NSDR Meditation: Letting Go Without Effort
A guided non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) meditation for deep relaxation, stress relief, and letting go — from Paul Sheppard on the Ultimate Mindset Change podcast.
In this guided meditation, you'll do something a little different: instead of trying to relax, you'll discover the body already knows how to release what it's holding. You only need to observe.
Beginning with the breath, this full body scan moves from the crown of your head down to your feet, letting tension soften without effort. Along the way, Paul invites you to notice the part of you that's straining to make something happen — and to let that part rest. When the controlling mind quietens, your true self has space to rise.
You'll also sit with a question worth carrying into your day: what is here right now, when there are no problems to solve?
This NSDR session is ideal for: afternoon rest and recovery, calming an overactive mind, releasing anxiety and tension, and anyone new to non-sleep deep rest.
Pairs beautifully with the Letting Go and Be Free challenge, also on the Ultimate Mindset Change podcast.
Find a comfortable position, soften your gaze, and let your eyes close like curtains at the end of the day.
Please don't listen while driving or operating machinery.
About Paul Sheppard
My work began with my own experience of anxiety. When traditional approaches failed to provide the change I needed, I trained in new methods and developed a process that transformed my life. Since then, I’ve coached hundreds of clients to feel less anxious, more empowered and more in control.
Today, I help professionals become calmer, more confident and better equipped to perform at their best. My neuroscience-backed approach is designed to create meaningful change that lasts.
My coaching goes beyond surface-level mindset work. It helps you recognise the fear-based patterns of the ego, reconnect with who you really are and create meaningful change from within.
Life is too short to let old patterns hold you back.
