Welcome. Find a comfortable position for sleep. Let your body settle into the softness beneath you. Allow your shoulders to relax away from your ears. Soften your jaw. Let your tongue rest gently in your mouth.
Begin to notice your breath. Not trying to change it in any way, simply observing its natural rhythm. The gentle rise and fall of your chest, or the subtle expansion and contraction of your abdomen.
With each exhale, imagine you are releasing any tension you might be holding. A gentle letting go. Like a sigh of relief.
Feel your eyelids growing heavy. Heavy and relaxed. Allow them to close if they haven't already.
Now, bring your awareness to your feet. Notice any sensations there. Perhaps warmth, or a slight tingling. Simply acknowledge what you feel, without judgment.
With each breath, imagine that relaxation spreading upwards. Moving into your ankles, your calves, your knees. A wave of calm, washing over you.
Feel your thighs releasing. Softening. Letting go of any holding.
Now, bring your awareness to your hips and your lower back. Imagine this area becoming heavy and supported. Completely at ease.
Feel your stomach relaxing. The gentle rhythm of your breath moving through your core.
Allow your chest to soften. Your shoulders to melt away from your ears. Releasing any burdens you may have been carrying today.
Notice your arms. From your shoulders, down to your fingertips. Let them be heavy and limp. Completely surrendered.
Bring your attention to your neck and throat. Soften these muscles. Release any tightness.
Now, your jaw. Let it unclench. Your tongue resting easily. Your cheeks softening.
Feel your forehead smoothing. The space between your eyebrows relaxing. Your entire face is now soft and peaceful.
Imagine yourself floating on a calm, still lake. The water is warm and gentle. You are completely supported, weightless.
There is nowhere you need to be, nothing you need to do. Only rest. Only peace.
Allow your thoughts to drift by like clouds in the sky. You don't need to hold onto them or analyze them. Simply observe them passing.
With each gentle breath, you drift deeper into a state of profound relaxation. A peaceful surrender to sleep.
Your body is heavy. Your mind is calm. You are safe and you are deeply, deeply peaceful.
Allow yourself to be carried into the quiet stillness of sleep. Rest now.
