Lie down and find your most comfortable position. It could be on your back or on your side. Whatever best helps you to relax. And let's begin. I would like to invite you

to pay attention to my voice and ground yourself in this very moment. Feel the comfort. You do not need to do anything as energizing. You don't have to do a thing. Just listen to my voice without any expectations all asleep straight away.

Shut on yourself. Listen to my words and just if he stay awake for a little bit. If sleep comes quickly, that's great. If not, it's no big deal. It's okay and he'll just rest here with me. So let's take a deep breath in to the count of four. Hold the breath to the count of three and breathe out slowly to the count of six.

So take a deep breath in, one, two the breath to the count of three one two relax out to the count of six one two

three and repeat this a few more if you can't reach these numbers it's okay don't force yourself do what you can or rhythm spread you exhale

and now your body to relax a little bit more into the bed and do one more. Producing all these. You don't have to choose which ones you think about now. They are just products of your mind. Who decides? What happens? So if you can't forbid your mind to do its job.

To thoughts, focus from. Focus on something else. Wanted thoughts will lose their power. Sensical sensations and environment can go a long way to relax. Notice how your body feels, acknowledge its posture, temperature of your body and space around you. Feel the support of the surface below you and the comfort of your mattress, entering your nostrils and going down to fill your lung with air

and allow it to inflate like a balloon. Notice how it leaves your stomach, your lungs and finally, your nostrils. Notice the coolness of the air. You are inhaling and the warmth of it on the exhale. When it goes throughout your body, focus only on your breathing. It is the easiest and,

quickest way to ground yourself and relax. How do your feet feel? How do your legs feel? Notice sensations in each part of your body. Notice all the sensations in your fingers. Knowledge how your shoulders and neck feel. Then bring your awareness to sensations in your head and face. If there is any tension in your body,

acknowledge it coming up to the surface and you feel that all the tension just let it go take a deep breath all your body is completely relaxed and free from any tension checking if all the parts are relaxed tension since experience of

letting go into pure relaxation there are many things You can place your focus on right now, even the busiest minds. Can calm, mindful and sooner or later drift off from your breathing and relaxing physical sensations. Can gently get them back now concentrating on the feelings in your body. And you're breathing in the simplest yet most powerful way to stay, present and grounded. Notice them and just let go. Do it as many times as needed. Always bringing your focus back to your breath and your body, noticing the air entering your nose. Stay with a breath

of the body moment by moment and you feel so relaxed. This is a natural. After some time, or at peace you can drift after sleep and do it again imagine a time when you have relaxed and you can just and be relaxed like you have been before so breathe in breathe out with a smile internally or externally of relaxation and just let go this time is only for you if you are needed urgently you can always attend to that But right now, you can always stretch your body or move to get more comfortable if you need to. To get more comfortable in your cozy bed, but if you're already comfortable, you have nothing else to do. Nothing else to worry about. With every breath, dive deeper into the sense of comfort and relaxation. Visualize yourself now.

Imagine your favorite color. Mind's eyes with that healing, amazing vibrance. Do you feel it? Enter your toes and feet to relax them. To gently open up and restores its head muscles in your body. It feels so good. It feels so amazing. Noticing how round you relax your chest and feel.

yourself floating and being utterly calm. Also get tight muscles here, relaxation colour, enters the shoulders, feels like a nice shoulder massage. You tense and become loose. Relaxation feeling flows into your neck. This relaxing hears your head. Work hard or dead. Proper rest and your jaw relaxes more.

In your head, just relaxes. Just relaxes, anticipates as the healing colour and once again do a quick scan on the body to check that it is completely relaxed. But you feel completely full. You do a scan and your feet are relaxed. Your legs, knees, upper legs relaxed. Your hips and pelvis relax. Your glutes relax.

Your hands relax Your arms, elbows and upper arms relax Your belly relaxed and your chest relax Your foot relax Your shoulders and your neck relax Your nose Your cheeks selecting your body from the outside world

And it needs a rest and re-energizing Visualize all the internals of your body organs, your muscles, your tendons, your bones and take a moment to appreciate everything they do for you all of the time and smile at them with your inner smile send them love and light and grudging, working for you all the time mentally send them love and let them relate Acknowledge that your emotional parts need rest too.

Emotions are turned on all the time, but you don't need them right now. Give your emotions permission to let go. Forgive everything there is to be forgiven. Let go of all negative feelings. Only thing you need now, don't hold any anger, resentment or sadness. Just let go of everything that doesn't serve you. If any thoughts occur, and they may certainly do so. Just note them and let them pass you by.

You don't need any of them right now to think or solve problems, to be productive nor to achieve anything. It is time to rest your mind. Let it recharge now, so you could be productive when the time comes for that. Visualize you are in a dark, empty room. The only thing you can see is a clock, the clock hands are moving in the speed of your thought.

The only thing you should do is counting the movements of the clock hands. You find it harder and harder. Because they move slower and slower. You are becoming more and more. Notice they become slower and slower. Until they are barely moving. This calm and you are just a step away from drifting after sleep.

Observe your body. Becoming heavier and sleepier. In a state of deep relaxation now. Feel so comfortable and cozy in your bed. sure snow and deep breathing. You're calm, my body. Acceptance. You feel the warmth.

The coziness, the peace and the deep calmness. Everything's so calm. Everything is so peaceful and easy. This is how it feels to be relaxed. Carefree is well and you breathe in and down. All of your concerns. All the feelings. fears and worries, everything will be just fine.

Everything happens when the time is perfect. Leave everything to a higher intelligence or fate. And trust all will be well. Enjoy the serenity and care-freeness. Giving up control and allow a dream to feel comfort and ease and you become one with this moment giving up any effort. Your mind and body are enjoying this absolute rest. The sun is shining through the trees.

You've been hiking in the hills the whole day. You feel pretty tired now. But your house is still quite far, so you have to walk about an hour more until you get there that a fire in the fireplace. a cozy blanket and a warm, comfortable bed at all. You're stepping down a steep, it's a little half this path. You pay attention to your feet, savoring this fresh cool.

Your body is a little tired. Your legs are a little sleepy. I'm struggling to stay. To get to the house soon, you're going down the steep path. You have to get there before the day ends. You can hear the birds. and the insects in the grass, your steps down the path and the sound of your breathing. Your still breathing deeply is about to come.

The forest is preparing for sleep. It becomes harder and harder to walk. And to count as you become more and more sleepy. You wish to lie under the tree. And just allow yourself to fall asleep. You are yawning and can barely warm Just fortunately there are a few more steps and you'll get to the small house where you can finally sleep

The moon and stars appear in the sky To your destination You're opening the wooden door Your legs are heavy and you can barely move It is crissing your head onto a soft fluffy pillow wrapping yourself up in a warm bucket. You can feel your legs are already sleeping. Your stomach is sleeping.

Your back is sleeping. Your head and face are sleeping. Your whole body is sleeping. To yourself, forgive me. I am resting. I am divinely supported and guided. Energizing, resting, secure, serene. How you are full.

have a good quality's night to rest. You'll fall asleep now and stay asleep during the whole night. The morning you'll wake up refreshed and renewed. So feel the serenity, so feel the calm. Now yourself to sink into a deeper sleep, knowing everything is fine. You are calm, you are safe, You are worthy. You deserve good rest. The problems of the day are solved. Good night.
