This gentle practice is designed for moments when you wake during the night and want support settling back into rest. You’ll be guided with calm, reassuring words and spacious pauses that invite the body to soften and the nervous system to settle. The intention is to rest fully and remain with the body, allowing the night to continue quietly. The spoken guidance gradually fades, leaving a steady brown noise soundscape to support deep, uninterrupted rest through the remainder of the night. This practice is well-suited for middle-of-the-night wake-ups, early-morning stirrings, or anytime you’d like to recommit to rest and allow sleep to return on its own time. You can listen lying down in any comfortable position, letting rest be enough.

Transcript

You can rest now.

This moment is already complete.

There's space to stay exactly where you are.

Your body is welcome to remain just as it is.

The way you're lying.

The way you're breathing.

All of it belongs here.

The steady support beneath you.

The surface holding your weight.

A simple,

Quiet sense of being supported.

Rest is available right now.

It meets you simply by staying.

If it feels natural,

Allow your attention to settle into the places where your body feels most supported—the back of your head,

Your shoulders,

Your hips,

And your feet.

Each place that's supported will soften in its own time,

A gradual easing,

A gentle settling.

You're invited to choose rest now,

A quiet commitment to remain here,

Still and at ease.

This moment offers everything that's needed.

You may notice the breath moving through your body,

A soft rise,

A natural rhythm unfolding on its own.

With each exhale,

Your body can settle more deeply into rest.

Gravity carries the weight downward.

The surface beneath you receives it fully.

Awareness can drift gently.

You're welcome to follow the sound or to let attention blur and soften.

It continues either way.

Thoughts may slow.

Everything is free to unfold at its own pace.

Remaining with rest is enough.

Staying still is enough.

Letting the body lie here peacefully is enough for heaviness or a soft fading at the edges of awareness.

However rest appears is welcome.

The body recognizes this rhythm.

Your nervous system responds naturally.

Allow the muscles of your face to soften,

The space around your eyes,

Your jaw,

Everything easing into smoothness.

Your body carries deep wisdom for rest and sleep.

It moves toward what it needs with ease.

You're welcome to stay right here,

Settled,

Supported.

Sleep may arrive gently.

Rest may remain quiet and steady.

Both belong here.

Awareness continues to hold the space,

Even,

Present throughout the night.

Words may grow fewer.

Spaces may grow wider.

The space here is welcome.

You're free to stay.

All begin to fade now.

Can remain here,

Resting,

Supported.
