Find a position where your body can fully rest,
Without needing to adjust or improve anything.
Allow the surface beneath you to carry your weight.
If it feels comfortable,
Let your eyes close and take a slow breath in.
Then release it gently.
You don't need to arrive anywhere.
You are already here.
Begin by noticing how tired your body may feel.
Not judging or evaluating it.
Simply recognizing that effort has been spent.
The body understands this.
It knows when it is time to rest.
You do not need to explain anything.
Let your awareness move slowly through the body,
Sensing areas that feel heavy,
Dull,
Or worn.
There's no need to release tension intentionally.
Recovery does not require effort.
It begins the moment effort stops.
Now imagine the night around you as wide and quiet.
The space feels open,
Still,
And unhurried.
Time moves differently here.
Nothing is rushing you forward.
Nothing is pulling at your attention.
Picture yourself resting in this open night space.
The ground beneath you is steady and cool,
Supporting you fully.
The air is calm and neutral,
Neither warm nor cold,
Allowing the body to settle naturally.
There is a sense of distance between you and everything you have been carrying.
With each breath out,
Imagine the body beginning to repair itself in small,
Natural ways.
Systems recalibrate.
Muscles soften.
The mind loosens its grip.
If the mind feels tired or overworked,
Allow it to become quiet without forcing silence.
Thoughts can slow,
Stretch or fade.
You do not need clarity right now.
You do not need insight.
The mind is allowed to rest just as deeply as the body.
This is a place of recovery,
A place where nothing is asked of you,
Where effort is unnecessary.
Where healing happens quietly in the background while you rest.
Your breath becomes slower.
Your awareness grows softer.
You may drift in and out of sleep.
Whatever happens is enough.
The night continues to hold this space for you,
Wide and patient,
As recovery unfolds in its own time.
