Here’s a Sample of the “Sleep Meditation – Equanimity” Guided Meditation Script:

So, welcome back to another guided sleep meditation.
And today’s practice will be focused on cultivating the quality of equanimity.
The state of inner balance, inner peace.

So, taking some time to get settled in your bed.
Lying down and relaxing the body.
Releasing any stress or tension from the body.
And releasing any stress and tension from the mind as well.

So, putting down all your to-do lists and tasks.
Giving yourself permission just to arrive.
With no agenda.
Nothing else you need to do for the day.

Bringing your awareness down into your belly.
Softening the belly and taking a few long and slow deep breaths.
One more time.
Deep breath in, deep breath out.

Sleep Meditation - Equanimity, Sleep Meditation – Equanimity

Allowing your mind to settle on your anchor point.
Feeling your breath.
And see if you can just notice the movement of the breath.
How it changes from moment to moment.

And then moving your awareness outward, feeling the rest of the body.
Becoming aware of your whole body.

And for this practice today of cultivating equanimity, we want to see if we can focus on making space for any experience.

So, whether your experience or sensation is pleasant or unpleasant, see if you can allow it to be present without grasping after pleasant sensations and without pushing away unpleasant sensations.

See if you can simply make space for any experience.
You can use the labelling technique to simply note what you’re feeling.
