Your body deserves a deep sleep.
Your body's worked so hard for you today.
Now,
Let's relax your body so you can easily slip into a peaceful,
Restorative sleep.
Everything you did today,
Everywhere you went,
Everything you ate,
Everyone you interacted with,
Your body did that.
Your body is amazing and now your body needs to rest so that you can rejuvenate and be fresh and ready for tomorrow.
Your body's done enough and now it needs to rest.
Let's begin by closing your eyes and making yourself really comfortable.
Take a deep breath in and breathe all the way out.
Let your body sink further into a comfortable position,
Adjusting yourself if necessary.
Then come to your breath.
Be here with your breath for a while.
Feel your chest and stomach rise with each breath in and feel your chest and stomach fall with each breath out.
In,
Out,
Rise,
Fall.
Bring your attention to the top of your head.
Feel it warm and soften.
As you breathe out,
Let go of all the tension you're holding here.
Let go.
Let go of the brow,
The temples.
Feel your head relax.
Bring the attention to your face.
Feel your eyelids get heavier and your cheeks soften.
Unclench your jaw,
Just naturally and gently.
Moving your lower jaw away from the top of your mouth.
Moving your lower jaw from side to side.
Gently releasing.
Resting now.
Take a deep breath in and as you inhale,
Release all the tension from your forehead,
Temples,
Eyes,
Jaw,
Cheeks,
Mouth,
Chin.
Feel your face warm and soften.
Bring your attention to your shoulders and your neck.
Lower your shoulders away from your ears and allow them to sink down.
And as you breathe in,
Imagine your neck stretching,
Releasing any pressure on your spine.
And when you breathe out,
Breathe out any tension.
Feel yourself melt into your bed a little deeper.
Feel your arms as they lay on your bed.
As you take your attention to your arms,
Feel them soften.
With every in-breath,
Imagine your arms getting warmer.
And with every out-breath,
Feel them heavier.
Breathing in warm,
Comfortable,
Relaxed.
Breathing out heavier,
Letting go,
Letting go.
Feel your fingers and hands soften and let your arms,
Hands and fingers be heavy and relaxed.
Heavy and relaxed.
Bringing your attention to the soft beating of your heart in your chest.
Imagine a golden light,
Soft,
Warm,
Golden light emanating,
Coming from your heart and warming your body from its centre.
Feel this golden light spread throughout your body.
Gratitude.
Love.
Feel it.
The magic,
Life-giving energy of this golden light.
Relax your heart.
Relax your body.
It's time to rest.
Sink deeper into your bed.
Softening your stomach.
Softening your belly.
Releasing any tension.
With each out-breath,
Relaxing your stomach deeper,
Deeper into sleep.
Now feel warmth in your back as you bring your attention to it.
Imagine warm,
Softening muscles.
Allow your muscles to let go and relax deeper into your comfortable sleeping position.
Feel the warm energy travel down to your legs,
Into your hips,
Your thighs,
Knees,
Ankles,
Feet and toes.
Letting go.
Letting go.
Feel the heaviness of your legs on your bed.
Melting.
Melting.
Melting.
Deeper into sleep.
Your body is amazing and your body is ready to sleep.
You deserve rest.
As you breathe in,
Be thankful.
And as you breathe out,
Let your body fall into sleep.
Good night.
