As you snuggle up in bed,
Take a moment to feel the cosy sensation of the sheets or blankets embracing you,
Huddled up here in this safe space.
Even just lying here,
You are already resting your body,
Resting from the day.
And feel your mattress holding you up.
No matter how much you relax,
You know you will not fall through.
The bed will continue to hold you and support you.
So you can try now.
Try to surrender as much as you can and feel the support underneath your back.
And in this place of deeper surrender,
Take 3 cleansing breaths and on every exhale just releasing the day,
Letting it roll off your head.
And now visualise,
Imagine,
Sense or feel an energy ball right above your head.
An energy ball that is glowing with a very particular colour,
Your soothing colour for today.
Maybe it's one colour,
Maybe it's a mixture of colour,
There's no right or wrong.
And then allow this energy ball to shrink or expand to just the right size for you.
And now imagine that this energy ball begins to descend down through the top of your head,
Down through forehead,
Releasing,
Relaxing everything it touches,
Healing all that needs to heal.
Moving down through your eyebrows,
Relaxing the eyebrows,
The third eye,
That space between the brows and then moving down into your eyes.
Notice all those tiny eye muscles releasing,
Letting go.
Even your eyes sink deeper somehow into your eye sockets,
Relaxing,
Releasing and then down the energy ball,
Moving through nose and cheekbones,
Letting go fully and completely.
Down into your jaw,
Releasing,
Relaxing the jaw,
Even your teeth relax,
Lips and tongue relax,
Completely letting go,
The skin on your face releasing and then feel the energy ball going to the back of your head now as you feel the head sinking deeper into your pillow,
Relaxing,
Letting go and then down this energy ball glowing with your soothing colour moves down to the back of your neck,
Releasing vertebrae by vertebrae,
Creating space,
Expanding,
Allowing the spinal fluid to flow freely up and down your spine and then it moves to the front,
Into your throat,
Feel the energy ball releasing your thyroid gland,
Any tension from vocal folds opening up your throat,
Letting go and then down from the throat into your shoulders,
Releasing,
Relaxing the shoulders,
Melting away any responsibilities,
Allow them all to just drop right off and then down through the arms left and right,
Feel the energy ball with that beautiful colour swirling down through your arms,
Down into elbows,
Forearms,
Wrists,
Fingers,
The palms of your hands completely letting go and just notice how do your hands and arms relax right now,
Are they so relaxed that they begin to feel very very heavy as if sinking deeper into the mattress or are they so relaxed that they feel very light,
Almost weightless,
Perhaps like two feathers by your side and whether light or heavy they're so loose and relaxed and maybe you even begin to feel your hands getting slightly warmer,
Maybe there's even a slight tingling sensation in your hands and back through the arms,
The energy ball travels up now,
Up into your chest,
Feel it settling into your chest,
Beginning to release any tension from your heart space through your lungs,
Releasing and letting go and you begin to feel your chest expanding and opening up and as a result upper back relaxes sinking deeper into the mattress and there's a sense of opening all through the chest and upper back,
A sense of ease like you can somehow now breathe easy and with every inhale you can inhale more oxygen as your lungs expand,
Releasing,
Letting go of any heaviness,
Of any dense energy,
Any tension and then down the energy ball continues through your solar plexus,
Through your digestive system healing all that needs to heal,
Soothing,
Releasing,
Letting go,
Moving down through your abdomen,
Melting any remaining stress or anxiety,
You feel your abdominal muscles relax letting go and then deep through mid back,
Traveling down,
Feel,
Imagine that color in your lower back now,
Glowing through the lower back,
Relaxing any and all of those muscles and then to the front through your pelvis,
Through your reproductive system,
Letting away any tension,
Letting go fully and completely,
Feel it moving through your hips,
Opening up the hips,
Releasing and then through glutes,
Down,
Glowing,
Swirling through your thighs now,
Feel sense,
Imagine the energy ball with that beautiful color,
Your soothing color going deep through the thighs into your knees,
Releasing any and all tension completely letting go like this wonderful energetic massage down into calves and shins,
Relaxing down into your ankles,
Notice what it feels like to have your ankles be so relaxed,
Completely letting go and then down the energy ball moves through your feet into your toes,
The soles of the feet completely letting go,
Melting any and all tension away and now feel yourself glowing with your color from head to toe and it's expanding out through your skin,
Out and out and it's like this energy bubble all around you and you feel protected,
Safe and cozy within this light,
Within this color,
This energy and now imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase,
A staircase of 20 steps leading down to a door and you begin descending down the staircase,
Maybe you can picture it in your mind,
You can notice what type of staircase it is,
What it's made of and down you begin descending starting on your left foot at 20,
Down at 19 and as you go down you begin to feel somehow lighter and lighter going down 17,
16 and now you pause and here you are being called to leave behind all your worries and concerns right here at this step,
You can leave them behind and you can pick them back up later but just for now take them off perhaps like a heavy coat or maybe like these heavy stones from within you that you extract and you place down by your feet and as you now leave your worries and concerns behind you continue going down descending at 15,
14,
Feeling so much lighter already having left behind those worries and concerns at 13,
Down at 12,
Another step 11 and once again you stop here and at this step you are being called to leave behind all your rigid limiting beliefs about how things should have been,
How they must be,
Just for now shed them off perhaps once again like heavy piece of clothing or perhaps you extract something heavy from within that symbolizes to you right now your rigid limiting beliefs and you place them down by your feet on that step and you continue now going down at 10,
9,
Feeling even lighter somehow the sense of freedom 8,
7,
Down at 6 and at 5 you pause again and here you are being called to leave behind all projections and expectations of other people,
Projections about who they think you should be,
What you should be doing,
All their expectations that need to have to fit into someone's idea of life to fit into a box you leave that behind now notice how you take it off and you drop it at your feet and fear not if you wish you can pick it back up later but just for now you let it down and as you go down again so free and light at 4,
3,
2,
1 and as you take your next step you find yourself standing in a beautiful land the land of calm and as you look back the staircase disappears and as you immerse yourself in the land of calm,
Listen out for all the sounds and then smell the air what are all the soothing aromas around notice that with every inhale you feel calmer with this profound sense of peace it is taking over you breath by breath inhale by inhale and then look around and notice all the colours notice that here colours are so much more vibrant and heightened as you take a walk around feel the ground beneath your feet noticing what surface you're standing on is it sand is it silky smooth grass pebbles helps soil and as you keep walking through this land of calm you look at the sky you notice that the sun is setting leaving that fiery orange and pink trail can you notice a place here a place to rest perhaps it's a hammock tied between two trees or perhaps it's a patch of grass or a patch of flowers maybe lavender or bluebells and you are magnetised towards this resting place the closer you get the more you realise it's somehow designed exactly for your needs it's everything you love it's so comfortable and cosy as you settle in here and as you look to the sky the fiery hues are now turning into violet and the violets into a purple and the deep purple flowing into an indigo blue and then one by one the stars begin to sparkle shimmering through the night sky and you feel so safe so peaceful so protected as you snuggle up here maybe there's a blanket or a shawl and you cover yourself up and it's this wonderful feeling the sensation of wanting to drift off into a deep slumber nature all around you is quieting down the flowers the trees everything is resting now giving you permission to rest and you find yourself perhaps gently drifting off to sleep still inhaling lovely soothing aromas feeling a warm gentle breeze the temperature is just right not too hot not too cold and you drift off sleepy drifting deeper and deeper deeper and deeper releasing resting relaxing you you
