Sound familiar? There could be a variety of reasons why your brain and body are fighting rest. Whatever that reason is, we owe it to our bodies to release those worries and put them to bed, quite literally, so we can replenish our energy and stay physically and mentally well. In today's meditation (that you can save for tonight), we'll practice a visualization exercise that will help you relax your mind and get the sleep your body needs. Sweet dreams.
