Settle into a comfortable position now,

Let your body rest in the way it wants to,

There is nothing you need to decide tonight.

Begin by noticing your breath,

Simply noticing it come in,

And noticing it go out.

Now,

Gently breathe in through the nose,

Slow,

Unforced,

And softly breathe out through the mouth,

Longer,

Easier,

Again,

Breathing in calm,

Breathing out the weight of the day.

With every exhale,

Feel your body soften,

The shoulders relax,

The chest loosens,

The belly settles.

There is no need to use willpower here,

No need to resist or fight anything,

Rest is enough,

Let the breath return to its natural rhythm,

Easy,

Quiet,

Feel the surface beneath you supporting your body,

Holding you safely,

You are allowed to rest completely.

Thoughts may appear,

Memories may surface,

You do not need to follow them,

Imagine placing each thought down gently,

As if setting something aside for tomorrow,

Tonight is not for solving.

Your nervous system begins to settle,

The urge to reach for relief begins to soften,

Nothing is missing in this moment.

Notice how calm feels in the body,

Subtle,

Steady,

Your body knows how to find balance,

Your mind knows how to release old patterns,

Change does not require force,

Sleep begins to deepen now,

Quietly,

Old habits lose their urgency as you rest,

They fade into the background,

They no longer need attention,

You are not taking anything away tonight,

You are simply allowing something new,

Rest,

Clarity,

Ease,

Breathing slowly now,

Softly,

As sleep continues to deepen,

The mind becomes open,

Receptive,

Calm,

Nothing needs to be decided now,

Nothing needs to be fixed,

Sleep is doing the work,

And as you continue resting here,
