Make yourself comfortable lying down on your back,
Arms relaxed at your sides,
Legs slightly apart.
Begin to close your eyes.
Allow the weight of your body to be fully supported by the surface beneath you.
Bring your attention now to your breath.
Notice the natural rhythms of your inhale and exhale.
No need to change it.
Just observe.
Inhaling and exhaling at its own pace.
Feeling its gentle rhythm.
Begin now to take slow,
Deep breaths.
Inhaling slowly through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.
Slowing your breath down even more.
With each exhale,
Feel your body soften.
Feel it lean into the surface beneath you.
Let your jaw unclench.
Let your eyelids float heavy.
Let your shoulders melt away from your ears.
Now bring a soft awareness to the crown of your head.
Notice any tension there.
Breathe into it.
And as you exhale,
Allow that area to fully relax and soften.
Move your attention down to your forehead.
Softening the brows.
Softening your eyes and your temples.
Relaxing your cheeks,
Your mouth,
And your jaw.
If your teeth are together,
Part them slightly.
Allow the neck to lengthen and relax.
Bring attention to your shoulders.
Feel the weight of them sinking.
Let every muscle around the shoulders become heavy and warm.
Scanning down the arms and elbows.
Notice any tightness.
Breathe into it.
And then release with an out-breath.
Moving to your forearms,
Wrists,
Hands,
And each finger.
Feel them growing heavy.
Shifting now to your chest.
Notice the rise and fall of breath.
Let the breath soften.
Allow it to open the space around your heart.
Move your awareness now to your belly.
Feel it expand gently on the inhale and soften on the exhale.
Allow the belly to sink deeper into relaxation with each breath.
Bringing your attention to your hips and pelvis.
Let the pelvic floor soften and release.
Moving down to your legs,
Thighs,
Knees,
Calves.
Feel them becoming heavy,
Relaxed,
And grounded.
Allow the ankles,
Feet,
And toes to let go completely.
Feel the entire body now pleasantly heavy and relaxed.
While your body rests in deep relaxation,
Imagine a gentle thread of light,
Thin,
Strong,
And luminous,
Emerging from the base of your belly button.
See it as a golden tether.
This cord reaches down through the floor,
Through the foundation,
And continues down into the earth.
Visualize it anchoring you into a calm,
Steady place,
Deep within the earth.
Feel the support of your tether.
Notice how it stabilizes you like the roots of a tree.
With every inhale,
The tether grows stronger.
With every exhale,
It glows brighter.
You are grounded,
And you are anchored.
Your energy body can now move,
Explore,
Or rest,
While your physical body remains safely connected.
Now above your head,
Imagine a soft dome of light forming.
This dome allows positive energy,
Guidance,
And love to pass,
And it gently removes anything that does not serve your highest good.
See it as your protective boundary.
As the shield closes and settles around your body,
Notice a second golden cord descending from the crown of your head up into a field of light above you,
Linking you to higher guidance,
The cosmos.
This cord and the ground tether form a secure anchor.
Sense the balance between both cords,
Holding you in a safe and stable axis.
You are tethered,
Centered,
And protected.
Now setting a quiet intention and allowing it to be in your energy,
Remembering that you will remain protected and only be met by energies of the highest vibration and frequency.
With your body fully relaxed,
Your tether secure,
And your shield in place,
Allow your awareness to soften as you begin to drift to sleep,
Drifting to deep rest and relaxation,
Allowing your breath to be calm,
Drifting quietly into sleep.
