Namaste.

Thank you for joining me and pressing play.

The ideas are at this moment your body,

Your mind,

Your soul,

It's craving the energy of rest,

Of sleep and yet something inside of you is preventing you from diving into that restful state that the body and the mind so deeply need.

Our time together will allow you to slow down the breath and to send a message of comfort and safety into the nervous system.

There is a powerful connection between the breath and the nervous system and during our time you can use this tool to settle your body into a space of calm and peace and eventually deep rest.

As the calmness expands through the body and the mind,

The nervous system receives the signal that it's time to rest.

As we begin,

I invite you to settle in,

To make yourself as comfortable as possible,

Closing the eyes down and allowing my voice to be your guide into deep and profoundly relaxing sleep.

Allow yourself the opportunity to relax into stillness.

Begin to make space for this practice by allowing yourself to settle the body into stillness knowing that you are in the right place and that you are allowing sleep to come easily to you,

Letting go of resistance and worry to experience a deep and blissfully tranquil rest.

I will guide you through a relaxing practice built upon your ability to make space for rest and rejuvenation.

As you continue to settle in and make yourself comfortable,

Allow the room you are in and the surface that supports you to facilitate this journey.

Whenever you feel yourself drifting in sleep beginning,

Please drift off into the comfort and into the serenity.

Gently move the awareness into the heart space,

Creating this sensation of opening,

A space of love and kindness for yourself and as the heart opens,

Invite in an energy of light into the space.

Whatever color comes to mind to represent the space with a soft glow,

Just welcome it.

Let the light present itself in the shape of a sphere,

Sense it floating gently above the heart space and as you begin to relax and slow down the breath,

Allow the light to dissolve over the entire body.

Imagine in your mind this light turning to liquid,

Smoothing over the body and the surroundings,

Spreading a sensation of love and kindness all around you.

Let this feeling of love and kindness for yourself set the tone for your rest and notice how it feels in the body.

You have a say in the space that you create.

You can let your practice deepen by building your breath slowly lengthen the inhale,

Allowing more time with each breath and drawing air in through the nose,

Patience as you fill up,

Breathing out slowly as you are ready,

Directing each inhale to be deep in both location and volume.

And then breathe out slowly.

On your next inhale,

Fill the belly first,

Feeling the air fill that space around the ribs.

Imagine the inhale continuing into the neck and the head and then breathing out completely,

Allowing yourself to relax deeper.

Continue building and exploring the breath.

And now change the focus and build a strong connection to the exhale with every breath out,

Letting go further into the restful support of the surface beneath you.

Allow the awareness of the exhale to entirely encompass the breath,

Letting the full span of the attention zero in on this breath.

Notice your strong loving inhale.

Notice the long and forgiving exhale.

And now this breath and this breath and this breath.

Keeping the attention on the breath begin to soften the body in order to allow each breath to smooth over just a bit more.

Let each exhale drag on,

Creating a sensation or experience of patience at the end of the exhale,

Allowing a bit more time and space at the end of the exhale.

We do not need to begin right away.

It will happen in its time,

Giving ourselves space for drifting.

The inhale begins as it's needed.

Notice the comfort that builds at the end of the exhale.

Perhaps the comfort can move throughout the body,

Spreading further.

The body listening to the message,

The message that you're slowing breath is sending.

Your body receives the signal to relax a bit more,

Sensing the surface below you.

Notice that it's supportive and inviting you to sink in a bit more,

Letting go.

Letting go.

Enjoying the easy flow of natural breath,

Encouraging each natural breath to release the tension,

To slow down.

Allowing the awareness to easily flow through the physical experience.

Visualizing your body resting,

Aware of its physical presence.

Allow the weight of the body and the bones to become heavy.

Feel yourself sinking into the support.

Allow your awareness to follow the soft sound of my voice,

Traveling through the body on a journey of sensation.

Feeling each space as it's mentioned and you remain still and relaxed.

Welcome the sensations you experience just as they are.

