Welcome.
To the healing path.
Tonight there is nowhere you need to be.
Nothing you need to solve.
And nothing you need to accomplish.
This is your time to rest.
Allow yourself to settle into your Bennett.
Making any small adjustments that help your body feel completely supported.
Begin to close your eyes.
And take a slow,
Deep breath.
In through your nose.
And gently exhale through your mouth.
Again,
Breathing in calm.
And breathing out your day.
One more time,
A slow,
Easy breath in.
And a long,
Soft breath out.
Now let your breathing return to its own.
Natural rhythm.
There's no need to control it.
You simply notice it.
Each breath.
Becoming a little slower.
A little softer.
A little more effortless.
I invite you to bring your awareness.
To the top of your head.
Imagine a warm wave of relaxation gently washing over you.
Feel your scalp soften.
Your forehead becomes smooth.
Allow your eyebrows to relax,
Your eyes resting comfortably,
Your cheeks softening.
And your jaw releasing.
If there's any tension you're holding there,
Simply let it melt away.
Your tongue rests comfortably.
Your entire face feels peaceful.
Now that gentle wave of relaxation.
Begins to flow into your neck.
And your shoulders.
Imagine any weight that you've been carrying all day.
Simply sliding away.
Your shoulders.
Becoming comfortably heavy.
Your arms relaxing.
Your elbows.
Your forearms.
Your hands.
All the way to the tips of your fingers.
Every muscle.
Letting go.
Bring your awareness to your chest.
Notice the gentle rise.
And fall of each breath.
Your heart.
Eating steadily.
Quietly.
Calmly.
Your breathing becomes even slower.
Even softer.
Now allow this feeling of relaxation.
To spread into your stomach.
Your lower back.
Your hips.
Releasing every last bit of tension.
Your body knows exactly.
How to rest.
Trust it.
Feel your thighs.
Becoming warm and heavy.
Your knees softening.
Your calves relaxing.
Your ankles.
Your feet.
And finally,
A free toe.
Your entire body.
Is now resting comfortably.
Supported.
Stay safe.
Completely.
At ease.
Now,
Begin to imagine yourself.
In a peaceful place.
Perhaps it's a quiet beach at sunset.
A gentle forest filled with tall,
Swaying trees.
Or a cozy cabin where soft rain falls outside.
There is no right or wrong place.
Simply allow your mind.
To create a place that feels perfectly at home.
Peaceful.
Notice the sounds.
The gentle breeze.
The comforting stillness.
The soft rhythm of nature around you.
Take a slow breath in through your nose.
And breathe in peace.
As you breathe out,
Release anything that no longer serves you.
Every breath.
Carries you deeper.
Into relaxation.
Thoughts may come and go.
Well,
That's perfectly okay.
Imagine each thought as a cloud.
Drifting across the vast night sky.
You don't need to follow it.
Simply watch it float away.
Your attention gently returning to your breath.
Again.
And again.
Each time becoming easier.
Now imagine yourself wrapped in a warm blanket of comfort.
This blanket is made of peace.
Safety.
Love.
And complete and utter acceptance.
Nothing can disturb this quiet place.
You are exactly where you need to be.
Your body is resting.
Your mind is quieting.
Sleep is gently drawing closer.
Wait a moment.
I'll count slowly from 10.
Down to one.
With each number.
Imagine yourself.
Drifting deeper.
Into comfort.
I'm gonna tear you.
Relaxing.

Letting go.
To.
Almost asleep.
One.
Completely relaxed.
There's nothing left to do.
Nothing left to think about.
Just rest.
Allow yourself to drift naturally.
Into deep.
Peaceful.
Restorative sleep.
May your dreams be gentle.
May your body be restored.
May you awaken feeling refreshed.
I knew it.
And deeply cared for.
At night.
