Begin by settling into bed.
Lay back and let your arms rest by your sides.
And allow your body to sink into the mattress.
Give yourself permission to let the day melt away.
Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in.
And a slow breath out.
Now imagine the sky above you.
Vast,
Dark,
Infinite.
It stretches endlessly,
Velvet and serene,
Scattered with stars glowing quietly in the night.
Each star sparkles with a soft pulse.
Gentle,
Slow,
Calming.
As you breathe in,
One star brightens.
As you breathe out,
It softens like a gentle blink of light.
Let your breath fall into rhythm with these twinkling lights.
Inhale and the light gently expands,
Filling the sky.
And exhale as it softens and fades like a sigh from the heavens.
With every breath in,
You draw in starlight,
Cool,
Calm and clear.
And with every breath out,
You release the day,
Its weight,
Its noise,
Its motion.
Breathe with the stars.
Breathe like the sky,
Vast and open.
Breathe like the night,
Soft and still.
Notice how your chest rises and falls,
Just like the constellations moving through the cosmos.
You are floating,
Calm and supported by the universe itself.
There's nowhere to go,
Nothing to do.
Only this.
Inhale with the stars and exhale with the stars.
Let yourself drift on this rhythm.
Let the twinkling sky hold you.
And let your mind become as quiet as the night.
You are safe.
You are still.
You are exactly where you are meant to be.
Sleep comes easily now.
And when you wake,
You will feel clear,
Rested and renewed.
Like starlight returning to the dawn.
Good night.
