Ishan Shivanand guides you into sleep through body appreciation and spiritual connection. You recall a childhood birthday for joy, recognize each cell as worthy of love, and feel held by a higher power. The meditation ends with affirmations of gratitude and the mantra Namah Shivaya.
Namaste. I want you to lie down now. Become very relaxed. Prepare your whole body. Prepare each and every cell. I want you to remember the time when you were a small child and it was the day of your birthday. It was early in the morning and you had woken up. You were so very happy because you knew that today was the day when everybody was going to love you. You knew that today was the day when you are about to receive so many gifts from all those people who love you the most. I want you to remember Remember this feeling of anticipation, this feeling of excitement, this feeling when you know that you're about to achieve and you do not know what it is going to be, but you know it is going to be very special. Let this amazing feeling be awakened in your body. But before this feeling awakens, I want you to realize how very special you are. There are millions of atoms around you, millions of cells, but the atoms that make your body are the most special atoms. Today, acknowledge these atoms. Out of the infinite atoms in the universe, out of the infinite atoms around you. These atoms are special. They are a part of you. Today, look at all these atoms within you like a mother looks at her child. And bring the intention. I love all my atoms. I accept them. I understand how special these atoms are for me. And just like a flower blossoms when the sunlight falls upon it. Feel every atom awakening, blossoming, as you acknowledge and accept their presence. Let there be happiness flowing in each atom as you bring the intention I accept each atom. I understand how special they are. Today I love each atom. I bless each atom. I accept. From the atom, I want you to become aware of the more macro state. Become aware of your every cell, from your head all the way down to your toe. And today, understand how special your cells are. You are aware of everything that is around you. You are aware of the wind. You are aware of the sky. You are aware of who is calling you. You are aware of all the emails that you have received. But what about the cell which gives you life? Today, for the first time, I want you to become aware of yourself. Each cell working so hard for you. Each cell working day and night to give you life. Each cell continuing its process like a mother continues to work hard for their child. Today, become aware of each cell of your body. I want you to understand how special your cells are. Your cells are like an archive of all the knowledge available to man. Your cells have the power to reveal all the secrets of the universe. It is your each cell that gives you life. Which makes you possible. Today I want you to awaken all the love that you are capable of, the love for something that is working for you unconditionally. And today, being aware of each cell Bring the intention: I accept you the way you are. I love you unconditionally, and I request you to awaken all the potential that is within you. I surrender to the power that lies within me. I acknowledge the hard work of each and every cell. And just like the caterpillar becomes a butterfly, Feel each cell awakening, becoming brighter like the sun. Feel your body filling with the light that lies within, and feel how that makes you feel. When your body is ready to receive whatever you are about to receive. And as the cells become active, I want you to become aware of a more macro state Become aware of your body. Your body is your best friend. Your body loves you. That is why your heart is beating all the time for you. Your lungs love you. And that is why they breathe all the time with you. Your stomach loves you. That is why unconditionally it works hard for you. Your eyes love you. Your nose loves you. Your skin loves you. It is time to love them back. It is time to acknowledge your body. Bring the intention: I accept the light that remains within me. I accept that I am the seed of divinity. Today I acknowledge and love my skin. I acknowledge and love each and every organ of my body. And just like my body loves me unconditionally, today I am ready to love my body unconditionally. Like a nature loves the being, like a mother loves her child, today acknowledge and accept your body completely. Like a mother praises the child, I want you to praise your body for all the hard work that it does. Thank your body for the health that you feel. Thank your body for the emotions that you experience. Thank your body for each and every experience that you receive. I accept my body. I love my body, and I acknowledge the love that is given to me by nature. Just like electricity lights a lamp, just like a spark lights the fire, feel the acknowledgment, the love that you awaken, energizing your body from head to toe. Become very relaxed. Just witness. Witness your body activating. Witness your body preparing to receive. Witness your body about to change in the most beautiful manner. And as your body prepares, I want you to take your awareness to a more macro state. I want you to become aware of the universe that is around you, and I want you to acknowledge that there is someone in this universe who loves you the most. Someone has to love you. That is why from all the atoms in the universe, your atoms became special. That is why of all the cells in the universe, your cells form the body. Someone has to love you. Because you are alive, there is someone who loves you very much. You call that someone God, you call that someone Guru, whoever that someone is to you, today become aware of that power in the universe who loves you the most. And I want you to remember the feeling that the child had, the feeling on his birthday when he knows that he's about to receive. Today, bring that same feeling of anticipation towards the one who loves you the most. And I want you to bring a feeling, an awareness within you, connecting your heart to the one who loves you, the power in the universe. Bring the intention. I thank the light for all the miracles that I am about to experience. I thank the light for all the love that is going to flow between me and my family members. I thank the light for all the health that is now awakening within me. I thank the light for the most beautiful day that is going to be tomorrow. I thank the light for all the beautiful dreams that I am about to see. I thank the light for flowing within me in the form of life, for flowing within my cells in the form of energy, for flowing within my heart in the form of love, and for flowing within myself in the form of healing. I am now ready to receive. I surrender to the divinity. And just like a rock goes deeper into the sea, let yourself go deep in this healing that I invoke in you, around you, as you go deeper in your sleep. Remember, you are the most special being. Remember, your every atom loves you. Your every cell loves you. The highest power in the universe loves you. You are the most special being, and tonight for you I am going to pray. For you, all the Siddhas in the world are going to pray. Tonight is the night you are going to be healed. Tonight is the night when you are going to experience the most beautiful sleep. You are special, and we all love you. You have my permission now to let go. Slowly go to sleep. Slowly go deep. And as you sleep, remember, remember to thank your guru for the most beautiful day of the most beautiful sleep you are about to experience. Namah Shivaya.
