Welcome beautiful soul.
This is your time now.
A time to unwind.
To let the day go.
And prepare your body,
Your mind,
And your heart for a deep,
Nourishing sleep.
So wherever you are,
Allow yourself to settle.
Lying down in a comfortable position,
Your body supported by the bed,
Your arms resting by your sides,
Or wherever they feel most at ease.
Allow your eyes to gently close and begin to bring your attention inward.
There is nowhere to be,
Nothing to do,
But rest.
As we begin,
Know that if you hear any sounds in your environment,
Whether close or far away,
There is no need to resist them.
Just allow them.
Let them become part of your relaxation,
Like waves in the distance.
Reminders that the world is still turning and you are safe within it.
Now bring your attention to your breath.
Not changing anything at first,
Just noticing.
Breathing in and breathing out.
A gentle wave flowing through you.
Now begin to slow your breath down.
Inhale slowly through your nose.
And exhale softly through your mouth.
Inhale.
Exhale.
With each breath your body relaxes a little more.
With each exhale a little more tension releases.
Let's bring some awareness to the body now.
Gently scan from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
Begin at your forehead let it soften.
Release any tension around your eyes.
Let your jaw unclench.
Your cheeks relax.
Soften your neck and shoulders.
Let them drop away from your ears.
Feel heaviness moving down your arms into your hands.
Let your fingers uncurl and rest.
Now your chest.
Rising and falling with every breath.
No effort.
Just rhythm.
Allow your belly to soften.
Your back release into the mattress.
Your hips grow heavy.
Your legs sinking deeper into the bed.
All the way down to your ankles,
Your feet,
Your toes.
Your whole body is safe and beginning to sleep.
Now imagine a gentle warm light beginning above your head like a soft moon glow.
It's calming,
Peaceful.
This light begins to slowly drift down your body over your forehead,
Your eyelids,
Soothing you as it goes.
Feel it moving down your chest,
Washing away the residue of the day.
Down your arms,
Your hands,
Into your core.
Calming every cell.
This warm light now moves down your hips and legs all the way to your toes.
You are now wrapped in this light,
A cocoon of safety and stillness.
Now let's invite in a gentle thought to carry into sleep.
I release today.
I trust in rest.
Tomorrow will take care of itself.
Let's repeat that quietly in your mind.
I release today.
I trust in rest.
Tomorrow will take care of itself.
Let these words soften inside you,
Drift around you.
No pressure,
No rush.
If thoughts come,
It's okay.
If sounds arise,
They are welcome.
Let everything flow around you like clouds passing in the night sky.
Now begin to imagine yourself waking up in the morning.
Peaceful,
Rested,
Light.
You open your eyes and the day greets you gently.
You feel clear,
Strong and ready.
Trust that your body knows how to restore itself.
That while you sleep,
Healing happens.
Clarity returns.
Energy renews.
Tonight,
You give yourself permission to fully let go.
So now,
Let go.
Let your breath become even slower,
Even softer.
Let yourself slip beneath the surface into a deep healing sleep.
You are safe.
You are loved.
You are whole.
And you are already beginning to rest.
Good night.
