I'm so grateful you're here tonight. Let's begin by finding some comfort here. Nestling deep into the embrace of your bed, take a soft breath in, drawing the warmth of peace into your body. And as you exhale, feel the weight of the day gently release as though the breath itself is carrying your cares away.

Fears soften into ease. Doubts disappear. Feel the deep peace that fills the space within. The sanctuary of calm. A quiet haven of love. This light is yours. Always within reach. A place where healing flows. Where peace awaits. In this quiet, you know that you are whole and you are safe.

Each breath renews you. Each breath restores you. As you drift into sleep, let your heart rest in its lightness. Healing flows as you dream and you are held in this calm, this warm, ready for tomorrow with a lightened heart. Namaste. Beautiful.
