The Gentle Stretch for Deep Sleep is a calming nighttime experience designed to help your body unwind and release built-up tension before rest. Through slow, intentional stretching and mindful breathing, each area of the body is invited to soften and relax. As muscles release and the breath settles, a sense of ease and comfort naturally spreads from head to toe. Allow this gentle process to prepare your body for deep, restorative sleep.

Good evening,

Beautiful,

I'm so thankful you're here with me tonight.

Take a slow,

Deep breath in,

And as you exhale,

Feel the day falling away.

Let all the tension melt,

Let your mind clear,

And your body relax.

Now,

See if you can imagine yourself laying on a soft,

Warm surface,

Like a cozy blanket that cradles you from head to toe.

The air around you is still and peaceful.

Let your body sink into the warm,

And with each breath,

Feel the tension in your muscles release.

Point your toes gently,

Feeling the stretch in your arches and ankles.

As you exhale,

Release the stretch,

And feel your feet soften.

Feel your toes relax completely.

Now,

Move your attention to your calves,

Flex your feet,

Stretching your legs,

Feeling the muscles gently lengthen.

With your next breath,

Release the stretch,

And allow the relaxation to wash over your calves,

Letting go of any tension or tightness.

Let your thighs gently stretch,

Feeling the release of the muscles.

With each exhale,

Let the stretch soften,

Allowing your legs to relax fully and sink deeper into the comfort of your bed.

Move your awareness to your hips and lower back.

Gently tilt your pelvis just enough to feel a stretch in your lower back,

And as you breathe out,

Release the motion,

And feel your hips open.

Feel your lower back melting into the bed,

Free from any strain or pressure.

Now,

Bring your awareness to your belly and chest.

Take a deep breath in,

Stretching your belly and chest as they expand,

And with a long exhale,

Feel your chest soften.

Your belly relax,

And all the tension fall away.

Let your arms stretch out to your sides.

Feel the gentle pull in your shoulders,

The lengthening of your arms.

As you breathe out,

Release the stretch,

Letting your arms grow heavy as your entire body sinks deeper into relaxation.

Now,

Move your attention to your neck and your head.

Slowly tilt your head from side to side,

Feeling the gentle stretch along your neck.

With each breath,

Release the tension,

Allowing your neck to soften and your head to rest comfortably.

Feel the warmth of your whole body,

From head to toe.

Your muscles are stretched,

Your body is heavy,

Ready to sleep.

Let go completely now,

Sinking deeper into the softness around you,

Ready for restful sleep.

Namaste,

Beautiful.
