If your mind tends to stay busy at night, or your body feels wired when it should be winding down, this gentle bedtime practice will help guide you into sleep.

In this episode, Holly guides you through a simple sequence of slow breathing, body awareness and nervous system regulation techniques designed to help your body shift into its natural rest and digest mode.

When the nervous system settles, sleep becomes much easier.

This practice is designed to be listened to as you settle into bed, allowing the breath and gentle pacing of the guidance to naturally lead you toward deep, restorative rest.

You don’t need to do anything perfectly. Simply get comfortable, listen, and allow the body to unwind.

You’ll be guided through:

💤 Gentle body awareness to release tension

💤 Slow breathing to calm the nervous system

💤 Letting go of the day’s mental load

💤 A gradual transition into deep sleep

You might find that practising regularly helps train the body to switch off more easily at night.
