Transcript

Allow yourself to settle into a comfortable resting position. Let your body sink gently into the surface beneath you. Take a slow breath in. And release the breath slowly. The day is complete. Everything that happened today can begin to drift away. Your body is allowed to rest. Your mind is allowed to slow. Bring your awareness to the muscles of your forehead. Allow those muscles to soften. The space around your eyes becomes relaxed. Your jaw loosens gently. Your shoulders drop, And release the weight of the day. Take another slow breath. And allow your body to sink even deeper into comfort. With each breath, Your body grows heavier. Your mind begins to quiet. Thoughts can pass by like clouds drifting across the sky. There is nothing to hold on to. Nothing to solve tonight. Imagine a soft wave of relaxation moving through your body. Flowing from the top of your head. Down through your shoulders. Through your chest and stomach. And gently down into your legs and feet. Your entire body is supported. Your breathing becomes slower. Your body feels calm and safe. Sleep can come naturally and easily. Allow yourself to drift into peaceful rest.
