Closing Down For Sleep

Why we made this track

I think in this age of digital distractions, it can be especially hard to shut down the mind at night. Body scans are a good tool for doing this, because they help shift your attention from the mind to the body. I don’t know about you, but I have done a lot of body scans and I sometimes want a change from the “same old, same old.” So Darrin came up with the idea of combining a body scan with a visualization of a shopping mall that is getting closed down for the night section by section. Plus, it’s hard not to fall asleep to Darrin’s hypnotic voice!

Good Effort

I cannot remember how many times, when I retired for the evening, making this statement; “I wish I had an ON-OFF switch for my mind. I am tired, but I’ve got too much energy and can’t fall asleep...TURN ME OFF! LOL

Closing Down

What an interesting take on a body scan! I didn’t think that imagining my body as a shopping mall while doing a body scan would help me to settle down, but it sure did! As each ‘store’ was closing down, I could feel my body relax more and more. My body is tingling with wonderful sensations welcoming much needed rest. Good Night! 😴

Jan. 5

As I’ve enjoyed a wonderful winter break, tomorrow I return to work and noticed my mind wandering to “worst case scenarios” and “what-ifs”, my goal for this week is to quiet those thoughts by being more present and in tune with what is actually happening and what I have control over.

I love this

It really calms me down and teaches me to be relaxed before I go to bed

Closing down for sleep

I felted that closing down for sleep helps me relax my mind and body.

Sleep

Winding down for sleep is important for me and the thirteenth monkeys in my head. Sleep meditation definitely helps me.

Release

I felt it took me longer to calm my mind but after realizing letting go of the worry’s there was nothing more for me to stress about , goodnight beautiful souls . May this bring you peace of mind ✨

Sleep

I need to be in control of my life. I can be in control of my life, it is up to me.

Shutting Down

Shutting down, turn off the lights. The shopping mall analogy was a little weird but I liked the body check in / recognition. I also enjoyed the guys voice as there are not many on Aura.

Relaxed

I felt very relaxed when I did this. It is important to tune out before bed.

Closing down

I really love this particular one! I have a hard time turning off so this is perfect!

Closing down

Usually meditations are about imagining energy in the body this one was about imagining energy flowing out of the body, in this case shopping mall

Wording

I was enjoying this until he said scalp, that threw me off and sent my mind racing. Wish he’d said “top of the head” or something else.
