Often times stress, anxiety and an overactive mind keeps us from sleeping well. Mindfulness-based sleep meditations help by calming the mind & body, reducing stress and anxiety.

3.1 MINDFUL SLEEP MEDITATION

A soothing mix of mindful deep breathing combined with gratitude practice and a relaxing body scan. Designed to put you in a good mood, calming both mind and body.

3.2 MINDFUL SLEEP COUNTDOWN

All of the above plus a countdown to lull your mind into sleep.

3.3 THE COOLING BREATH

Relaxation does not get much easier than this. Through activation of the para-sympathetic nervous system, the cooling breath calms and soothes the nervous system, calms the mind and the body, and encourages deep relaxation. Do this practice if you feel anxious or need to slow down after a long and busy day. Good for insomnia, hypertension, or any other stressful condition.

WHY IT WORKS - THE “SECRET” FORMULA

Deep abdominal breathing calms the fight or flight reflex, helping the body and mind to relax. Slow, controlled breathing improves the flow of blood through the lungs and out to the body and brain, improving focus, concentration, and mood. Moving awareness through your body is a great way to facilitate sensations of warmth and ease in the body, as well as to acknowledge tension and release it. Releasing physical tension helps you let go of mental stress.

According to studies, gratitude has been linked to sounder sleep, less anxiety and depression, and higher long-term satisfaction with life. Having gratitude for the good things in your life (especially right before bed) is a terrific way to sleep more peacefully. Leading psychologists say counting your blessings is much more effective than counting sheep.

Individuals participating in mindfulness-based meditation programs have reported feeling less distressed by their lack of sleep, discovering better coping skills for handling their insomnia, and experiencing an overall improvement in the quality of sleep achieved.

By actively engaging in meditation prior to sleep, you may soon find that you are experiencing a reduction in the time it takes to get to sleep, improved sleep quality, and reduced daytime drowsiness.

Try our sessions and see if you can benefit from the practice like so many others have.
