Welcome to this soft sleep meditation for deep emotional release.
Take a slow,
Whispering,
Soft breath in and let it fall out of you like a sigh.
Feel the bed receive your weight.
You don't have to hold anything anymore,
Not your shoulders,
Not your thoughts,
Not your day.
Inhale as though you're pulling in moonlight.
Exhale as though you're melting into warm sand.
Let your breath stay soft,
Barely there,
A quiet tide.
With each exhale,
Imagine a small thread of tension unraveling,
One,
Then another,
Then another.
Bring awareness to your forehead,
Let it smooth,
Soften,
Open.
Let your jaw loosen,
Your tongue resting heavy and peaceful.
Let your throat relax like a dim hallway where sound is no longer needed.
Feel your chest grow warm,
Spacious,
Unguarded.
Your belly rises and falls in slow waves,
Each one carrying something away.
Imagine a warm glow in the center of your chest,
A soft ember of safety.
With each breath,
It brightens gently,
Not forcing,
Just glowing.
Let the warmth spread to old feelings,
Heavy feelings,
Ones you didn't have time to acknowledge today.
Whisper inwardly,
It's okay.
I can let you soften now.
If any emotion rises,
Sorry,
Worry,
Weariness,
Don't push it away.
Hold it the way moonlight holds the surface of still water,
Lightly,
Kindly,
Without demand.
Let each exhale carry it a little further from your center,
A tender unwinding,
A gentle loosening,
A quiet permission to let go.
Above your head,
Imagine a slow waterfall of warm silver light.
It pours down over you,
Over your scalp,
Your temples,
Your neck,
Your shoulders,
Down the spine in a soothing cascade.
This light understands you.
It holds no judgment.
It simply washes you clean of the day.
Feel your limbs growing heavier,
Warmer,
Quieter.
Your breath is now a whisper,
A soft breeze across a calm night lake.
Thoughts drift like petals on slow water.
You don't need to follow them,
But you don't need to fix or sort or manage.
Everything is allowed to rest.
Let yourself imagine sinking into a nest of warm dusk.
Here,
Every emotion that felt too big today is gently held by something larger than you,
The night itself.
Whisper softly inside your mind,
I release what I carried.
I am safe to rest.
Sense a sanctuary forming within you,
A vast velvety quiet.
Nothing enters here unless you invite it.
Nothing rushes you.
Nothing asks of you.
This space is yours,
Soft,
Spacious,
Sacred.
Allow your breath to slow even more,
Barely a ripple in the dark.
If any last emotions remain,
Imagine offering them to the night breeze.
Watch them lift,
Drift,
Dissolve.
Feel the whole body exhaling relief.
Feel your mind grow dim,
Serene,
Lunar.
You are stepping across the final threshold of wakefulness.
The breath is now soft enough to lull you.
Your body has grown heavy enough to cradle you.
Your heart has become quiet enough to soothe you.
Let yourself fall into the waiting arms of deep,
Restful sleep.
Nothing to do.
No one to be.
Just ease.
Just softness.
Just release.
May your rest be healing.
May your heart feel light.
And may you wake up renewed.
