概要

 Welcome. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here. You know, Saturday mornings in early February have this particular energy, don't they? That lingering weekend feeling mixed with the whisper of everything waiting to be done. Your mind might be spinning a little, or maybe you're already thinking about tonight, wondering if sleep will come easily. I want you to know that whatever brought you here today, we're going to spend the next few minutes together creating some calm.

Let's start by finding a comfortable seat. Maybe you're in bed already, or curled up somewhere cozy. Wherever you are is perfect. Feel your body settling into this moment, like a cup of tea finally finding its stillness after being stirred. There's nowhere else you need to be right now.

Begin by noticing your breath. Not changing it, just noticing. Imagine your breath as a gentle wave rolling in and out from the shore of your body. In through your nose, out through your mouth. Feel that coolness as you breathe in, that warmth as you release. No effort here, just observation.

Now I want to guide you through something I call the body's permission slip. As you breathe, we're going to mentally journey through your body, and at each stop, you're going to give that part permission to rest. Start at the crown of your head. Breathe in, and on the exhale, whisper to yourself, I give my mind permission to rest. Notice any tension just softening like butter on warm toast.

Move down to your shoulders, those faithful companions that hold so much. Permission granted. Let them drop. Feel your chest, your heart, your belly. With each exhale, you're giving permission. Permission to let go of today. Permission to release what cannot be solved tonight. When you reach your feet, take one final breath and feel yourself anchored, heavy, safe.

Here's what I want you to carry into your evening. When bedtime comes, remember this practice. Even two minutes of this body scan will signal to your nervous system that rest is allowed. You don't have to earn sleep or figure everything out first. It's your birthright.

Thank you so much for joining me on Sleep Soundly: Daily Mindfulness Exercises for Better Rest. Your presence here matters, and I hope you felt that calm settling in. Please subscribe so we can practice together again tomorrow. Sweet dreams are waiting for you.
