About this episode
Let soothing words and mindful breaths guide you into peaceful rest and release the day’s weight.
0:00
The average human takes about twenty-three thousand breaths a day.
0:09
In our last time together, we practiced letting go piece by piece.
0:19
Tonight, we’ll invite just a few of those breaths to help us unwind and find our way home to rest.
0:33
Begin by finding a position that feels like ease.
0:40
Lying down, perhaps, in your bed.
0:45
Allowing your body to be held completely by the surface beneath it.
0:55
There is nothing else you need to do right now.
1:02
Nowhere else you need to be.
1:06
Close your eyes when you feel ready.
1:11
And simply begin to notice your breath.
1:17
There is no need to change it.
1:21
Just feeling the air as it enters your body.
1:28
And feeling it as it leaves.
1:32
Each exhale offers an invitation to soften.
1:38
A chance to let go.
1:41
Bring your awareness now, gently, all the way down to your feet.
1:50
To the very tips of your toes.
1:54
Can you feel them?
1:57
Noticing any sensation there at all.
2:02
Warmth.
2:03
Coolness.
2:05
Tingling.
2:06
Whatever you find is okay.
2:10
Let a feeling of softness spread into the soles of your feet.
2:19
Releasing the arches.
2:22
Allowing your heels to feel heavy, sinking into the mattress.
2:31
Your feet have carried you through the day.
2:37
They can rest now.
2:39
This gentle awareness can travel up into your ankles.
2:47
Your calves.
2:49
And your shins.
2:51
Feeling the weight of your legs.
2:56
Letting the muscles soften around the bone.
3:02
Awareness flows up into your knees.
3:07
And into your thighs.
3:10
Letting go of any holding.
3:14
Any tension from walking, or standing, or sitting.
3:21
Just letting them be heavy and supported.
3:27
Now, bring your awareness to your hips and your pelvis.
3:35
A sense of grounding.
3:38
Of release.
3:40
Feel your lower back spreading, meeting the surface you're on.
3:49
Let your belly be soft.
3:52
Rising gently with the inhale.
3:57
And falling gently with the exhale.
4:02
This quiet rhythm has been with you all day.
4:08
Awareness now moves up into your chest and your upper back.
4:17
Feeling the gentle expansion of your ribs with each breath.
4:26
Letting your shoulders release.
4:30
Allowing them to fall away from your ears.
4:36
Heavy.
4:37
Soft.
4:38
Let this feeling of release pour down through your arms.
4:46
Past your elbows.
4:48
Into your forearms.
4:51
All the way to your hands.
4:55
Noticing your palms.
4:58
The backs of your hands.
5:01
Each finger, one by one.
5:05
Letting them rest.
5:08
Open and soft.
5:10
No longer needing to hold or to grasp.
5:15
Gently, bring your awareness to your neck.
5:21
The place that connects your thinking mind and your feeling body.
5:31
Invite it to soften.
5:34
Let your head feel heavy and fully supported by the pillow.
5:42
Release your jaw.
5:45
Let your tongue rest gently in your mouth.
5:51
Your lips can part slightly if they wish.
5:57
Soften the small muscles around your eyes.
6:03
Let your forehead become smooth.
6:08
Wide.
6:08
Calm.
6:09
Awareness at the very crown of your head.
6:15
And now.
6:16
For just a moment, feel your whole body at once.
6:23
From the tips of your toes to the top of your head.
6:31
Breathing.
6:32
A single field of sensation.
6:36
Held.
6:37
Supported.
6:39
At rest.
6:40
There is nothing to fix.
6:43
Nothing to change.
6:46
Just this quiet presence.
6:49
You have arrived.
6:52
As you continue to breathe… you can allow this awareness to dissolve.
7:02
Giving yourself permission to drift.
7:07
The day is complete.
7:10
Rest now.
