Hi,

It's me,

Your younger self.

I'm so glad to be here with you.

I just remembered something fun.

Remember the joyful summer afternoon?

Running barefoot in the grass?

The sun warm on your arms?

Or that rejuvenating walk in autumn?

The air crisp,

Leaves crunching under your shoes,

Cheeks glowing.

Let's take a breath and remember what that felt like.

Whom were you with?

Or maybe you were on your own?

What did you see?

The colors,

The light,

The sky.

Was there a laugh?

A song,

A whisper?

Or just a quiet smile?

Give yourself some time to call to mind a moment that brought you joy and ease,

Maybe playfulness.

Let yourself remember the surroundings,

Colors,

Sounds.

The temperature of the air.

And take time to notice how the joyful moment lives in your body.

Joy doesn't have to be loud.

It can be a tiny spark,

Like a small light in your chest.

Or a warm hum in your belly.

It can be a tickle on your tongue and remembering the smell of your favorite food.

Or a melting spaciousness in your body,

Calling to mind how it felt to be hugged.

Just stay with these sensations for a moment.

Continuing to breathe softly in.

And now let's find a moment from this day or this week that brings you joy and ease.

It could have been a simple moment,

Like tasting your morning coffee or taking a quick walk during lunchtime and feeling that you're alive.

And again,

Noticing how this feels in your body.

Maybe some tension is loosening,

Tightness releasing.

Perhaps there's even a sense of warmth or space in parts of your body.

Maybe a sense of a gentle golden glow.

Now let that soft glow,

Like a lantern,

Stay with you.

As you rest,

Its warmth may be hugging you,

Holding you.

You don't have to chase joy,

Just let it sit beside you tonight.

And remember,

This bedtime meditation is just one in a series.

Rest now,

I'll be close.

Good night.
