Welcome to rest revolution life.
Empowering guilt free rest.
This NSDR or non-sleep deep rest practice is geared to regulate the nervous system.
You might think of your brain or your nervous system like a phone or computer.
We're going to close all the browsers and charge up a drained battery.
So take the next few moments to find the most comfortable resting position.
You could be lying down in your bed or a comfy couch.
Assure that you have as many blankets and pillows that could make you feel cozy and warm.
Ask yourself if there is any last minute adjustments you could take to get just 2% more comfortable.
You might close the eyes or cover them.
Begin to tune in to all the different sounds that your ears can listen to.
What are the most far away sounds?
Any sounds of this recording?
Could you begin to sense your body breathing itself?
Unclench the jaw and maybe you could release expression on the face.
You deserve rest.
So invite yourself to get a little more cozy and heavy into the surface you're resting on.
Let's take a deep inhale through the nose.
Open the mouth.
Take a little bit longer of an exhale.
Smooth inhale through the nose.
Long exhale through the mouth.
Twice more.
Let's set an intention for this practice.
You can repeat after me.
I am resting now and my body deserves deep rest.
I am resting now and my body deserves deep rest.
Quietly whisper this to yourself once again.
We will now begin to rotate our attention through our body.
Allowing the sensation of release and softness to touch each place that I name.
Bring your awareness to the top of your head.
Forehead.
All the wrinkles of the forehead smoothing out.
Tip of the nose.
Both eyes.
Both eyes heavy.
The ears.
The space in between the lips.
The inner walls of the cheeks.
Roof of the mouth.
The top lip and the bottom lip.
Chin.
Base of the skull.
Front of the throat.
Heart.
Left shoulder.
Left elbow.
Wrist.
Center of the palm.
Back of the hand.
The tips of your left fingers.
Left side of the waist.
Left hip.
Knee.
Ankle.
Top of the foot.
Sole of the foot.
All five toes.
Could you sense the entire left side of your body and the left side of your brain melting down into your support?
Bring your awareness back to the heart.
Right shoulder.
Right elbow.
Wrist.
Center of the palm.
Top of the hand.
All five fingertips.
Awareness at the right fingertips.
Right waist.
Hip.
Knee.
Ankle.
Top of the foot.
Sole of the foot.
And the tips of your toes.
Could you sense the whole right side of your body and the right side of your brain?
And now allowing your awareness to come back to the top of the head.
Moving it down to the heart.
Through the arms and the hands.
Moving down the trunk of the body.
Into the hips.
Down the legs.
And out through the feet.
So now your awareness could spread evenly throughout your whole body.
And maybe your awareness could even expand beyond the edges of your body as you continue to let go into rest.
Let go into rest.
There's nowhere that you have to be.
You deserve to sink down into the support.
Feel as if the sweetness of this rest practice could cradle you.
And as the brain starts to quiet down,
The body has a chance to remember how to realign and balance itself.
Healing is happening right now.
It's okay to let go.
Remembering,
I am resting now and my body deserves deep rest.
And now you can start to bring your awareness back to the sensation of your body breathing.
Deepen the breath.
Bring your awareness back into the room.
Back to the edges of your body.
As this NSDR practice is now complete,
Thank yourself for caring about your healing and taking the time for self-care.
