As you settle in to rest,
Notice you have arrived.
There is nowhere to go.
Nothing to achieve.
This moment is enough.
You are enough.
So breathe in deeply.
Letting the air settle within you.
And breathe out slowly,
Releasing everything you no longer need.
Okay,
Again,
Breathe in.
Feeling the inhale around you.
Excellent,
And breathe out.
Surrendering to stillness.
Breathing in.
I arrive in this moment.
Breathing out.
I let go of all effort.
Allowing your body to sink.
To be held.
To rest completely.
To bring awareness to your body.
The weight of it.
The way it's generally supported.
Now softly scan your body from head to toe.
Notice where tension lingers.
Not to fix it,
But simply to see it.
Hold it.
And allow it to soften.
To breathe in.
Offering awareness to your body.
Breathe out.
Allowing each part of you to unwind.
Your forehead smooths.
Your jaw releases.
Your shoulders let go.
Your hands relax completely.
Your belly softens.
Your legs feel light.
Free of tension.
Your feet rest with ease.
There is no need to hold yourself together.
Right now.
You're free to unravel.
So breathing in,
I relax my body.
And breathing out,
I dissolve into rest.
Now turn your attention to your breath.
There is nothing to control,
Nothing to force.
Just let it flow.
Let it flow.
Soft and natural.
Like waves gently arriving at the shore.
Then retreating.
Like the rhythm of the wind through the trees.
Your breath is effortless,
Steady.
Always here.
Breathing in.
I feel the air move through me.
Breathing out.
I let myself drift deeper.
Notice how your breath slows on its own.
How peace is already within you.
With each inhale,
You receive rest.
With each exhale,
You release yourself.
Peace,
Always striving.
Breathing in.
I am here.
Breathing in.
I am here.
Breathing out.
I truly let go.
So letting go of the day.
If thoughts appear,
Greet them.
Like old friends passing through.
There is no need to fight them.
There is no need to chase them.
See them as clouds floating in the sky.
Coming,
Going,
Dissolving.
But never touching the vast stillness of who you are.
Breathing in.
I see my thoughts.
Breathing out.
I let them pass like clouds.
If anything from today lingers,
An unfinished task,
A restless worry,
Imagine placing it into a quiet river,
Watching it float away,
Carried effortlessly by time.
The past is gone.
The future has not yet arrived.
All that exists is this time.
Breathing in.
I rest in the present.
Breathing out.
I am free.
Okay,
Let's do that again.
Breathing in.
I rest in the present.
Breathing out.
I am truly free.
Now,
Imagine yourself in a peaceful place.
This could be a forest bathed in soft moonlight.
A quiet river.
A still lake reflecting the night sky.
A warm field beneath the stars.
Feel the gentle embrace of the night around you,
Holding you in.
There is nothing to do.
Nothing to figure out.
Only the breath.
I surrender to stillness.
Breathing out.
I drift into deep rest.
Breathing in.
I truly surrender to stillness.
And breathing out.
I truly drift into deep rest.
Into deep,
Deep rest.
Now,
All that remains is silence.
Stillness.
The soft rhythm of your breath.
Sleep is here.
You are at home.
Breathing one last time.
Soft and deep.
And exhale,
Letting go completely.
You are loved.
You are safe.
Rest now.
Good night.
