Switching Off

Tonight's wind down is a visualization. When you're ready, let's begin. So, just take a moment to get comfortable, letting go of the day, enjoying that feeling of having stopped, of having nothing left to do. We're just going to focus the attention of the mind on different parts of the body. Watching as the muscles in the body switch off for the night, leaving the body, feeling rested and believing the mind more at ease. So just starting down at the toes and just a sense of the muscles switching off the feet, the arches, all those muscles switching off. Same in the lower half of the legs. So any tension being let go of as the muscles switch off, shut down, and the upper half of the legs, any tension just melting away, being let go of into the area of the hips, the pelvis. Again, any muscles shutting down for the night, completely at rest. Everything from the waist downward is heavy, at ease. The muscles in the lower back and the stomach now switching off. Middle of the back around the diaphragm, the upper back and the chest. Any muscles not needed shutting down, switching off for the night. The shoulders just switching off. The upper half of the arms and the lower half of the arms, just switching off. The hands, fingers, just switching off. Any muscles around the throat and the neck switching off. The head, the face, the jaw, the eyes, any last areas of tension just melting away as the muscles shut down, switch off, at rest for the night. Allowing thoughts to come and go, just allowing the mind and body, the space they need to rest....
