Welcome. Tonight I'd like to offer a calming breath practice and positive sleep affirmations. To help you prepare for sleep. You'll have the sound of rhythmic ocean waves in the background. To lull you further into relaxation and sleep. You don't need to remember the affirmations or concentrate on them. Simply allow the words to drift through your awareness as you rest. So make yourself as comfortable as you can preparing for sleep. Let your body settle into the surface beneath you. Allow your eyes to close if they're not already. Breathe in fully. And exhale with a deep sigh. And one more time, Breathe in fully. Exhale with a deep sigh. Begin to notice your natural breathing. Sense your own rhythm. Like an ocean wave. Flowing in. And flowing out. And now begin to deepen the breath. Just lengthening the inhalation. And lengthening the exhalation. Allowing the breath to be slow and steady. And now we'll begin to make the inhale four counts and the exhale six counts. So inhale, Two, Three, Four. Exhale, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six. Inhale, Two, Three, Four. Exhale, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six. Continue at your own pace. Let yourself be more relaxed with each breath. Each exhale allowing you to let go. And surrender to gravity.
