Take a moment to settle in.
Let your body rest exactly as it is.
There's nothing you need to do and nowhere you need to go.
Slowly allow my voice to guide you.
As you begin to drift away towards sleep.
Now take a slow,
Soft breath in.
And now exhale gently,
Slowly,
And completely.
Again,
Breathing in,
Calm,
And quiet,
And let it out.
Letting your troubles melt away.
Now,
Feel the surface beneath you.
Holding and supporting you effortlessly.
Allow your body to grow heavier,
Softer,
And more relaxed.
Bring your attention to your forehead.
Let it feel warm and soft.
Next,
Relax your eyes.
Let them be heavy and let them relax.
Moving on to your shoulders.
Let them drop.
Treat them as if a weight is being lifted away.
As well as your arms and your hands.
Soft,
Loose,
And completely at ease.
Now,
Feel your chest rise and fall.
Slow,
Steady,
And calm.
Focusing on your belly.
Allow it to soften.
Allow your hips to sink deeper into comfort.
Let your legs grow heavier.
And let your feet be warm and relaxed.
Your whole body now is supported and safe.
Imagine you're floating or sinking into a soft,
Peaceful place.
As your body relaxes,
Your mind can begin to quiet.
Thoughts may come,
And that's okay.
Simply let them drift into the abyss.
Like clouds moving slowly across a quiet night sky.
No need to follow them.
Just gently return to the sound of my voice.
Now,
Imagine a soft darkness around you.
Calm,
Comforting,
And still.
As if you're being wrapped in a warm blanket of quietness and ease.
Each breath drawing you deeper and deeper into rest.
You may notice your body already beginning to drift.
Your mind becoming softer and quieter.
Sleep is now close.
Gently waiting for you.
There's nothing left to do.
Nowhere else to be.
And as my voice begins to fade,
You can continue to fall deeper into peaceful,
Natural sleep.
