Calm a Wired Body Before Sleep

Now, as you continue to stand by this peaceful lake, I want you to imagine taking a step forward into the shallow water. The water is perfectly warm, exactly the right temperature. As your feet touch the water, you feel an immediate sense of relief. It's as if the water itself has healing properties, designed specifically to draw out any remaining tension or restlessness from your body. Take another step deeper. The water now reaches your ankles, and you can feel all the tension in your feet and lower legs simply melting away. Another step. The water reaches your calves now, and that soothing, healing sensation moves up your legs, releasing every muscle, every fiber. With each step deeper into this healing water, your body remembers more and more how to be calm, how to be peaceful, how to be ready for sleep. The water reaches your knees now. And you notice that your breathing has become slower, deeper, more rhythmic. Your heart rate is settling into a peaceful, steady rhythm. The water continues to rise as you move deeper, reaching your thighs, your hips. And with it, that wonderful sense of release continues to spread throughout your entire body.

As you stand in this healing water, your body is learning a new pattern. A pattern of releasing that wired energy naturally and easily when bedtime arrives. Your nervous system is remembering how to shift smoothly from the active state of day into the peaceful state of night. From now on, when your head touches the pillow, your body will automatically begin this same process of release. The moment you lie down to sleep, your muscles will remember this feeling of letting go. Your mind will recall this sense of peace and calm. That wired, restless energy will simply flow out of you, just as it's flowing out of you now. Your body knows how to sleep. It's a natural function, as natural as breathing. And just as you don't have to think about breathing, you won't have to think about falling asleep. It will simply happen. Naturally, easily, peacefully. Each night, as you prepare for bed, your body will automatically begin to wind down. Your nervous system will shift gears without any effort from you. The transition from wakefulness to sleep will become as smooth and natural as the gentle lapping of water against the shore.

Imagine yourself tomorrow night, getting ready for bed. You notice how naturally your body begins to relax as you go through your bedtime routine. There's no struggle, no fighting against wired energy. Instead, you feel that familiar, pleasant sensation of your muscles beginning to release. When you lie down and your head touches the pillow, you feel that same peaceful sensation you're experiencing now. Your body remembers this moment, this feeling of complete release and calm. Sleep comes to you naturally, easily, the way it's meant to. See yourself a week from now, enjoying this new pattern of natural sleep. Night after night, your body automatically knows how to let go of the day's energy and prepare for rest. You trust your body's natural wisdom. You trust its ability to sleep peacefully and deeply. And months from now, you look back and remember how simple it became once you allowed your body to return to its natural rhythm. This is your new normal. Natural, peaceful, restorative sleep.

As you continue to float in this healing water, feeling completely peaceful and relaxed, you can simply allow yourself to drift. There's nothing you need to do, nowhere you need to go. Just float here in this perfect state of calm and peace. Your body is completely relaxed now, completely free of that wired energy. You can simply let yourself drift deeper and deeper into this peaceful state. Deeper and deeper into natural, restful sleep. Let yourself go now. Let sleep come to you naturally, easily, peacefully. Drifting now. Floating into deep, restorative sleep.

Sleep now. Deep, natural, peaceful sleep. Your body knows exactly what to do. Rest now. Let go completely. Peaceful sleep. Natural sleep. Deep, restorative sleep. Sleep.
