Welcome in.

You made it.

This is my aligned life.

This space is for your rest,

Your return,

Your remembering.

This is not just sleep.

This is a soft unraveling.

A quiet homecoming to the body beneath the noise.

To the rhythm beneath the pace.

Let this moment be a bridge from thinking to feeling.

From holding to floating.

From effort to ease.

For the next seven nights you're invited to be gently rewoven,

Thread by thread,

Breath by breath.

Let's begin.

Let your body settle.

There's nowhere else you need to be.

Nowhere else you need to belong.

Feel the bed meet you.

Beneath your shoulders,

Your spine.

Beneath your bones.

Let gravity be your guide.

Let yourself fall just a little more.

Inhale softly through your nose.

And exhale through parted lips like mist leaving the ocean.

Again,

Inhale,

Hold for a moment of stillness.

Exhale longer than before.

Like your whole system is sighing open.

Begin to rock your breath gently.

Like a tide moving across moonlight.

Slow,

Soothing,

Certain.

With each exhale,

Feel something loosen.

Not in force,

But in trust.

Your jaw releases.

Your brow smooths.

Your chest opens and the edges blur.

This is your lullaby.

This is the softening.

This is the return.

Now imagine a golden thread appearing above you.

Weightless,

Luminous,

Familiar.

It floats down towards your chest.

Touching the center of your heart.

Like a memory.

Like a name you once knew.

And without asking,

It begins to wrap itself gently around you.

Not to bind,

But to bless.

Around your chest,

Your arms,

Your hips,

Your spine.

Weaving you back to yourself.

This is the dreaming thread.

It doesn't tug.

It doesn't teach.

It simply knows you.

It knows what's ready to soften.

What's ready to dissolve.

What's ready to be rewritten in a softer language.

It wraps you in rhythm older than rushing.

Deeper than doing.

Truer than tired.

Let it lead you inward.

And to the you who forgot how to rest.

How to trust.

How to float.

As you drift,

Let these phrases find you.

You don't need to repeat them,

But you can.

You don't even need to believe them yet.

But you will.

They're not commands.

They are keys.

I soften into stillness.

I remember my rhythm.

My rest is a ritual.

I am safe to dissolve.

Again.

I soften into stillness.

I remember my rhythm.

My rest is a ritual.

I am safe to dissolve.

Allow these words to ripple through the tissues of your body.

Not to fix anything.

Just to remind you.

Now allow yourself to drift,

To float.

Imagine you're lying in a warm,

Quiet field at twilight.

The sky above you,

A soft lavender haze.

The stars are not quite awake.

The air is almost still.

A breeze moves across your skin slow.

And you begin to feel it.

Your edges are dissolving.

You're not disappearing.

You're just becoming part of something softer,

Wider,

More true.

The shape of the day falls away.

The thoughts float upward like mist.

Even your name begins to fade into the hush.

You are becoming part of peace.

The ground cradles you.

The stars remember you.

And everything that once felt too loud finally goes quiet.

You are simply presence now.

Woven into breath.

Into light.

Into rest.

This is peace.

Remembered.

Allow yourself to dissolve.

Allow yourself to be received.

There is nothing you need to explain.

No one left here to impress.

No part of you that needs to earn this peace.

You belong here.

All that matters now is your descent.

Into dream.

Into safety.

Into your own sacred quiet.

Let the dreaming thread carry what's ready to go.

Let it return you thread by thread to your softest self.

Inhale,

I am whole.

Exhale,

I am held.

Pause,

I am home.

Now rest love.

Let the thread keep weaving.
