Settle into a comfortable position and allow your body to become still.
Take one slow breath in through the nose and release it gently.
Now imagine yourself standing at the entrance of a garden at night.
The air is cool and calm.
The moon hangs softly above,
Casting a gentle silver light.
As you begin to walk,
Notice how slow your steps are.
There is no rush here.
The path unfolds easily beneath your feet.
The garden is quiet.
You hear only the soft sounds of the night,
Leaves,
The distant hum of stillness,
Moonlight touches everything gently,
The trees,
The flowers,
The ground beneath you.
With each step,
Your body relaxes a little more.
Your breathing becomes softer.
Your thoughts begin to fade into the background.
You come to a place in the garden that feels especially peaceful.
You stop here.
This is where you rest.
Feel the earth beneath you,
Steady and supportive.
Feel the night air around you,
Cool and kind.
Nothing is expected of you,
Nothing is missing.
You are exactly where you need to be.
Let the quiet settle inside you.
Let the garden hold you.
Let the moonlight soften every place within you that feels tired.
And when you are ready,
You can simply remain here resting,
Breathing,
Allowing sleep to come naturally.
