As you breathe out,

Notice the mattress is steady.

Notice the steadiness is there for you now.

Surrender your body's weight to the steadiness.

Notice how good it feels to rest your body on steadiness.

Notice the weight of your head on the pillow beneath it.

Allow the steadiness to take the full weight of your head.

Breathe out down the full length of your body,

Allowing your body to soften and release what it's brought with it here and no longer needs to carry.

Notice the smooth,

Cool touch of the sheets on your skin.

Allow yourself to enjoy the sensation.

And say the affirmation,

I let go of the day.

Breathe out the day that's passed,

Without needing to go over anything.

Let it flow out and away.

Breathe out the last few days,

Without needing to go over anything.

Let them flow out and away.

Breathe out the last few weeks.

Let it all flow out and away.

Stay with the weight of your body making contact with the mattress,

Right down to your feet.

Your head supported by the comfortable pillow.

The touch of the sheets.

And become aware of the sensation of air entering and leaving your nostrils.

Notice the air is cool as it enters,

Warm as it leaves.

Allow your breath to slow and lengthen in its own time.

As you do so,

Let your mind soften and sit back in your head.

Breathe out from your mind.

Allow it to release what it's brought with it here and no longer needs to carry.

Let it all flow out and away.

Come down into the rise and fall of your breath.

Both are fine.

Notice how your body gets heavier.

As it moves towards rest.

It's okay for your body to move into resting deeper in its own time.