Begin by noticing where your head meets the support below you and allow your head to feel heavy,

Held.

Allow your face to relax,

Letting go of expression,

Softening where you can.

As you notice sensations in the face,

In the mouth,

In the jaw,

In the lips.

Notice where your upper lip touches the lower lip.

Sense the inside of the mouth,

The teeth,

The gums,

The tongue.

Feel the mouth as a whole and allow yourself to relax in deeper.

Become aware of the right hand.

No need to move,

Just sensing.

Sensing the entire right hand,

The thumb,

First finger,

Middle finger,

Ring finger,

Pinky finger.

Notice the right palm,

The back of the hand,

The wrist,

The lower arm,

The elbow,

And the upper arm moving awareness into the right shoulder,

The right hip,

The thigh,

The knee,

Lower leg,

The ankle,

Top of the foot,

Sole of the foot,

The toes,

Big toe,

Second toe,

Third toe,

Fourth toe,

And fifth toe sensing the whole foot,

Becoming aware of the left hand.

No need to move it,

Just sensing where it is,

The entire left hand,

The thumb,

First finger,

Middle finger,

Ring finger,

And pinky finger,

Sensing the palm,

Into the back of the hand,

The wrist,

The lower arm,

The elbow,

And the upper arm moving awareness into the left shoulder,

The left hip,

The thigh,

The knee,

The lower leg,

The ankle,

Top of the foot,

Sole of the foot,

The toes,

Big toe,

Second toe,

Third toe,

Fourth toe,

Fifth sensing the whole foot,

Sense the abdomen,

And as the awareness flows easily here,

Relax the belly,

Relax the back.

Notice sensation here dissolving away from the abdomen,

Relaxing the back and the hips just by noticing,

Bringing awareness to the neck and to the throat,

And as we soften here,

Relaxing the jaw,

Letting the teeth part as you soften the areas around the corner of the mouth,

Continue,

Continue to relax,

Relaxing the tongue in the inside of the mouth,

Sensing the right eye,

The eyelid,

And the eye socket,

Softening here completely,

Aware of the left eye and the eyelid and the eye socket,

Sensing both eyes at the same time,

And as your awareness flows here,

A gentle softening,

Aware of the right ear,

The inner ear,

The outer ear,

The left ear,

The inner ear,

And the outer ear,

Sense both ears at the same time.

Notice that you can relax both ears at the same time by moving the energy and the attention here,

Sense the entire head and the face as a whole and relax.

Invite any remaining tension that is being held onto to release anywhere in the body.

Notice the body letting go,

Taking one more scan from the head to the soles of the feet,

Breathing deeply into any space,

Holding onto any remaining tension.

Breathe deeply into relaxation.

Let it all go.

Give into the weight of gravity.

Give into the drowsiness coming upon you easily,

Effortlessly.

The act of looking inward,

Acknowledging the experience can bring a profound softening to that which you're holding onto,

Paying attention as the power to bring you into the present moment,

Allowing you and relaxation to move.

Subtly moving the energy,

Balancing the imbalance.

Comfort rests in the entire body now.

Nervous system shifting.

You are shifting.

With your relaxed skin,

You have created change.

You are in a calm state of relaxation.

The perfect state to easily drift to sleep.

You are exactly where you need to be.

Stay with the experience of sensation.

Notice the tranquility as you become more and more relaxed into your supported space.

Notice the drowsy sensations washing over you.

Allow yourself to go deeper still.

Allow all of your thoughts to go.

Let the scanning awareness drift off.

Simply being with your truest self all other layers,

Dissolving.

The boundaries become a blur,

Sensing the place inside of you,

The place of inner wisdom.

The layer inside is where your insight resides.

Breathing.

Slowing down.

Opening into expansiveness.

Opening into spaciousness.

Allowing yourself to simply be.

Going further into relaxation.

Further into the space inside of you where you feel secure and loved.

The space where inner joy resides.

Drift into that space.

Drift.

Drift.

Drift.
