Beach Themed Guided Meditation with Progressive Muscle Relaxation

WARNING: DO NOT PLAY THIS EPISODE WHILE DRIVING.

You just might pass out at the wheel!

Save this episode for just before bedtime!

Mindspace is a life domain where our sleep is impacted. Sometimes going to bed with a busy mind makes it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep.

A guided meditation can help by slowing down your neurons, which generate heat and energy in the brain and impede relaxation.

It's not practical for the brain to go from 100 miles per hour and into a sudden stop and expect restorative sleep.

Instead, we need to slow down the neuron speeds by inducing first Alpha waves (which keep the brain occupied but idle) and then Theta waves, which indicate pre-sleep.

I made this beach-themed meditation to help clients take their brain speeds down while also relaxing the body through progressive muscle relaxation, an exercise where you tense up muscles for a few seconds and then release them.

By the way, the wave sounds you hear were recorded by me at Muir Beach in California!

You'll hear an introduction of this meditation, and then a small break to where you can get yourself in position just before bed.
