Transcript

Welcome.

Take a moment to get comfortable and allow your body to settle.

Take a slow,

Deep breath in and exhale gently.

Let your eyes soften or close.

Begin by imagining the entire workday,

Emails,

Meetings,

Conversations,

Gently fading into the background.

Nothing needs your attention now.

You have done enough.

You are enough.

Gently inhale for four,

Hold for two,

Exhale for six.

Again,

Inhale,

Exhale,

Feel your shoulders drop and your jaw release.

Bring awareness to the top of your head.

Let a wave of relaxation move down your forehead,

Your cheeks,

Your neck,

Down your shoulders and arms.

Feel your chest soften,

Your abdomen loosen,

Your legs grow heavy.

Picture a quiet space,

Maybe a peaceful room,

A gentle beach or a warm,

Light space.

Here you are safe.

Here you can let go.

Repeat silently.

I release the day.

I am allowed to rest.

Let your breath become soft and natural.

Feel your whole body sinking into comfort.

If thoughts arise,

Let them drift away like clouds.

You are supported.

You are safe.

You are ready for sleep.

Allow yourself to gently drift into deep,

Peaceful rest.

Namaskaram.
