Welcome,
Dear soul,
Ready to close out the day with gratitude into sleep.
You are here at the very end of your day,
A time where there is nothing left to do,
Nothing left to solve,
Nothing left to carry forward.
This is your time to rest.
Allow your body to settle into your sleeping position now,
However feels most natural,
Most comfortable,
Most effortless for you.
Let your bed support you completely.
Let the surface beneath you do all the holding,
So you can let go.
If your eyes are not already closed,
Allow them gently to close now.
Let your attention turn inwards.
Begin with noticing your breath,
Slow breaths in through the nose,
And releasing out.
Perhaps take one deeper breath in now,
In through the nose,
And release this one out through the mouth with a sigh.
Again breathing in deeply,
And breathing out,
Letting the day dissolve.
One more deep,
Nourishing inhale,
And a long,
Easy exhale,
Sending the signal to your body that it's safe to sleep now.
Allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm.
You don't need to follow it,
It will take you where you need to go.
Your breath knows the way.
As your body softens,
Imagine a warm,
Gentle light appearing above the crown of your head.
This light is slow,
Steady,
And calming.
It carries the frequency of gratitude,
The quiet appreciation that comes from simply being alive.
Feel this light resting above you,
And then slowly,
Gently,
It begins to pour down through you.
As it moves across your forehead,
The brow smooths,
The eyes relax back into their sockets,
The jaw releases,
Every small muscle on the face lets go.
You no longer need to hold expression,
You are safe to soften.
As the light flows through your senses,
Allow any thoughts of the day that may arise to fade away without effort,
Without attachment.
Moments you saw,
Sounds you heard,
Simple experiences that came and went,
You don't need to analyze them.
If they come up,
You simply acknowledge them,
And let them pass.
The light flows down into your mind now,
Quieting any thoughts,
Slowing mental movement,
Thanking the mind for all it did today.
All thoughts drift further apart,
Like clouds thinning in the night sky.
The golden light moves through your throat,
Releasing any need to speak,
Releasing any need to explain,
Releasing any need to understand.
You do not need words anymore,
A warm light pours into your shoulders,
Sending healing energy down into the arms,
Into the hands,
Into all the fingers,
Hands that worked,
Hands that held,
Hands that can rest now.
The chest softens,
The heartbeat steady,
Faithful,
Without asking anything from you.
Offer quiet gratitude to this heart,
Your heart,
That beats for you,
A quiet rhythm taking you into sleep.
The light moves through the organs,
Through the belly,
The hips,
Down the legs,
Through the knees,
Calves,
Into the feet,
Into all your toes.
Your whole body is now wrapped in warmth,
Your whole body a vibrating field of gratitude,
Nothing to become,
Nothing to improve,
Nothing to do.
If the mind begins to wander,
That's okay,
Sleep is already arriving,
You have released the day,
You have done enough,
Tomorrow will come when it's ready,
For now only rest exists.
Allow yourself to sink deeper,
To sink heavier,
To sink softer,
As if the body is gently melting into the bed beneath you,
Breathing out,
Letting go,
And now as the conscious mind fades,
Allow these affirmations to wash over you softly,
Like whispers drifting through sleep,
You do not need to repeat them,
You do not need to listen closely to them,
They will land where they are needed,
And your subconscious mind can absorb them all,
I am grateful for this day,
I am safe to rest,
I am held as I sleep,
I am grateful for this body,
I am grateful for this breath,
I am letting go completely,
I am releasing the day,
I am calm in my body,
I am quiet in my mind,
I am softening with every breath,
I am supported beyond effort,
I am allowed to rest deeply,
I am safe in stillness,
I am wrapped in peace,
I am free from needing answers,
I am sinking into sleep,
I am thankful for small moments,
I am thankful for simple things,
I am trusting the night,
I am guided as I sleep,
I am resting in gratitude,
I am secured,
I am held by life,
I am drifting gently inwards,
I am relaxed from head to toe,
I am at ease now,
I am letting sleep come naturally,
I am supported through the night,
I am breathing myself into rest,
I am safe to let go,
I am calm and comfortable,
I am thankful for today,
I am ready for sleep,
I am sleep,
There is nothing more to follow,
Only sleep,
Good night,
And as you sleep,
The affirmations will echo in the music,
Taking you deeper and deeper into gratitude,
Gratitude for the day,
Gratitude for your life,
Gratitude for your sleep,

I am sleep,
As the words fade away,
The music will continue,
Your body knows exactly what to do.
