Welcome to Nite Nite Nurse: Sleep is self care. As a healthcare worker, you dedicate your life to helping others and healing the sick. But in doing so, it can be easy to forget about your own well-being. The demands of your job can leave you feeling physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally exhausted.
That’s why we’ve created this guided meditation called “Healing the Healer,” specifically for healthcare workers like you. This guided meditation will help you relax, recharge, and heal yourself so that you can continue your important work with renewed strength and compassion.
Welcome to Nite Nite Nurse: Sleep is self care. As a healthcare worker, you dedicate your life to helping others and healing the sick.

That’s why we’ve created this guided meditation called “Healing the Healer,” specifically for healthcare workers like you. This guided meditation will help you relax, recharge, and heal yourself so that you can continue your important work with renewed strength and compassion.
Take a few moments for yourself, find a quiet and comfortable place to sit, and let the guided meditation lead you on a journey of self-care and self-healing. Remember, taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of others.
Take a moment to settle in and get comfortable. Sit up straight, but relaxed, with your hands resting on your knees or lap. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, feeling the air fill your lungs and expand your belly. Hold for a moment, then slowly release the breath through your mouth. Repeat this process a few times, feeling the tension in your body start to dissipate with each inhale and exhale. Allow yourself to let go of any thoughts, distractions or worries. Focus on the present moment and the sensation of breathing. Let yourself sink into a state of relaxation and peace.
Good… Now, visualize a warm and soothing light gently enveloping your body, starting from the top of your head and spreading down through your entire being. Imagine this light washing over you, healing any physical, emotional or mental stress you may be carrying. As the light spreads, imagine it connecting with the source of inner peace and calm within you.
Take another deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine any stress, pain, or tension in your body flowing out with the breath. Repeat this visualization until you feel a deep sense of relaxation and peace within you. Focus your attention on your heart, and imagine it radiating love, light and compassion to every part of your body and soul. Allow yourself to sink into this feeling of love and compassion as you imagine yourself being surrounded by a protective and supportive bubble of light.
Remember that you are a healthcare worker, and your role is to care for others. But it is important to also take care of yourself. You deserve the same love, care, and compassion that you so freely give to others. Allow this meditation to be a moment of self-care and self-healing.
When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, and bring your focus back to the present moment. Take a moment to stretch, and when you’re ready, return to your day, feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to continue your important work, with a renewed sense of compassion and strength.
Remember, you deserve to be kind and gentle with yourself. Whenever you feel stressed, overwhelmed or in need of a moment of peace, return to this meditation and allow yourself to be healed and renewed.
