Hi all,
I've been using this guided meditation to get to sleep for the past week. It is a mild form of hypnosis...
I have noticed my thoughts being calmer during the day and my mornings when i become conscious have been less tearful or anxious. I even had a nonviolent dream (rare for me) (about playing soccer, yay!)
The meditation takes you canoeing down a river to your own private place that you create. It is work to focus on her guiding words while relaxing. I have to do a lot of slow deep breathing to calm my system. some nights i get there and some nights like last night my thoughts keep interrupting my ability to sink into the vision and explore the place, but i still enter sleep in a more calm way. Other nights i have had success in fully immersing myself in the vision and exploring the land.
The link takes you to the app, (audiojoy) which has a million meditations. It's free! I have it on my android phone.
The meditation I use is found under "guided meditations for mindfulness, relaxation, and sleep (20+ mins each)". You have to scroll down a bit to get to that section. Select it and a menu of meditations comes next.
The one I use is titled, "Falling Asleep Meditation 22:40"
Be advised, if you are sensitive like me, i don't recommend all of the meditations. I tried a few and they made me cry inconsolably (i am really sad, clearly, or you could say in constant fight/flight... and it was telling me to see myself as solid and strong like a mountain, which I am not.... so i then felt more guilt and shame than i already do...), so I learned to listen to them all the way through without participating first to make sure i wasn't triggered.

A bucket full of wishes... is sometimes too heavy
