Come on in and get yourself comfortable.
Close your eyes.
Notice your breathing.
Take a few minutes to take some deep breaths in and out and let go of the day before you.
Focusing on your breathing,
You can let go of any anxious or negative thoughts and gain a sense of clarity and calm.
Let's begin by doing a gentle body scan,
Starting at the top of your head,
Releasing tension all around your head and scalp.
Take a deep breath in and see all the muscles in your face,
Ears,
Nose and jaw let go.
Breathe in deeply and let your muscles relax further as you breathe out,
Scanning through your neck muscles,
Seeing this warm relaxing energy move through your shoulders,
And extending into your limbs,
Your upper,
Mid and lower back,
As well as all around your chest,
Over your ribs and stomach.
Breathing in deeply and relaxing more as you breathe out,
Scanning all around your hips and mid-legs,
And lastly your lower legs,
Your feet,
And through your toes.
Take a couple of deep breaths here,
Noticing how relaxed your body now feels,
Beginning to notice the sound of a crackling fireplace.
It's a calming and peaceful sound,
Which creates a cozy atmosphere.
See yourself lounging in the most comfortable chair,
And just ahead of you is a crackling fireplace.
Now feeling the warmth of the fireplace touching your toes,
Rising up through your legs,
Your torso,
Through your shoulders and arms,
Your neck,
Your face,
And all the way through your head to the top of your head.
You are feeling so very comfortable now.
The sound of the crackling logs,
And the smell of the smoke can help you relax and forget about the world outside.
Taking some deep breaths in,
And out for a few moments to bring awareness to your whole body.
Notice the warmth of the fire,
And the feeling of relaxation that is slowly spreading throughout your body,
Letting your body sink deeper into the comfy chair,
Feeling comfortable and relaxed,
Allowing yourself to drift off into a peaceful slumber.
You should feel an overall sense of calm throughout your body,
And a clearness of your mind now.
You may feel a lightness in your limbs,
And a loosening of the tension in your muscles.
You are now at ease in your breath,
And it is now time to drift off fully into a deep sleep.
The rhythmic and repetitive sounds of a crackling fire relaxing your body and reducing stress.
This is also essential for a restful sleep.
This soft,
Soothing sound can also help to lull you into a deeper state of relaxation.
Allowing you to drift off into a deeper sleep.
In this peaceful state of relaxation,
You escape from the everyday stresses of life,
Truly have found a place to unwind.
If this allows for a deeper and more restful sleep,
You are drifting off into a peaceful dream.
As your body relaxes,
Breathing and heart rate are slowing down.
You are now entering into the deepest state of sleep.
The gentle,
Rhythmic sound creating a soothing atmosphere mixes with your mind and body.
This peaceful,
Calming experience is the perfect way to end and prepare for the rest that lies ahead.
The sound of the flames helps to drown out any distracting noise,
And to create a tranquil and soothing state of sleep.
This helps you drift off into a deep sleep.
A deep and very restful sleep.
Drifting into sleep.
An unconscious mind to easily carry you into peaceful dreams.
Surrendering.
Leaving you fully at peace.
Resting.
You are asleep.
To keep you company.
You are asleep.
Sleep well,
My friend.
