Make yourself comfortable in your bed. Under the covers. With your head resting comfortably on your pillow. And when you're ready. Close your eyes. Take a comfortable breath in. And breathe out slowly. For the next few minutes. You can give yourself permission to become very still. Not because you have to. But because there is nowhere you need to go. The day is finished. And this part of the night belongs to you. Bring your attention to your forehead. And let it become smooth. The small muscles around your eyes can rest. Your cheeks can loosen. Your jaw can release. And your mouth can be comfortably at rest. Notice your neck. And let it relax. Your shoulders can settle into the position that feels most natural. Your upper arms can rest. Your elbows. Your forearms. Your hands. All becoming increasingly comfortable. Now notice your chest. And your stomach. Rising and falling with each breath. No need to change anything. Just breathing in your own rhythm. Let your back rest fully against the bed. Your hips can release any remaining effort. Your thighs can become relaxed. Your knees, Easy. Your lower legs at rest. Your ankles can loosen. Your feet can become completely comfortable. Take a moment to experience your whole body as it is now. Just resting here. You might hear a sound in the room. You might notice a thought. You might become aware of your breathing again. None of it requires a response. You can remain exactly as you are. Your attention may wander. There is no need to hold it in place. And now. With each easy breath. You can settle into an even more restful state. Deeper. Deeper still. And from here. You can stop making any effort to relax. The work is finished. Your body has found its position. Your eyes are closed. Your breathing has its own gentle rhythm. And the rest can happen without your help. This is where sleep can begin to take over. As wakefulness becomes less interesting. Your attention can become less precise. You may notice only the sound of a sentence. Without knowing what the sentence was. And then perhaps you notice nothing for a while. Until another word reaches you. So let the next few minutes belong to sleep. If a thought comes. Let it finish on its own. You don't have to continue it. Thoughts can become unfinished. Sentences can become incomplete. Those moments can become longer. And longer. Until sleep begins to fill in the spaces. You don't have to notice exactly when it happens. You may hear my voice. And then lose it. You may hear part of a sentence. And miss the rest. And eventually you may stop listening altogether. You can sleep while the music continues. And as you remain here. Comfortable. Undisturbed. The feeling of sleep can become more familiar. One thought. Then a little quiet. Another thought. And then less of it. And perhaps there are moments now when you're simply resting. Without following anything at all. The next moment can be even quieter. And the next. You may hear my voice again. Or you may not. You may hear part of a sentence. And then find yourself somewhere else. And then You may stop listening altogether. You can remain in this peaceful state. Letting sleep come closer in its own way. If you hear my voice again. You don't need to come back to it. Stay just as you are. Resting. Sleeping. And the less you listen. The softer the voice can become. And sleep can become all that remains. Do it now. Let the music continue. You can simply sleep. Sleep. And to drift gently. Into the rest of the night.
