Settling into bed.
.
.
Making yourself as comfortable as possible.
.
.
Covering your body with a soft blanket or two.
.
.
Perhaps even a weighted blanket for added safety,
Security.
.
.
Adjusting your pillow or multiple pillows until they are just right.
.
.
Perfectly supporting your head,
Neck,
And shoulders.
.
.
Softly closing down your eyes.
.
.
I welcome you to take a deep breath.
.
.
Letting go of as much mental noise as possible.
.
.
Thoughts of the day.
.
.
What you should have done or shouldn't have done.
.
.
What you said or shouldn't have said.
.
.
Thoughts about tomorrow.
.
.
What needs to be done.
.
.
Where you have to go.
.
.
All that you perceive has to be done.
.
.
Letting go of thoughts like.
.
.
Will I be able to sleep tonight?
I wonder what kind of night's sleep I will get tonight.
.
.
I can't sleep.
.
.
I won't be able to sleep with how I am feeling and all that is on my mind.
.
.
Let this all go.
.
.
I give you permission to let all of these thoughts go.
.
.
Place your attention on your breath.
.
.
In your body.
.
.
On my voice.
.
.
Feel the safety.
.
.
The comfort of your bed supporting you.
.
.
Protecting you.
.
.
In this moment,
You are safe.
.
.
Secure.
.
.
It is safe to let go of thinking.
.
.
Allowing your mind and body to surrender completely into a sweet,
Sweet night's rest.
.
.
Feel the softness of the blankets on and around you.
.
.
Creating a nest of safety and comfort.
.
.
Your body is protected.
.
.
You are okay.
.
.
Feel the softness of the pillow beneath your head.
.
.
Providing comfort and support to your head.
.
.
Neck.
.
.
And shoulders.
.
.
Perhaps if you are laying on your back.
.
.
One or both hands are resting gently on your abdomen.
.
.
Feeling the rise and fall of your belly with each in-breath and each out-breath.
.
.
It is safe to let go.
.
.
It is okay to give your mind and body the gift of rest.
.
.
Allow your breath to slow a little.
.
.
Relax the breath.
.
.
It is signaling to your mind and body that you are safe.
.
.
And that it is time for sleep.
.
.
The room you are in is dark.
.
.
With no hints of light sneaking in.
.
.
It is the perfect temperature for you.
.
.
You've settled into the bed quietly.
.
.
Gently.
.
.
Comfortably.
.
.
Peacefully.
.
.
In this moment,
All is well.
.
.
Nothing needs fixing.
.
.
Adjusting.
.
.
Or tending to.
.
.
It can all wait until tomorrow.
.
.
In this complete acceptance and surrender.
.
.
You begin to feel your mind release.
.
.
And your body get heavy.
.
.
Drifting off to sleep.
.
.
Off to the sweetest,
Sweetest night's sleep.
.
.
Good night,
Sweetheart.
.
.
Sweet dreams.
.
.
