Episode Transcript
Welcome to your 10-minute sleep meditation for anxiety. I'm Martin your host and I'm here
(00:09):
to help you drift off to peaceful rest of night and find deep relaxation for sleep.
This session is your simple guide to letting go of the day's worries and accessing quick
sleep induction techniques. If you're struggling with bedtime anxiety or a racing mind at night,
(00:35):
this practice is for you. Before we settle in, this moment of profound rest is brought to
you by cozy earth. There's nothing better for deep, restorative sleep than bedding that
slugs you're asleep soft and breathable. If you want to transform your sleep environment
(00:56):
and finally fall asleep fast, check out cozy earth.com and use my promo code "Carming"
for 41% of all your purchases. Now let's get comfortable and let's begin.
Let's settle into your bed now. Find the position that feels most soothing. Allow the mattress
(01:23):
to completely support the weight of your body and let your eyes gently close. Let's
slow the rhythm of your body down. Take it deep, calming breath in through your nose
for a count of four and slowly, gently exhale through your mouth for a count of seven.
(01:54):
This long out breath is the signal to your body for deep relaxation for sleep. So in,
through your nose for a count of four and then slowly, mindfully, gently exhale through your
(02:17):
mouth for a count of seven and allow yourself to unwind, to release and once more, breathe
in through your nose for a count of four and then out through your mouth for a count of
(02:42):
seven, relaxing and unwinding. Now, return to your natural breathing. We are going to perform
a final full body scan for sleep. Bring your attention to your feet and notice any residual
(03:08):
tension and with your next out breath, visualize it just floating away, evaporating. Let your
feet feel heavy, limp and ready for rest. Move your awareness now up to your core, your chest,
(03:33):
your shoulders. These areas often hold the unprocessed stress and worry of the day. Imagine
you are softening every muscle, every fiber, releasing all the physical tension. Allow your
(03:56):
body to become incredibly heavy, sinking further and further into the mattress. Focus on your
jaw and the muscles around your eyes. These are the last places to soften. Feel the peaceful
(04:22):
weight of your eyelids. You are safe, you are comfortable, you are ready for deep, restorative
sleep. Allow your thoughts to find balance in harmony within the sanctuary of your mind.
(04:50):
As the body settles, allow your mind to follow. If you have a racing mind at night, acknowledge
the thoughts without engaging. Say to them, "I will deal with you in the morning. Now is
(05:13):
my time for rest." This simple skill is crucial for letting go of the day's worries. Repeat
these soothing phrases to yourself, feeling their truth, sink in. My body is restful and
(05:39):
my mind is quiet. My body is restful and my mind is quiet. I am safe and I am ready to
(06:01):
form a sleep fast. I am safe and I am ready to form a sleep fast. See these words. Imagine
(06:22):
the echo of them flowing through every fiber of your being. Imagine you are floating peacefully
on a tranquil, still lake under a dark, quiet, starlit sky. The water is perfectly calm
(06:46):
and warm. Every gentle wave that passes under you takes a thought, a worry or a fragment
of bedtime anxiety further away. The darkness is comforting, silent and deep. This feeling
(07:10):
of absolute peace is your natural state. Allow yourself to be entirely held by this peaceful
moment. You are doing nothing, going nowhere, just drifting off to a peaceful rest tonight.
(07:37):
Feel that powerful film towards sleep with every breath you are sinking deeper into tranquility
and rest. This is your time for quick sleep induction. And imagine and repeat these words
(08:02):
once more. My body is restful and my mind is quiet. My body is restful and my mind is quiet.
(08:27):
I am safe and I am ready to form a sleep fast. I am safe and I am ready to form a sleep fast.
(08:47):
When you breathing deeply allow the sounds of my voice to fade as you drift off to sleep.
There is nothing else you need to do and nowhere else you need to be. Just allow yourself
(09:08):
to sink deeper and deeper into deep restorative sleep. Thank you for sharing ten minutes of
sleep meditation, anxiety with me. Practice every night, fall asleep fast and find deep relaxation
(09:35):
for sleep. And when you wake in the morning, feel free to leave a five star rating in review.
Tell others struggling with a racing mind at night so that they can find this powerful
tool to drift off to a peaceful rest tonight. Sleep well my friend and in your dreams tonight
(10:03):
to yourself be kind.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
