Sleep Wind-Down

Letting rest meet you slowly.

Arrive

Take a gentle breath.

Tap only as softly as feels comfortable.

You can pause, skip, or place a hand on your heart at any time.

Setup phrase — tap the side of the hand

Even though my body is still holding the day, I invite myself to rest.

Even though my mind is busy, I can soften into this moment.

Even though part of me is still alert, I allow rest to meet me slowly.
