Bring your nervous system into balance by gradually relaxing your respiratory rate.

Relax into the surface supporting you. Invite images of safety and warmth.

Calm your body. Then, with courage and clarity, turn toward your experience.

Notice thoughts and sensations, and allow yourself to drift into states of sleep.
