Guided Meditation for Sleep: How to Meditate

[iampeeay01]

thanks for posting this video.

[MrDubstepking]

I like ur Towel on the wall

[Fuliginosus]

It relaxes me, but when you get to the point where you say that I am asleep, I'm thinking, "Wait--no I'm not!"

[bith52]

no rem sleep this way to vivid.

[Actias1974]

Get rid of the audio noise in the background and it's pretty good.

[whitepowercord]

This really helped me. :) Thank you!

[roisinthemachine]

Not to sound ultra paranoid, but the interference in the background is not any kind of hypnosis type noise cuz ive had bad experience with this in the past!

[pierscross]

Hi roisinthemachine ,

The noise in the background is due to the fact that a lot of the first films I made were with my camera so the quality was not very good. Now have a camcorder so the quality is much better.

Be well,

Piers

[roisinthemachine]

@pierscross No prob i figured as much, i jus wudnt be a fan of hypnosis so i said id ask. Thanks a mill

[WisdomRiver]

@roisinthemachine dont worry. meditation cannot hurt you, since you've had a bad experince, maybe share it with me, maybe i can help you accept meditation...

[iAmCalledLynch]

@roisinthemachine what happened? i ask cuz i listened to one of those last night.

[roisinthemachine]

@iAmCalledLynch Nothing much just a nightmare but i think that had more to do with me than the video! dnt worry!! I prefer just to listen to countdown or rain r sumtin, and piers cross wont do u n e harm! sorry if i freaked u out!

[StarZombie6]

He kinda scares me

[fionaxp]

@StarZombie6 lol

[jollycynic]

This (and your other videos) are relaxing, but aren't really long enough to induce sleep. Not to detract from you though, your delivery and vocal tone is excellent.

[makesomenoise1993]

his face justs makes me laugh

[3kabc]

I have high anxiety so when I try to sleep, it won't let me//:

But watching this video and meditating all day actually has calmed me down enough to relax, Thank you.

[enyana20]

I always get so anoiyd when i hear him say you are now a sleep meens it didn't work and yet again i am staring at my ceiling at 3 at night :(

[Lancer101m]

I thank you very much for uploading this video it calms me down every time I watch it, thank you

[Shift4chizzle]

wow, i woke up when u said u are now asleep lol but wow my neck is so weak now i cant hold my head up

[gillyobaggin]

this calms and relaxes me every time i watch it =) i dont often fall asleep but it certainly helps =) thank you very much for uploading this =)

[pierscross]

Hi gillyobaggin,

Thanks for leaving the comment and really glad it relaxes you so much. It's a pleasure.

Take care and be well,

Piers

[romka4567]

i always listen to some music light goa music. And at times my eyes close and i could still see my ceiling and the corners move slightly. I get scared at times because i do not know if my brain is playing tricks on me. I sometimes get sleep paralysis as well. And usually if i go to sleep late i could see waves of images in my eyes before sleep it is like i am seeing my dream but not fully lucid :/.

[stephen8575]

Dont worry be happy "Bob Marley

[icehawk77]

@stephen8575 "Don't worry be happy" is actually a song from Bobby McFerrin and NOT from Bob Marley xD. (A lot of people seem to be not knowing this for some reason xP)

The "Marley-version" is more like "Don't you worry 'bout a thing, 'cause every little thing 's going to be alright." (Three little Birds) Peace x)

[WhispererRose]

Piers, congrats, you have done an amazing job with these videos. Do you think you could do a whisper video? Thanks in Advance.

[CNUtheAuthor]

Hi Piers! Thanks for this wonderful sleep meditation video. I've been inspired by you and several others on YouTube to complete a 10 minute video for sleep hypnosis/meditation. I hope it helps people to relax and overcome insomnia. If you'd like feel free to have a look at my Youtube page where that video can be found. Thank you for all your meditation videos, they're very relaxing! :)

Best,

-CNU

PS- If you have any thoughts or suggestions let me know. :)

[mymooncakes]

Thank you for this video. I listen to it almost every night when I get into bed. Your voice is so peaceful and your words so calming. Love and light!

[airplaneking]

You should consider increasing the length by at least 10 more minutes and this will be golden.

[khambatta1]

[Goodhockeyplayer3]

[JTDeBolt]

Piers,

This is a great video. I was REALLY wound up, and in need of sleep but could not settle down. I did an internet search and found this video and I was OUT within minutes of watching it. I will definitely be back for more of your content. Thank you for such an excellent video!

~JT

[squiral247]

i am 14 and i admit your voice is somewhat greatly calm, peaceful and warming.

[xtiermishuexx]

O.O i fell asleep in an instant. I fully vouch for this, with all my being as man...

[xtiermishuexx]

O.O fell asleep like a baby, but without the crying. Very effective, i vouch for this fully!

