Deep and Restorative Sleep

About This Class

This 32-minute lying-down relaxation is structured as a seamless journey from conscious release to deep sleep. Eric opens with slow diaphragmatic breathing and gravity-surrender cues, then leads a progressive muscle tensing-and-releasing sequence covering the fists and arms, shoulders, forehead, legs, and finally the entire body. A thorough yoga-nidra-style body scan follows, methodically moving awareness through every finger, toe, joint, organ, and facial feature to coax the nervous system into profound stillness. The second half shifts to breath-anchor meditation — silently repeating "in" and "out" — before dissolving language into a vivid ocean-wave visualization where breath and wave rhythm merge. A countdown from 27 to 1 on each exhale acts as a gentle anchor that releases the mind into sleep. No movement, no props, no standing — just complete surrender to gravity. Ideal for anyone struggling with sleep, stress, anxiety, or an overactive mind at bedtime.
