Take a moment now and feel into your center.
Become aware of your breath as you complete each cycle of inhalation and exhalation.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Allow your breath to slow and deepen.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Notice how each breath completes the circle of life.
As you breathe,
Acknowledge your beautiful,
Wonderful self.
Gently close your eyes and become aware of what you are experiencing in your body right now.
Starting with the top of your head,
Do a scan from head to toe.
Simply allow yourself to be aware of being aware.
As you move your attention slowly down your body,
Sense what your body is telling you.
Now allow your body to sink deeper into the surface you are sitting or lying on.
Let that surface completely embrace you in total comfort.
You are safe here in this space.
With each breath,
Allow your mind to quiet and release any thoughts about your day's activities.
With each breath,
Allow the energy of your heart to expand.
There is only here,
There is only now.
Now in your imagination,
Picture a beautiful tall tree in the middle of the forest.
In your mind's eye,
See the roots extending down and reaching out into the earth in all directions.
Notice how the sturdy trunk supports the upper branches.
See the leaves,
Twigs and branches reaching out like arms to the sun and the breeze.
See them able to bend and move because they are supported by the sturdy trunk and the strong root system.
Witness the tree losing its leaves in the fall and renewing itself in the spring following the natural cycle of life.
It is the nature of the tree to be strong yet flexible and to move through a cycle of rest and rebirth.
Like the tree,
It is also the nature of your body to be strong yet flexible.
Like the tree,
It is your nature to have a similar cycle of rest and rebirth.
Today's activities are over now.
It's time to enter your cycle of rest and to allow your body's wisdom to heal,
Rejuvenate and revitalize your entire being.
Now continuing with your deep breathing,
Repeat the following affirmations.
My body is wise,
Strong and flexible.
My body supports me always and in all ways.
My body is wise,
Strong and flexible.
My body supports me always and in all ways.
My body supports me always and in all ways.

Nature is designed to bless and uplift all of its creations,
Including you.
Your natural state is to feel completely at home in your body.
If you ignore it or have thoughts about it that are critical,
Over time,
You will lose your sense of being at home in your body.
Because your body is wise,
It will send you a message to grab your attention.
It will let you know that you are out of alignment with your true nature.
It's important to understand that your body is always on your side,
So when you notice the message,
Begin by getting quiet.
Pay attention to your thoughts.
Was there a particular thought that preceded the message?
Thank your body for the message and move into a state of appreciation for all the things it does for you.
Continue this practice to bring you back home to your true nature.
Take a moment now and feel appreciation for the ways your body supports you.
Appreciate your lungs for breathing.
Appreciate your stomach and intestines for digesting and eliminating.
Appreciate your heart for beating.
Appreciate the flow of blood in your veins and arteries.
Appreciate your hands for all their capacities.
Appreciate your eyes for seeing,
Your ears for hearing.
Appreciate the way your body can experience the full range of feelings and emotions.
Appreciate all the ways your body is in harmony right now.
Allow your appreciation to expand until you feel it in your whole being.
From that state of appreciation for your wonderful body,
Repeat the following affirmations.
I am at home in my body.
My body is always on my side.
I am at home in my body.
My body is always on my side.
My body is always on my side.
My body is always on my side.

Your period of sleep each night activates a cycle of healing.
It rejuvenates every cell,
Every atom,
Every molecule,
Every organ system and function in your body.
Picture the tree in the forest surrounded completely by other trees while underneath the ground the roots all intertwine with each other.
They cannot be separate.
Each individual tree is unique and yet it's an integral part of the life of a forest.
You are an individual conscious being yet you are essential in the field of infinite consciousness.
You cannot be separate from the field either waking or sleeping.
The time you will spend now in sleep will rest your body and mind in that infinite field and it will ready you for a new day.
You will sleep throughout the whole night and awake in the morning refreshed and ready for what the new day brings.
A peaceful sleep awaits you now.
You will sleep throughout the whole night.
