As you listen allow the body to rest just as it is.
There is nothing you need to do.
Nothing you need to change.
Simply listen and let rest come to you naturally.
Begin by arriving exactly where you are.
There is nothing you need to correct.
Nothing you need to align.
This moment is already sufficient.
The day has been lived.
The night has arrived.
You are allowed to rest now.
Allow the body to lie exactly as it is.
No need to shift.
No need to adjust.
Notice the surface beneath you.
How it supports your body evenly.
You are being held.
Quietly.
Steadily.
There is no need to manage your energy.
No need to guide it.
If the eyes are open,
They may soften.
If the eyes are closed,
They may rest gently.
Sounds may exist around you.
Some near.
Some far away.
They do not disturb balance.
They can pass through without pulling you outward.
If you feel unsettled,
Or slightly restless,
Or simply not at ease,
All of this is allowed.
You are not here to fix imbalance.
You are here to allow settling.
As these words reach you,
The system begins to recognize that it is safe to return to stillness.
Nothing needs to move.
Nothing needs to change.
You are allowed to be still.
Now notice the natural weight of your body.
Not creating heaviness.
Simply sensing what is already present.
The head resting.
The skull supported.
Allow the head to feel heavy.
Gently settling downward.
The scalp softens.
The forehead smooth.
The space behind the eyes grows quiet.
Eyes resting deeply.
No effort behind them.
The jaw releases.
Teeth resting apart.
The tongue soft.
The throat open.
The shoulders gently received by gravity.
No need to relax them.
Just allowing them to settle.
Arms resting.
Hands loose.
Fingers uncurl.
Nothing to hold.
The chest moving gently with the breath.
Breathing is happening on its own.
No guidance needed.
With each natural exhale,
The body settles.
The belly softens.
The hips release.
The legs heavy.
The feet warm.
If there was agitation,
Notice how it begins to spread out.
Not pushed away.
Simply dispersing.
The whole body resting as one feel.
Nothing moving faster than it needs to.
Now allow awareness to soften.
Not focusing.
Not directing.
Simply resting.
Within the body,
There is a natural intelligence.
It knows how to return to balance.
You do not need to guide this.
You do not need to understand it.
As the body rests,
Subtle restlessness settles.
Gently.
Without force.
Sensations may shift.
Warmth.
Softness.
Evenness.
Or nothing at all.
That too is balance.
Thoughts may arise.
They do not disturb settling.
They move like quiet current.
Present.
But not pulling.
Underneath thought,
There is steadiness.
Evenness.
Being held.
As effort withdraws,
The system regulates itself.
Energy spreads evenly.
Not rising.
Not sinking.
Just settling.
The body feels more whole.
More contained.
The nervous system no longer adjusts.
You are not required to stay aware.
If attention drifts,
That is balance deepening.
If sleep approaches,
You may allow it.
The words slow now.
The spaces grow longer.
Breath becomes quiet.
The body deeply heavy.
Perfectly still.
No need to move.
No need to adjust.
Awareness becomes diffuse.
No edges.
Just rest.
Even.
Nothing needs to flow.
Everything is already balanced.
There is nothing more you need to hear.
Nothing more you need to do.
You may remain here.
Or drift into sleep.
Both are natural.
The words fade now.
Silence remains.
Holding you.
Resting you.
