[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_01]: But now, a quick word from our sponsors who make this free content possible.

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_01]: A few weeks ago, we went on a family vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I gathered up all our travel points and planned this trip in the midst of my chemotherapy

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_01]: treatments earlier this year because at the time I really needed something to look forward

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_01]: to.

[00:01:26] [SPEAKER_01]: But believe it or not, I almost canceled this trip several times.

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Life felt much too busy to go on vacation.

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_01]: If you've been following along recently, you might know that we also bought a house

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_01]: this month, which we had not expected to do this year.

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I felt like I needed every spare second to pack and get things together for the move,

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_01]: and the thought of going on vacation felt even more stressful to me.

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Long story short, we went anyway, and I was sitting on the beach that first night and

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I realized, whoa, I really, really needed to get away.

[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't believe how necessary it was to get out of my normal life.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_01]: In this nonstop roller coaster of a year, taking a moment to stop and process everything

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_01]: was essential.

[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_01]: As I rested and swam and enjoyed time just being still and letting the sun shine down

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: on me, I felt something in me unclench.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I knew I was making way for a deeper healing to take place.

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes we need to create space for inner healing.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And the irony is that when we need the space the most is when we are least likely to take

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_01]: it.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Just like stopping life for a vacation felt challenging, sometimes stopping to meditate

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_01]: feels really hard too.

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_01]: But it is always, always worth it.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Meditation allows our minds to slow and opens the pathway for deeper mental and physical

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_01]: rest.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't matter if you're needing healing from a major illness or just from the daily

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_01]: stressors of life.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_01]: The sleep meditation Billy has created for us tonight is going to help us all to slow

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_01]: down, get still, and rest deeply so that we can allow inner healing to flow.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Intuitive healing is a process of connecting deeply with the wisdom that resides within.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_01]: There is a part of you that knows what is needed for balance and wholeness, even when

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_01]: that knowledge lies beneath the surface of your conscious awareness.

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_01]: This inner wisdom often communicates through symbols, dreams, and subtle feelings, guiding

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_01]: you toward what needs attention.

[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Tonight's sleep meditation will help you relax your mind and give space to your intuitive

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_01]: insight about what it is you truly need to become integrated and whole, which is the

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_01]: true measure of health and well-being.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Trust that whatever you are experiencing in the now is an essential part of the arc of

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_01]: healing and transformation.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_01]: There are times when you can see clearly, and there are times when the path seems hidden.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_01]: This meditation will guide you to cultivate an ability to see around corners and acknowledge

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_01]: the importance of inhabiting this moment, even and especially when there is resistance

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_01]: to what life is presenting.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_01]: As you settle in, find a comfortable position, allowing your body to relax.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Feel the surface beneath you supporting your weight as you gently close your eyes.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, release any tension or stress you may be holding

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_01]: onto from the activity of the day.

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Let go of what has passed.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Let go of the future, and allow yourself to simply be here now, present in this moment.

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Acknowledge any difficulty that you are having with this.

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes it feels like we want to be anywhere other than where we are.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Still, when we return to the breath and the sensations in the body, we can occupy the

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: attitude of an observer, watching the mind do what the mind does.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_01]: It thinks.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_01]: The mind produces thoughts, sometimes spontaneously, sometimes of our own volition.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_01]: More often than not, they are a response to some stimulus.

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we are reminded of some errand we were supposed to run, and the mind begins to plan

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_01]: when it can be done giving rise to a sense of being behind, or being on schedule as the

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_01]: case may be.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Or perhaps you see an old friend whom you haven't seen in a while, and your mind begins

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: to formulate a comparison between you and them, which either produces anxiety that you

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_01]: aren't good enough, or pride that you are, in fact, very, very good after all.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_01]: In either case, the thoughts appear in the mind and you begin to identify with the thoughts,

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_01]: even though those thoughts were nowhere to be found before the stimulus appeared, and

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_01]: soon fade after a short time.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_01]: In order to tap into the capacity or healing that intuition affords, we need to move beyond

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_01]: surface-level thoughts, reactions, and identities in order to access our inner guidance and

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_01]: deeper self-awareness.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, bring your awareness to the thoughts passing through your mind.

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Perhaps they come as fleeting memories of the day, things you did, things you need to

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_01]: do, or maybe they are comparisons, judgments, or worries.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Watch them appear and fade, like clouds drifting across the sky.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Recognize that these thoughts arise, stay for a while, and then disappear.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_01]: There's no need to hold onto them or to act on them.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Allow them to dissolve, knowing that these surface thoughts are not the deepest parts

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_01]: of your being.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_01]: As you let go of these fleeting thoughts, imagine descending gently, deeper and deeper

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_01]: into yourself.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Beneath the surface of the mind, there are layers of knowing that can exist beyond words,

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_01]: layers of wisdom that guide you without effort.

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_01]: This is where your inner guidance lives, always there, although you may be so aware of the

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_01]: surface that the depths are not available to you until you allow your thoughts to settle

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: down.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Feel the quietness of your body and mind, and sense the deeper intelligence within you.

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_01]: You may notice a sensation, a feeling, or perhaps an intuitive sense that something

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_01]: inside you is calling for your attention.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_01]: It might be a part of you that needs care, or a thought you've long avoided, or a tension

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_01]: you've carried for too long.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Trust that whatever rises to the surface is here for healing.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Breathing gently in and out of the nostrils, bring your awareness back to the rise and

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_01]: fall of your breath.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in, breathe out.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Breathe in, breathe out.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in, breathe out.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Continue on.