[Hannahandmuffin]

fantastic, have watched all your vids, learning so much about meditation which i never knew. this works! that comment you said when you spoke about the body surviving on no food for weeks and water but a breath you need every few seconds

thanks!

[LizzyAston]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzz.........

must say though i couldnt help but to bust out at some of the things you said - all part of the technique though

[ahrecondite]

For those of your asking meditation is self hypnosis. I know these techniques and was going into the stupor until he said "You are now asleep", if my defenses didn't kick up it would have worked.

[123456789cheat]

I've done some beautiful things today :D

[aliraise]

thankyou so much - i havevery recently been prescribed antidepressnts and this i feel this is what i need - i studied kung fu for three years but ogt bored then got into drugs ect ect, you have inspired me and my partner to get into this way of thinking . thank you

[Terranmarine3]

Thank you for making this video. It truly did help me feel way more relaxed in bed at night.  Cheers, TM3

[ZombiLibre]

I love this. Truly, truly effective.

[jonmdill]

Great work, I finally feel like going to sleep. This almost seems more like being hypnotized than meditating though... or maybe they are two very similar things?

[AFXXX72]

Amazing, great job.

[starreisuk]

I felt almost hypnotized wanting to kiss you all over. Is that normal? I cant sleep with that in mind ...

[EasyTutorialTube]

you vioce suprised me i dident realy think a males vioce could be relaxing but you proved me wrong thanks, please make more!

[OddEye83]

As others have said, this video doesn't put me to sleep, but it does put my mind at ease. The only flaw with this video is the buzzing background noise that's heard, I would suggest uploading the video again without this sound if you're able. But otherwise, great video!

[mexmetal666]

thank you for this video brother!

[Xhaphanus]

You have a very soothing voice.

[nascentangeleyes]

its 530am, i have been laying in bed for 6 hours trying to sleep and tossing and turning driving myself crazy because my mind wont shut up....i did this meditation and it feels like everything shut off...thanks for helping me relax

[WhiskersMctabby]

thank you very much!!! worked like/as a charm  :)

[DinahoftheRailroad]

Although I didn't fall asleep this at least put my mind at ease. Thank you.

[Besantor]

[pierscross]

In peace,

Piers

[Dmasterman]

Question: IS this meditation to help someone sleep?

Because to mediate doesn't someone have to be awake? (serious question!)

[Pumpie]

Meditation isn't necessarily always a conscious act. It's being aware, and one can be aware when they drift off into sleep. You become aware of your body, your thoughts, your feelings, and you allow them to exist with no attachment.

By doing this, we can let go of our anxieties, our worries, our thoughts and fears and coexist with them in a way that allows us to sleep.

[pierscross]

Hi Dmasterman,

I agree with what Pumpie says. I would add that this meditation is to help someone sleep.

Meditation before sleep is a method of unplugging the mind. If we don't unplug the mind then we can have trouble sleeping.

Like pumpie says, meditation releases those thoughts, fears and the mind can slip easily into a restful sleep.

And yes, you do need to be awake to meditate but if you fall asleep while meditating there is no harm done...

Be well,

Piers

[Dmasterman]

cool thanks

[murrayhaha]

i suppose you could meditate yourself to sleep?

[Dmasterman]

Yeah

[workingthrash]

meditation always knocks me out so thats what i use it for

[pretypapa]

Hey, i wanna thank you for posting these videos!! i've always had trouble sleeping, but i think after listening to your voice, i can go to sleep much better. thank you so very much!

[pierscross]

Hi Pretypapa,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment - it;s great to hear that you are sleeping well again.

Be well,

Piers

[NtKFiR3ArM]

i used to be one of those people who could not go to sleep without the tv on, and i knew i had to change that.

after watching your videos, this one in particular, i can gladly say i can sleep easily again, thank you.

[pierscross]

Hi,

Thank you for your wonderful comments - keep going with the practice and you will continue to be well,

With blessings,

Piers

[ffatali]

u distracting me with your smooth and sexy voice iaint gonna sleep now for a while

[boneysin]

@ffatali look out r a hindi word called chutiya .. and ur tht

[cam477]

I have always had trouble with sleep. I've tried everything and nothing really works. Recently I've had a lot of stress in my life and a few weeks ago I started using meditation for the first time to help manage my stress. The daily meditation has really helped.

I want to thank you for your videos especially this one. It has really helped me. I think you have a real gift for this and I want to thank you for sharing it.

Best of luck,

Cam

[pierscross]

Hi Cam,

Thanks you very much for sharing your kind words. I am so glad that you have managed to help your sleeping problem with meditation - I personally feel it works wonders.

If you want more videos to help you sleep check out my children's short stories - they are great for adults too!

