Sleep Meditation (Bedtime Bath)

Sleep is a funny thing. It is only when we let go of needing to fall asleep and thinking about sleep that we can fall asleep. This meditation involves imagining a bed time bath. Sleep is brought on by changes in your body and this sort of guided meditation helps bring about those changes. Normally, our body follows the rules and keeps with the rhythm of the day and puts us to sleep according to the regular schedule. When it doesn't, that means our thinking or emotional self is giving our body the wrong instructions. It is keeping your body in a state of alertness to protect itself. Listen to this meditation to help shift that state, to put you back in charge of your bedtime self.
