Sleep Gratitude Meditation

As you prepare for sleep, take three deep, slow breaths. Feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed, more at peace. Now imagine your cells gathering around you, ready for their night of intensive work. And you speak to them softly: "Thank you for today. Thank you for everything you did while I was awake. Now, as I sleep, I want to thank you in advance for the work you're about to do. Tonight, while I rest, I know you'll be working harder than ever. You'll be repairing the damage of the day. You'll be clearing toxins and waste. You'll be consolidating my memories. You'll be regenerating my tissues. You'll be balancing my hormones. You'll be strengthening my immune system. You'll be restoring my body to full vitality. I thank you for this intensive healing work. I honor you. I trust you. I celebrate you. As I sleep, I send you this message: You are worthy of my gratitude. You are worthy of my trust. You are worthy of my love." Now feel yourself drifting deeper into relaxation. Your cells are settling into their night work, knowing you've thanked them. Knowing you recognize their value. Knowing you honor their tireless service. Feel your body becoming lighter, more peaceful, more at ease. Your cells are working. Healing. Regenerating. Restoring. And you are safe. You are cared for. You are held by the intelligence of your own body. Sleep now, knowing that your cells are taking care of you. Sleep now, knowing that you've thanked them. Sleep now, knowing that tomorrow you'll wake more healed, more restored, more alive. Thank you, my cells. Thank you for everything. Sleep well. Heal well. Restore well.
