With your eyes closed and ready to embrace sleep,
Find a comfortable position to relax.
Take a deep breath in and breathe out slowly to signal your body and mind that all is well.
Once again,
Breathe in and breathe out.
Yes,
All is well.
Visualize yourself standing at an upstairs window,
Looking out over a charming town at night as the twinkling lights begin to go out one by one.
As the town moves toward slumber,
You notice you are ready to embrace sleep as well.
You turn toward your comfortable bed,
A flickering candle on the nightstand nearby.
Crawling into bed,
You snuggle under your covers.
You blow out the candle and sink deeply into the surface supporting you.
Take another deep breath in and as you breathe out,
Your body begins to release and relax.
Release even deeper and even deeper.
Begin to feel a deep sense of relaxation arise at the crown of your head.
Allow deep and comforting relaxation to spread from your crown to cover and soothe your entire scalp.
Feel deep relaxation softly embrace your forehead,
Eyes,
Cheeks,
Mouth and jaw.
Your entire head is deeply relaxed.
Now feel relaxation move into your neck and down into your shoulders.
Feel relaxation sink deep into your shoulders as the muscles of your shoulders release and soften completely.
Feel relaxation ease into your arms moving to the elbows,
Forearms,
Wrists,
Hands and fingers.
Feel the weight of your arms as the muscles are now so deeply relaxed.
Feel relaxation embrace your chest and upper back.
Feel relaxation move into your stomach,
Abdomen and lower back.
Feel all the core muscles release as relaxation softens your entire core.
Feel every aspect of your core soften and relax into a deep and soothing calmness.
Now moving into your hips,
Take another deep breath in and breathe out as you feel deepest relaxation embrace and soothe your hips.
Now feel relaxation move into your thighs.
Feel relaxation move slowly down through your knees,
Soothing and comforting your knees.
Moving into your calves now,
Soothing and comforting your calves and relaxing your ankles,
Feet and toes.
Feel all the leg muscles soften and release as they are bathed in relaxation.
Breathe deeply as your entire body lets go and is enveloped in a sense of deepest relaxation.
Feel relaxation from the crown of your head all the way down to your toes.
Feel the heaviness of your body now as you sink even deeper into relaxation.
Feel yourself drifting deeper and deeper into sensations of peace and calm.
Feel your body now so deeply relaxed that it begins to embrace sleep.
May peace and wellbeing surround you as you drift off into deep restorative peaceful sleep.
May peace and wellbeing surround you as you drift off into deep restorative peaceful sleep.
