Close your eyes and invite your body to rest.
Find your breath and let it help you settle into this moment.
Releasing the day,
Letting go of everything that happened so you can be right here.
Take a deep breath in,
Feeling the air fill up your body.
And as you exhale,
Feel every fiber and nerve soften and relax.
Sink into a nice,
Easy rhythm of breathing.
Breathing in just a bit deeper on every inhale.
And breathing out just a bit longer on every exhale.
Slowing down,
Releasing the day.
Tonight,
There's magic in the air.
A stillness that feels deeper than usual.
As though the entire world itself has slowed down,
Just to wrap you in calm.
You can sense it in the quiet,
In the ease of your breath,
In the comfort of this moment.
It's a sacred quiet,
A rare calm.
A soft whisper reminding you that all is well.
See if you can picture yourself now in a cozy room.
The lights are dim,
The air is warm,
And the scent of wood smoke fills the space around you.
A fireplace glows at the center,
Casting a golden light.
And this light dances across the walls,
Slow and soothing,
Just like the rhythm of your breath.
You walk toward the couch and settle into its soft cushions.
A blanket is waiting for you,
Thick and warm,
Perfectly comforting.
You pull it close around your body and immediately feel the peace of being held.
The fire crackles gently,
Its song of wood and flame lulling you deeper into rest.
You watch the flames sway and shift,
Sometimes small,
Sometimes tall.
Always glowing,
Always steady.
Their light flickers across the room,
Creating shadows that move like soft waves.
You notice the way the warmth reaches out from the fire and touches your face.
It smooths over your arms,
Wrapping itself around you like a gentle hug.
Every muscle in your body releases,
Soothed by the heat and calmed by the glow.
You lean back deeper into the couch,
Your head heavy on the cushion.
Your breath slows down,
Matching the rhythm of the fire,
Expanding and contracting,
Rising and falling.
A dance of peace between you and the flame.
The world outside is hushed,
Snow is falling,
The night is clear and still,
And there is deep peace in the air.
The fire continues to crackle.
Sparks float upward from time to time,
Glowing like tiny stars that quickly dissolve into the air.
You watch them with soft eyes,
And notice how your thoughts do the same.
Flicker for a moment,
And then fade away into stillness.
The blanket around you feels heavier now,
Drawing you further into comfort.
The firelight is softer,
More golden,
As if it too is ready for sleep.
You close your eyes,
And still you can feel the magic in the air.
A peace so deep,
It seems to move through your very bones.
Your body is ready for sleep.
Namaste.
Beautiful.
