Welcome. Perhaps it's been a long day and you're finally here in bed. Maybe there's still a little of the day running through your mind. But you don't need to think about any of that right now. Your day is done. And you've done enough. For today. Begin by noticing the bed beneath you supporting your body. Perhaps you can feel the pillow beneath your head. And the covers around you. Gently. Hugging you. You don't need to hold yourself up anymore. The bed can do that for you. While you simply allow yourself. To rest. Becoming aware of your breath. As it naturally moves in. And do. One easy breath. Then another. Each time you breathe out. Imagine letting a little more of the day Soften. You've done enough today. And write down. Your only job. Is to rest. If thoughts come. Let them be there. But in the background. You don't need to listen to them. For now. You can simply rest. And perhaps you can imagine yourself. Floating gently. On a soft cloud beneath a quiet night sky. Being carried. Gently. Effortlessly. While the night. . . Becomes quieter around you. You've done enough. And now you can rest.
