Let your body unwind

as the night calls you to rest.

Take a slow, deep breath in.

And let your exhale release fully carrying away the noise of the day The mind can feel so heavy at times. Spinning stories, replaying conversations, planning and worrying,

it can feel as though it never stops.

But tonight you don't have to carry all of that.

You can set it all down right now

bring your attention to your breath

and feel the air enter through your nose cool and clean feel it travel down your belly expanding

you gently and then feel it flow out

and release it with ease.

So, Stay with this rhythm.

In and out.

Slow and calm.

Natural and effortless. Slow and calm.

Natural and effortless. With every exhale, imagine the thoughts, loosening their grip, like clouds drifting across the sky. They're still there, but no longer pressing against you. The Allow your body to sink deeper into your bed.

Feel the mattress supporting you.

Feel the covers holding you.

Everything you've been carrying can wait.
