Here’s a Sample of the “Mindfulness Body Scan for Better Sleep” Guided Meditation Script:
Find a comfortable and safe place to lie downChoose any position you’d likeAlthough it’s best if the spine remains neutralClose your eyes, and turn your attention inwardGet present with awareness of your own body, and your breathBreathe slowly and softly in and out through your noseAs you rest here, imagine your whole entire bodyAs a body of lightWhite light, or any color that speaks to youFeel and sense the body as if it’s glowing, warm and vibrant with lightLet this light fill up each little detail of your formLet it fill you all the way down into your fingers and toesLight in your ears, nose, and mouthLight in your lungs, as you quietly breath in and out
As you rest here, perhaps some of the light seeps out of your poresOr out the crown of your headFilling the area around you with a glowSoftening, the boundaries between your body,and your bed, or the space around youAnd then bring awareness to the crown of your headIntentionally, we begin the process of saying goodnightOf turning off the lights, and further resting backAs you say goodnight, imagine the light from the crown of your headBecoming slowly absorbed again by the bodyThe light around your head begins to dimThe light within you head begins to dimAnd as it gets darker, it doesn’t become darknessIt simply dissolves, vanishes, disappears
