Welcome,
Dear one.
As you prepare to rest tonight,
I invite you to let this time become a sanctuary,
A soft refuge for your heart.
You are here,
Safe and healthy,
In the quiet embrace of this moment.
Gently close your eyes and bring your attention inward.
Feel the wave of your body resting against the surface beneath you,
Cradling you like the earth cradles the sea.
Let's begin with your breath.
Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose,
Pulling in the soft threads of calm,
And exhale through your mouth,
Releasing tension,
Like a gentle wind sweeping through the trees.
Again,
Breathe in deeply,
Feel your belly expand,
Your chest rise,
And your heart soften.
Exhale slowly,
Allowing your shoulders to drop,
Your jaw to loosen,
And your body to let go.
Let your breath guide you,
Wave upon wave,
Until you find yourself flowing in its rhythm.
Each inhale gathers the scattered fragment of your day.
Each exhale unravels the story you no longer need to carry.
You are not here to fix or change,
You are here to be exactly as you are in this standing now.
Now,
With each breath,
I invite you to a journey a little deeper.
Imagine the breath as a golden thread,
Weaving its way through your body.
It moves through your chest,
Unwinding knots,
Opening spaces.
It travels down to your belly,
Releasing what feels heavy.
It spirals into your heart,
Illuminating the tender places you have hidden away.
Let it all be touched by light,
Without judgment,
Without resistance.
Breathe.
If memories arise,
Let them come and go,
Like clouds drifting across the sky.
You are not your past,
You are not your pain,
You are the quiet observer,
The steady presence beneath it all.
Whisper gently to yourself,
I am here,
I am safe,
I am whole.
Feel your body softening into the stillness.
Each breath a balm,
Each exhale a release.
Let yourself rest in the truth that you are enough,
Always have been,
Always will be.
This is your time to heal,
To allow the pieces of you to reunite in peace.
And now,
Dear one,
As you drift even deeper,
Prepare to welcome the words of love and affirmation.
Let them settle in your heart,
Like seeds planted in the fertile soil of your rest.
Breathe in,
Exhale,
And allow yourself to receive,
I am worthy of love and healing.
I release the pain of my past and embrace the peace of the present.
I am safe,
Here and now.
My childhood experiences do not define me.
I forgive myself and allow myself to move forward.
I am whole just as I am.
I deserve to rest and heal.
My body and mind are healing every day.
I am open to the love and support around me.
I trust myself to navigate life with strength and grace.
I am not my past,
I am my present and my future.
I let go of fear and welcome peace into my life.
I honor my journey and the progress I have made.
I am resilient and I can overcome challenges.
I trust the process of healing even when it feels slow.
I am surrounded by love within and around me.
I am enough just as I am.
I choose to nurture and care for myself.
My heart is open to love and kindness.
I release the weight of shame and guilt.
I am free to rewrite my story.
I am deserving of all the good that life has to offer.
I embrace my inner child with love and compassion.
I am courageous in facing my emotions.
I let go of what no longer serves me.
I am proud of how far I have come.
I am grateful for this moment of peace.
I trust the wisdom of my heart and soul.
I allow joy to flow freely into my life.
I honor the strength it has taken to get here.
