Begin by allowing your breathing to find its own comfortable rhythm Breathe in through your nose,
Noticing the air entering.
And breathe out a little more slowly,
Allowing your body to recognize that it can begin to slow down now.
Once again,
Breathing gently.
And as you breathe out Allow some unnecessary tension to leave with the breath Perhaps you'll begin to notice that you don't actually have to make relaxation happen You simply create the conditions and allow relaxation to happen by itself And as you follow three quiet,
Comfortable breaths,
Notice the small space between the end of one exhale and the beginning of the next inhale.
A brief moment of stillness.
And whenever that pause appears naturally,
Allow your attention to rest there,
Letting your body settle a little more deeply each time.
Now choose a color.
There is no need to search for the right one.
Whatever color first comes to mind can be enough.
Imagine a healing energy of that color beginning to form just above your head.
Luminous,
Peaceful.
Intelligent,
And notice that energy gently touching your scalp.
Spreading relaxation across your forehead through your temples.
And around your eyes The muscles are given permission to rest.
Your jaw softens.
Your tongue rests comfortably.
Perhaps you can discover another way of deepening this experience.
Allow one small area of your body to hold just a little tension while another part relaxes completely.
And then release that remaining tension as well.
That contrast can teach your entire nervous system a new depth of relaxation.
Allow the energy to move down through your neck.
And into your shoulders It travels through your upper arms elbows.
Forearms.
And and fingers Bringing comfort and a gentle intention of physical restoration then it moves through your chest.
Surrounding your heart and lungs with stillness.
Down through your abdomen You're back.
And along your spine.
Allowing every muscle to find the position requiring the least possible effort.
And the less effort there is,
The less necessary it becomes to know exactly where the body ends and rest begins.
The energy continues through your hips thighs,
News.
Calves,
Ankles and feet And as every part of you receives this light,
You can continue drifting gently more deeply within.
And while this energy remains quietly present throughout your entire body,
Perhaps you begin to notice a portal appearing before you.
There is no need to decide where it should be,
Simply allow your mind to reveal it Notice its shape.
It's light.
Its details.
And when you are ready,
Step through.
On the other side is a vast and silent space,
Illuminated by a light that seems to come from every direction at once.
Ahead of you,
Crystalline cosmic waters descend in a magnificent waterfall.
And with every step you take toward it,
You can begin to forget a little more of whatever does not need to follow you into rest tonight Move closer to the waterfall and allow those waters to touch the crown of your head.
Notice something interesting.
The water does not remain only on the surface of your skin.
It passes gently through the physical body.
Reaching deeper places within you.
As it moves downward,
Perhaps your conscious mind tries to follow its path.
And at the very moment,
You try to discover exactly where it is.
Another part of you can relax even more deeply.
The water flows through your chest and surrounds your heart.
Washing through old hurts.
Fears.
Gill.
Resentment sadness that has been held inside.
Emotions that may not even need a name.
Whatever is ready to be released can now begin to find its own natural way out.
And now.
Allow yourself to lie back.
Into the quiet waters gathering beneath the waterfall.
Your body floats effortlessly.
And you can experience relaxation in layers.
First noticing the surface of the water.
Then gradually forgetting the surface.
And then becoming aware only of what exists beneath it.
The water gently moves.
Through every layer of your being.
Through memories.
Feelings.
And old emotional imprints.
Reaching inner places that your conscious mind does not need to understand And while one part of you continues listening to my voice,
Another part can continue drifting quietly downward.
Allowing these waters to find,
Soften and transform whatever is now ready to be released.
And as you remain there,
Suspended in that profound stillness,
Something within you can continue reorganizing itself naturally Quietly.
Without conscious effort.
And while these waters continue flowing through every layer of your being,
Allow my voice to guide you even deeper.
In a moment,
I'll count down from ten to one,
And you don't have to follow every number.
You may even lose track of some of them along the way,
Because each number simply means there is less to think about,
Less to control,
Less to hold on to.
10,
Letting go.
Nine,
Drifting down.
Moving farther away from thought.
Seven,
The body rests.
6.
Emotions become quieter Five.
Halfway down now.
And perhaps it no longer matters where you are.
4,
Deeper still.
3.
Releasing to quiet within.
One,
Deeply receptive,
Peaceful,
Allowing each word to reach exactly the place within you where it can be most useful.
I release old emotions without needing to relive their stories.
My body learns that it is safe to relax,
And my mind follows that learning naturally.
What has ended no longer needs to take up space within me.
I acknowledge my emotions,
Listen to what they have taught me,
And release what has already served its purpose.
My heart can keep the wisdom without continuing to carry the pain that taught it.
With every exhale,
My nervous system learns a deeper way of returning to balance.
I allow old feelings to transform into understanding,
Maturity,
And peace.
The more deeply I rest,
The more naturally my mind reorganizes what once felt confusing I do not need to control every thought in order to experience inner quiet.
My past has shaped who I have been,
But the choices I make now strengthen who I am becoming.
My body recognizes the path into deep rest more easily with each passing night.
I can feel deeply without becoming trapped in what I feel Everything I release creates more space for serenity,
Safety,
And new possibilities.
Each night,
My mind learns to bring the day to a close.
Release what is no longer needed,
And surrender naturally into sleep.
And now,
The less I try to fall asleep,
The more easily I allow sleep to find me.
