Slow yourself down as breath brings you inside,
Slow its rhythm down,
Gathering all the air provides.
Feel your body melt and sink into your bed.
Release any tension from your toes to your head.
Slowing,
Slowing,
Slowing down.
Further inside you come,
Falling and surrendering to the night's gentle hum.
In this space of stillness,
Let's check in for the night,
To see what thoughts are roaming,
Which ones are here tonight.
Just imagine all those thoughts swirling around your mind.
Watch them as they move and sway.
They don't have to be defined.
Did you know that all these thoughts do not define your soul?
They often feed the ego's need to make you feel less than whole.
So just observe these moving thoughts,
Knowing they're separate from you.
Feel yourself detach from them and connect with what is true.
Perhaps some sadness lingers,
Or anxiety pokes its head.
Maybe you're feeling angry or heavy bitterness instead.
Just take note of all that's here,
Imagining you're on a boat.
Exhale and release them all,
And watch those emotions float.
Now come back into your body.
It anchors you in the now.
Then feel the space within you,
And make this sacred vow.
My mind is my own garden.
I'm planting all the seeds.
I will choose to tend the soil and pluck out all the weeds.
So right now,
I choose to plant the seedlings that will grow into food that feeds my soul,
So I can truly glow.
Slow and steady,
My breath is one with me.
Slow and ready,
My mind is clear and free.
Namaste,
Beautiful.
