Find a position that asks nothing of you.
The surface beneath you holds the full weight of the body.
A breath moves in slowly and releases.
The neck muscles begin to relax.
The jaw softens.
Allow yourself to settle a little more with each breath out.
Notice a gentle warmth at the heart center and allow that sensation to spread slowly through the chest.
Each inhale brings a quiet sense of ease.
Each exhale carries the day a little further away.
Your awareness begins to move inward now and you can feel a wave of gentle ease move through the entire body.
Allow your thoughts to move through you,
Just allowing them to pass.
With each breath,
Awareness opens a little more,
The mind relaxes and you allow yourself to go deeper into this experience.
The body knows this place.
It knows exactly how to let go.
Allow yourself to receive that now.
Deeper with each breath,
Easier with each exhale,
Steady and calm,
Moving slowly through the chest,
Through the shoulders,
Through the arms,
Into the hands,
All the way down through the body,
Into a deep and natural stillness.
You've done enough today.
Rest now.
Let tomorrow take care of itself.
With each breath you go deeper,
More relaxed,
More at ease,
Just allowing yourself to drift into deep,
Natural sleep.
