When your body feels restless or your mind won’t stop spinning, sleep can feel far away. This short guided meditation is designed to help you let go of the day and ease yourself toward rest — without music, intros, or chatter to distract you.

In just seven minutes, you’ll breathe, soften tension, and practice a simple “catch and release” for both thoughts and muscles — so your whole self can slip into the active, healing power of rest.


Why This Works

Your body and mind are deeply connected — and often, both need permission to rest. This meditation teaches you how to:

• Notice and adjust physical tension

• Squeeze and release your muscles to invite relaxation

• Quiet the mind by “catching and releasing” thoughts

• Gently shift attention between mind and body as you drift toward sleep

By using both physical and mental cues, you’re creating the conditions for your nervous system to downshift into deep rest.

💌 If this meditation helps you drift off, share it with a friend who struggles to sleep too.
