Hello my love.

Welcome to this experience of deep rest.

My name is Tina Bruce and we're going to find a space now to lie down,

Find a bed or a yoga mat on the floor and create some comfort,

A pillow,

A blanket.

Set yourself up as we take this journey together to restore our energy and call out for deep rest.

I know how hard we work.

I know how some days can feel like too much.

I know that you push yourself.

I know the pressure that you place on your weary heart.

I know the pain in your body.

I know the worrying that keeps you up at night.

I know the exhaustion that only comes from forgetting who you really are.

I know that disconnect.

I know it well.

And I know there's only one way to get it back.

There's only one way to come home and that is to stop,

To slow down,

To shut out distractions,

External noise,

Busyness and doing.

It's time to return to being.

It's time to return to soul.

Deep rest is more than just relaxing.

Deep rest is a commitment to honour the biggest part of you,

The invisible part of you,

Your expansive spirit and your true nature.

I know that feeling of not being able to take a full deep breath.

So let's start there.

Let's begin with a breath.

Breathing in through your nose.

Fill your lungs with air and fill all the way up to the top of your chest and hold and then empty it out,

Letting it all go.

Just let it all go.

And again,

Breathe in to fill your entire chest,

Your entire belly and then soften.

Let it go.

That's right.

Remembering how to breathe.

Feel this life force re-enter your nose as you breathe and sense the aliveness return with every breath as we consciously now tell our bodies that it's safe to relax.

You're safe to be here with nothing to do except rest and breathe.

And as you lie here,

Can you scan your body from head to toe and just notice where is the tension living?

Is there any pain?

Is there any tightness?

And on your next breath,

Can you send the exhale to that place?

Send it there to dissolve and melt.

We see you.

I see you.

I see your pain and we're going to set it free.

I see the days when the energy drains and we're going to call it home now.

We're going to bring it all back.

So notice your body now and imagine as if you are hovering above your body that you can see in your mind's eye,

Your beautiful body lying peacefully on the ground or the mattress.

And imagine that you're holding a golden sweep just like you sweep the ground,

This magical sweep.

As you brush it across your body,

Down the sides and over the top that we are blowing away any dust,

Any congestion,

Any tightness in the space around you.

We're sweeping it clean as if we're preparing this sacred body for a ritual of returning to deep rest that we can imagine this golden sweep electrifying and clearing out any lower vibrations around your field.

Just sweep it away.

And now,

Bring my hands to the crown of your head.

As you lie here,

Imagine that my hands are cradling the crown of your head now.

You can feel the warmth of my palms touching the hair on your head,

Radiating a warm sensation on top of your skull,

On this beautiful place of your body which has a holy connection,

Which had a soft spot on it when you were a baby,

A soft portal if you like to this source of power which comes from an infinite field of oneness and pours down into your skull,

Into your crown.

Your skull may have closed over,

But all the portal is still very much open.

And we start here as a point to refuel you,

To fill you up with power,

With this invisible power.

Every breath that you take in,

You feel this heat and this connection with the palms of my hands becoming stronger on top of your head.

Like I'm warming it up for an experience of letting go.

Very gently now you can imagine that my hands are moving down towards your forehead,

Just like I'm clasping the sides of your head and that my fingertips are joining at the center of your forehead.

You feel this halo around your head and I'm absorbing any worry,

Any thoughts that are repetitively causing you harm.

I take them away with my hands,

Letting the thoughts move freely now,

Away from your body,

Away from your head.

And as I sweep my hands down the sides of your head and flick them away,

We release any of that pain.

In one flick it's gone.

Continue breathing deeply.

Now that we have this beautiful opening in your head,

Imagine a ball of light moving down so it's sitting right in the middle of your head,

Inside your skull,

Softening,

Skin on your face,

Your eyes,

Nose,

Your mouth,

Your lips,

Your tongue relaxed,

Jaw unclenched,

Ears relaxed,

Your whole head relaxed by this light.

And as it moves further down now,

The light makes its way into your windpipe,

Around your neck as it hovers here,

Clearing out any congestion in your throat,

Any obstruction.

