and your night of sleep, so I encourage you
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to make it your own. Go down the paths you
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: desire and follow the sensations that make you feel relaxed,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: safe and sleepy. Now begin by getting comfortable, finding a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: position that's both relaxing and supportive. Take your time to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: find this position Feel free to stretch out any areas
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: of tension or discomfort and make whatever adjustments you need
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to settle in. Once you've found that position, close your
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: eyes and bring your focus to your breath. Take slow,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: deep breaths, completely filling and emptying your lungs each time.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: There's no need to rush with these. Follow the pathway
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: of air from your nose and mouth down your throat
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to your lungs and then back out. Feel the expansion
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and contraction of your chest. Although the act of breathing
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: is something we do all the time, there is always
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: something new to experience with it. Try now to notice
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a sensation about your breath that you don't typically pay
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: attention to. Maybe it's the coolness on the back of
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: your throat as the air passes by. Or maybe it's
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: how you can expand your ribs in different ways. Or
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: perhaps it's the areas other than your chest and stomach
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that subtly move with the breath. Whatever it may be,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: take this next moment to sense your own breathing and
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: notice a sensation that's new and interesting to you. Now
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you can release your focus on your breath. In its place,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Let your mind wander to a time when you distinctly
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: remember having a wonderful sleep. When you fell asleep easy,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: with zero effort or thought, rested peacefully and woke up refreshed.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe it was when you were a child napping on
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the sofa while cartoons played on the television. Or perhaps
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: it was more recent, on a vacation when all of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: your cares were washed away by ocean waves. It doesn't
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: really matter where the memory comes from. Just remember a
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: time when you had a full, restful and rejuvenating sleep.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And if a specific memory doesn't come to mind, then
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: don't worry. Give yourself permission to create one in your
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: own imagination and it will be just as effective. Let's
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: take some time to hone in on all of the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: details of this wonderful sleep. Where were you when you
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: had this perfect sleep? Transport yourself there now in your
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: mind And fill in your surroundings. What were you sleeping on?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: What was the light in your surroundings like? What sounds
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: were going on around you, if any? What was it
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: about this moment in time that set you up for
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: such a perfect sleep? Was it something about the setting,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the space you were in? Was it something about you,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: your mental or physical state. What sensations about this perfect
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: sleep stick out in your mind? Were you warm and cozy?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Was the bad particularly comfortable? Were you in a space
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: where you felt safe and at ease? Were you so
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: tired that your body and mind gave up all resistance
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to sleep? Whatever it was that helped you sleep so
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: deeply and so peacefully, Allow yourself to be enveloped by
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: that same sensation now. You know that feeling. You may
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: not be able to describe it, but it lives on
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: in your mind. Try to draw it into the present
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: moment and wrap yourself up in it right now. Remember
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: how easy it was for you to fall asleep. How
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you drifted effortlessly into the land of dreams. how every
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: cell in your body welcomed its embrace. And notice how,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: in this memory, your mind and body didn't try to
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: force sleep. They were simply open to it, allowing it
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to come when the time arrived. Try to find that
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: same sense of openness now, Recognizing that, quite often, sleep
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: won't arrive immediately. That it will come when it's ready,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: which may take more or less time, depending on the night.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Do your best to let go of any desire to
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: fall asleep right this moment. Instead, replace that desire with
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: an appreciation for this time just to be here, unwinding
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: and relaxing. We so rarely get quiet time by ourselves.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: It is truly something to cherish.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: And now, remember how you awoke from that sleep maybe
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: it was with the light of the sun streaming through
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: the window perhaps you awoke completely on your own accord
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: in your own way and on your own time Recall
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: how you felt when you awoke from that sleep. Refreshed, renewed,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: alive and ready for a new day. Notice what your
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: body and mind felt like full of vibrancy and clarity, perhaps.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Remember those sensations that are beyond the comprehension of mere words,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: those feelings that can only be experienced, not described.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: As you draw closer to this night of rest doing
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: so in your own way and in your own time
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: find comfort in knowing that whatever your sleep is like
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: tonight it is perfect Your body knows how to sleep. Indeed,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: it is designed to have periods of rest and activity,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: and it will be sure to get exactly what it
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: needs tonight.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: You have no reason to worry if you're still conscious
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: of my words there's no need to be frustrated and
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: there's no need to think that you should be asleep
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: already That thought is neither helpful nor accurate because you
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: will fall asleep when the time is right for you.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Your mind will turn itself off when it's ready. If
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: it continues to run and think now, then all that
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: means is you have something worth thinking about. And that
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: is a blessing in and of itself. For a life
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: without thought probably wouldn't be very interesting. Remember that you
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: know how to sleep perfectly. It may not always seem
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: easy to come by, but you've done it before and
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: you can experience it now in your own mind as
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: you just have. Tomorrow, you'll awake refreshed, renewed, alive, and
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: ready for another day. For now, enjoy the peace and
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: quiet of being by yourself. And whenever the perfect time arrives,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: you will drift off into the night of sleep you need.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: It will be exactly what you need right now. Nothing more.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Nothing less. The most perfect sleep for you.
