When life feels unsettled and you can't do anything to change it in this moment, turn your attention away from the discomfort, away from the pain, away from all the thoughts and emotions that are causing you to suffer and come inside, deep into the stillness of your soul.

Where mountains of acceptance rise from the ground and valleys of peace meander through the landscape. Relax into the solace found here and surrender yourself to the deep sleep that awaits you. I know it feels uncomfortable. All those things left unsettled.

You want answers, clear path to peace, but they are nowhere to be found right now. The impatient child within us screams for relief as the adult in us is tempted to escape, numbing ourselves with things that make us forget for brief moments how uncomfortable it all is, but resists the urge to escape.

My love, you don't need to be numb. There are answers here in the discomfort. There is clarity in the stillness. But you must first walk through the door of acceptance. So settle your body tonight and feel your mind release. It's time to be here in this moment.

Letting go of the thoughts that are keeping you trapped in the suffering. Slow and listen. Focusing your attention onto the soft noises of the night. The sweet sounds of your breathing. The soft chirping of the crickets. The familiar noises of your room. The comforting music here. Let it all

Bring you here, into the present and one with what is. Place your hand on the door, the one inviting you into the calmness of the night, just as you are, just as life is. Right? Surrender to it. The life force inside of you telling you everything is going to be okay.

Reminding you that you are resilient. That you are made of love and strength and wild magic beyond your comprehension. And that even in the unknown, even in the discomfort, even when life is unsettled, you will thrive. Reprieve cannot come

from outside answers tonight. It comes from within and somewhere deep inside of you. You know that the entire universe could be crumbling underneath you, that everything could be coming undone and that you would be okay. Allow this wisdom to spread throughout your body

And relax you deeper into your bed. And watch yourself slowly walk through that door of acceptance. Feel the expectation dissolve. And let your fears collapse. They cannot survive on this side of the door. Instead, waves of peace fill you up.

As you bring yourself into presence, deep presence with what is, there is no need to look for answers, my love. They will come to you when you're ready, always when you're ready. So just be here, one with the night, standing in the valley of peace and feeling the soothing wind

Brush your face and relax and release. Sweet dreams, beautiful dreams.
