Good evening.
It's time for us to get ready for bed.
We're going to prepare our minds and our bodies and also our energy to sleep.
In part through cleansing whatever has cropped up during the day and really preparing our systems to let go into restorative restful sleep.
Begin by getting settled.
You may have already done this,
But take some time to fission around or just make sure you're actually comfortable.
If it's been a little bit more of a stressful day or if you're feeling a little bit higher strung,
If you're feeling a little bit more intensity in your body,
You may want to squeeze and release.
You can squeeze your hands into fists.
You can squeeze your fists.
You can squeeze your whole body in tension.
Then on an exhale,
You can let go.
You're welcome to do that a few times if you notice that there are some pockets of energy sitting in your body that need a little bit of attention.
If you're feeling that your body is already a little on the softer side,
Just allow that.
No need to tense unless you want to.
Take a moment to acknowledge the earth beneath you,
The land that you are on,
Your relationship with this land,
Which includes how you feel here,
How you got here,
Season,
The phase of the moon,
The weather today.
Just noticing all of that.
Let's start by clearing our energy from today.
I want you to invite the image of a light.
This is the light of goodness,
The light of love.
You might have a word for God or goddess or spirit or something like that.
You can certainly invite that energy in if that's the case.
It might be simply a beautiful,
Bright,
Golden,
Maybe white light.
Just see it hovering over your skin,
Around your whole body.
Just gently resting on your energy body,
Which is a few inches out from your skin.
Allow this light to just softly clear and cleanse anything that doesn't belong here,
Anything that's not in alignment with your highest good.
There might be some energies here that have been picked up from the people that you encountered today or even places.
This light begins to just softly dissolve these energies that don't belong here,
Sending them back to source.
This light is gently flowing through your energy body.
Maybe you see it sinking down into the earth through you.
Maybe it flows back and forth.
Maybe it acts like a shower or like ocean waves.
Feeling that beautiful,
Cleansing,
Clearing light moving through and into your body,
Allowing this soothing,
Softening light to move through your skin,
And your muscles,
And your organs,
And your bones,
And your nerves.
And perhaps especially your brain,
Your eyes,
Your forehead,
All of the thinking parts that work so hard all day.
This light just gently flows through your energy body,
Allowing this light to just gently,
Softly,
Soothing,
Supporting,
And cleansing these areas.
You don't need to know what's being cleansed.
You don't need to know what you picked up.
Today,
You're just trusting that this energy knows how to bring you back to balance,
How to clear anything that doesn't belong here,
How to encourage wellness in your system.
Spend a little bit of time here trusting that that light knows exactly what to do.
And when this practice feels complete,
That light is just And when this practice feels complete,
That light is just going to gently flow down into the earth beneath you,
Returning itself to source where it belongs,
Through the wide old earth,
Which knows exactly how to do that,
How to recycle,
How to turn energies from one thing into another.
Feel your body a little softer,
Heavier,
Resting into the earth below you.
And from this place,
You may wish to imagine that light making its way over to someone that you love,
Someone that needs a little bit of extra support or care today.
Just inviting or directing that light towards this person or this being that you love.
Just seeing that light doing its work,
Just trusting it to do that,
To protect this person,
To soothe this person,
To help them return to balance.
And perhaps there's another light that's coming through this space.
And perhaps there's another that you'd like to send that energy to,
Another being that you love,
That you want to share this energy with.
And you can do this as many times as you'd like.
Just trusting that this light knows where to go.
You don't need to think too hard about it.
You don't need to work too hard.
Almost like opening a door and allowing this light to just flow through,
Trusting that it knows what to do.
And eventually allowing the light to just soften back into the earth again,
Knowing that it shifts and flows and changes,
But it's always there.
And here you are,
You're safe.
Safe enough to sleep.
Safe enough to surrender your consciousness to the miraculous place that we go when we sleep.
You're safe enough to receive rest,
To receive the support of the earth.
You're safe enough to receive rest,
To receive the support of the earth.
There's nothing else that needs to be done today.
You have all the time in the world.
And even if you don't sleep,
Your rest is enough.
All you need to do is be here,
Receive,
Rest,
And if it comes,
Sleep.
Sweet dreams.
