Good evening,

Beautiful.

Thank you so much for joining me here tonight.

Some nights,

Sleep does not come easy.

It dances just out of reach,

And the more you chase it,

The farther away it seems to drift.

So tonight,

Let's allow sleep to come.

Let's just be here together in the softness of this moment.

Let your body be just as it is.

Let your head rest,

Let your arms and legs grow heavy,

And let any tension slowly melt away.

You've done enough today.

You've carried enough.

Now is the time to surrender to the pillow,

To the stillness,

To the night.

Just allow yourself to exhale,

Gently and slowly,

Gently and slowly.

Your mind may still be swirling,

And that's okay.

Thoughts don't need to disappear for rest to arrive.

Just let them be,

Let them pass through like a breeze through an open window.

Even if sleep feels far away,

Peace can still be near.

You can still rest,

You can still soften.

Notice how the bed cradles you.

Notice how the quiet wraps around you.

Let the night hold you just as you are,

And with every breath,

Invite yourself a little closer to calm,

A little closer to ease.

You're allowed to let go now.

Let go of the day,

Let go of the plans,

Let go of the stories,

Let go of the effort.

Let this be a sacred pause,

A space where you are safe,

A moment where you are allowed to do nothing.

Even if sleep doesn't come right away,

It's okay.

You are still resting,

You are still healing,

You are still being held,

And at some point,

Without needing to try,

Sleep will arrive,

Like a soft tide coming in,

Gently,

Naturally,

In its own perfect time.

Until then,

Just rest,

Just breathe,

Just be.

You are not alone in this moment.

You are wrapped in comfort,

Bathed in calm,

And surrounded by peace.

Namaste,

Beautiful.
