Welcome.
You've arrived at the perfect moment to let go of your day and prepare your mind and body for deep nourishing rest.
Begin by gently closing your eyes if that feels comfortable.
Let your hands rest where they fall naturally.
Your body doesn't need to do anything now,
Just be.
Let's take a few deep intentional breaths together.
Inhale slowly through your nose two three four and exhale softly through your mouth two three four five six.
Again breathing in peace and breathing out anything that no longer serves you.
Once more in through the nose and out through the mouth,
Letting go.
Now let your breath return to its own natural rhythm.
With each exhale feel yourself melting deeper into the present moment,
Releasing the tension,
The to-do lists,
The worries.
Leave tomorrow where it is and let go of today.
There is nowhere to go,
Nothing to fix.
This is your time to relax and let go.
Let's bring gentle awareness to your body starting at the crown of your head.
Soften your forehead.
Relax your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
Unclench your hands.
Soften your belly.
Let your legs be heavy.
Your feet relaxed.
Feel your whole body surrendering to the pull of gravity,
Held by the earth,
Supported,
Safe.
Now I'll guide you through a series of affirmations.
You may choose to repeat them silently in your mind or simply let them wash over you.
I have done enough for today.
I release what I cannot control.
I welcome peace into my body and mind.
I am grateful for this day.
I have done my best this day.
I allow myself to rest deeply.
I trust that tomorrow will take care of itself.
Breathe that in.
Let those words settle gently in your heart.
Now come back to your breath once more.
Feel it gently moving in and out.
Let's take one final round of cleansing breaths.
Inhale through the nose,
Hold for a moment and exhale slowly releasing,
Softening,
Melting.
Let your body be still.
Let your mind float.
If thoughts come,
That's okay.
Just notice them then gently return to the breath.
Each breath an anchor.
Each exhale a release.
You are safe.
You are loved.
You are enough.
As we close,
Know that this peace you feel now is always available to you.
Carry it with you into your dreams.
When you're ready,
You can drift into sleep or remain here,
Resting in stillness.
Good night and sweet dreams.
