It’s Okay To Rest: A Song For Letting Go
by Niamh O'Shea
A blend of song and spoken words inviting you to pause and release some of the weight you’ve been holding. With affirmations and calm rhythm, this piece reminds you that you do not have to keep carrying everything alone. Let it be a small refuge where the body softens and the heart finds space again. A moment of rest and return.
Transcript
Take a slow breath in,
And let it go Let your shoulders drop,
Let your body soften And feel the gentle quiet of your own breath It's okay to rest,
To let go of the weight you've been holding To pause for a moment,
Just to feel your own heart beating In and out,
You don't have to keep going right now You don't have to hold it all together Let these words be a soft permission A quiet breath of release You've carried so much more than anyone can see It's okay to set some of it down now To feel the gentle strength of your own stillness This isn't about giving up This isn't about losing who you are It's about remembering that even the strongest branches Need the quiet of the dawn,
The hush of the earth Let your breath be a gentle wave A rhythm that asks nothing of you,
But to simply be here It's okay to rest,
To let the quiet of your bones A soft touch to the parts of you that ache You don't have to fix or force Let this breath be a small kindness Let it go,
Let these words settle in your chest A gentle echo

I have no words. That was simply breathtaking. Music is a language that speaks directly to my soul. The sound, melody, rhythm, and vocals just seem to reach a place within myself that spoken word alone cannot. And this subject in particular hits home for me. I've not been able to sleep well (if at all) because I've felt like I don't deserve that rest until I'm more "caught up" in life. Consciously, I know this isn't true. Yet, it's a constant battle. I'm just really grateful to have found this today and am hoping to implement it daily - reminding me that it's okay to let go sometimes. Thank you so so much for sharing your beautiful talents and gifts with the world. 🙏🩷✨️
