[00:43] Bring your body here tonight, dear one, so it can relax, so it can restore, and so you can rest deeply and wholly in the loving arms of sleep. Come inside, and find your breath, using it as a guide into yourself, and away from all the thoughts and emotions left over from the day. Listen to the soft sounds of your inhale and your exhale. Feel the rising and falling of your belly and your chest. Surrender to the slowing rhythm of your body, letting it pull you deeper. Grateful for this breath. Grateful for this body. Grateful for this life. Breathe, and feel it all slow down. As you come deeper into your body, sinking yourself further into the sea of blankets around you. Now, see if you can imagine the soft, warm touch of the night. Lay itself on the crown of your head. Like a comforting, glowing hand, resting itself upon you. Feel the warm enter your head. And calm you. Any thoughts that are floating around quickly dissolve as the hand of the night calms you down. Now, feel the soothing glow of the night spread into your face. Relaxing your eyes. Your cheeks. Your jaw. And your lips. Breathe out. And release. As the soothing hand of the night calms you down. Invite the soft, glowing hand of the night to rest on your neck and shoulders. Feeling the warmth spread itself deep into the muscles and joints. Relieving all the stress and anxiety you might be holding there. Exhale. And release it all. Welcome the tender hands of the night, You are safe here. She's here to guide you as you sleep, calming you, restoring you, loving you. So feel the calming, glowing hands of the night. Softly touch your upper back, and travel slowly down your spine. One vertebrae at a time, releasing the pressure, relaxing the muscles, and melting you further into your bed. Breathe, and feel the soothing hands of the night rest upon your hips. Your thighs, your legs, and your feet. Let yourself feel the glow of the night's energy as it comes down, down, down your body. Letting all those pieces of the day release from you with every breath out. Feeling the warmth of your entire body, glowing with the calming energy of the night. Feeling safe. Feeling relaxed. Sweet dreams, beautiful.
