Tuesday is coming to a close. Tuesday is named after the planet Mars. In languages like French, Spanish, and Italian the name for Tuesday starts with "mar." The English word comes from the Old English Tiu's day; Tiu was the Viking god of war, who was associated with the planet Mars. No effort in thinking is required. If anything arises, allow it. If nothing arises, be the witness to the stillness and space within you.

Tuesday night.

My name is Reuben.

I'm here to prepare you for the closure of this day.

It's Tuesday night and Tuesday is coming to a close.

Relaxation and restoration in preparation for the magic of a restful night's sleep.

Tuesday is coming to a close.

Tuesday is named after the planet Mars.

In languages like French,

Spanish,

And Italian,

The name for Tuesday starts with Ma.

The English word comes from the Old English,

Tiu's day.

Tiu was the Viking god who was associated with the planet Mars.

The planet Mars is associated with the following qualities.

Ask yourself,

Which quality did I experience today?

Boldness.

Adventure.

Pursuit.

Strength.

Before we move on for the closure of today,

You might like to ask yourself,

What did I experience today that involved taking meaningful action?

No need to look for the answers.

Allow them to come to you.

If nothing comes,

Simply choose to rest in the spaciousness of awareness as you begin to drift off to sleep.

This day of the planet Mars,

Tuesday,

Draws to a close.

This moment,

Your moment,

That is especially for you.

The you that is here for you.

Allowing your body to drop into a restful and restorative night's sleep.

As the planet Mars' day,

Tuesday,

Comes to a close.

Whatever has arisen from the day,

Having given it the space it needs,

Before gently stating to it,

I close you off for today.

I close you off for today.

My future self will deal with anything I need tomorrow.

As the planet Mars' day,

Tuesday,

Comes to a close.

So too,

To the energies that you required for this day.

Open up to this moment.

Letting go of the doing is when we come into a restful night's sleep.

Your body breathes at its own rate and rhythm.

Being aware of the way it does this.

And there is a you.

Being aware of the sounds around you.

Gently making their way to you.

The softness of what you can feel against your skin.

Being aware of the multitude of experiences here.

And there is a you that notices this.

The softness of your body breathing as it does.

The softness of the air as it enters through your nose.

Being aware of these experiences.

The softness that looks out from behind your eyes.

Patterns,

Shapes,

Colors.

Being aware of the you that looks out from behind your eyes.

I choose to restore my body for the following day.

It all happens as I drift away.

I choose to rejuvenate my body for the following day.

It all happens as I drift away.

I choose to heal my body for the following day.

It all happens as I drift away.

It all happens as I drift away.

It all happens as I drift away.

I’m so excited that you released your nightly series from your course individually; they are so much easier to bookmark and access this way. I listen to these a LOT.💫

Are you getting the idea that I’m having problems sleeping right now? 🤣 I liked this new sleep meditation and it seemed like it was for me as it was a Tuesday night. I did go to sleep and missed some of it. Win, win. Sleep is so important isn’t it? As always you have hit the nail on the head. Thank you 🙏

So beautiful! I settled down to sleep looking forward to listening to you as always, and I simply drifted off to sleep somewhere not knowing when! All I remember was the sound of water flowing. So I had to listen to it again this morning - how I wish it was still Tuesday night and feel the magic! I loved it Reuben. I knew I would ❤️💕.

Beautifully done, Reuben. I was sound asleep before it ended. A lovely gift, indeed, that I’ll return to nightly. ❤️
