Hello dear ones. And welcome to tonight's sleep talkdown. But if you found yourself awake during the night. Just settling down into your bed. Allow your eyes to close. Breathing in slowly. And releasing tension in the body. On the out breath. Breathing in. . . And breathing out. Notice the weight of your body. Notice how the surface beneath you is holding you up. Effortlessly. You don't need to do anything. You are already being held. Imagine now. That you are floating on a perfectly still lake. The water is warm. Exactly the same temperature as your skin. So you can barely feel. Way you end. And the water begins. You are floating on your back. Face turned gently upwards. Toward the night sky. There is no effort in floating. You don't need to try. The water does everything. You only need to let it. Sky above is still. A deep, Quiet, Blue, Black sky. And there are stars. Countless stars. With each breath you take. Your body rises very slightly on the water. And with each exhale. It settles back. Slightly deeper. Rising. Unsettling. The lake holds you. Through every movement of your breath. You are completely safe here. There are no sounds. Except the faintest occasional lapping at the water's edge. Sounds so gentle. It might just be your imagination. Let your hands float open. Let your jaw go soft. Let the small muscles around your eyes. Release. You are weightless. You are hell. The night is infinite and kind. And it asks nothing of you. Just float. Drifting away.
