About this session
- Relaxes the body
- Quiets racing thoughts
- Prepares you for sleep
- Releases daily tension
This is a hypnotherapy audio from House of Wellbeing. You start with slow counted breaths, then picture your favourite calming colour as a small light travelling from your head to your toes, loosening each part of the body. Later you imagine pressing a big button marked sleep.
It suits nights when your body is tired but your mind keeps talking. Play it in bed once the day is done, with nothing left to do. It ends with an optional count from one to five, which you can ignore if you want to keep sleeping.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the coloured light for?
You choose a colour that feels peaceful, such as ocean blue or a favourite flower, and picture it as a speck of light. It moves from your head across your face, jaw, neck and shoulders, then down through your chest, arms, hips, legs and each toe. Wherever it goes, it carries tension out as you relax. At the end you thank the light and are told you can return to it any time by closing your eyes.
What is the sleep button?
It is an image you build near the end: a huge button with the word sleep on it. Each time you picture pressing it, the idea is that your mind relaxes and negative thoughts stop in their tracks. You are also invited to use it whenever you close your eyes, as a reminder to give yourself rest.
What should I do when a worry shows up?
The track asks you to look at the thought and check whether it is rational or catastrophic, a worry about the future you can't control. If it matters, that's fine. For tonight you tell yourself, I will worry about that later, my focus is on relaxing and getting my mind ready for sleep.
What is the bedside drawer?
It is where you place any tension, worry or stress that is still with you. You imagine closing and locking the drawer for the night. The worries stay there for you to pick up tomorrow if you need to, so you don't have to carry them into sleep.
What are the breaths at the start?
You breathe in for a count of four, hold for four, then breathe out for six. You do this twice before the imagery begins. Later you also picture the breath flowing down to the base of your spine and back up and out of the top of your head.
What is the counting at the end?
It's an optional wake-up. If you want to keep sleeping, you're told to ignore it and sleep until a time you set yourself. If you do want to be awake, you count from one to five and open your eyes at five.
