Welcome,
This is your time to let go,
To stop doing,
Solving,
Fixing and simply begin to rest.
Lying down now in a comfortable position,
Gently allowing your eyes to close,
Allowing your arms to fall naturally to your sides,
Your legs feel heavy,
Your jaw soft,
No need to hold anything now,
Take a slow easy breath in and exhale with a little sigh,
Letting the day start to melt away,
Again inhale gently through the nose,
Hold it for a moment and let the breath fall out of your mouth like a wave receding from the shore,
Tonight we're going to float,
You don't need to steer,
You don't need to try,
You will be carried,
Begin to imagine that you're beside a slow wide river,
It's perfectly safe here,
The sky is painted with soft dusk light,
You hear evening birds in the distance,
The warm glow of the setting sun reflects on calm water,
Feel the soft grass beneath you as you take a step closer,
A gentle breeze brushes across your skin,
You dip a foot in the water,
It's warm and comforting,
You step gently in,
Feeling yourself supported,
Effortless,
The water welcomes you,
The current moves slowly with care,
You lean back,
Your body weightless and you float,
Let every muscle loosen,
As if the river is holding you perfectly,
You are safe,
Notice the way the water feels against your skin,
The subtle sounds of rippling water,
The quiet hum of night creatures beginning their song,
And if any thought rises,
Just imagine placing it gently on a small leaf and watching it float downstream until it disappears,
No need to hold anything now,
Every worry,
Every unfinished thought,
The river knows where to take it,
It's all being taken care of,
With each slow breath you drift deeper into rest,
Your arms heavy and still,
Your body completely supported,
You don't have to try,
You're not in charge tonight,
If anything shows up,
A sound,
A thought,
Even the feeling of drifting off,
Let it dissolve into the river,
You are not that thought,
You are the one being carried,
This is your time to rest,
No expectations,
No decisions,
Only the gentle pull of the river,
The calm rhythm of your breath,
And the quiet comfort of knowing you are safe and held,
With every passing moment you float a little deeper,
Becoming lighter,
As if your body is part of the water itself,
The river carries you softly,
Safely,
Silently,
There's nothing more to do,
No more effort,
Just rest,
Just letting go,
And if sleep comes,
Let it arrive naturally,
Like a soft wave moving you into dreams.
