Begin by getting into a position that feels most comfortable to you.
Let your body settle.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and,
With a exhale,
Closing your eyes,
Bringing your attention into your body,
Softening your forehead,
Relaxing the area around your eyes,
Unclenching your jaw,
Noticing if your shoulders have been holding anything and allowing them to drop a little,
Allowing your chest to be open,
Softening your belly,
Feel your arms and legs becoming heavier and heavier.
You don't need to hold your body anymore.
Let the surface beneath you hold you completely.
In a moment,
I am going to share a set of affirmations with you.
These affirmations are designed to help you drift into a peaceful and relaxing sleep.
I will repeat each affirmation two times.
The first time,
Simply listen and allow the words to land gently.
The second time,
If you feel called,
You may repeat the affirmation after me,
Either in your mind or out loud.
There is no right or wrong way to do this.
Just follow what feels most comforting for you.
Let's begin.
Your body feels heavy,
And now if you feel called,
Repeat after me.
My body feels heavy and relaxed.
You are allowed to rest now.
I am allowed to rest now.
Nothing is required of you in this moment.
Nothing is required of me in this moment.
I can release the weight of the day.
I can release the weight of the day.
Everything can wait for you until the next morning.
Everything can wait for me until the next morning.
Your nervous system is easing little by little.
Your nervous system is easing little by little.
Your mind is spacious and quiet.
Your body knows how to rest.
My body knows how to rest.
Your body welcomes rest.
My body welcomes rest.
Held by the quiet of the night.
Your bed wraps you in comfort.
My bed wraps me in comfort.
To fully relax.
To fully relax.
Sleep comes naturally to you.
Sleep comes naturally to me.
You are easing into deep rest.
I am easing into deep rest.
You are beginning to surrender to sleep.
Surrender to sleep.
Your dreams feel calm and safe.
My dreams feel calm and safe.
You are resting deeply.
Resting deeply.
Your body is repairing itself as you rest.
My body is repairing itself as I rest.
Your energy is being replenished.
My energy is being replenished.
You sleep peacefully through the night.
You are allowed to stay asleep as long as you need.
Allowed to stay asleep as long as I need.
You did great.
Now allow yourself to relax even more.
From this point on,
You don't need to repeat the affirmations after me.
Simply let them sink deeper within you.
Your mind has now become familiar with these phrases and familiarity helps your subconscious feel safe.
For the rest of the night,
I will continue repeating the same soothing affirmations.
All you need to do is rest back.
Let the sound keep you company as you drift deeper and further into a state of deep sleep.
Your body feels heavy and you are allowed to rest now.
Nothing is required of you in this moment.
You can release the weight of the day.
Everything can wait until the next morning.

Good night,
Dear one.
