Held By The Night: Extended 8 Hour Music

Allow your body to rest fully supported by the surface beneath you.

Take a slow breath in through the nose and let it flow out gently.

There is no need to change anything.

Just notice the feeling of being here.

Now imagine the night as a soft protective presence around you.

Picture it like a wide dark blue space,

Calm and still,

Wrapping gently around your body.

It feels quiet and safe like stepping into a place where nothing can reach you.

As you breathe,

Sense this night space holding you from all sides.

Beneath you it feels solid and steady.

Around you it feels soft and enclosing like a warm cocoon.

Above you it stretches endlessly,

Spacious and calm.

You are fully contained within it,

Supported in every direction.

If there is any tension in your body,

Imagine it slowly dissolving into the night like warmth melting into cool air.

The night absorbs it effortlessly,

Without judgement or resistance.

There is room for everything to soften here.

Picture yourself resting at the centre of this quiet space.

Nothing pulls at you.

Nothing asks for your attention.

The night remains still and watchful,

Holding you gently as your breathing slows and your awareness grows quieter.

The longer you stay here,

The more settled you feel.

The sense of being held becomes clearer,

Deeper,

More reassuring.

You don't need to stay aware.

You don't need to listen closely.

You can let yourself drift,

Knowing the night will remain around you,

Steady and protective as you rest or fall asleep.
