Come,
Dear one.
You've arrived here seeking rest,
Seeking ease.
Tonight we will gently step away from the swirling thoughts,
The hurried energy,
And into a place of stillness.
A place where you can simply be.
Close your eyes now and take a deep breath in.
Let it fill every corner of your being.
Hold it there and exhale slowly,
Letting the day fall away like leaves carried by the wind.
Feel the rise and fall of your breath,
Your anchor in this moment.
Inhale deeply again,
This time a little slower,
Feeling the cool air move in.
Pause and exhale,
Releasing tension from your shoulders,
Your chest,
Your mind.
With each breath you are softening,
Surrendering to the quiet.
Your mind may be restless,
Jumping from thought to thought.
That's okay.
You do not need to stop it.
Imagine these thoughts as tiny boats on a wide,
Endless ocean.
See them float across the surface,
Carried gently by the waves.
You are the ocean,
Deep and still,
Watching the boats come and go.
Breathe in again,
Deeply.
Hold and let it out slowly as if you are sighing into the night.
Let your body sink deeper into the surface beneath you.
Feel the weight of your arms,
Your legs,
Your head.
The earth is holding you,
Steady and secure.
If your thoughts pull you away,
Gently bring yourself back to your health.
It is always here,
Waiting for you,
Ready to guide you back to this calm.
Inhale peace.
Exhale tension.
Inhale stillness.
Exhale any need to rush,
To do,
To solve.
Notice how your body begins to unwind.
Your jaw softens.
Your shoulders drop.
The muscles in your hands and feet loosen,
Releasing the tightness that held all day.
With each exhale,
You are melting further into this deep rest.
Let go of everything you've carried.
You do not need it tonight.
This is your time,
Your space to surrender,
To rest,
To be cradled by the quiet.
Stay here,
Dear one,
Resting in this stillness.
With your heart and mind open,
Prepare yourself now to receive the affirmations that will follow.
