Meditation for worries that keep you up at night
When the mind loops the same worry over and over at bedtime, it often helps more to release the body’s tension first than to try to reason with the thought directly.
Sample session
Lie down and move through the body from the feet up, pausing a few seconds on each area without trying to change anything, just noticing: feet, legs, belly, chest, shoulders, arms, neck, face. Now breathe at a steady pace, inhaling for about 5 seconds and exhaling for another 5, for a couple of minutes. If the worry comes back — and it probably will — don’t fight it: tell it mentally “I’ve heard you, we’ll talk tomorrow” and return to the sensation of the body and the breath. This isn’t about solving the problem right now, in the middle of the night, but about letting the body relax even while the mind still has unfinished business.
