Good evening my friend.
This practice is designed to be done right before bed.
Either sitting up or snuggled comfortably under the covers.
It is a perfect companion to the morning practice to help you embody your desired state of being and create the life you want.
So wherever you are,
Let's settle in.
Take a couple of slower,
Deeper breaths.
Exhaling the noise of the day.
Feel the support of the surface beneath you,
Holding you.
Allow your body to begin softening.
And cleanse your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
Let your hands rest heavy.
Imagine the day slowly dimming behind you,
Like the sun setting on the horizon.
The conversations,
The activities,
The thinking,
The worries,
Let them all fade out.
You do not need to carry them with you.
Now picture yourself entering a peaceful space.
Maybe that's a quiet beach forest at sunset.
A warm burrow.
A room filled with soft pillows and candlelight.
Whatever your peaceful place,
I invite you to notice the details.
The colors,
The sounds,
The smells,
The stillness.
Feel the energy of this space around you now.
And now imagine another version of yourself approaching.
This version of you feels calm and clear.
Secure,
Connected,
Grounded.
At ease.
Notice how naturally they embody this energy.
How they watch.
How they breathe,
How they carry themselves.
As they come closer,
Imagine them reaching out their hands to you.
Gently taking your hands in theirs.
And watch as they begin transferring this feeling into you,
Like how one flame can ignite another.
Watch this warmth,
This light,
This resonant energy start to move through your chest and heart.
Through your stomach.
Your mind.
Filling your entire body.
Now imagine a small moment from your desired future.
Maybe you laughing easily,
Resting deeply.
Expanding your strength.
Feeling connected to life,
Trusting yourself more fully.
Allow the feeling of this reality to grow stronger,
Brighter,
Warmer.
Seeing and experiencing it now in full technicolor.
Breathing deeply in.
And out.
As you savor this feeling.
Now choose one word that represents this desired state.
Maybe it's peace,
Freedom,
Trust.
Whatever that word is,
Repeat it silently to yourself three times.
And imagine anchoring this feeling deeply into your subconscious as you sleep tonight.
Your mind and body are learning this new emotional reality.
Learning that this state is safe.
Learning this state is possible.
Breathing softly,
Feeling the warmth and support underneath you.
Feeling your body becoming heavier.
Calmer.
Quieter.
And when you're ready,
Gently drift into rest.
Sweet dreams,
My friend.
And I'll see you tomorrow.
