The day is over.
Whatever got done,
Got done.
Whatever did not.
Can wait until morning.
You have nowhere to be now.
Nothing to do.
Nothing to hold up.
Feel the bed holding your whole weight.
Let it.
You do not have to hold yourself up anymore.
You Breathe in slowly and let it all fall out of you.
Now,
Let your body power down.
One system at a time.
Like lights going off in a house.
Bye everyone.
Your legs first.
Heavy.
One more.
All for the night.
Your arms rest heavy at your sides.
Your hands open.
Nothing left to grip.
Your belly softens.
Your guardian can quiet now.
Your chest slows.
Your shoulders drop away from your ears.
Your jaw lets go Let your forehead and muscles around your eyes all relax.
Breathe in for four and out for six.
Long and slow.
Again.
In for four Out for six.
The long exhale is your body's own signal.
That you are safe now.
Keep breathing like that.
Each out breath a little softer than the one before.
Feel your heart and soul.
A little slower.
A little quieter.
Nothing is required of you now.
Thanks for watching!
No bracing?
No guard.
If thoughts come,
Let them pass like the weather in the night sky.
You can thank them tomorrow.
Tonight belongs to your body.
You are safe.
You are done.
Let yourself be carried the rest of the way into sleep.
