Allow me to gently guide you through a power nap with this guided meditation. With a background of relaxing piano music and rain. Designed to get you relaxed and cozy to power down before you power on through your afternoon.
The positive effects of napping have been proven by research, showing that a short mid-day nap can increase alertness, improve reaction time and clear your mind. When taken shortly before the need to be productive - a midday sleep is a great productivity boost.
This afternoon nap meditation will guide you through a gentle relaxation practice so that you may rest deeply, refresh completely, energize optimally and creatively find ways to achieve big goals for yourself.
Listening to this meditation while napping will make that process smoother, easier and even more beneficial for your productivity at work and over the course of each day.
This afternoon nap meditation will guide you from feeling drowsy and unproductive to feeling alert and refreshed through the power of napping. You can use this nap meditation knowing that you will feel safe and comfortable throughout the experience.
Even though this meditation video is 30 minutes long, you are guided through the ideal time for a power nap. You'll actually spend between 10-20 minutes napping in the lighter stages of non-rapid eye movement (NREM).
So the next time you try to push on through the afternoon feeling sluggish, find this video. Get comfortable, and feel an easiness spread through your body as you snuggle into your soft cocoon.
Although science and experience tells us that the midday nap is a wonderful habit to have, many of us don't seem to allow time for naps anymore. Nap pods have popped up in trendy tech companies because they understand that their staff are more creative and productive when they get a chance for nap time to beat the mid-afternoon slump.
Remember back to the last time you tried to power on through a sluggish afternoon. Pushing aside cues that you are tired. And now think how more productive you may have been if you had recharged your energy with a short nap.
