Good evening beautiful soul,
Welcome to this sacred time of rest,
Where you release your day and sink into sacred stillness.
Your sacred temple has carried you through every moment of today,
With such faithful service,
Now it's time to honour her with the deep rest she deserves.
Find your most comfortable position for sleep,
And allow your body to be held by Mother Earth beneath you.
I surrender to sacred rest.
Softly close your eyes,
And take a deep nourishing breath in,
And release it with a long soft sigh.
Now breathe in gratitude for your sacred temple,
And exhale all thoughts and tensions from today.
Feel yourself settling deeper into sacred stillness,
Your nervous system shifting into the sacred rhythm of rest.
I honour my sacred temple,
I surrender to sacred stillness,
I surrender to rest.
And if you feel,
Allow yourself to fall asleep during this practice.
Take your awareness to the crown of your head,
And visualise silver moonlight pouring gently into your crown,
Washing away all thoughts,
All effort,
All need to hold on.
This healing moonlight flows into your forehead,
Your temples,
Feel your mind growing quiet and still,
Your tired eyes heavy with the day,
Let them sink into deep rest,
I surrender to sacred stillness.
The divine moonlight now flows into your jaw,
And your mouth,
All tension dissolving into peace,
Now down to your throat,
Softening into sacred silence,
This beautiful moonlight now flows down to your heart,
Slowing into the gentle rhythm of deep rest.
Feel love surrounding you like warm quiet,
This moonlight flows down to your shoulders,
Sinking and releasing,
It flows down to your arms,
Feeling the day's tiredness,
It flows down to your hands,
Softening,
Your fingers releasing.
Your arms are now growing heavily,
Finally free to rest,
I release holding,
This divine moonlight now flows down to your ribcage,
Which held every breath today,
And down to your belly,
Which softens now completely,
This beautiful divine moonlight now flows down to your sacred feminine centre,
Your womb space,
Releasing,
Surrendering to divine feminine wisdom,
The moonlight now flows down to your hips,
Your pelvis,
Your lower back,
Melting into the earth that holds you,
I trust this gentle rest,
Your entire core is now softened into peaceful stillness,
Like a flower closing for the night,
The moonlight and the awareness now flows down to your thighs,
Which supported you today,
I surrender my legs,
Flowing down to your knees,
Which carried you today,
I release movement,
It flows down to your calves,
Your shins,
They grow heavy and peaceful,
Flowing down to your feet,
Which walked your path today,
Feel your ankles,
Your heels,
Your arches and your toes,
Surrender to mother earth,
Your feet grow warm and heavy,
You have arrived at rest,
Your whole sacred temple from crown to toes is now completely surrendered to sacred stillness,
Bow and surrender to drift deeper into earth's loving embrace,
You are safe in this quiet,
Your body knows the ancient magic of rest,
You are now drifting into the sacred realm where healing happens,
Where your soul restores herself and let go completely now,
Allow yourself to be gently guided into deep sleep,
Your body is healing,
Your soul is restoring,
I rest in sacred stillness,
And may this gentle quiet hold you tenderly until dawn.
