Deep sleep preparation just take a moment to adjust your position so that your body feels supported nothing false nothing perfect just comfortable enough and as you settle notice the simple act of arriving here this is your turning point between the day and the night between doing and resting between carrying and letting go let the breath come in at its own pace and let it leave even slower every exhale a small surrender every inhale a soft invitation to ease and start by feeling the weight of your body notice how the surface beneath you holds you without asking for anything in return let yourself be supported let yourself lean into that support a little more and a little more now imagine a slow wave of warmth spreading across your feet like a gentle tide washing over the shore it doesn't run,
It doesn't push,
It just arrives and softens everything it touches as the wave begins to drift upward across the ankles loosening at any tightness before you even notice it's there the legs grow heavier as though gravity has dialed itself up just for you encouraging your muscles to release,
Surrender and rest feel that same warmth rise into the hips and the lower back quietly melting tension that's been holding you up right all day now imagine those areas widening,
Opening,
Finding a little more room with each breath your stomach softens your ribs loosen the chest becomes spacious like it can finally expand without effort breathing becomes smoother slower your whole torso settling into a rhythm that feels instinctive and ancient the rhythm your body always returns to when it's safe enough to rest let the warmth drift into your shoulders now this is where people carry far more than they realize worries,
Conversations,
Old stories the what-ifs feel all of that begin to loosen as if your shoulders are quietly sliding down and away from your ears your arms grow heavy comfortable floaty but weighted at the same time your hands soften fingers relax their grip on the day any emotional residue just trickles out through the fingertips like sand through an open palm and let your awareness move to the back of your neck place that tries to keep your head held high even when you're tired imagine warm hands or soft light easing this area lengthening,
Soothing dissolving tightness your jaw loosens your tongue rests the tiny muscles around your eyes soften your forehead smooth your whole face becomes calm,
Quiet,
Peaceful like it's settling into its natural,
Restful state and now as your body continues to soften on its own your mind begins to follow inside your thought,
Repeat gently I am safe enough in this moment my body knows how to rest I can let the night carry me let those words echo quietly no pressure just invitations your system knows exactly what to do with them with every breath the edges of the day blur and drift away there's nothing left to soul there's nothing left to hold you've reached a moment where rest becomes the only job you have and your body is already doing it for you imagine now a soft descent like sinking slowly into warm water or a bed that molds perfectly to your shape or clouds gathering beneath you thick and supple with each breath feel yourself drifting deeper into stillness deeper into comfort deeper into the quiet place inside you that the world can't touch you might feel yourself floating or floating or sinking or simply becoming heavier and heavier whatever you feel is exactly right and let your mind wander gently if a thought appears let it drift past like a feather carried on a breeze you don't have to follow it you don't have to do anything with it just let it pass your breath continues to slow and your whole body resting in a deep warm heaviness these moments pulling you naturally towards sleep and as you drift you can tell yourself one last suggestion I give myself permission to rest fully tonight allow that permission to open a door inside you a door that leads straight into the quiet darkness where sleep begins there's nothing else required you can let go now your only task is to rest breathe and drift sleep will meet you in its own time and you're already halfway there you
