Hello,
Sweet friend.
I am grateful you're here.
Welcome to this end-of-day reboot,
Whether it's after a long day at work,
A trying day at school,
Or a full day being at home.
Don't underestimate the power of taking time for you.
You have given so much of yourself today.
It may be through work,
Caring for others,
Or simply navigating the rhythm of daily life.
Now this is your time to pause,
To breathe,
And to receive.
The day may not be over,
But in this space,
You're invited to gently release the weight you've been carrying and reclaim your inner peace.
I'm here for you.
Take a deep breath,
Pause for a moment,
And then slowly exhale,
Releasing the breath.
Let's set an intention for our time together.
Choose one that resonates with you today and silently repeat it to yourself three times.
I allow myself to release and renew.
Or I create space within for peace and balance.
Or simply,
I am restored.
I allow myself to release and renew.
Or I create space within for peace and balance.
Or simply,
I am restored.
I allow myself to release and renew.
Or I create space within for peace and balance.
Or simply,
I am restored.
Engaging our senses,
Let's bring our awareness to the physical body.
Feel the body resting.
Feel the points of contact with the surface beneath you.
Supporting your body.
Allowing the body to feel safe,
Secure,
And at ease.
Allowing the body to relax.
Naturally,
Normal breath in,
Normal breath out.
As you inhale,
What do you smell?
The sweet scents of your home?
Aromas of something simmering on the stove?
Or perhaps the fragrance of blooms blowing in the breeze,
Entering an open window.
Now bring your awareness to your ears.
The right ear listening.
The left ear listening.
Listening to the sounds all around you.
The sounds within your space.
Can you hear the sounds at a distance?
Cars passing by.
An airplane flying overhead.
Wind blowing.
Birds outside.
Now bring your awareness to the sounds inside your space.
The comforting and familiar sounds of your home.
The ticking of the clock.
The dog breathing or scratching.
Perhaps the dryer running.
Now bring your awareness to the sounds of your body.
The digestive tract relaxing.
The heart beating.
The lungs breathing.
Normal breath in,
Normal breath out.
Bring your awareness back to the physical body.
The feet resting.
Right foot.
Left foot.
Letting go of the tension from today.
The right leg.
Both hips.
Pelvis.
The ribcage.
The chest.
Shoulders.
Right arm.
Left arm.
Both arms together.
The wrists.
The right hand.
The left hand.
Both hands relaxing.
Resting deeply with ease.
The heart center.
Releasing whatever is no longer needed.
Making space.
Transitioning into ease.
Shoulders.
Letting go of the stress from the day.
The neck.
The chin.
The upper lip.
The lower lip.
Releasing the root of the tongue.
Letting go of the words that were said.
And the unsaid.
The nose.
The lips.
The right cheekbone.
The left cheekbone.
The eyes softening.
The brows.
The forehead.
The temples.
Letting go of tension.
The crown of the head.
Releasing the stress from the day.
Embracing the stillness and quieting of the mind.
In your mind's eye,
Imagine yourself resting comfortably on a soft supportive surface.
Like a warm blanket of earth beneath you.
Visualize a tender golden light.
Like a soft hand beginning at the crown of your head.
Gently massaging away any tension you may feel.
This nurturing light moves slowly down your forehead.
Easing around your eyes,
Your jaw,
Your neck.
It flows across your shoulders and arms.
Soothing away any aches or heaviness.
Your back softens.
Your chest expands with ease.
Your belly relaxes.
And your legs feel grounded and soothed.
Each breath carries the golden warmth deeper into your muscles.
Dissolving the fatigue of the day and restoring your body's natural ease.
Abiding in pure awareness.
Allowing the release of stress and tension.
Letting the mind,
Body,
And spirit to renew.
Creating space within for peace and balance.
Honoring the deep need for restoration and self-care.
Taking this time for you.
Allowing your body to release all the stress of the day.
And find the deep inner peace that is present deep within.
As you rise from this moment of care,
Carry with you a lightness of being.
A calm strength within.
Know that you have replenished your spirit and created a peaceful bridge between the demands of the day.
.
.
And the sacred quiet of the evening ahead.
You are balanced.
You are renewed.
And you move forward with ease and grace.
Enjoy your evening,
Sweet friend.
Until next time,
Just breathe.
