In this 25-minute guided meditation, you’ll be invited to rest with the image of raindrops sliding down a windowpane. Some drops fall quickly, some slowly, some merge together just like the thoughts and feelings that pass through the mind. This practice is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and touches on all six ACT processes in gentle, experiential ways: - Defusion – seeing thoughts as raindrops, not truths. - Acceptance – allowing the weather to be what it is. - Self-as-Context – discovering that you are the one inside, observing. - Present-Moment Awareness – grounding in breath, body, and sensation. - Values – looking beyond the window, to what matters most. - Committed Action – choosing the steps you’ll take when the rain clears. With a calm narrative, grounding pauses, and poetic imagery, this meditation will help you: - Loosen the grip of racing thoughts - Find perspective and calm in the present moment - Reconnect with your deeper values and direction All you need is a quiet space, a comfortable posture, and a willingness to watch the raindrops fall. Take a breath, settle in, and let the rain teach you. __________________________________________________________________________________00:00 - 00:25 Opening00:25 - 01:21 Preamble01:21 - 26:12 Guided Meditation__________________________________________________________________________________I’m Aidan Byrne, a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist specialising in stress relief and sleep support for professionals in high-pressure careers.

You carry the shift long after it ends. The moments, sounds, and worries replay in your mind when you least want them to. The tension settles deep in your body, heavy and unrelenting.

This recording is for you. For the exhausted night-shift worker who can’t stop replaying the day. For the first responder, firefighter, or security officer haunted by the day’s events. For the factory worker, delivery driver, or service staff who doubts themselves despite giving everything.
This CBH-based sleep hypnosis session is designed to help you: - Release the pressure to be perfect - Quiet intrusive thoughts and relentless mental replay - Let go of the burden you carry home - Reconnect with your body’s natural ability to rest deeply There’s no pep talk here.

You’ve done enough. Let this be where you stop carrying it just for tonight. 00:00 - 00:31 Disclaimer00:31 - 01:00 Welcome01:00 - 26:54 Shift Work Sleep Hypnosis
