I hope you're comfortable.
If there's anything you need to do to make yourself more comfortable,
Please do it now.
And when you're ready,
Take a couple of deep,
Calming breaths in.
And very slowly release the breath.
Welcoming the in-breath,
Feeling your belly rise.
And letting go of any tension you're holding onto with each out-breath.
You are safe and you are protected here.
Allow yourself to surrender the worries and baggage from your day.
Release it all with each out-breath.
Breathing in peace and releasing stress with each out-breath.
Breathing in peace and releasing stress.
Letting go,
Letting go.
Feeling into your shoulders,
Allowing your shoulders to soften.
Allowing your arms to feel heavy and relaxed.
Feeling into your legs,
Allowing your legs to lie heavy.
Comforted,
Supported.
Feeling into your jaw,
Allowing any tension in your jaw to melt away.
You are cradled in the arms of sleep,
Feeling more and more relaxed.
With each breath,
Soft,
Warm,
Relaxed.
Sinking into bed,
The pillows supporting your head and neck.
Mattress hugging every curve of your body as you melt into its soothing embrace.
You're cared for,
Be at peace.
Breathe deeply as you settle into this restful state.
Sleep gently washes over you like the lapping of waves.
It's perfectly safe to let go now,
To drift and dream.
Detach yourself from the cares of the day.
You're protected and supported here.
Each breath relaxes you more as you float into deep restful sleep.
Sleep comes easily and naturally now.
Stillness,
Comfort,
Renewal.
Allow yourself to drift peacefully through the night.
