Welcome to this deep rest and sleep journey.
Tonight we are stepping into a gentle journey designed to ease your body,
Quiet your mind and help you drift softly into deep peaceful sleep.
Make yourself as comfortable as possible.
Settle your body.
Adjust your pillows and blankets as needed.
Allow everything around you to support you fully.
Take a slow breath in and a long soft breath out.
Feel your body begin to loosen as the day slowly fades into the distance.
Just let your breath guide you into deep rest.
With gentle deep inhales and even slower exhale.
Inhale,
Gently let your belly expand.
Exhale,
Belly contracting slowly.
Inhale,
Gently let your belly expand.
Exhale,
Slowly releasing the day.
Inhale,
Gently belly expanding.
Exhale,
Slowly softening your body.
Inhale,
Gently your belly expands.
Exhale,
Softening your thoughts,
Releasing the day.
Letting go of anything that feels tight or heavy.
You are safe.
You are supported.
You are ready for deep rest and sleep.
Allow everything from the day to fall away behind you now.
Releasing any thoughts.
Letting go any worries.
Releasing any conversations.
Letting go of any unfinished things or thoughts.
They are drifting away like sand slipping through open fingers.
You don't need to hold anything now.
You don't need to fix anything.
You don't need to think.
You are allowed to completely let go.
Bringing your awareness all the way down your body to your feet.
Feel the gentle weight of each foot.
Let them soften.
Let them grow heavy.
Let them melt into stillness.
As if the earth itself is cradling them.
Relax all your toes.
The space between your toes.
The tops of your feet.
The soles of your feet.
Feel warmth spreading slowly.
Easing away any tightness.
Relax your ankles.
Allow them to loosen.
To become soft.
Fluid.
Unhurried.
Soften your calves.
Feel them unwinding.
As if a slow wave of relief is washed through them.
Relax the backs of your legs.
The sides of your legs.
The fronts of your legs.
Let everything below your knees settle into deep rest.
Relax your knees.
The outer edges.
The inner folds.
Feel the joints releasing their grip.
Feel space opening here.
Calm.
Peaceful.
Let your thighs release.
The big muscles softening.
The deeper layers loosening.
Feel the weight of your legs sinking down.
Down into the bed beneath you.
Held by Mother Earth.
Awareness moving to your hips.
Relaxing.
Let them become heavy.
As if they exhale into the mattress.
Let the pelvis widen.
Settle.
And rest.
Soften your belly.
Let it rise and fall without effort.
Let all the holding of the day melt away.
Let the front of your abdomen relax.
The sides relax.
The lower back relax.
Everything softening to the rhythm of your breath.
Relaxing your ribs.
Feel the space between each rib widening gently as you breathe.
Your whole torso expanding and releasing.
Without forcing.
Without trying.
Your ribs relaxing.
Your chest.
Let the heart space become open.
Wide.
Unhurried.
Feel a soft glow there.
Spreading warmth.
Warming everything it touches.
Relax your shoulders.
Let them drop.
Let them unwind.
Let them fall away from your ears.
As if gravity is taking all tension with it.
Feel the back of the shoulders melt.
The front of the shoulders loosen.
The entire upper body sighing into rest.
Soften your arms.
Your upper arms.
Your elbows.
Your forearms.
Your arms.
Your wrists.
Let them feel warm.
Let them feel weightless.
Let them be heavy and weightless all at once.
Completely surrendered.
Relaxing your hands.
Each palm resting.
Each finger resting.
Each tiny joint relaxing.
Feel a gentle tingle.
A peaceful heaviness.
Like your hands are drifting into sleep.
Before the rest of your body.
Relaxing your throat now.
Let it open.
Soft.
Free.
Jaw relaxes.
Unclenches.
Tongue released.
Allow the mouth to rest effortlessly.
Soften your cheeks.
The muscles around your nose.
Relax your eyes.
The tiny muscles around them.
Let them sink deeper into stillness.
Relax your forehead.
Let it smooth out.
Let all expression melt away.
Like warm evening breeze.
Gently smoothing every part.
Feel your entire face soften.
As if it is wrapped in gentle light.
Held.
Calm.
Unburdened.
And now feel into your whole body.
From the soles of your feet.
Awareness all the way through your body.
To the crown of your head.
All resting.
All quiet.
All soft.
All slow and still.
All held in deep peaceful ease.
Imagine yourself lying beneath a soft quiet night sky.
The air is gentle.
The world is still.
And you feel safe here.
You feel held.
You feel comforted.
Above you the sky is a deep calming blue.
A peaceful blanket of night.
Nothing is pulling at you.
Nothing is expected of you.
You are simply resting.
Here in the quiet.
With your own breath.
Let this sense of peace move through your whole body.
You are drifting.
Softly.
And naturally.
And now as you rest beneath this quiet sky.
You may feel a soft warmth gathering inside you.
A feeling of comfort.
Relief.
Of ease.
A deep knowing that right now you don't have to be anything.
You don't have to do anything.
But here you are resting.
The night holds you gently.
Like a calm embrace.
Like a soft whisper saying to you.
It's okay to let go.
It's okay to let go.
You are safe.
You are supported.
Your breath is soft.
Your body is heavy.
Your mind is quiet.
You are drifting.
Floating.
Slipping gently towards sleep.
Let yourself fall softly.
Into this deepening quiet.
Nothing to do.
No thing to manage.
Just warm darkness.
Welcoming you into sleep.
You are on the edge of sleep now.
Right on the doorway.
Let yourself drift.
Let yourself sink.
Let yourself dissolve.
Into peaceful rest.
You are safe to sleep.
You are ready to sleep.
Sleep is rising to meet you now.
Rest deeply.
The night holds you gently.
Like a calm embrace.
Like a soft whisper saying to you.
It's okay to let go.
