Hello,

My dear friends.

My name is Jacob and I'm really grateful to be here with you tonight.

If you've been worrying about the future lately,

You're not alone.

Maybe your mind's been spinning,

Trying to prepare for what might happen.

Trying to stay one step ahead,

Just in case.

This space we're stepping into together isn't just for falling asleep.

It's for letting go of the fear that's been weighing you down.

For quieting that anxious part of you that believes it has to figure it all out before you can rest.

Because the truth is,

Peace doesn't come from control.

It comes from letting go and presence.

And the moment you're in right now is a gift.

A pre-sent offering from the past,

Meant to be opened slowly,

Gently,

With presence.

And you're allowed to open it,

Without bracing for what comes next.

You've done enough for today.

Truly,

It is enough.

So,

Let this be your permission to soften,

To be held,

To return to the only place peace ever lives,

Right here,

Right now.

Just take a breath with me now,

Soft and steady.

No need to change anything,

Just notice.

Let your shoulders loosen,

Let your jaw unclench,

Let the space behind your eyes melt just a little,

And feel the rise and fall of your chest.

This rhythm has been here all day,

Even while the mind was busy.

But now,

We slow down enough to notice.

Bring your attention to your hands,

Then your belly,

Then your legs.

Let the weight of your body be held by whatever cradles you.

Let gravity do the work.

And if there's a part of you that has been trying to hold it all together.

The protector,

The planner,

The one who stays up late trying to figure it all out.

Gently let that part know.

It doesn't have to keep watch tonight.

Not here,

Not now.

This is your time to rest.

You're safe to release.

Sometimes,

The mind gets stuck in loops.

With questions such as,

What if this happens?

What if I never?

What if everything goes wrong?

And even though we know better,

The questions feel important,

Urgent,

Like maybe,

Just maybe.

If we think about them enough,

We'll be ready,

We'll be safe,

And spared.

But tonight,

I want to offer you something softer.

Something ancient and true.

The moment you are in,

Was sent to you.

It is the gift wrapped by yesterday.

That's why it's called the present.

The more we try to predict the future,

The more we miss the miracle of what's here.

The sound of your breath,

The quiet rhythm of your heart,

The way the night air feels against your skin.

What if this moment is enough?

What if this moment,

Right here,

Right now,

Is the only one that ever needed your attention?

Let's rest in that for a while.

There's a voice beyond the noise of the mind.

It doesn't shout,

Nor does it worry.

It simply speaks when we become still enough to listen.

And tonight,

It's whispering to you now,

From the earth beneath you,

From the stars above you,

From the part of you that remembers where you came from,

A message from your higher self and the gentle presence of the divine.

You were not made to carry tomorrow before it arrives.

You are not failing because you can't plan your way into peace.

You are human,

And the moment you are in is sacred.

Breathe that in for a moment.

The trees don't rush their blooming.

The moon doesn't fear her own waning.

The ocean doesn't try to hold the tide in place.

All of nature trusts the unfolding.

And you,

My friend,

Are part of that same great rhythm.

The same sacred design.

You don't have to try so hard to be ready.

Because let me tell you a little secret.

You already are.

Yes,

There may be days ahead with uncertainty.

Yes,

The world can feel heavy and unsure.

And yes,

Sometimes you wonder if you'll be alone forever.

But right now,

You are here.

Breathing,

Resting,

Held.

And when you soften into this presence,

When you truly let it in,

You begin to feel what the future could never promise.

Peace in this very breath.

So let the need to figure it all out fade for now.

Let the mind unclench its grip.

Let the illusion of control dissolve like mist in morning light.

You don't need to chase the future tonight.

Just feel the gift of now.

That's all that's being asked of you.

And if the fear returns,

Let it know it's not bad for being afraid.

It just forgot.

It forgot how deeply you are guided.

How protected you are.

How your life has been gently unfolding.

Even when it didn't seem like it.

You're not behind,

Nor are you lost.

You are right on time.

The present is the only place your soul has ever needed to be.

So stay here with me,

Love.

We'll rest in it together.

In the quiet hum of now.

Let it hold you.

Let it carry you.

Let it be enough.

No need to reach forward anymore.

No need to look back.

This moment,

This breath is all that's ever been asked of you.

And as your body continues to soften,

Your mind begins to let go.

You can simply drift deeper and deeper into rest.

Let these words fall gently into the space around you.

Like starlight settling on still water.

You don't need to repeat them.

Just let them echo in the quiet places within.

I am safe to rest.

I am guided even when I don't know where I'm going.

I trust the rhythm of my life.

I am not late,

Nor am I lost.

I am right where I need to be.

This moment is enough.

This breath is enough.

I am enough.

I release the weight of tomorrow.

I am connected to something greater than myself.

I trust that what is meant for me will arrive in perfect timing.

I surrender the need to control.

I am worthy of peace.

I am being guided even now.

I trust in the timing of my life.

The present is a gift and I am unwrapping it slowly,

Gently,

Fully.

As you drift now into stillness,

Into dreams,

Feel how light you've become.

How quiet.

How deeply your soul has been longing to rest right here.

The future can wait.

The past has already passed.

And you,

You are free to sleep in the arms of now.

Let the night carry you.

Let the stars keep watch.

And let your spirit soften into peace in the gift of this moment.

Good night,

My friend.

You are so held.

Good night.
