Transcript

This meditation is for your nervous system to feel safe and secure allowing yourself to gently settle in your bed make yourself so so comfy knowing that you can move around you can find more blankets, Cushions whatever you need and remember this isn't about analyzing or trying to improve your nervous system this is simply about settling in and allowing it to settle over the course of tonight our nervous system throughout the day can get so fired up especially if we feel we need to be switched on if we have lots of duties and responsibilities or simply if we're holding like so many humans so much fear stress and anxiety i want you to know that it's so normal to feel as though your nervous system can get really fired up and unsettled but that this is your time to rebalance that to settle that in your body just allowing yourself to take some deep breaths as you begin to rest here recognizing that your body might have felt quite wired, Alert, Maybe overwhelmed and it just makes it hard to allow the body to switch off and that makes sense that it can feel difficult then to unwind but again taking that pressure off seeing this evening is simply you taking rest in your bed with your nervous system balancing out just being a bonus feeling as though you can get a good night's sleep just a bonus if nothing else you're here listening to this support that that alone can help you to rejuvenate remembering that tonight you don't need to do anything different you don't need to try to relax properly you don't need to follow every word trusting that simply this steady presence is enough enough to soothe enough to bring your body back to balance trusting that this is something your body can rest alongside you do not need to be switched on you do not need to hear every word trusting you will absorb it even as you fall asleep how wonderful it feels for nothing to be required of you how wonderful it feels to not have to give and put in any more effort in your day but to simply receive I'm taking a deep breath in as you're lying here if you can deep breath through your nose I'm releasing that breath slowly gently through your mouth signaling to the body that it's time to switch off to calm to soften to relax beginning to allow your system to orient here right where you are in the safety of your bed as you're breathing you just notice the surface beneath your body and the coziness of your mattress the soft sensation of your pillows the warmth of your duvet safe and cocooned noticing the weight of you being held allowing your nervous system to take in these senses that sense of touch of the blanket, The duvet, The pillow on your skin and that sense of touch extending now to the temperature of the room and just notice how the air feels on your skin as you rest perhaps the air feels cool warm perhaps you barely notice it at all and wonderful it feels to lie here feeling safe and just noticing the temperature of the air maybe the first time you've noticed the temperature of the air on your skin all day trusting that this is beginning to regulate your nervous system trusting on that deep biological level your body is receiving the message that it is safe and that it is safe to rest as you lie here you realize nothing is being asked of you that no one needs anything from you that you do not need to provide or hide this moment is already enough for your nervous system to know that it is here it is okay that you are okay and allow your breath to be exactly as it is nothing you need to change about your breath and we don't need to deepen it unless you want to you don't need to slow it down unless you want to you just feel the gentle rise and fall of your natural breath that natural rhythm and if it feels natural you can start to let your exhale be slightly longer than your inhale not forcing just allowing allowing your body to breathe you rather than you breathing it feeling the exhale perhaps wanting to be longer wanting to slow down you enjoy the sensation now of releasing control releasing that weight that you need to be managing that the body can breathe you your body can hold you your body can heal as you rest your body is so smart like that it knows exactly what to do exactly how to repair to rebalance all you have to do is allow it and when there is no urgency like this your body recognizes this is familiar it remembers this is your body's language after all to feel a sense of relaxation an internal healing this is your body's natural state and now bring your nervous system a very gentle organized rhythm if it feels good if you want to if you can just bring your awareness to the right side of your body noticing your right leg and then shifting your awareness back to your left side the heaviness the relaxation in your left leg torso shoulder imagining that each time you go back and forth each side of your body sinks deeper into the bed it softens like butter melts into the bed beneath you traveling in your mind from right and from left to right and from right beautifully slowing everything down your body feels both heavy and weightless in the bed breathing as you lie here as your body becomes more and more relaxed seeing if you can release any tension from your jaw your jaw does not need to do any holding your jaw is allowed to soften feeling your cheekbones soften now your cheekbones feeling so relaxed feeling your temples relax as though every tiny bone is just gently softening feeling your shoulders soften your shoulders melting into the bed all the weight and the stress just coming off your shoulders nothing for you to hold right now you feel now your belly softening your belly feels so calm it's not racing for anything it's not feeling tense or worried your belly feels calm you feel safe in this part of your body no need to overly complicate this just letting your belly release trusting it knows how to relaxing the back of your neck relaxing that tender space at the back of your neck a place that feels so tense at times letting that space truly relax the back of your neck the back of your neck feels so soft without tension you trust that you don't need to make your body relax or any of these areas relax you just let them know you just give them the message and they will receive it they will do the work for you telling these areas of your body that you don't have to hold yourself together right now your nervous system learn tension to keep you functioning but tonight it is allowed to stand down even just a small softening is more than enough and if part of you stays alert at night it doesn't mean that something is wrong it often means that your system learn that staying aware mattered or that it was needed somehow maybe your nervous system just learn that rest came second that it wasn't maybe as important perhaps you've learn along the way that being ready somehow and alert was important and tonight nothing improves by staying alert you start receiving this message that i don't need to stay alert however it does not keep me more safe by doing that that nothing is prevented by monitoring the night the night is simply a place of stillness of quiet it's a place that does not need to be monitored a place that does not need you to keep watch for nothing is protected by staying awake the world continues whether you watch or not it doesn't need you to watch it doesn't matter what it might feel like to be off duty not feeling like you have to feel perfectly calm or switching off perfectly just no longer responsible maybe in your mind's eye you imagine yourself stepping off duty as a guard or someone who's been taking watch in a tower far up in the sky like a lighthouse or a tall tower that you've been working so hard in and tonight you imagine yourself coming off duty clocking off and coming down those stairs coming down that tower and realising that you do not need to keep watch where the space you're in is safe continuing to see that visual in the lighthouse the tower functioning perfectly well without you you do not need to keep watch you do not need to be tense or prepared or stretched and as you drift towards sleep it may help to know that the sound will remain steady here throughout the night that there will be no sudden changes no new instructions or interruptions that your nervous system does not need to check on again tonight and that you are allowed to stay asleep that you are allowed to rest deeply that nothing will be missed absorbing these affirmations as you rest trusting those affirmations to be absorbed even when you sleep and allowing the music to play tonight to soothe you and to remember you're not alone my body knows how to return to balance I am safe in this moment it is safe for my nervous system to slow down I do not need to stay alert to be ok nothing is required of me right now my body is releasing what it no longer needs to hold I am
