Better mental health starts with Headspace

Tonight's wind down is a visualization. When you're ready, let's begin. So, no matter what's been going on today, whether it's been a busy day or a calm one, this is an opportunity just to put everything down. To let go of any inner chatter, and find a place of rest in both the body and the mind. So, first, get yourself comfortable in bed, just taking a moment to pause and be still. And when you're ready, taking a big deep breath. Breathing in through the nose, and out through the mouth. And as you breathe out, just allowing the body to sink down into your bed. Feeling the weight of the body. Allowing thoughts to come and go. Just imagining a steady flow of warm sunlight flowing down through the body, dissolving any tension, any discomfort as it begins to fill the body. Starting with the toes, moving up through the feet, and the legs. Being filled with sunlight. The qualities of warmth, space, and ease as it continues to travel up through the body, up past the waist, to the back, and the stomach it's as though it just washes away any discomfort. It continues up through the chest, and the back, into the shoulders, and down the arms, all the way down to the hands and fingers. A sense of relief in the body. And stillness in the mind as it continues to travel up through the neck, and the throat into the head and face all the way to the very top of the body until there's nothing other than that sense of stillness remaining. And now just gently bringing the attention back to the body....