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Let your body relax and feel yourself drifting into a state of peaceful rest.

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Allow each breath to guide you deeper into relaxation, and envision a soothing, healing

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_01]: light surrounding you.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Take a moment to gently acknowledge this part of you without judgment, without trying

[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_01]: to change anything.

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_01]: You are simply becoming aware, tuning in to what your body and mind are asking for.

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Let yourself rest in this awareness, knowing that simply by listening, healing is already

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_01]: happening now.

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Now.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Now.

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Healing is not just about solving problems or removing pain.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It's about understanding the messages behind these sensations.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_01]: As you sink deeper into relaxation, imagine your body, mind, and emotions as a harmonious

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_01]: whole.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Everything within you, your thoughts, your feelings, your physical sensations, is working

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_01]: together to help you become your true self, which is a whole and integrated being.

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Whole and integrated being.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Whole and integrated being.

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_01]: As you continue to relax, imagine a soft, healing light surrounding you, gently illuminating

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_01]: these hidden aspects of yourself.

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_01]: This light is warm, tender, and compassionate.

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It asks nothing of you except to allow yourself to be exactly as you are in this moment.

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Feel this light offering you comfort, clarity, and calm.

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Wrapping you in a sense of deep peace.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Trust that your body holds wisdom, and that every sensation or thought you experience

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_01]: is part of the process of becoming whole.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Recognize that becoming fully yourself is the gift of a lifetime.

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Allow yourself to embrace all parts of yourself, even those that feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar.

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_01]: They are simply calling out to be acknowledged, to be brought into harmony with the rest of

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_01]: you compassionately and authentically.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Breathe in.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: With each breath, let this light sink deeper into your body, your mind, your heart,

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_01]: reaching those places that need care and attention, even if you don't fully understand why.

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Healing is happening, even if it is quiet and subtle.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes the deepest healing happens when we simply allow ourselves to rest,

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_01]: to listen, to trust in our own inner guidance.

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Open your awareness to the possibilities of a new and transformed way of being.

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Breathe out.

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Now see a serene and expansive landscape where the Tree of Life stands before you.

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_01]: This tree is ancient and wise, with a majestic trunk of wisdom.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Sturdy branches and a canopy that reaches to the heavens.

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Its roots extend deep into the earth, anchoring it firmly and drawing nourishment from the soil.

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Visualize the tree's roots as they spread out beneath the surface.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_01]: They reach deep into the earth, connecting with the nurturing energies of the ground.

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Imagine your own roots extending from your base, grounding you firmly in the present moment.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Feel the connection to the earth's support and stability.

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_01]: The grounding energy flowing through you provides a sense of security and inner strength.

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Breathe in.

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, focus on the tree's trunk, which represents the core of the tree's being.

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Strong, resilient, full of life.

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_01]: This trunk symbolizes your own core self.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You have, within you, personal strength and resilience.

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_01]: As you rest here, imagine drawing this strength from your own inner core.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Feel a deep connection to your own personal power, your own integrity.

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Breathe in.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_01]: See the tree's branches, which stretch wide and high into the sky.

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Full of leaves and blossoms, they represent growth, potential in the many aspects of your life.

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_01]: See yourself reaching out with your own branches, expanding and growing,

[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_01]: seeking new opportunities and insights,

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_01]: open to new possibilities that spread out infinitely before you.

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Breathe in.

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe in.

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Breathe out.

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_01]: The leaves, blossoms, and fruit of the tree are vibrant and full of life.

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_01]: These are the fruits of your inner work.

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_01]: When you have integrated your experiences and your personality,

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_01]: the right action will fall from you like these ripe fruits fall.

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_01]: What comes from the tree is the essence of the tree.

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_01]: As you continue on your path, the future you will encounter is calling to you in the now.

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Just as the fruits trace their success back to the roots,

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_01]: your success, health, well-being call to you in the form of this present moment.

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Whatever you are experiencing now, positive or negative,

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_01]: see the wholeness of yourself inherently in this moment,

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and trust that you are exactly where you are supposed to be,

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_01]: even if it isn't where you would like to be.

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Your intuition calls you to become the most fulfilled version of yourself.

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Know that that wholeness is worth it.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Acknowledging that you may be having a hard time now,

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_01]: still have faith in the vision you have of yourself, whole and complete.

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen to what is arising from deep within yourself.

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in,

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_01]: breathe out, breathe in, breathe out.

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Imagine the leaves gently rustling in the breeze,

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_01]: symbolizing the ongoing process of transformation and renewal.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Feel a sense of peace and satisfaction from the progress you've made,

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and an openness to continued growth and healing.

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Just as the tree draws nourishment from the earth and sunlight,

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_01]: allow yourself to draw wisdom and insight from this symbol.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Trust that, like the tree, you are supported by a vast network of inner resources

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and external influences that help you grow and heal.

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Feel the grounding support of the roots, the strength of the trunk,

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_01]: the expansive potential of the branches, the vibrant renewal of the leaves.

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Imagine these elements merging with your own energy,

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_01]: fostering a deep sense of wholeness and balance.

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_01]: The tree of life symbolizes the interconnectedness of all aspects of your being.

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Just as the tree thrives through its connection to the earth and the sky,

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_01]: you too thrive through your connection to your inner self and the world around you.

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Just as this tree changes from season to season, it is a symbol of renewal, return, and regeneration.

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Allow this symbol of harmony and integration to guide you

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_01]: as you embrace the healing power of your intuition.

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Sleep, sleep, sleep.
