This is a sacred invitation to release the day and surrender to a deep restorative stillness.
Please settle into your sacred space,
Your bed,
A place where the veil between the worlds is thin.
There's nothing you need to do,
Nowhere you need to be.
Gently close your eyes and bring your awareness to your breath,
Your personal anchor to this moment.
Just breathe and allow yourself to be held in the profound stillness of the night.
Breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of four,
Feeling the cool,
Clean air fill your lungs.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Now hold that breath for a count of four,
Allowing a gentle stillness to settle in your chest.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Now exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six,
Releasing all the noise and distractions of the day.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Breathing in two,
Three,
Four,
And hold three,
Four,
And breathe out two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Breathing in two,
Three,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Continue this rhythmic breathing,
This sacred act of presence.
With each cycle,
Feel the outer world gently fading away,
Its sounds dimming,
Its responsibilities dissolving.
Your breath becomes a quiet compass,
Guiding you into the profound stillness of the night.
Feel yourself becoming lighter,
Softer,
And more open as you surrender all that no longer serves you.
Now bring your awareness to the top of your head,
Your crown chakra.
Imagine a quiet cosmic waterfall of pure violet light beginning to pour in from above.
Listen to the soft,
Gentle hum of its current.
This is the energy of the night sky,
A stream of deep peace and stillness.
Feel it wash over your scalp,
Its cool,
Pure light flowing down through your head,
Dissolving any tension and releasing any thoughts or worries from the day.
This violet light is a liquid serenity that cleanses your mind,
Creating a vast,
Open space in your awareness.
Allow this soothing energy to move down to the space between your eyebrows,
Your third eye chakra.
Feel this cool indigo light gently calming your mind,
Quieting any mental chatter.
See your thoughts slowing down like stars in a vast night sky,
Simply floating by.
With each breath,
Feel your mind becoming stiller and more peaceful.
The light begins to pool in your brow,
Soothing away any tension you're holding in your forehead or temples.
Feel your mind's internal landscape becoming a vast,
Open space,
A quiet expanse where you can simply observe your thoughts without engaging with them.
As your mind becomes quiet,
Allow this energy to continue its journey down,
All the way to your heart space.
Imagine a soft,
Luminous pink light beginning to glow here,
Like a single candle flame in a dark room.
This is the light of your soul.
A compassionate beacon that shines with the pure,
Honest truth of who you are.
Feel its gentle warmth begin to spread,
A soft,
Restorative wave flowing through your entire body.
The light expands with each breath,
Filling your chest with a profound sense of emotional safety and peace,
Soothing any lingering tension in your shoulders and back.
In this sacred space,
You are held in unconditional love.
With each breath you take,
This light intensifies,
Its glow becoming more brilliant.
It holds the understanding that the quietness of the night is a gift,
An invitation to journey inward and listen to the gentle expressions of your soul.
Here,
You are able to hear your heart sing praises for the blessings of the day,
Allowing you to give thanks in a conscious and profound way.
Feel this soft,
Luminous energy flowing from your heart to every cell of your body,
A gentle restorative current that fills you with a deep sense of peace.
In this stillness,
Your heart shares its quiet wisdom,
A pure,
Simple truth that renews your spirit and prepares you for the deep rest you so deserve.
And now,
In this sacred space,
Let us journey into the ethereal landscape of your mind.
Without judgment,
Simply bring to mind the emotional landscape of your heart.
See it not as a list of events,
But as a gentle river of memories,
Feelings,
And sensations.
In this space of profound honesty,
Pose this question to your heart.
What can I lovingly release,
And what wisdom from today can I carry with me?
See any tension,
Any stress,
Any unresolved feelings as wisps of smoke gently dissolving into the stillness of the night.
The answer will rise from your deepest knowing,
A quiet wisdom that settles in your core as a feeling of peaceful resolution.
With the warmth of this understanding now flowing through you,
Allow this pink light to move down your body,
Flowing all the way to your earth star chakra,
Located about a foot below your feet.
Feel a brilliant silver light anchoring itself there.
See a beautiful root system extending from your body,
Glowing deep into the earth.
Feel a profound sense of security and safety holding you,
As if the planet itself is a gentle giant,
Embracing you in its steadfast energy.
As your roots intertwine with the heart of the earth,
Feel a deep,
Restorative energy rise to meet you,
Filling your body with a profound,
Ancient sense of stillness.
You understand that the silent night is not just a time for rest,
But a time for renewal.
By taking this gentle journey,
You gain the wisdom you need to shine brightly as a beacon for yourself and for others.
With a final deep breath,
Allow the light of your soul to anchor itself within your being.
It is a part of who you are.
You are prepared to face each new day with a renewed spirit,
Knowing that your inner beacon will always guide you.
As you begin to bring your awareness back to the room,
Carry this truth with you.
I use the silence of the night to listen to my heart,
And its wisdom renews my spirit to shine brightly for all to see.
