Lay down,
Beautiful,
The evening is near,
The hush of the night is tender and clear.
Your body grows heavy,
Your breath slow and deep,
A blanket of calm prepares you for sleep.
The busyness fades as the silence appears,
A river of stillness is washing the fears.
Each thought that was racing now softens,
Grows light,
And drifts with the stars in the velvet of night.
You rest in a rhythm,
So steady,
So true,
A cradle of peace is carrying you,
Your forehead relaxes,
Your jaw becomes free,
Your shoulders release like leaves from a tree,
Your arms grow heavy,
Hands gentle and warm,
Relaxed by the night,
Released from the storm,
Your chest gently rises,
Your belly is wide,
Your breath is the ocean,
And the waves are your guide.
The muscles unwind all along your spine,
A current of ease in each vertebrae's line,
Your hips melt to soften,
Your thighs deeply rest,
Your legs and your feet sink down,
Feeling so blessed.
Now visions of light swirl gentle and near,
Each glow is a whisper,
Each shimmer sincere,
They carry your burdens like lanterns away,
And guide you to dreams where you softly will stay.
Overwhelm loosens,
It slips through the air,
Its weight disappearing,
Replaced and repaired,
Your breath is a meadow,
Your mind is the sky,
The clouds pass with ease as the moon drifts on high,
Every care lessens,
They fade like the mist,
Each worry dissolves in the night's gentle kiss,
You're bathed in a rhythm both timeless and true,
The night is a river that's flowing through you.
Here in this moment,
No hurry,
No race,
Only the sweetness of spacious embrace.
Peace settles softly,
And it comes in your chest,
Beautiful lullaby soothing you to rest.
Now picture your worries as petals of light,
They drift from your body and glow in the night,
The breeze lifts them higher,
They flutter,
They sway,
And slowly they vanish,
All carried away.
Each breath is a blessing,
Each moment a gift,
The heaviness is gone,
Replaced by a lift.
You're steady,
You're grounded,
And your spirit is clear,
You rest in the knowing that peace is right here.
Overwhelmed silences,
Worry takes flight,
As calm gently anchors the depths of this night,
You float in the silence and drift in the stream,
Surrendered to stillness,
Embraced by a dream.
Stay here,
Dear one,
With nothing to chase,
The rhythm of sleep will soften your pace.
The world is now quiet,
Your soul is free to roam,
And all that you need is right here at home.
So rest in the calm,
Let your spirit take flight,
You're held in the arms of the soft,
Tender night.
Namaste,
Beautiful.