Any times that you wanted to get the words out but you couldn't.

Any time that you needed to speak up but you held it in.

Any urge to yell and be heard.

Let this light resolve it all.

Let it open your throat space so communication can come freely so that you can express everything contained in your heart.

Your neck is relaxed now.

Your throat is clear.

Your windpipe is hollow.

And now as this light travels down,

It settles past your collar bones and into the center of your chest.

And right here it doubles in size and all of a sudden it is powering up your heart space,

Your emotional center.

This is where you create your feelings from.

Feel it expand,

Feel the frequency of the heart chakra,

The field around you,

This intuitive part of you.

Feel its power zone emanate.

And as you breathe in,

It gets bigger and bigger.

Pushing out any of the lower vibrational feelings.

Taking away the pain of suppressed emotion and saying it's okay now.

It's okay for you to feel.

Let it go.

Let it all go.

We are moving towards deep rest.

And now this healing light moves down towards your belly.

Feel a warmth spread from your belly button up and out and around your trunk.

You can relax your stomach now.

There are times when we hold on to life.

We hold on in our belly.

We guard.

We armor up.

We resist.

Well,

You don't need to resist anymore.

Let your belly relax.

All is welcome here to find the freedom to let it move again like a wave.

Let the organs soften.

Let them rest.

This is your space of rest and digest.

This is why we're here.

To let the inner work happen.

In stillness and in rest,

Our inner world can move again.

Let the life force,

Your circulation,

The oxygen find its way through all of your organs again.

Restoring oxygen,

Nutrients,

Bringing balance back to all your systems,

Your engines,

Battery packs.

All these parts of you inside that keep you alive.

Let them rest.

And now this light,

Let it move down to your pelvis.

Let it open up this zone of creation.

Let it soften your hips,

The sacrum,

The entire pelvic bowl.

Let the hip sockets relax.

See the hardness of the bones.

Just melt into the fluid nature of your energy body.

And as you breathe in,

Can you imagine this light now traveling down your thighs,

Moving down towards your knees and hovering here at the knee joints.

These knees that carry you forward.

Let's let them rest.

And let us also acknowledge the tension in the knees that exists because you hold yourself back.

What are you holding yourself back from?

Where do you sit on the fence?

Where do you resist and keep yourself small?

What are you afraid of becoming?

Why don't you want to move forward?

And let your knees restore some balance so they too can find freedom in moving you forward in life.

Your knees will move you in the direction that your soul wants to go.

And as you breathe in again now,

This light moves down your shins to your ankles.

And letting it travel all the way down to hug your feet,

The tops of your feet,

Your heels,

Your toes and the soles of your feet.

Can you feel a sensation on the soles of your feet?

And what needs to be restored here?

Are you bringing your spirit all the way down your body through your feet to the earth?

Are you fully expressing your spirit in this physical form?

Let's make that happen.

Let's bring the energy down through the soles of the feet so that you can see that you're the vessel for creation.

You are the vessel for transforming thought into form.

You are the vessel for transforming an idea into reality.

And you do this through your feet.

The power coming out the soles of the feet as you sense source working its way through you again.

You can feel it turn on much like a tap or a hose.

That you are unobstructed and you belong on this earth and all of your gifts.

Let your feet earth themselves into this planet.

Let them create footsteps and a pathway for your fullest expression.

To be unafraid.

To be on this earth in your fullest power.

Let's restore that to balance.

This is a time for deep rest.

And now,

Now that this light has touched every cell in your body,

It's lit you up.

And it's lifted you up.

You can completely let yourself stay here.

And fall gently asleep knowing that your quantum nature is communicating to the infinite field of potential.

Your whole self.

Bringing to you in your sleep your deepest desires as you surrender.

So right now,

Can you surrender a little more?

I surrender.

Let your divine nature take over now.

Let your physical body completely rest.

You are free to rest.

This was an experience of deep rest.

And now,

Let your soul rest.

Let your body rest.

Let your mind rest.

Let your mind rest.

Let your soul find freedom in this natural state.

As you lie here,

With love,

Compassion and acceptance,

We say Namaste.

Thank you.
