As you settle into your space tonight,

Let your body soften onto the surface beneath you.

Allow the weight of the day to gently lift as if a soft breeze is carrying it all away.

Take a deep breath in,

Filling your lungs with peace,

And then exhale slowly,

Allowing the burdens of the day to lift off your shoulders as gently as feathers floating on a breeze.

Welcome yourself into the quiet.

Here,

In this sacred space,

Let it all go and allow these words to be your gentle guide.

Imagine your mind as a vast sky.

Thoughts fly across this expanse like birds at dusk,

Swift and unpredictable.

With each breath,

These birds begin to glide more smoothly,

Their movements becoming less hurried and more graceful.

These birds,

Your thoughts,

Soar through the air,

But gradually they lower their flight,

Aligning with the horizon's calm.

They circle gracefully,

Preparing to rest as the colors of the sky deepen into peace.

Inhale deeply,

And as you exhale,

See these birds descending gently toward the earth,

Finding their roosts as the sky calms.

With every inhale,

Draw in the quiet of the twilight sky.

With every exhale,

Feel the flutter of thoughts softening.

Now,

You see a single bird,

The lead bird,

Representing your focus.

Watch as it chooses to land,

Signaling to the others.

One by one,

Your thoughts,

These birds,

Find their places to rest for the night.

Inhale serenity,

Exhale the flurry of activity.

Feel a gentle warmth as if the setting sun itself bathes you.

It touches your forehead,

Soothing it,

Easing the flight paths of your thoughts.

Let this warmth cascade down,

Relaxing your temples,

Your eyes,

Your jaw.

Breathe in warmth,

Breathe out tension.

As the sky darkens into night,

The air cools and stills.

The birds are settled on their branches,

Calm and quiet.

Your mind mirrors this tranquil scene.

Peaceful,

Fast,

And beautifully still.

You are meant to rest here,

Under the canopy of stars,

Just breathe.

Inhale the tranquility of the night,

And exhale any remaining flickers of movement.

The sky cradles you,

The stars above keep watch in silence.

So breathe,

And let your mind find rest.

And feel the profound peace of being just as you are.

Namaste,

Beautiful.

You
