0:00

Come to rest in a comfortable position, let your eyes drift closed, and when you're ready, turn your attention inward.

Tonight, try not to rush your body.

0:18

Allow yourself a moment to simply be as you are, as you tune in to the natural rhythm of your breath drifting in and out tonight.

0:39

With each cycle of your breath, you are singing deeper into relaxation and granting yourself permission to find release, to find rest.

Release your hold on the muscles you don't need to be using in this moment and feel the tension ebb out of your body as you breathe in and sigh out in relief.

1:18

Breathe in and out easily and evenly.

Inhale and exhale.

1:55

On the next cycle of your breath, let a wave of deep relaxation flow through your body, finding release in each and every muscle.

Begin at the tips of your toes, feeling release in the soles of your feet and the palms of your hands.

2:21

As you let go of your hold on the day.

Feel that deep, unerring, undoing, relaxation ebbing into your arms and legs.

2:39

Feel the muscles release, lengthen, and loosen.

Let that deep relaxation flow into your core on your next in.

2:54

Breath as you exhale.

Perhaps you feel your stomach soften.

Feel your heart open with your chest as you breathe in and as you sigh out.

3:19

Release your shoulders into the soft mattress beneath you.

Inhale and exhale as you release the tension at the crown of your head and across your temples.

3:42

Let your jaw release and slacken.

Allow your tongue to fall away from the roof of your mouth and soften your brow as you breathe in and out, inhale and exhale.

4:24

Finally, allow that wave of deep, unerring relaxation to sweep into your mind and settle upon the plains of your subconscious.

Breath by breath.

4:41

It restores balance.

It offers you deep peace and relaxation from the inside out.

Each breath you take seems to add to that sense of deep inner peace.

5:02

The feeling is flourishing within you.

This is your time to lean into that feeling, to find release in each and every moment, to sink and settle into the safety of your body.

5:59

You are our ears.

You are our peace.

You are the silence between the stars.

You are the stillness of the night sky as you enter into the present moment here, now, know that you are a whole and complete.

6:46

You are safe in your body and you are deserving of rest.

7:09

Let your breath wash in and out as you consider just how different it feels now that you have begun to nourish it with relaxation.

7:30

In your mind's eye, visualize yourself on the soft sands of a beach just before the Breakers.

The water is warm and inviting, and as you wade into the gentle waves, you realize just how relaxing it is to be amongst them.

8:29

As time drifts by, it begins to feel as though each wave washing against your body is another wave of relaxation washing against your subconscious.

8:55

The water feels almost as warm as the soft sunlight on your face as you breathe in, and a wave of relaxation washes through your body as you sigh out.

9:16

It draws all fear out to sea and away from you.

Inhale, letting another wave of calm wash into you, and exhale.

9:42

Inhale, feeling the relaxation wash across your subconscious and sigh out in relief as stress and strain drain from your body.

10:02

Breathe in the next wave of peace and on your out breath, find deep release.

Inhale and exhale.

10:25

Breathe in and out as your mind unwinds, your muscles relax, and you settle into a deeper state of relaxation than ever before.

10:49

As you wade out of the water and come to settle on the soft golden sands of that beach.

It's almost as though with each cycle of your breath, you can still feel those deep waves of calm washing into you over and over again.

11:23

It doesn't matter if thoughts of the day drift through your mind or disturb you, you know that with your next breath, that wave of calm will wash through you once again and wash away any thoughts or fears that no longer serve you.

11:50

Take a moment to sink into this feeling, this total, unerring, ever replenishing calm.

12:24

You are our ease.

You are our peace.

You are the silence between the stars.

You are the stillness of the night sky.

12:46

Breathe in and out.

Inhale and sigh out in relief as you move beyond this level of relaxation and enter in to the next.

13:25

As you reach new levels of relaxation, you feel the thoughts that no longer serve you falling away.

They cannot exist here, in this moment.

Here there is only ease, only peace.

13:49

There is only you, sinking into the safety of your body, settling back into your skin and nourishing your body with every deep breath in and out.

14:15

As you drift off to sleep, perhaps your mind wanders back to that beach.

Perhaps you find that you can still feel those waves of calm washing through you with every gentle cycle of your breath.
