Welcome.
Let yourself arrive slowly.
If the world has felt loud lately.
If your system has been taking in more than it can easily process,
This is a space where things can soften.
Settle into your resting position.
Give your body generous support.
Blankets beneath you.
A pillow under your knees if it feels good.
Something warm across your body.
Sensitive nervous systems work hard.
They notice subtle shifts.
They feel deeply.
They register tones,
Moods,
Environments.
That sensitivity can be considered a gift.
But sometimes it simply becomes a lot.
Tonight you don't need to filter anything.
You don't need to manage the world.
Simply close your eyes when you're ready.
Feel the simple rhythm of breathing.
Nothing needs to be adjusted.
Bring awareness to the contact points of your body.
Your heels touching the surface beneath you.
Your calves support it.
The weight of your hips sinking down.
Your spine resting without effort.
Notice your shoulders.
Sensitive nervous systems often carry quiet tension there.
Let your shoulders drop just a fraction lower.
Your arms heavy beside your body.
Your palms resting naturally.
Feel the back of your head supported.
Your jaw soft.
Your tongue resting in the floor of your mouth.
The small muscles around your eyes smoothing.
Now slowly move awareness through your body.
Right arm.
Left arm.
Both arms resting.
Right leg.
Left leg.
Both legs heavy.
Your entire back body supported.
Your front body soft.
And receptive.
If your body has been holding alertness today,
Allow that alertness to fade by just one degree.
There is no rush.
Your body remembers how to settle when it feels safe.
Living with a sensitive nervous system can mean feeling more.
More stimulation,
And more subtle shifts in the room.
Sometimes this depth is beautiful.
And sometimes it can become overwhelming.
Perhaps there are moments when your body feels too full.
Too much information moving through.
Too many impressions lingering.
Tonight,
Nothing needs to be processed.
Nothing needs to be sorted or understood.
Now introduce a quiet inner phrase.
Something steady,
Something gentle.
Silently repeat.
Any of the following sentences that feels the most true.
My sensitivity is safe here.
My nervous system is allowed to soften.
I don't need to hold everything tonight.
Choose what feels most supportive and repeat it quietly.
Let the words settle through your body,
Like warm water moving through tired muscles.
Allow your breath to move naturally now.
Nothing to guide or shape.
You're body heavy.
The mind drifting.
Sensitive systems often stay alert.
Long after the day has ended.
And tonight,
That alertness can soften.
Layer by layer.
If thoughts arrive,
Let them pass like distant clouds.
If sensations move through your body.
Let them flow.
Nothing needs to be followed.
In a few moments,
My voice will begin to fade.
The sound will continue to hold you.
You're not being left alone.
The space remains steady.
Support it.
Gentle.
Let your body blur at the edges.
Let awareness widen.
Let yourself drift gently.
