And guide you into a deep restful sleep.

And your thoughts to quieten.
Take a moment to settle in.
Making sure you are as comfortable as possible.
Adjust your position if needed.
Letting your body sink into the surface beneath you.
Feel the gentle support holding you.
Inviting you to relax completely.
Bring your attention to your breathing.
There is no need to change anything.
Simply notice the soft rhythm of your breath as it flows in and out.
And out.
Feel it as it passes over your lips or through your nose.
Let your awareness rest there.
If other thoughts intrude,
That's okay.
Just gently return your focus to your breath.
With each breath a sense of ease begins to settle within you.
As though the air itself is carrying away the weight of the day.
The day is over now and you deserve this rest slowly take a deep breath in through your nose filling your lungs completely.
And then exhale gently through your mouth.
Imagine any tension flowing out with it,
Dissolving into nothing.
Again.
Breathe in deeply.
And as you exhale.
Allow your body to soften even more.
Now we'll begin a deep soothing release of tension through your body.
Starting at the top of your head.
Imagine a soft warm light touching it.
It is gentle.
Slowly moving down.
Smoothing away any tension in your forehead.
Your scalp.
Temples.
Feel the tiny muscles in your brow.
And around your eyes loosen and relax.
Eyelids grow heavier.
As if they are softly melting into place.
Let this soothing sensation flow into your cheeks and jaw if there is any tightness.
Simply allow it to dissolve.
Your lips part slightly.
And your breath flows easily.
Naturally.
Bring your awareness to your neck and shoulders.
Let them soften.
Releasing any weight you have been carrying.
Imagine the tension melting away.
Like the last rays of sunlight.
Dissolving into the evening sky.
Your shoulders become.
Heavy.
Loose.
At ease.
The relaxation moves down through your arms.
Past your elbows.
And into your wrists.
And all the way to your fingertips.
Feel each finger release any remaining tension.
Growing warm and still.
Shift your focus to your chest.
The gentle,
Warm light surrounds you.
And with every breath.
Your body sinks deeper.
To relaxation.
Your heartbeat is slow and steady.
A quiet rhythm guiding you into peace.
Let any tightness in your chest dissolve.
Making space for comfort and ease.
Now your stomach softens.
There is nothing to hold on to here.
Simply let go.
Feel the muscles in your back relax.
Lingering tension.
Fading away.
Your entire torso is warm,
Weightless,
Completely at rest.
Moving down to your hips.
Allow them to sink deeper into the surface beneath you.
Any tightness fades as your legs grow heavier.
More relaxed.
Now.
Feel the sensation travelling through your thighs.
Your knees.
Your calves.
All the way to your ankles and feet.
There is nothing left to hold on to.
Every part of you is at ease.
Surrounded by peace.
Now.
Simply rest in this deep sense of relaxation.
Your breath is slow and soft.
Your body is completely relaxed.
Your mind is quiet and still.
Sleep is close now.
Gently wrapping around you.
Your sleep will be healing.
Rejuvenating.
Peaceful.

Sleep.
