Finding a comfortable lying position.
Feeling totally supported and ready to relax the body.
Closing your eyes,
Relaxing your face muscles.
And starting to softly settle the body.
And as you start to invite softness to the muscles,
Allow your physical body to relax.
Letting go of any obvious tension or stress you're holding onto.
Allowing your breath to remain soft and relaxed too.
You're just staying with a natural breath.
Something that puts no pressure on the body.
A breath that calmly washes over the body.
And bring your focus inward.
Let go of thoughts that pull you into the past.
Let go of thoughts that pull you into the future.
And through softening of breath,
Body and mind.
You can start to relax.
Softening and relaxing in the toes and the feet.
Softening and relaxing through the ankles.
And gently relaxing through the calves and the knees.
Softening through the thighs and through the hips.
Through the glutes,
Start to soften and relax your lower body.
Relax and soften in your belly.
Maybe there's just a gentle rise and fall of your breath.
Maybe there's other tension in your abdomen that you can soften now.
Relax here.
Soften and relax up into the chest.
Soften and relax into the shoulders.
Allow your shoulders to melt into the floor beside the body.
Soften and relax into the arms,
The elbows,
The forearms and the wrists.
Relax all the way into the fingertips,
Through the palms,
Relax your hands.
Allowing the arms to feel soft,
Let them sink beside you.
Soften and relax.
Relaxing into the lower back.
Softening through the middle of the back and all the way up into the top of the back.
Let your back body rest and sink.
Soften and relax into the throat and the neck.
Soften and relax into the head and the face.
Soften in the forehead,
The cheeks,
The jaw.
Relax.
And as you allow your whole physical body to soften,
To relax.
Continue to let go of the stresses you hold onto.
Relaxing in the body.
Keeping the breath so soft and relaxing in the breath.
Keeping your attention inward.
Don't allow your thoughts to pull you back into the past or drag you into the future.
Just remain here and if you can,
Allow your thoughts and distractions to fade.
Relax your mind.
Relax your body.
Relax your breath.
And soften.
And in the soft space,
Start to gently tap into a real nice feeling of warmth through the body.
Use this feeling of warmth to rest and relax even deeper.
Softening through the face muscles.
Softening through the shoulders and down the arms.
Softening through the chest and to the belly and the hips.
And softening through the thighs and down the legs and to the toes.
Allowing your tired muscles to rest from a storm.
Allowing yourself to relax.
Following a few breaths here.
Not changing the breath,
Keeping it soft and natural,
Soft and sweet.
And just follow the sound of the breath,
The feel of the breath.
As you softly inhale.
As you softly exhale.
And tapping into the breath can be a really helpful place to focus,
Especially if the mind is wandering.
Just commit to the breath.
Commit to listening and honouring each soft inhale and each soft exhale.
Relaxing your body.
Relaxing your feet.
Relaxing your legs.
Relaxing your hands,
Relaxing your arms.
Relaxing your hips,
Your belly and your chest.
Relaxing your face.
Relaxing your head.
As you drift and you float.
Feeling soft.
Feeling rested.
Feeling free from stresses and tensions.
And mentally reminding yourself now to relax.
To let your body unwind.
Remind yourself to allow your mind to relax,
Your breath to relax.
As you gently make your way towards a more sleepy you.
And as you make your way towards this sleep state,
Acknowledge the freedom you feel.
Now that you have let go of those stresses and you have relaxed your body.
And continue to float towards this sleep space.
Feeling light and free.
Feeling light and free from the toes through the legs.
Light and free from the hips all the way up into the chest and the shoulders.
Feeling light and free from the fingertips all the way up the arms.
Feeling light and free through the head and face.
Relaxing.
Releasing.
And softening.
And as you honour this softness,
Choose to rest.
Choose to keep coming back to softness.
Continue to let go of that obvious stress you're holding that you no longer need to hold onto.
Take a mental note of how this feels in the body.
Remind yourself you have nowhere else to be and nothing else to do.
Here your focus is on relaxing.
So let us relax in the forehead and the cheeks and the jaw.
Let us relax through the throat and the neck.
Let us relax across the shoulders,
Down the arms into the wrists.
Let us relax across the palms into the fingertips.
Let us relax across the chest where we often hold our tension.
Let us relax down into the belly,
Across the hips.
Let us relax down the legs,
Through the knees,
All the way to the ankles.
Relaxing into the feet and the toes.
Relaxing through the entire body.
Softening through muscles and joints.
Relaxing in the breath,
Softening each inhale,
Each exhale.
And relaxing in the mind.
Letting go of unhelpful thoughts.
Softening through body,
Through breath,
Through mind.
Letting go of unhelpful thoughts.
Letting go of unhelpful thoughts.
Pure softness.
And as you continue to accept the softness,
As you continue to relax,
Come back into the breath as you listen to the natural rise and fall.
Maybe you connect with the soft movement that the breath is providing.
Tap into a longer breath if you can,
Inhaling and exhaling.
And allowing a few of these exhale breaths to encourage you to release anything you no longer need.
Anything you don't want to hold onto anymore.
And let this breath,
Allow each exhale breath to help you feel light,
To help you feel more free.
Continuing a few more of those breaths,
So,
So gently starting to become more aware of the breath and the body of your mind.
Where are your thoughts at?
And as you start to draw an awareness,
Start to tap into any feelings,
Any sensations in these moments.
And either choosing to relax for a little longer,
Or maybe you choose to start waking up the body now.
And do the way of reminding yourself to remain soft,
To keep floating your way towards relaxation,
Calm and softness.
Ready the breath.
Draw your awareness in.
Maybe you need a little longer.
Maybe you start to wake yourself up.
Either way continue to find softness.
Thank you.
