Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed for the next 30 to 45 minutes. Ensure you're lying down in your bed, ready for sleep, with any sleep aids like eye masks or earplugs already in place. It's perfectly natural if you drift off to sleep during this session - that's exactly what we want to happen. If you're listening to this recording, make sure your device will automatically shut off or stop playing. Take a moment now to adjust your position and ensure you're completely comfortable. [Pause 8 seconds]
As you settle into your comfortable position, begin to notice your breathing. [Pause 5 seconds] There's no need to change anything about your breath, simply observe its natural rhythm. [Pause 6 seconds] With each breath, feel the gentle rise and fall of your chest. [Pause 7 seconds] Notice how your body naturally knows exactly how to breathe. [Pause 6 seconds] As you continue breathing, you might become aware of the weight of your body against the surface beneath you. [Pause 8 seconds] Feel how gravity gently holds you, supporting you completely. [Pause 7 seconds] With each exhale, you might notice your body settling a little more heavily. [Pause 8 seconds] And as you continue breathing, you might begin to notice the temperature of the air as it flows in and out. [Pause 7 seconds] Perhaps it's slightly cooler as you breathe in. [Pause 6 seconds] And slightly warmer as you breathe out. [Pause 8 seconds] With each breath, you can allow your awareness to soften. [Pause 7 seconds] There's nothing you need to do right now except rest. [Pause 10 seconds]
As you continue to relax, imagine yourself in a peaceful garden at twilight, where the marble bench beneath you feels smooth and cool against your skin. [Pause 8 seconds] The day is gently transitioning into night, painting the sky in magnificent brushstrokes of deep purple, amber, and rose gold. [Pause 9 seconds] Soft, dusky light filters through the leaves above, creating intricate shadow patterns that dance slowly across the ground like nature's own lace. [Pause 10 seconds] The air is perfectly still and comfortably cool against your skin, carrying the sweet perfume of evening jasmine and late-blooming lavender. [Pause 9 seconds] In this garden, time moves differently, flowing like silk through your fingers. [Pause 8 seconds] Each moment stretches out like honey dripping from a spoon, golden and precious in its unhurried journey. [Pause 10 seconds] The flowers are closing their petals for the night, each bloom folding inward with a whispered rustle. [Pause 9 seconds] You can hear the gentle trickle of a nearby fountain, its water creating a soothing melody that seems to echo your own peaceful breathing. [Pause 10 seconds] A few early fireflies begin their gentle dance among the herb garden, their soft lights twinkling like earthbound stars. [Pause 9 seconds] The rich scent of fertile earth mingles with the crisp sweetness of mint and the delicate fragrance of roses. [Pause 8 seconds] And as the garden prepares for night's embrace, you can feel yourself similarly turning inward, preparing for rest, becoming one with this tranquil sanctuary. [Pause 12 seconds] The last rays of sunlight caress your face with warmth, while the emerging evening air wraps around you like a comfortable blanket. [Pause 10 seconds]
