Begin by getting comfortable in your bed.
Let your body settle naturally without effort.
There is nowhere you need to go and nothing you need to do.
Gently close your eyes.
Take a slow breath in through your nose and exhale softly through your mouth.
Again,
Breathing in and out.
With each breath,
Allow the day to fade just a little more.
Now bring your attention to the top of your head.
Imagine a warm,
Soothing sensation spreading there,
Relaxing your scalp,
Your forehead,
And your temples.
Let your eyebrows soften.
Your eyes rest heavily in their sockets.
Your cheeks,
Jaw,
And tongue loosen completely.
If your lips part slightly,
That's perfectly okay.
Allow this feeling of relaxation to flow down into your neck and shoulders.
Release any tension you've been carrying.
Your shoulders gently melt away from your ears.
Now your arms,
Your upper arms feel warm and heavy.
Your elbows relax.
Your forearms,
Wrists,
Hands,
And fingers soften and rest.
Feel your chest rise and fall naturally.
Your breathing is effortless now.
Your heart beats calmly,
Steadily,
Safely.
Let this calm spread into your belly.
Your stomach softens.
There is no need to hold anything in.
Now your lower back and hips relax,
Sinking comfortably into the bed.
Any tightness releases without effort.
Your thighs grow heavy.
Your knees soften.
Your calves relax.
And your feet become warm and loose.
Your entire body is now deeply relaxed,
Supported,
And safe.
Imagine yourself lying beneath a peaceful night sky.
The air is calm.
The world is quiet.
Everything feels slow and still.
If thoughts arise,
That's okay.
You don't need to be afraid.
You don't need to be afraid to follow them.
Simply notice them and let them drift away like clouds passing through the night.
With every breath out,
You sink deeper into rest,
Deeper into comfort,
Deeper into sleep.
You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to let go.
Nothing is required of you right now.
Stay here for as long as you like,
Loading gently,
Breathing softly,
Drifting naturally into sleep.
And when sleep comes,
Let it carry you peacefully through the night.
