Settle into a comfortable position and allow your body to rest fully.
Let the surface beneath you support you completely,
Steady and unmoving.
There's nothing you need to fix or adjust,
Nothing you need to hold in place.
Take a slow,
Gentle breath in.
And a soft,
Unhurried breath out.
Allow your breathing to find its own rhythm.
Imagine the space around you growing quieter,
Not silent,
Just calm.
Like the world has softened for the night.
Feel your body beginning to sink.
Your shoulders ease downward,
Away from your ears.
Your arms rest heavily,
Comfortably.
Your hands relax,
Fingers loose and warm.
Your jaw unclenches,
Your tongue rests gently in your mouth.
Your brow smooths as your eyes rest behind closed lids.
There's nothing you need to pay attention to right now,
Nothing you need to complete.
Now imagine yourself resting within a vast,
Quiet universe.
Space stretches in every direction,
Wide,
Open,
And deep.
And still.
There is no edge you need to find,
No horizon you need to look toward.
Just endless,
Calm space holding you.
Stars rest far away in the distance.
They don't sparkle brightly or pull your focus.
They remain steady,
Constant,
And quiet.
You don't need to reach for them.
You don't need to understand anything about them.
They simply exist.
And you simply exist here too.
If thoughts arise,
Notice them softly.
Like distant points of light,
Very far away.
They don't need to be pushed aside.
They don't need to be followed.
They can drift and fade,
All on their own.
Return gently to the feeling of being supported.
The surface beneath you,
The stillness around you.
Let the quiet begin to spread through your body.
Across the top of your head,
Down the back of your neck,
Softening your shoulders.
The quiet moves through your chest.
Your breath slows naturally.
Your belly rises and falls with ease.
The quiet settles into your hips,
Your legs,
Your knees and calves,
All the way down to your feet.
Your entire body rests inside this calm.
Nothing is tense.
Nothing is required.
The universe around you remains wide and peaceful.
It doesn't rush you.
It doesn't expect anything from you.
You are held here.
There is nowhere else you need to be.
Nothing you need to become.
If sleep begins to arrive,
You don't need to help it.
It knows how to find you.
If you remain awake,
That's okay too.
Your body is still resting.
Your nervous system is still settling.
Spend a few moments simply resting inside this space,
Breathing softly,
Being supported.
The stars remain distant and steady.
The universe remains quiet and vast,
And you remain here,
Safe,
Supported and at ease.
Take one slow,
Gentle breath in,
And a soft breath out.
Resting in the quiet universe exactly as you are.
