Relaxation techniques and deep breathing meditation can help reduce the damaging effects of these in the moment and over time. Mindfulness meditation and in this case specifically meditation for sleep and anxiety are keys we can use to open the door to restful sleep and a peaceful mind. In this 15 minute guided meditation we cover breathing exercises for anxiety as well as techniques in sleep meditation that are designed to relax and calm you down.
Falling asleep when we're overthinking or worrying about problems can feel impossible and counting sheep doesn't always work. Learning how to meditate so that your mind and body can relax enough to drift off can be useful during stressful times in life. 15 minutes is all you need sometimes. Breathing exercises help slow your pulse and anxiety meditations help clear your mind.
Before you know it you'll be ready to sleep with a relaxed mind and stress free body. Whilst mindfulness is the basis of many meditations, try not to get this confused with overthinking. When we overthink we cause so much stress and anxiety within our minds it creates tension within our bodies.
Mindfulness might sound like we're trying to overthink our way out of this but good mindfulness meditations help us focus on simply observing our thoughts rather than trying to fix or control them. Mindfulness is the real key to helping gently control our mind and release our thoughts enough to reduce the noise inside our own heads. It is by doing this we can truly begin to relax inside and out.
