Welcome into this deep relaxing meditation to shift the way you see time,

Timelines,

Age and getting older.

It's so common to fear this and to feel as though time hangs over you but together we are going to shift those anxieties.

This is a sleep meditation best used to fall asleep to where you can truly absorb these affirmations on a deep subconscious level.

This will shift how you see time and your life and soften any anxiety or fear you're holding.

You may choose to listen to this several nights in a row.

21 days is known to be an amount of time that it can take to really absorb changes.

I invite you to listen to this as many times as you can until you feel that shift that will come.

When you're ready just allowing yourself to get nice and cozy in the bed.

Just allowing yourself to get into a position that feels good for you.

Perhaps allowing your back to feel supported,

Your knees however it is that feels good for you to fall asleep to.

Once you've found a position that feels good just starting to take some deep gentle breaths.

Deep breath in allowing your body to soften.

Release the breath when you're ready out through your mouth.

Letting go releasing.

Another deep breath in through your nose.

And when you're ready letting everything go on the exhale.

Finding a gentle rhythm with your breath and as you sink down into the bed.

Recognizing that the day is done.

There is nothing more that is needed from you.

You have done enough and it's time to switch off.

The hours ahead of you are yours.

Your time to heal,

Process,

Relax.

You have all the time you need and there is nowhere else you need to be.

Allowing yourself to feel so held by the bed beneath you.

Feeling the support from the mattress,

The pillows.

Feeling the softness of the duvet,

The covers,

The blankets keeping you warm,

Keeping you safe.

You allow your body to let go and surrender knowing that it's held so well.

Allowing your head to feel heavier on the pillow.

Feeling the soft cushion and allowing your eyes to feel heavy.

Softening your temples,

Your forehead.

Allowing any thoughts to pass.

Relaxing the cheekbones.

Allowing the cheekbones to soften,

To let go.

Bringing this relaxation down to your jaw and releasing any tension you're holding in your jaw.

Relaxing your tongue.

It's time to let go.

This time is just for you.

Time is on my side.

There is enough time for everything that truly matters.

There is enough time that really matters.

Time is unfolding perfectly.

I release the need to control the future and embrace the present experience.

Each breath allows me to let go of the past and focus on what truly matters now.

My focus is on the present where I have the power to create my reality.

I trust the flow of time.

I release the need to predict the future and embrace the present moment with an open mind.

Life unfolds in its own perfect timing.

Uncertainty is part of life and I choose to embrace it with courage and curiosity.

I don't need to control time,

I just need to be present in it.

I focus on the things that I can give and ultimately live on.

Every age brings its own kind of beauty and wisdom.

I am young and wise and everything in between and always can be.

The parts of my younger years and teenage years that I loved I can still have.

The social buzz,

Friendships,

Community,

Belonging,

Excitement and optimism they can be part of my every day.

I'm young at heart and I realize that worry and fear can make you old no matter what your age.

It can be a choice.

I channel all the grandfathers and grandmothers who still listened to music and danced well into their older years,

Who carried that spirit throughout their whole life.

I allow them to guide me.
