Hello my friend.
I'm so glad you're here tonight.
Make sure you've done everything you need to do so you don't need to do anything anymore.
Have a glass of water nearby if you want to,
Set your alarm for tomorrow,
Maybe jot down some last minute notes if you need to and then just get comfortable.
However that looks like to you right now,
Your body knows what to do to fall asleep and to stay asleep.
Just lie down,
Relax and allow yourself to be supported now.
It's your turn.
What would it look like and feel like to be just 5% more comfortable?
See if you can do that for yourself.
Feel the surface beneath you,
The surface holding you,
Feel the space holding you,
The night holding you.
Take a slow deep breath in and a long soft breath out and do that again in your own time.
Deep breath in and gently letting go.
There is nowhere else you need to be right now.
Nothing left to solve tonight.
This moment is enough,
You lying here is enough.
Let the day begin to move away from you.
Imagine the day slowly drifting backwards,
Maybe like a boat moving away from the shore.
Disappearing in the horizon.
Everything that happened today can drift away now.
Let it drift away until you can't feel it,
See it,
Remember it.
You have done enough,
You're allowed to stop.
Maybe imagine yourself on your timeline,
However that presents.
Behind you or next to you is your past and ahead of you or on the other side of you,
The future.
And right now you're lying peacefully in the center,
In the present.
Notice the threads connected to you.
Maybe some threads pulling towards tomorrow.
Wanting you to plan,
Think and prepare.
Decide that you don't need them tonight.
And one by one,
If there's more than one,
Imagine gently cutting those strings.
Cut those threads.
Melting away,
Disappearing in the distance.
You do not need to plan the future right now.
Now you might notice some threads connected to today and to your past.
Conversations,
Decisions.
A few moments,
Really.
Replaying in the distance.
You can release those too.
So softly and kindly now,
However that presents for you.
Cut those strings.
Nothing from today needs your attention anymore.
Nothing in the past deserves your attention and your energy right now.
Time stopped for you.
You are beyond the limits and the rules of time now.
Just breathing.
Just resting.
Just being.
Time stands still.
Nothing requires your attention.
You are safe to let go.
Now giving yourself permission to rest.
You might find night time difficult.
Your body's tired,
But your mind is still working.
If that happens tonight,
That's okay.
Nothing's gone wrong.
Your body already knows how to sleep.
Sleep is not something you can force.
Sleep is something you allow.
So right now,
Give yourself permission to rest.
Give your body permission to let go.
Give your mind permission to stop working.
Rest is safe.
Stillness is safe.
Doing nothing is safe.
Deep breath in.
You are not behind.
You're not missing anything.
The whole world can wait.
This is true self-care.
Deep breath in.
Repeat after me in your mind's eye if it feels good.
Allowing myself to restore.
I am allowing myself to stop.
I am allowing my nervous system to soften.
I am looking after myself right now.
Time stands still.
Your brain and body are preparing for sleep now.
As you lie here,
Something beautiful begins to happen inside your brain.
You might want to imagine gentle waves moving through your mind.
Quiet,
Steady rhythms.
This is your brain beginning its night work.
The restorative work.
Imagine soft,
Clear,
Clean fluids flowing through the brain.
Washing,
Restoring,
Resetting.
Like a calm tide cleaning the shore.
Every breath you take supports this process.
In and out.
Like the waves.
A gentle,
Steady,
Reliable rhythm.
Your body knows exactly what to do.
You don't need to help it.
You don't need to think your way into sleep.
In fact,
Thinking is the only thing that interrupts it.
So when thoughts appear,
Just notice them.
And come back to your anchor.
Maybe your breath.
Maybe the softness of your sheets.
Maybe the weight of your head on your pillow.
Maybe quiet words.
Time stands still.
Let that be your anchor for the night.
You are looking after your nervous system.
Imagine your nervous system now.
You don't need to understand it or do this perfectly.
Just imagine or sense it however it presents to you.
Perhaps like gentle light moving through the body.
Electric signals.
A network of energy.
Notice it slowing down now.
The signals becoming quieter.
Less urgency.
Less activation.
Your system realising there's nothing to respond to right now.
Nothing needing you.
Nothing chasing you.
Nothing demanding you.
And your body and nervous system recognising safety now.
You are safe.
Breathe in gently.
Breathe out slowly.
With every exhale,
The nervous system slows.
You don't need to keep track of your breath.
Just know that every time you exhale,
Your nervous system also relaxes more.
Your heart softens.
Your breath deepens.
Your muscles release.
You are safe to rest.
You are safe to sleep.
Sometimes the mind wants to finish things before sleep.
It wants to keep thinking.
If something feels unfinished right now,
You can gently tell yourself,
I've done everything I could today.
There's nothing more required of me tonight.
This is not the time to think.
There will be plenty of time for this tomorrow.
And if something truly needs remembering,
Imagine placing it on a piece of paper beside your bed,
Knowing it will be there tomorrow.
You don't need to hold it in your mind.
You're allowed to put everything down.
You're allowed to stop carrying things.
You're allowed to rest.
Now allow sleep to move through the body,
Starting at the top of your head,
Softening the forehead,
Eyes heavy,
Resting back,
Your jaw unclenched,
Your tongue relaxed at the bottom of your mouth,
Neck soft,
Feeling it release completely,
Shoulders dropping,
Releasing the weight of responsibility,
Arms heavy,
Hands loose,
Fingers resting,
Your breathing is slow and effortless,
Your heart is working quietly for you,
Your stomach is soft,
There's nothing to hold in,
Nothing to brace against,
Your hips sinking into the bed,
Your legs heavy,
Your knees soft,
Your feet relaxed,
Your toes relaxed,
Your whole body drifting towards sleep,
Heavy,
Safe,
You have come so far and tonight you chose to care for yourself,
You chose rest and your body and mind recognize this kindness.
Sleep is coming closer now and even if you're still awake,
Your body is already restoring,
Even resting quietly is healing.
Imagine waking tomorrow rested,
Clear,
Lighter,
Energized,
Your system fully reset,
Your mind refreshed,
Your body grateful,
Let the night take care of you.
And from here you don't need to listen closely anymore,
You can drift,
My voice will fade into the background,
Calm,
Your breathing slow and steady,
Your body heavy,
Your mind stands still,
Nothing to do,
Nowhere to go,
You are held by the night,
You are safe to sleep,
Sleep will come whenever it wants,
Just allow it and if you wake during the night,
Simply return to your anchor,
Time stands still,
You are restoring,
You are safe,
Nothing needs your attention right now,
You do not need to solve anything in the dark,
The night time is not for decisions,
Thinking and wait for morning,
You are safe to continue sleeping,
You don't need to try,
You are safe to rest,
Your system is restoring,
Nothing is required of me now,
I am regenerating,
My body heals,
Is productive,
I can drift in and out of sleep peacefully,
Your body is still resting,
Nothing needs your attention right now,
You do not need to solve anything,
The night time is not for decisions,
There is nothing to figure out,
Nothing to solve,
