Welcome dear soul to releasing somewhere in the universe,
This sleep induction gently releases the weight of your day while guiding you into deep cosmic rest as you drift somewhere in the universe.
Settle into your comfortable position now,
Allowing your body to sink,
Allowing the bed to hold you,
Allowing this moment to become a doorway into rest,
A doorway into deep restorative sleep.
There is nowhere you need to be,
Nothing you need to accomplish,
Nothing left to carry,
Just this breath,
This body,
This soft sacred pause at the end of the day.
As you settle,
Let the entire day begin to loosen its hold on you,
Let it fade at the edges,
Like light dissolving into twilight.
If something went well today,
Give that moment some gratitude and let it go.
If something didn't go so well,
Give it a moment of understanding and let it go,
Nothing to hang on to,
Just letting go.
If somebody crossed a boundary or spoke sharply or brought their energy into your space,
Offer them forgiveness now,
Not for them but just so you can rest.
If you made mistakes,
Were tired,
Reactive or simply weren't at your best,
Send yourself kindness,
You did what you could,
Release yourself.
If good fortune touched you today,
Even in the smallest way,
Give thanks to your guides,
Give thanks to your soul,
Give thanks to your path,
The soft ground beneath you that has carried you safely home through another rotation around the sun.
Now bring your awareness to your forehead,
Notice any tightness lingering there,
And let it melt,
Melt,
Let it melt.
Let the eyes soften,
Let the space between the eyebrows widen,
Let every tiny muscle in the face surrender,
Let your tongue drop to the bottom of your mouth,
A simple signal of your nervous system saying everything is ok.
Relax your jaw,
Your cheeks,
Your temples,
Let the back of your head grow heavier,
As if sinking an inch deeper into the pillow,
Your shoulders soften,
Let gravity take them down,
Down.
Feel the arms softening,
The palms open,
The fingers loosening,
As tension drips out of the hands like water from an open tap,
Let the chest widen as the arms are unforced,
Let the belly soften,
Let the hips loosen,
Let the whole lower body melt into stillness,
Relaxing the thighs,
The calves,
The ankles,
And finally the toes,
Each one unwinding,
Unravelling,
From the ground of your head to the tips of your toes,
Your body is becoming weightless and warm,
As if floating in a gentle pool of the night,
Now imagine that your breath is no longer something you have to manage,
The universe has begun breathing with you,
Feel a vast gentle presence around you,
A cosmic rhythm,
Slow and tidal,
As if the stars themselves have placed their hands around your body,
You don't need to breathe now,
You are being breathed,
When the universe expands,
Your inhale arrives effortlessly,
Soft,
Spacious,
Like drifting through nebula,
When the universe contracts,
Your exhale is guided outwards,
Slow,
Easy,
As if the night sky is sweeping through the inside of your ribs,
You are being held,
You are being sustained,
You are safe to surrender,
Let this cosmic breath rock you deeper and deeper,
Into stillness,
Now imagine you are floating in the quietest place in existence,
Somewhere in the universe,
Where time is slow and everything is peaceful,
A place where you are suspended in the soft glow of distant stardust,
A place where nothing can reach you,
A place where nothing can disturb you,
A place where nothing can ask anything from you,
You drift through this gentle darkness,
Filled with tiny shimmering lights,
Each star breathing with you,
Each star guiding you,
Taking you deeper and deeper into rest,
You feel the body dissolving,
Dissolving into the space around you,
As if you are becoming light,
Becoming air,
Becoming pure softness,
Here there is no past,
There is no tomorrow,
No responsibilities,
Here there is only floating and drifting,
This exquisite quiet,
You are somewhere in the universe,
Somewhere you finally belong,
You belong to the night,
Your breath slows,
Your thoughts drift,
Your entire being begins to hum,
With a deep spacious calm,
Now imagine a gentle pull,
Like gravity softening you,
Drawing you downwards,
Into deeper rest,
You are sinking into warmth,
You are sinking into silence,
Into the velvety dark of pure sleep,
Every breath pulls you further,
Every pause holds you safely,
Every exhale releases more of you,
Into the dream realm you are drifting now,
Slowly,
Softly,
Beautifully,
Your mind has become quiet,
Your body has become heavy,
Your energy has become still,
You are ready,
Ready to carry your rest all the way now,
Let your subconscious mind say these words,
I soften,
I surrender,
I let go of the day,
I release all tension now,
My breath is slow and easy,
My mind is quiet and open,
My body is heavy with peace,
I am floating into sleep,
I am safe to rest,
I am safe to let go,
Everything can wait until the morning,
Sleep is coming over me now,
I welcome deep rest,
I welcome deep dreams,
I welcome deep peace,
I drift,
I float,
I fall softly into sleep,
Let yourself go completely now,
Falling gently,
Falling quietly,
Falling effortlessly into deep restorative sleep,
You are somewhere in the universe now,
Rest deeply dear soul,
When you come back in the morning,
You will feel revitalised,
Renewed and ready for the day,
Blessings,
Blessings,
Blessings,
Drift,
Float,
Fall softly into sleep,
Drift,
Float,
Fall softly into sleep,
Drift,
Float,
