1
00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>But first a few minutes that belong only to you.

2
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>For the next few hours, soft truths will be spoken

3
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:20.199
<v Speaker 1>over you, affirmations for your worth, your peace, your provision,

4
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.399
<v Speaker 1>and your release. You do not need to stay awake

5
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>for a single one. Let them settle into you the

6
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 1>way night settles over a city, slowly, kindly, completely settling. Now, breathe,

7
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>we begin.

8
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>This is your time now, not the day's time, not

9
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:59.320
<v Speaker 2>anyone else's time, yours. You have arrived at the edge

10
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>of rest, and there is nothing left that you need

11
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>to do. The list can wait, the messages can wait,

12
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>the worries can wait. Everything that asked something of you

13
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 2>today has been set down, and you are free to

14
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 2>be still. Let your body settle into whatever is holding

15
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:26.640
<v Speaker 2>you tonight.

16
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 1>Feel the weight of you, the honest, tired weight of you,

17
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 1>sinking slowly into the mattress, the pillow, the quiet dark

18
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>of your room. You do not have to hold yourself

19
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 1>up anymore. The night will hold you. Take a slow

20
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 1>breath in through your nose, hold it for a moment, gently,

21
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and let it leave you through your mind, unhurried, like

22
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>a sigh you have been saving all day. Again, in

23
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>through the nose and out through the mouth, each breath

24
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>of small arrival, each exhale, a small letting go. Tonight

25
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I will be speaking affirmations over you, soft truths, spoken slowly,

26
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the way you would speak to someone you love who

27
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>has finally come home. You do not need to repeat

28
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>them out loud, You do not need to stay awake

29
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>for them. They will work their way into you, whether

30
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you are listening closely or drifting far away. That is

31
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 1>the nature of truth spoken gently, It finds its way in.

32
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>So let your eyes close if they want to close.

33
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Let your jow loosen, Let your shoulders drop away from

34
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>your ears. Down, down, down, into the warmth of the bed.

35
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>You are here, You are safe, and you are enough

36
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 1>right now, exactly as you are, before you do another

37
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 1>single thing. We will begin with the breath, and then

38
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 1>we will walk slowly through the truths you carry to night,

39
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>your worth, your peace, your provision, and your release. Four gardens,

40
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>four soft rooms. You may walk them with me, or

41
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you may fall asleep at the doorway of the very

42
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 1>first one. Both are perfect, Both are exactly right. There

43
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>is no wrong way to listen to this. There is

44
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>only you resting, being reminded of what was always true.

45
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Before the words, the breath, before the truth, the stillness

46
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 1>that receives it. Breathe in slowly one two three, and

47
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>hold and breathe out slowly one two three four. Again

48
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 1>in one two three, hold out one two three four.

49
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Feel how the body already knows this rhythm. It has

50
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 1>been breathing you all day without being asked. It will

51
00:04:54.680 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>breathe you all night without being told. You are carried

52
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 1>by something faithful, something that does not forget you, even

53
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>in sleep. Now, as you breathe, I want you to

54
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.600
<v Speaker 1>imagine that each breath in draws in a quiet light,

55
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>soft warm, unhurried, and each bread out releases something the

56
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 1>day left behind. Tension in the forehead, tightness in the chest,

57
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the small clenched places where you stored the stress so

58
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>no one would see it. Breathe in the quiet light,

59
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Breathe out the day. Breathe in the quiet light. Breathe

60
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 1>out the day. One more, breathe in and out. Notice

61
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>how much softer you are already. Notice how the night

62
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 1>around you seems to lean closer, like a blanket being

63
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:12.759
<v Speaker 1>tucked in at the edges. You are wrapped, You are

64
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 1>tended to. You are not alone in the dark, and

65
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>now the affirmations begin. Let them fall over you like

66
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 1>slow rain on warm soil. You do not have to

67
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>catch every drop. The ground of you knows what to

68
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 1>do with rain. Rest now and receive. The first garden

69
00:06:43.199 --> 00:07:00.759
<v Speaker 1>is the garden of worth. Walk slowly here this I

70
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>am enough. I am enough because I exist, And that

71
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 1>was always the whole recorreminanate I am enough. Say it

72
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>inwardly now, so as a secret told the year own heart.

73
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean enough. There is a version of you that

74
00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:00.079
<v Speaker 1>wakes up in the morning and immediately begins to make

75
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 1>sure how much de ti to you, how far behind

76
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>am I? You is staysappintraating me. That measuring for sees

77
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 1>a build. It was told to you a long time

78
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 1>ago by a world that only knew her to laugh

79
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:28.199
<v Speaker 1>a kin you meant, but you are enough, a machine

80
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:37.159
<v Speaker 1>that produces you are a person who is loved. And

81
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 1>tonight the measuring is over. I release the need to

82
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 1>prove myself. I release the need to earn my rest.

83
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:52.039
<v Speaker 1>I release the need to prove myself. I release the

84
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>need to earn my rest. Feel that release move through

85
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 1>your shoulders, through your hands,
