10 Minute Body Scan Meditation for Sleep and Deep Relaxation

Use this short 10 minute guided body scan meditation to relax and let go. Deep relaxation meditation helps promote restful sleep and a conscious body scan mindfulness meditation is an easy way to do this. If you haven't heard of a body scan meditation before then this is a perfect introduction to the benefits of deep relaxation and the healing powers of a session like this. All that's involved is a conscious relaxation of your body parts piece by piece running through your entire body usually head to toe. A 10 minute guided meditation like this is a perfect meditation for beginners due to it's simplicity and relaxation benefits. Scanning your body for tension is an easy way to find tight muscles and areas of your body where you are unknowingly holding stress. Mindfully releasing that tension helps make you more aware of it daily and gives you the ability to consciously release it. The deep sleep benefits of mindful guided meditation mean that it becomes easier to fall asleep fast and reduce insomnia sometimes within a matter of minutes. Learning to scan your body for tension, notice it, release it and do that head to toe can begin to make big changes in your internal world. This body scan meditation is powerful for meditation beginners as well as those who struggle to sit still for a long period of time. 10 minutes of guided meditation to help promote internal calm and deep sleep is a small price to pay for a quiet night. Some meditations for sleep are hours long which is great for many with extensive meditation experience, but this meditation had been designed specifically for those who are looking for just a few minutes of peace, healing and mindfulness to help them relax at any point during the day or night.
