I wanted to share another meditation method that I have found extremely helpful for a good night’s sleep or even just to relax yourself after a stressful day.

The following guided meditation involves visualizing light emitting from various parts of the body creating a sense of relaxation.

First lay down in bed in a quiet room with the lights out. Place your arms at your side and close your eyes.

We start with picking a body part that is already in a relaxed state. That could be an ear lobe, the tip of your nose or any other body part that you feel is already in a state of relaxation.

Next envision a bright speck of light glowing from this body part. The light can be any color. For me, I always tend to choose blue.

Admire how bright the light is and with your mind move the light to your feet. The light encompasses your feet and bathes in its brilliance.

Focus on this for a few more moments and then move the light up through your legs. It’s important to visualize the light glowing around every part of your legs, front and back.

After a few moments visualizing this raise the light up to your chest. As you breath in see the light dim. Exhale slowly and visualize the light becoming bright again. Repeat this for about 8 to 10 breathes.

Now move the light to your back. See the light at its most brilliant state. At this point you really start feeling that your body is in a perfect state of relaxation.

Finally, move the the light to your face and illuminate your entire body. As you breath in let the light dim and as you breath out see the brilliance of the light throughout your whole body. Again, repeat this for another 8 to 10 breathes.

Continue to breathe slowly and allow the light to fade for a few minutes, getting dimmer and dimmer as each moment passes. Clear your mind of any thoughts and allow yourself to drift off into sleep.

Thanks for reading. If you found this helpful please share with others.
