Transcript

Welcome to a meditation for deep rest and gratitude. Find a comfortable position lying down. Let your arms rest by your sides. And when you're ready, Close your eyes. Take a slow breath in through your nose. And a slow, Long exhale out through your mouth. Letting the day begin to fall away. One more inhale. And slow exhale. Let your body sink a little deeper into whatever is holding you right now. Maybe the bed or the floor beneath you. You no longer have to hold yourself up. You can let it all go. Now bring your awareness to your feet. Just notice them. Let them relax and soften. And now move up to your legs. Your hips. Allowing them to melt open. Relaxing the belly. Feeling a little more weight leaving your body with every exhale. Your chest softens. Your shoulders release the weight of the day. Your hands. Your jaw. And the space behind your eyes. But it softened. You made it through today. Take a moment to simply acknowledge that. And now think of one thing you did today. Maybe it was something you gave or something you said. Something you showed up for. It could be small or maybe no one even noticed it but you. Take a moment to feel that it counted. And you contributed to this world today just by being you. Let that feeling settle into your chest. And let yourself feel really good about it. You've already done the perfect amount today. And now before you drift off to sleep, Set one quiet intention for tomorrow. Nothing to mark off your to-do list. More so just a feeling. How do you want to feel when you wake up? Who do you want to embody? Hold that intention gently. Like a seed that you're planting. Right before you sleep. And now feel everything melt away. Your thoughts. Your plans. Your worries. There's nothing you need to figure out right now. Take a slow inhale. Slow exhale You are a save. You are loved. You are appreciated. And tomorrow is a new day. Good night!
