Good evening.

Before we begin,

Please get comfortable in a place where you can allow yourself to gently fall asleep during meditation.

Make sure all your tasks for the evening are complete and that you don't need to get back up to turn this off.

You do not need to listen all the way through.

My wish for you is to help guide your mind into a restful place of peace and surrender.

During this meditation,

My wish for you is that you set aside the worries of your day and the suffering of always thinking of the past or the future.

No matter what's going on,

It is okay to take this sacred moment here and now for yourself.

In order to give your body the rest it needs to be at its peak performance tomorrow.

The Buddha tells us our bodies are an excellent vessel rare to be found,

Yet rest,

The very thing that solves many of our problems and heals our bodies,

Is the thing we sacrifice first.

Today we recommit to recharging ourselves through restful peace and tranquility.

Allow your breathing to be natural.

Bring your attention to your head.

Release any tension in the face.

Soften your eyes and relax your jaw.

Give thanks for the work they have accomplished today in helping you see and communicate.

Breathe in and let go.

Relax your neck and shoulders and thank them for holding up your head.

Breathe in and let go.

Feeling the rise and fall of the chest and stomach,

With each breath soften your belly with each exhalation.

Breathe in and let go.

Breathe in and let go.

This is your time to recharge your mind and body.

This is the space to be at total ease.

Be grateful for this time as you breathe in and let go.

Bringing your attention all the way down through the body,

Allow your body to be totally supported by your bed and pillows.

Feel the pressure and density of being awake and upright fall away and let your body fully surrender.

Breathe in and let go.

Breathe in and let go.

Your worries no longer exist.

Your struggles are no longer your struggles.

Be in the peace you have created and breathe deeply.

Surrender,

Breathe in and let go.

Do not investigate how you are feeling for no right or wrong exists here.

Just breathe in and let go.

Surrender to the silence and peace and deep relaxation you feel.

Nothing exists but this moment.

Breathe in deeply,

Breathe out slowly.

You are beautiful.

Breathe in and let go.

You are beautiful.

Your heart is beautiful.

And you are a joyful beacon of light on this earth.

Breathe in and let go.

Breathe in and let go.

With each breath be grateful for the air.

With each release be grateful for its return.

Breathe in and let go.

You are beautiful.

This moment is beautiful and all is well.

Allow yourself to fall away.

Let your thoughts go.

Breathe in deeply and breathe out slowly.

You are love.

Be friendly to your experience.

Don't stay awake if your body is falling asleep.

Let it go.

Let your mind go.

Of course if your mind wanders try not to take it personally.

Just smile deep inside.

Be friendly to your experience.

Don't stay awake if your body is falling asleep.

Let it go.

Let your mind go.

If your mind wanders try not to take it personally.

Just smile deep inside at the amazing opportunity of being alive.

Breathe in and let go.

Breathe in and let go.

As you observe the rising and passing of thoughts,

Notice how they always depart.

Begin to trust that no matter what your struggle is,

On the other side is ease,

Joy and love.

Breathe in and let go.

You were designed to love.

You are love.

We all are love.

Breathe in and let go.

You are well.

You are happy.

You are peaceful.

You are perfect in every way.

Breathe in and let go.

Now let your mind go.

When we set our burdens aside,

Even for a short time,

We often never pick them back up again.

What's heavy at night is light in the morning.

Trust that everything you need is within you.

Let go.

Let go.

Let go.

Www.

Mooji.

I do wish there had been more stretches without speaking, but that is my own personal preference. That aside, this was a lovely meditation for transitioning into bed for the night.
