Hello and welcome.
Begin by settling into a comfortable position.
Allow your body to be fully supported and gently close your eyes.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in and exhale softly.
Again,
Breathing in and letting go.
And with each breath you begin to arrive here in this moment where nothing is required of you.
Now,
Bring your awareness to your body.
Notice the weight of your body sinking,
As if the surface beneath you is gently pulling you down,
Holding you,
Supporting you,
Safe.
Relax your forehead.
Unclench your jaw.
Let your tongue rest softly.
And now,
Imagine a soft wave of warmth beginning at the top of your head,
Slowly moving down,
Relaxing your scalp,
Your face,
Like a gentle current floating downward,
Releasing your shoulders,
Your arms,
Your chest.
And as this wave continues,
It carries away the day.
Every thought,
Every tension,
Every lingering worry,
Just dissolving.
Now,
Imagine you are standing at the edge of a quiet ocean at night.
The sky above you is vast,
Filled with stars,
And the water is calm,
Glowing softly in the moonlight.
And with each breath,
The tide moves in and out.
And with every wave that returns to the ocean,
It takes something with it.
One wave takes your stress.
Another takes your thoughts.
Another carries away anything unresolved.
You don't need to hold anything anymore.
Let it all drift away.
Now,
Silently repeat within yourself,
I release this day.
I am safe to rest.
I allow myself to fully let go.
Feel your body becoming heavier,
Your mind quieter,
As if you are slowly drifting.
Floating deeper and deeper into rest.
Now,
Imagine yourself lying on soft sand.
The ocean is breathing beside you.
The rhythm of the waves sinking with your breath.
Everything slowing.
Everything softening.
Until you gently,
Effortlessly,
Drift into sleep.
