Welcome to Reflect,
Restore,
Rise,
A calming nighttime practice for conscious founders,
Executives and visionary entrepreneurs.
I am Matthias and this meditation is part of a transformational series designed to support soul-aligned leadership at every stage of your day and your journey.
This evening practice helps you decompress,
Process the day's events and ease your system into rest,
Not by disconnecting,
But by integrating with clarity and gratitude.
You've led,
Served,
Made decisions and moved through yet another unknown day.
Now it's time to honor all of that and return to center.
Find a quiet space,
Let the outer world go,
Let's begin.
Gently bring your attention inward,
Let your hands rest softly by your side or over your heart.
Take a deep breath in through the nose,
Exhale softly through the mouth,
Let go,
Feel the work of your body being held by the floor,
Your chair or bed.
Let your muscles soften,
Let your jaw release,
Let the day start to fall away.
Set your intention gently,
I allow the day to complete itself,
I open to peace,
Clarity and closure.
Begin to replay your day in your mind like a soft slideshow from the moment you woke up to now.
Observe the key moments,
Interactions,
Challenges and wins,
No need to analyze,
Just witness.
What moments felt aligned?
Where did you feel in flow,
Present or proud?
Now where was that tension?
Where did you feel off,
Overwhelmed or disconnected?
Inhale gently and as you exhale,
Let any stuck emotion move out with your breath.
Now bring to mind three things you're grateful for today,
Big or small,
Obvious or quiet.
Let each one be a warm light in your body,
Let gratitude soften your nervous system.
Now imagine a soft stream of white golden light flowing down over your body.
It begins at the top of your head like a gentle waterfall of light,
Cleansing and soothing.
Feel it slowly pour over your scalp,
Relaxing your mind.
Let it move across your forehead,
Erasing tension,
Clearing residual thoughts.
As it moves down your face,
It softens your eyes,
Your jaw,
Your expression.
Any unspoken words or lingering expressions from the day melt away.
This light travels down your neck and shoulders,
Melting the pressure of responsibility,
Of meetings,
Of holding it all together.
Let your shoulders drop a little more,
Let go of the weight.
It continues through your arms,
Down to your fingertips,
Releasing anything you picked up through emails,
Messages,
Tasks.
Let them slide off like static.
Feel it pouring down your back,
Your spine unwinding,
Your nervous system softening,
Then across your chest,
Bringing spaciousness to your heart.
Let go of emotional heaviness.
Let yourself feel light.
As it moves through your belly,
Release tension,
Effort,
Control.
No more bracing,
No more guarding,
Just ease.
Now the light moves through your hips,
Legs,
Knees,
And into your feet.
Let it drain out anything dense or disconnected down into the earth to be composted.
You are returning to your own energy,
Clear,
Whole,
Reclaimed.
Now the light around you.
Let it form a soft sphere,
A boundary of stillness and protection.
No more notifications,
No more performance,
No more pressure.
Just this,
Just you.
Say inwardly,
I release anything that is not mine to carry.
I call all my energy back to me now.
I return to myself.
Breathe into the space.
Let this peace imprint your body.
Let it become your resting state.
Let this be enough.
Place one hand on your heart,
One on your belly.
Feel your breath,
Slow and steady.
Say silently or aloud,
I did enough.
I showed up.
I released the rest.
Feel a soft sense of completion.
Now imagine a soft cocoon of light wrapping around your body,
A protective stillness,
A boundary of peace.
No more input is needed.
No more decisions.
Only rest.
Only restoration.
Let your body know it's safe to fully relax.
Let your mind know it can power down now.
Let your spirit know it is supported.
Feel your whole body as a sanctuary,
Still,
Aware and whole.
You've integrated the day.
You've honored your growth.
You've returned to yourself.
Now rest deeply.
You rise again tomorrow.
Rested,
Clear,
Whole.
