2:16in. As you know, we do our best to bring you a varied, wide-ranging schedule of episodes here on GetSleepy, encompassing not only relaxing original stories and adaptations of classic tales, but also long-form meditations for those who enjoy the opportunity to focus on mindfulness. With that being said, tonight, Nicky will guide you through a series of grounding affirmations to help you feel steady, supported and at ease as you drift towards sleep. Grounding is the practice of gently returning to the present moment. The feeling the steadiness beneath you, the rhythm of your breath and the quiet reassurance of being here now.

3:22Our meditation tonight will help guide you deeper into that sense of study as you ease and to rest. Know that there's nothing you need to achieve tonight. Simply allow Nicky's words to invite you towards calm and relaxation, letting them settle softly within. Now, I'll let Nicky take it from here as we delve deeper into our grounding meditation. So let's start by allowing your body to find its most comfortable position. Feel the

4:30surface beneath you, solid, steady, holding you completely. Notice the points of contact between your body and the ground beneath you, the weight of your heels, your legs, your hips, your shoulders, your head resting easily. Take a slow breath in and let go. Again, a gentle breath in and release. I'll bring your awareness to the rhythm of your natural breath.

5:37And with every exhale, feel yourself thinking a little deeper. As though each breath out, carries you further into ease, further into stillness. There's nothing to do, nothing to change. You're letting yourself soften breath by breath. Moment by moment. Each exhale softens you deeper into the surface as if you're being rooted gently into the earth itself.

6:40Nothing to do, nothing to hold, just resting into steadiness. If your mind begins to wonder, you can always return to the feeling of the earth holding you. And from this place of comfort, we'll begin our affirmations, our gentle reminders to help you feel calm, steady and grounded as you prepare for rest.
