Welcome.
Take a moment to settle in.
Lie down comfortably,
Arms resting at your sides,
Palms facing upward.
Allow your body to soften.
Let the earth beneath you hold everything.
There is nothing to do now.
Nothing to fix.
Only rest.
Bring your awareness to your breath.
Inhale deeply and exhale slowly.
Let your breath be your ankle to stillness.
Now gently bring your attention to the top of your head.
Feel the scalp soften.
The forehead smooth.
Eyebrows release.
Eyes rest deep in their sockets.
Jaw unclenches.
Tongue softens.
Bring awareness to your throat,
Your shoulders.
Let your arms grow heavy.
Your chest light and open.
Feel your belly rise and fall with the breath.
Soften your hips,
Your legs,
Your knees.
Down to your ankles,
Feet and toes.
Let your whole body melt into the floor as if you are dissolving into the earth.
Completely safe.
Completely supported.
Now the invitation is to feel the energy of a sacred mantra.
One that holds the essence of rest,
Surrender and timeless wisdom.
Om Agastya Shayanaya Namaha.
I bow to the sage Agastya who rests in deep stillness.
A mantra that invites you to release into effortless calm.
To sleep like the wise,
Rounded and serene.
We will begin by softly repeating this mantra together.
Let each syllable be a wave carrying you inwards.
Om Agastya Shayanaya Namaha.
Om Agastya Shayanaya Namaha.
Feel the resonance move through your body.
Settling your thoughts,
Relaxing your heart,
Anchoring your breath.
Each repetition a gentle nudge towards sleep.
You may want to repeat it mentally now.
Om Agastya Shayanaya Namaha.
Om Agastya Shayanaya Namaha.
Om Agastya Shayanaya Namaha.
Let this mantra be your lullaby.
Let it hold you just as you are.
As the mantra fades into silence,
Let the silence speak.
Feel your body heavy and light at the same time.
Bathed in quiet,
Wrapped in peace.
If you are preparing for sleep,
You may remain here,
Drifting deeper into rest.
And if you are returning to wakefulness after a short break,
Begin to bring movement to your fingers.
Carry this stillness with you wherever you decide to be.
Om Shanti Hi.
Shanti Hi.
Shanti Hi.
Good night.
