You've arrived at a sacred pause,
A gentle doorway between the waking world and the world of dreams.
Let the rhythm of the day begin to dissolve,
All the thoughts,
The movement,
The noise.
You may lay them down now,
Like setting down a heavy backpack you've carried long enough.
Tonight is not about doing,
It is about receiving.
Receiving rest,
Receiving clarity,
Receiving the quiet gifts that only come when you are still.
So,
Slowly,
Begin to bring your awareness inward.
There is nowhere to be but here,
Nothing to be except exactly who you are in this moment.
Allow yourself to get comfortable,
Adjust your pillow,
Shift your position,
Pull the blankets around you in a way that feels most nurturing.
Feel yourself cradled by your bed,
As if the earth itself is holding you.
And now,
Let your breath be your anchor,
Take a slow,
Soft inhale through your nose,
Filling Let go,
Let go of effort,
Let go of striving,
Let go of what didn't happen today and of what tomorrow may bring.
Take another deep breath in and,
As you exhale this time,
Allow your entire body to release tension.
Feel your shoulders fall,
Feel your jaw loosen and let your eyes rest behind your closed lids.
You are safe to rest,
You are safe to relax and you are safe to drift into the nourishing stillness of sleep.
As your body relaxes,
Imagine a soft golden light descending from above.
It begins at the crown of your head,
Warm and calming,
And flows gently downward,
Washing over your face,
Your neck,
Your shoulders.
With each breath,
This golden light travels lower,
Melting away any leftover stress or tension.
It moves through your chest,
Into your stomach,
Into your hips,
All the way down to your legs,
Your ankles and the tip of your toes.
This golden light is more than just comfort,
It is energy,
It is presence,
It is the vibration of gratitude and the frequency of manifestation.
And tonight you are connected with both.
From this deeply relaxed state,
Your mind becomes a garden.
And every thought,
Every feeling,
Every breath of appreciation becomes a seed,
A seed of what's to come.
Before we begin to plant those seeds,
We will first clear the soil,
We will clear the inner space,
So that only what nourishes you remains,
So that your next breath carry away what no longer belongs to you,
Old stories,
Old fears,
Old limits.
Feel them drift out of your body with the exhale,
Disappearing like mist under the morning sun.
And in this cleared,
Sacred inner space,
We can begin.
Say silently or aloud,
I surrender,
I trust,
I receive.
I am grateful for what is and what is becoming,
I am ready.
Feel these words anchoring in your subconscious,
And feel your body relax even deeper as the messages settle into your soul.
I am grateful for the abundance flowing into my life.
I welcome my manifestations with an open heart.
I trust the timing of the universe.
There is nothing more to do,
Your part is to feel and to trust and to rest,
And just to simply allow.
I surrender,
I trust,
I receive.
I am grateful for what is and what is becoming,
I am ready.
Now bring your awareness gently back to your breath,
And notice how calm it is,
How natural,
Like waves washing on to a peaceful shore.
And with every exhale you feel your body grow heavier,
And with every inhale you feel your soul grow lighter.
You are drifting now,
Into a place where the conscious mind sleeps,
And the subconscious awakens,
Where dreams are planted and where miracles are born.
Sleep is not the absence of creation,
It is the birthplace,
And tonight you enter that sacred realm full of peace,
Trust and gratitude.
You are safe,
You are loved,
You are guided,
And you are manifesting even now.
So let go,
Float into dreams,
And awaken renewed.
Good night,
Beautiful soul.
