It's often hard to fall asleep at night because when the body settles and stops moving,
The mind wakes up and begins to think,
Either analyzing the day's events or worrying about the next day or upcoming events.
This is all very normal.
This practice is not about.
Fixing that or suppressing that urge for the mind to wander.
But instead,
These affirmations are designed to give your mind something to settle on.
To remind yourself.
That it is time for rest.
And just as we have a rhythm of activity and doing.
We also have a rhythm of rest.
That rest is essential for resetting the body,
For integrating the day's events.
So let these affirmations be the practice that you return to nightly.
To allow your mind permission to settle.
As you settle into your cozy space,
Allow your head to rest easy,
Feeling the weight of your body supported fully by the surface that it's resting on.
Allow your eyes to drift downward.
Closing gently.
And settling into their place for the evening.
In your own mind,
Repeating these phrases.
As your body unwinds,
As your mind settles.
And you drift towards sleep.
I would invite you to match each phrase with either the in-breath or the out-breath.
I am calm.
I am relaxed.
My mind is at ease.
I fall asleep quickly and easily and sleep soundly through the night.
I wake only in the morning,
Feeling refreshed,
Energized,
And ready to go.
I am calm.

And ready to go.
