Transcript
Welcome to this meditation on deep breathing for better sleep. My name is Michael, and I will be your guide on this journey this evening.
Go ahead and find a comfortable place to lie down, settling into a position that allows your legs and arms to rest with ease. Turn your palms up toward the sky.
Once you’re settled, let’s take a full breath in through the nose… and a gentle sighing exhale out of the mouth. Let’s try that once more—deep inhale, filling up the belly, expanding the rib cage, and lifting into the chest… and then exhale, letting it go.
Allow your body to soften. Take a moment to scan from the top of your head down to the floor—relaxing the shoulders, arms, and fingertips. Soften the space around your collarbones, chest, belly, mid-back, and lower back—sinking into the floor, one breath at a time.
Let the hips relax, releasing tension all the way down the legs, through the feet, and to the very tips of your toes.
As you continue to bring awareness to your breath—its depth and quality—notice that with each exhale, your body, and every single cell within it, softens just a little bit more.
