As you prepare to journey into the quiet and restorative embrace of sleep,

Allow yourself to release the weight of the day.

You have carried so much,

And now it is time to lay it all down.

Trust that the divine source,

The boundless energy that weaves through every moment of existence is here with you now,

Holding you gently as you transition from wakefulness to slumber.

Find a comfortable position,

One where your body can fully relax,

Where your breath can flow freely,

And your mind can drift effortlessly.

Close your eyes and let the darkness behind your lids become a canvas for peace.

Feel the bed beneath you,

Solid and supportive,

A reminder that you are grounded,

Safe and cared for.

Take a deep breath in,

Filling your lungs with the cool,

Calming air of the present moment.

Hold it for a second,

Savoring the stillness,

Then exhale slowly,

Letting go of any tension that lingers in your body.

Let each breath be a wave that washes over you,

Cleansing away the stress,

The worries,

The lingering thoughts that no longer serve you.

With each breath,

You descend deeper into relaxation.

Imagine that with every exhale,

You release a burden you've been carrying.

Perhaps it's a concern that is weighed on your mind,

Or a task left unfinished.

See it drift away from you,

Like a leaf carried on the wind until it is out of sight,

Beyond your reach,

Leaving you lighter,

More at ease.

Now envision a soft,

Warm light glowing above you.

This is the light of the divine source,

The eternal energy that nourishes all life.

Feel its warmth touch the crown of your head,

A gentle reminder that you are part of something vast and beautiful,

Something that connects all beings.

Allow this light to pour over you,

Cascading down your body,

Wrapping you in a cocoon of safety and love.

As the light travels down,

Feel it soothe your forehead,

Releasing any furrows or tension.

Let it soften your eyes,

Your cheeks,

And your jaw.

Notice how the muscles in your face melt into serenity.

Let this peacefulness spread to your neck and shoulders,

Areas where you may have held the weight of the day.

Breathe into these spaces,

Allowing the light to dissolve any tightness,

Any lingering aches.

Continue to follow the light as it flows into your chest,

Bringing warmth to your heart.

This is the center of your being,

Where love,

Compassion,

And joy reside.

As the light touches your heart,

Feel it expand with each breath,

Filling with gratitude for the day that has passed.

Acknowledge all that you have done,

All that you have given,

And all that you have received.

No matter how the day unfolded,

Know that you are enough,

You have done enough.

Let the light continue its journey,

Spreading through your arms and hands,

Down through your torso,

Into your hips and legs,

All the way to your feet.

Feel the full weight of your body now,

Sinking deeper into the bed,

Fully supported,

Fully at rest.

Divine Source,

As I stand on the threshold between wakefulness and sleep,

I surrender all that I am to your gentle guidance.

I release my mind from the grips of worry,

From the endless loops of thought.

I know that all is as it should be.

I am exactly where I need to be.

Namaste to the day that has passed,

For the lessons it has brought,

For the opportunities it has presented,

And for the challenges that have shaped me.

I accept that I have done my best,

And I forgive myself for any perceived shortcomings.

I am human,

And I honor the journey I am on,

With all its twists and turns.

Divine Source,

I ask that you bless this night,

That it may be one of deep rest and rejuvenation.

I invite dreams that are filled with wisdom,

Dreams that heal,

Dreams that guide,

And should any dream bring up fear or doubt,

May it be transformed into a message of love and understanding.

As I drift into sleep,

I trust that my body will heal,

That my mind will find peace,

And that my spirit will soar in the realm of dreams.

I am open to receiving the messages of the night,

Knowing that they come from a place of deep wisdom,

A place where the veil between the seen and unseen is thin.

In this sacred space of rest,

I am free.

Free from the constraints of time.

Free from the expectations of others.

Free from the burdens I carry in the waking world.

Here,

In the arms of the Divine Source,

I am cradled in love.

I trust that the night will bring me exactly what I need.

I am safe,

I am loved,

And I am at peace.

As you feel the edges of sleep begin to blur your thoughts,

Take one final deep breath.

Inhale the peace that surrounds you,

And exhale any last remnants of tension.

Know that you are protected in this space,

That you are held by a force greater than yourself,

A force that only wants your highest good.

Let go now.

Let your breath find its natural rhythm,

And let yourself be carried on the gentle waves of slumber.

You are drifting,

Into the quiet,

Into the stillness,

Into the embrace of the Divine Source.

Sleep now,

Dear one,

Rest,

Replenish,

Renew.

Know that you are protected in this space,

That you are held by a force greater than yourself,

A force that only wants your highest good.

You are drifting,

You are drifting,

Into the quiet.

That you are held by a force greater than yourself.

You are drifting,

Drifting,

Into the stillness.

Namaste.
