Candlelight Calm: Let Go of the Day

settle into this moment here at the end of your day let your body feel held by the surface beneath it in our last time together we invited calm to enter tonight we will let a gentle light wash the day away let your attention find your breath noticing its quiet rhythm now imagine a soft warm light like candlelight glowing just above your head

with your next breath in feel this gentle light being drawn into your body and with each breath out feel it begin to spread soft and slow this warm light pools at the crown of your head and begins to flow downwards it softens your scalp and flows over your forehead smoothing away the day it loosens the tiny muscles around your eyes and releases your jaw from any holding

feel this warmth cascade down your neck melting into your shoulders dissolving any weight or tension held there the light spills gently down your arms through your elbows into your wrists hands and each fingertip your arms feel heavy warm and at ease now the warmth fills your chest expanding around your heart it flows down into your belly bringing a deep sense of quiet and ease

the light continues its journey down through your hips your legs warming your knees your ankles and the soles of your feet your entire body is now glowing with this peaceful light there is nothing left to do thoughts may come and go allow them to drift past like soft clouds in a quiet sky rest now

held in this safe quiet light this peace is yours to keep as you drift into sleep there is nothing more that is needed from you tonight simply rest
