Hello, Beautiful. I'm so thankful you're here with me right now. Let's take a big deep breath together to begin. And let it out, All the way out, As you feel your body soften. One more big deep breath, Filling yourself up with air as much as you can. And then release. Letting it all go. There's a kind of tired that sleep alone. Doesn't seem to touch. Your body feels heavy. But something inside is still moving. A quiet current beneath the surface. A hum you can't quite turn off. And it leaves you right here. Feeling exhausted? And awake at the same time. So just come into this moment. And allow your breath. To move just naturally through you. In and out. In, And out. Let the motion of your breathing slow you down. Relax your body. And quiet your mind. This energy in you. This restlessness. This alertness. It isn't against you. It's just movement. It's life shifting. It's a body learning a new rhythm. See if you can imagine that this energy is life. It's bright. Like a sky filled with stars. Each thought. Each sensation. Is a point of light flickering in the night. See if you can watch this light grow softer. And dim. Not quite disappear. Let it just become gentle. Bring your attention to your breath again. And notice how it naturally slows. When you stop trying to change anything. Inhale the exhale. Like a tide that takes its time returning to shore. In. And down. And down. Feel your body where it meets the surface beneath you. Feel the weight of your legs. With support beneath your back. A subtle pull of gravity. Drawing you down. Now imagine that the energy in your body begins to spread out. It's no longer concentrated in your chest or behind your eyes. It flows downward. Through your shoulders your arm. Your hand. Through your belly. Your hip. Your legs. Your feet. The energy current. Doesn't disappear. It redistributes. It softens. It becomes something your body can rest. Insider. Your mind may still flicker. That's okay. Just let it. Like distant stars that are present. They don't need to demand your attention. Your body is learning and adjusting. And finding a new way to move between energy. And rest. There is a space here. Between wakefulness and sleep. A quiet place where your body can restore. Without needing to fully drift away. Rest here now. Jazz. Rest. Namaste. Beautiful.
