Music As you come into your bed and wind down your day. Let your breath calm you and soften you.

Rest deep into your body. Bringing your attention here, far away from the thoughts and the movement of your mind. Sing a little further.

And as you do, allow your body to stretch.

Straighten your arms and your legs out wide as far as they can reach hold them here for just a moment, squeezing and gathering up every bit of pain, stress and detail inside.

And then exhale and release the stretch,

letting it all go

and softening your body even further. I'm I'm I'm I'm

I'm

I'm
