This is your time.
You have earned it.
As you lay,
Recline,
Clear your mind,
All of it,
We create a safe distance,
Space,
To allow in the ability to breathe better,
More fluid,
Deeper and restorative.
This gentle wave of airflow sweeps the clutter accumulated from today's experience or residual from yesterday.
Relax your limbs and appendages.
Let them sink into the mattress.
Feel the wake of your body and head cradled by the bedding,
Dropping into that timeless haven of sleep.
All the work,
Worry,
Who's,
Why's,
Where's,
When's,
If's,
And what's dissolve.
The how's disintegrate.
The pain is paused and put away.
Emotional,
Physical,
Soulful,
Intellectual.
The wonders of sleep will come in and do their service.
This most intriguing facet of life,
This therapy,
This healing,
This strengthening,
This gateway into the liberating,
The shapeless.
Feel your breath trailing into your body and blowing out into the ether.
Rest your legs,
Eyes,
Mollified from the overstimulation.
The rapid,
Simultaneous movement from one side to another,
Focusing on a fixed point is known as a saccade.
About two to three saccades take place per second,
Leaving 10 million visual captures per day.
10 million.
Add the 60 to 80 thousand thoughts per day.
20,
000 breaths per day and counting.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
100,
000 heartbeats per day.
35,
000 decisions per day.
What an exceptional mechanism we are.
This rest is needed,
Deserved.
Feel yourself melting into the great expanse of washing away that intel,
Those maxed-out neurons,
That vital and industrious digestive system,
Lymphatic,
Immune,
Muscular,
Respiratory,
And circulatory.
Breathe in,
Then out long and disperse all of that residue.
Know that when you nod off,
The cleansing will continue.
You will be guarded.
You will be safe.
You will be held.
You will be given full access to escape from the body,
The brain,
The chatter,
The litter,
The gossip,
The pressures,
The ailments,
The confusion,
And indecision,
The discord,
Disparity,
And pain,
Distance,
Disparate pieces,
And unfinished business,
Unresolved issues,
Relational strife,
Partnered misunderstanding,
Feelings missing of loved ones,
Heaviness and states of resent,
Remorse,
And hurtful reactive responses.
We will soothe this now.
Smooth these sharp edges and soften the effect as you allow your diaphragm to fill with oxygen and pick up on the rise and fall of your belly,
Your chest,
And throughout the thoracic region.
Feel everything slowing down,
Warm,
And pulsing,
Contracting,
And expanding.
You lay in your cocoon state.
Your chrysalis in this elevated rhythmic motion.
Recharge.
There is no beginning and end.
Only a continuum of energy.
You are in your rest rotation,
Your moment to receive this bounty,
This gift,
This allowance,
This momentary erasure,
This slate wiped white,
This system rebooted,
This canvas clear and primed for the day ahead.
Hold space for what awaits when you wait.
Set aside any apprehension or preoccupation about tomorrow,
Like bags tucked away in cubby holes or digital lockers upon entering these unique transportation hubs.
We are going to travel light,
Ultra light.
You need to bring nothing on this journey,
Save with a calming breath currently interacting with you.
This beautiful and divine setting,
This supreme grounding before liftoff,
This ceremonial preparation prior to leaving your physical construct,
This wondrous passing from one realm into another,
An indigenous bedtime story for the weary and worn,
Folklore and fables,
Legends and lessons swimming in that embryonic sleep cycle,
Developing new pathways,
Paving the entrance,
Gleaming,
Glowing,
Equipped for newly activated recognitions of your yielding over to the process to part from the previous,
Enter the unknown,
The in-between,
Bardot,
REM,
N1,
N2,
N3,
The subconscious,
Hypnagogic and hypnopompic transcendence on your tempo your inner clock your perfectly kept technology your Omega,
