Find a comfortable position.
Allow your body to settle.
Let your head rest softly.
Let your shoulders drop.
Let your hands become still.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And gently breathe out.
Again,
Breathe in slowly.
And release.
Feel the day beginning to fade away.
Everything you carry.
Everything you thought about.
Everything you had to do can gently wait until tomorrow.
Right now,
There is nothing you need to fix.
Nothing you need to chase.
Nothing you need to hold on to.
Only rest.
Only peace.
Only this quiet moment.
Imagine yourself standing outside at dusk.
The sky above you is painted in the soft shades of gold,
Pink,
And deep blue.
The sun is slowly lowering beyond the horizon.
Its warm light touches the trees,
The rooftop.
The quiet earth beneath your feet.
The air is calm.
Cool,
Soft against your skin.
You take a slow breath in.
And with every breath out,
Your body becomes heavier.
Softer.
More relaxed.
In front of you is a peaceful path.
It is quiet and safe.
The path is surrounded by tall grass that moves gently in the evening breeze,
Far away.
You can hear the soft sound of nature settling for the night.
A bird sings one final song.
Leaves whisper softly.
The world is slowing down and so are you.
With each step you take down the path,
Your mind becomes quieter.
With each breath,
Your body lets go.
You notice the last light of the sun glowing gently across the sky.
It does not rush.
It does not worry.
It simply fades slowly.
Peacefully.
Naturally.
And just like the sun.
You can allow yourself to let go.
Let go of tension in your forehead.
Let go of tightness in your jaw.
Let your neck soften.
Let your shoulders sink.
Let your arms become loose and heavy.
Let your chest relax.
Let your stomach soften.
Let your legs become still.
Let your whole body rest.
You continue walking slowly along the path.
The sky grows darker now.
Not frightening,
Not empty,
But peaceful.
Comforting.
A blanket of evening blue begins to cover the world.
Tiny stars begin to appear above you.
One by one,
Soft.
Silent.
Calm.
You look up and feel a deep sense of peace.
Day's ending.
The night is arriving.
And you are safe.
Now imagine a small bench beneath a beautiful tree.
You walk toward it slowly.
You sit down.
The bench feels warm and steady beneath you.
You feel supported.
Hell.
Grounded.
The breeze gently moves around you.
Not too cold,
Not too strong.
Just enough to remind you to breathe.
You breathe in calm,
You breathe out stress.
You breathe in peace,
You breathe out the day.
As you sit quietly beneath the tree,
You notice a soft golden light around your body.
This light is warm and gentle.
It begins at the top of your head.
Relaxing your mind.
It moves down across your face,
Softening your eyes,
Your cheeks,
Your mouth.
Your jaw.
The light moves into your shoulders.
Melting away the weight of the day.
It flows down your arms,
Into your hands.
And all the way to your fingertips.
Everything becomes calm.
Everything becomes still.
The warm light continues moving through your chest.
Your breathing becomes slower.
Deeper.
Easier.
It moves through your stomach.
Your hips,
Your legs.
Your feet.
Your entire body is wrapped in warmth,
Wrapped in peace.
Wrapped in sleep.
There's nowhere else you need to be.
There is nothing else you need to do.
You are allowed to rest now.
The sky is now deep blue.
The last color of dusk hath faded softly into the night.
The stars shine quietly above you.
The world feels peaceful.
Your thoughts become softer.
More distant.
Like clouds slowly drifting away.
Any thought that comes,
You do not need to follow.
You simply noticed it.
And let it pass.
Like a leaf floating on a calm river.
Or like a star fading into the night sky.
Now repeat quietly in your mind.
I am safe.
I am calm.
I am peaceful.
I am ready to rest.
My body is heavy.
My mind is quiet.
Sleep can now come naturally.
Sleep can come gently.
Sleep can come now.
The night surrounds you like a soft blanket.
The air is still.
Stars are bright.
Your body is completely relaxed.
Your breathing is slow and steady.
You are drifting deeper and deeper into comfort,
Into calm.
Into sleep.
Let the day disappear.
Let the night hold you.
Let yourself rest.
You are safe.
You are peaceful.
You are ready to sleep.
Good night.
