Begin by getting comfortable,
Letting your body settle into the surface beneath you.
Allow your eyes to close and take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose and gently exhale through your mouth.
Again breathing in and exhale releasing the day.
Let your body begin to soften,
Your shoulders dropping,
Your jaw unclenching,
Your forehead smoothing.
There is nothing you need to do right now,
Nowhere you need to be,
Just this moment,
Just this breath.
Bring your awareness to your breath,
Natural,
Effortless,
Rising and falling.
And with each exhale,
Feel yourself sinking deeper into a state of calm.
If your mind is busy,
That's okay,
You don't need to silence your thoughts,
Just let them pass.
Like clouds moving across the sky,
No attachment,
No judgement,
Just letting go.
Now imagine yourself in a peaceful place,
Maybe by the ocean,
Hearing the gentle rhythm of the waves.
Or somewhere in nature where everything feels still,
Safe and calm.
Take a moment to feel it.
With every breath your body becomes heavier,
Your whole body supported,
You are safe to rest.
Gently repeat in your mind,
I am,
Again I am,
There is nothing left to hold on to.
And now your body knows,
It's time,
Where thoughts soften,
And your body restores itself naturally.
And as you continue to breathe softly,
Just let go a little.
Sleep is coming,
Gently,
Naturally,
And you can allow yourself to fall into it whenever you're ready.
