Hello and welcome.
If you're here,
Chances are your mind is still going.
Till replaying.
Still planning.
Still running through the list of things said and unsaid.
Done and undone.
You don't need to stop that right now.
You don't need to force anything.
Just come as you are.
Find a comfortable position.
Lying down is perfectly fine.
Let your arms fall naturally by your sides.
Let your legs uncross if they are crossed.
And gently.
Let your eyes close.
Take a deep breath in.
Slowly.
Then breathe out even more slowly.
Again.
In through the nose.
And out through the mouth.
Like a long quiet sigh.
One more time.
Ready?
And release everything you don't need right now.
Notice that your body already knows how to rest,
Even when your mind doesn't.
Your heart is beating without effort.
Your lungs are breathing without instruction.
Some part of you,
A deep quiet part,
Has never stopped being at peace.
We are going to find our way back to that part tonight.
I want you to imagine your thoughts as cars passing on a road outside your window.
You're not in the cars.
You are inside,
Warm.
Watching from a distance.
A thought comes.
Did I reply to that message?
The need passes.
When other comes,
What if tomorrow goes wrong?
Any posses too.
You don't need to chase them.
You don't need to stop them.
You are the one watching,
Not the traffic.
Bring your attention to your body.
Starting at the top of your head.
Various cups of 10.
Your forehead smoothly.
The space between your eyebrows release.
Your eyes.
Resting behind closed lids.
Good job.
Let it drop just slightly.
Your turn.
Soften your mouth.
Your neck and shoulders.
Let them melt downward,
Away from your ears.
Your chest.
With each exhale,
Feel it sink a little deeper into stillness.
Your belly.
Rising and falling.
Rising and falling.
Your hands.
KBN1.
Your fingers loose.
Your hips,
Your thighs,
Your knees,
All releasing into the surface beneath you.
Your calves,
Your ankles,
The soles of your feet.
Let them go.
Your whole body.
Heavy now?
Out.
Safe.
There is nothing you need to solve right now.
The night will pass.
Tomorrow will come and you will meet it,
But not yet.
Right now,
The only thing asked of you is this breath,
And this one,
And this.
Stay here as long as you need.
If sleep comes,
Let it come.
Thor's written,
Let them pass like clouds,
Without judgement,
Without urgency.
You have done enough today.
You are enough.
Rest now.
You have gone deep.
Good night.
