Good evening,
I am Tamea Urban,
Reiki master and teacher.
It is my pleasure to guide you.
Welcome to your evening practice,
A gentle before-bed ritual.
Whether you are attuned or not,
Allow the powerful energy of Reiki to bless you and deeply restore you during your sleep.
Find a comfortable position lying down,
Adjusting the body in any way to allow yourself to feel relaxed and held.
Gently begin to close down the eyes and take a deep breath in,
In through the nose.
And when you're ready,
Exhale,
Sigh it out through the mouth.
Allow yourself to arrive fully into this moment.
There's nowhere you need to be,
Nothing you need to do.
Simply be in this moment,
Feeling safely held.
Begin to connect to the energy of Reiki and allow it to infuse in and around you.
Bring your awareness to your body resting against the surface beneath you.
Feel that gentle pull of gravity supporting you.
And the space between you and the surface beginning to melt as your body gets heavy and softens.
From here,
Imagine roots growing from the base of your spine and through the feet,
Anchoring you into the earth,
Holding you,
Revitalizing you,
Allowing you to have a strong foundation to land upon.
Let's take another deep breath in.
And when you're ready,
Exhale,
Sigh it out,
Letting go of the weight of the day.
Now bring to mind anyone or anything you interacted with today.
Visualize any cords of energy connecting you to these people,
Places,
And situations.
Notice if any of them feel heavy,
Sticky,
Or like energy is leaking from them.
And with your next breath,
I invite you to visualize a golden blade or perhaps see a pair of energetic scissors.
And begin lovingly cutting and dissolving these cords,
Releasing what no longer serves you.
What is not yours and what may affect the quality of your rest ahead.
And as you do this,
Saying silently or out loud,
I release all energy that is not mine.
I call all my energy back to me now,
Fully cleansed and cleared.
I am complete.
I am whole.
Feel or imagine this energy returning to your body,
Filling you up with warmth and lightness.
Now envision a waterfall of pure white or golden light beginning to pour over you,
Washing away any lingering stress,
Expectations,
To-dos,
Or anything else that is not needed while you rest.
Feel it washing it all away,
Feeling lighter with every breath.
Noticing as a wave of softness moves through the body as you gently land into a state of surrender.
I invite you to connect to Reiki again a little deeper,
Imagining a glowing light enter through the top of your head,
Beginning to flow down your entire body.
This light is calming,
Calming,
Nurturing,
And deeply restorative.
You may feel warm,
Tingling,
Or perhaps nothing at all,
All of which is perfectly and completely normal.
Feel this energy wrapping around your heart,
Soothing your mind,
Relaxing every muscle.
Trust that this healing light,
This Reiki energy,
Knows exactly where to go and what to do.
Silently or out loud,
Affirm to yourself,
I am safe to let go.
I am worthy of deep rest.
I receive this healing energy and allow it to hold me.
Let this Reiki energy infuse every part of you inside and out,
Preparing you for a peaceful,
Restorative sleep.
Trust that everything that is meant to be released is now gone.
Trust that you are protected,
Deeply loved,
Just as you are.
Trust that it is now time to drift into a peaceful rest.
May it be so,
And so it is.
When you are ready,
Allow yourself to fully let go,
Drifting into sleep,
Or gently open your eyes if you need to transition.
May you be blessed now,
Throughout the night,
And always.