May you be well,

Piers

[impermanentoo]

if you have no time to meditate, just keep saying :

May I be well, be happy

May all be well , be happy

Most people try this and will fall asleep within 5 minutes. Those with great difficulty will fall asleep within 30 minutes.

May all be well, be happy!

[mimirent94]

I watch your videos often. I agree, you are definitely one of the best! I can usually fall asleep to the sound of your voice lol

[pierscross]

Wow, thank you very much for your sunshine comments - a wonderful gift - I receive it wholeheartedly,

May you be well,

Piers

[whynotb7]

Husband snores, How can i relax and sleep?

[pierscross]

Hi,

I have lived with people who snored. My advice is to do as much relaxation as possible before sleep. If you do wake, instead of feeling annoyed feel what you are appreciative about with your husband - takes practice.

Second thing, speak with your husband about it, ask him to sleep on his side. Tell him that if you are woken you will wake him and you want him to turn over.

It may take a few days of doing this for this to work but it has worked with me,

Be well,

Piers

[pierscross]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the vote of confidence - I am glad that you were able to get something out of the videos.

May you be well,

Piers

[singerdaveuk]

wow that was amaizng why have u not go more view ur the best on yout ueb at this was this lke hypnosis

[animejoao]

hi, can meditation replace sleeping hours, thank you.

[pierscross]

Hi,

I would say that the more you meditate the less you feel like sleeping as your sleep is much deeper and more restful. But I would not recommend that you replace sleep with meditation. Not until you have been practicing for a few years.

I go with how I feel - if I am tired then I have a longer sleep but generally I will sleep 8 hours a day.

Wishing you well,

Piers

[pierscross]

Hi,

Thanks for your comments. You are right about getting lost in our day to day activities so that we forget to appreciate all the amazing things that we have. Thank you for reminding me...

May you be well,

Piers

[rtavila]

This has been one of my favorite relaxation videos for a while now.  My favorite thing is when you mention how well I've done and all the good things I did that day. It reminds me that we get so busy living our lives that we forgot all the little things we do everyday that are miraculous. Keep up the good work, you're very talented.

[popsizcrazy]

did it get like hella bright for n e body else when they opened there eyes

[colleenelizlei]

you are nice to listen too and nice to look at!

[smaand1]

wow i started and when you said imagine breathing in pure light with my eyes closed it got so bright i blinked. thank you for the video peace be with you.

[pierscross]

Hi,

It's great to hear that your are able to feel that so clearly,

Peace be with you as well,

Piers

[johnx113]

This is very relaxing.

I think your voice is sexy...

which helps with the whole falling asleep.

but honestly, its very relaxing, unlike a lot of videos on here. thnx.

[pierscross]

Hi John,

Thank you for your honest comments! I am glad that the video helped you to sleep.

May you be well,

Piers

[RockerChick263]

This video helps me alot. I often have trouble sleeping, such as waking up at like 2 AM. I LOVE this. Thank you SO much Pierscross!

[pierscross]

Hi,

Great news that you are sleeping well again. I have lots more sleep tips on my website. Have a look on my youtube homepage or on the "more info" tab on this video. You will find the tip under health and stress.

May you be well,

Piers

[ANDREAEN78]

Namaste, Piers. What a wonderful blessing your videos provide. May waves of joy and love wash over you when you need them most, as your kind soul sends the same to us.  Thank you so much. :)

[pierscross]

Hi Andrea,

Many thanks for your wonderful comments - it gives me great joy to know that people are

benefiting from my videos.

I am starting to see that the more that we share from the heart and connect to the world, the more that we in turn become happy.

May you be well,

Piers

[stonedbutterfly1966]

I have just discovered your videos. I stay stressed and sometimes forget to take time for me. Your videos are helping. Thanks so much.

[pierscross]

Hi there,

I am glad that you are starting to take time for yourself. May you truly be well.

Piers

[bmtimv]

Thanks for the video, it is a great remedy for my insomnia.

[pierscross]

Cool! I am glad that you are sleeping again.

May you be well,

Piers

[bmtimv]

Thanks again Piers!

[Kano112]

Although it seems like its kind of funny to see you talk. The water in the background and your voice work well together. Maybe have some sort of Screen saver on display with your voice in the background. You would be even better!

[pierscross]

What a great idea - maybe I could be one of the options that Microsoft windows has for a screensaver!

Will keep it in mind or if you know anyone at Microsoft...

May you have a lovely year,

Piers

[michelly1023]

thank you

[pierscross]

An absolute pleasure!

Wishing you well,

Piers

[canadianmaple09]

What you're saying is pretty cheesy and made me laugh, but your voice works well for calming and the water sound is nice.

[pierscross]

I am really glad I made you laugh!

May you be well,

Piers

[MrsKiraDepp]
