00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>You do not need to solve anything tonight. You do

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>not need to figure anything out. You do not need

3
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to plan, You do not need to worry. You only

4
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>need to breathe. You only need to let go. Your

5
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:31.679
<v Speaker 1>body knows how to sleep. Your body has known since

6
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>you are born. Your body remembers. Your body knows the way.

7
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Trust your body. Let your body lead. Your mind is

8
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>allowed to wander. Let your tongue rest gently against the

9
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 1>roof of your mouth, or curl softly at its bottom,

10
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 1>whichever feels more natural. Either way, the muscles of your

11
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>face are learning to release. Now, let your attention drift

12
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>to the back of your head, to the place where

13
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>your head meets the pillow. Feel the weight of your

14
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>head being held, Feel the pillow receiving you, feel the give,

15
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>feel the support. Not in a rush, You step through

16
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the way you have been stepping through everything tonight, slowly, gently,

17
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>one breath at a time. The door closes behind you.

18
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 2>The door makes no sound. The door does not lock.

19
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>You can return whenever you need to. The door will

20
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>be there. The door is always there. On the other

21
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 2>side of the door.

22
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>The world is soft, The world is far away. The

23
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:20.159
<v Speaker 1>lamps have green glass, shades. The light they give is warm.

24
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>The light is gentle on the eyes. The light is

25
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the kind of light you want. When you are reading

26
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>late into the night. You walk between the shelves. Your

27
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>footsteps are quiet on the thick carpet that covers the floor.

28
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>The carpet is patterned in deep breads and blues. The

29
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:50.719
<v Speaker 1>carpet is old. The carpet is soft. Breath in two.

30
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 2>Three four.

31
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 3>A talk two three four, five, six, seven eight.

32
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:23.039
<v Speaker 4>Let the outbreads threat. Then let the outbreath stretch. It

33
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 4>stretch by one county tennong not forcing juice dot a

34
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 4>one four bead out.

35
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Death's ive. They have been holding expressions all day, surprise, attention, worry, laughter.

36
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Tonight they are invited to do nothing at all. Let

37
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:57.919
<v Speaker 1>the muscles around your eyes soften, Let the small muscles

38
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>of your temples soften, Let your jaw soften. Let the

39
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>space between your teeth widen by a fraction. In this house,

40
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 1>you can simply walk the hallway, look through the doors,

41
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 1>rest your forehead against the window, and feel the cool

42
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>glass and the golden light. The house softens, the hallway fades,

43
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>The doors close one by one gently. The way doors

44
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>close in a dream. The window dissolves, the glass becomes air,

45
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 1>the light becomes memory. The dream is over, but the

46
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 1>feeling of the dream remains. The echo is the kind

47
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 1>of echo that belongs in a house like this, a

48
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>house that is too large to be silent, too empty

49
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to be still. You come to a door that is open.

50
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Through the door, you can see a room. The room

51
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>is a bedroom. The room has a large bed made

52
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>up with white linens. The room has a window that

53
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 1>looks out over a garden. The room has a chair

54
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>in the corner and a small table with a book

55
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 1>on it. You are loved by this moment. You are enough.

56
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 1>You have always been enough, You will always be enough.

57
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Let these truths settle. Let them sink into your chest,

58
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Let them sink into your belly, Let them sink into

59
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 1>your bones. Let them be there when you wake, Let

60
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 1>them be there in the morning. You put your hand

61
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>on the knob, you turn it. The door swings inward

62
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 1>on silent hinges. Beyond the door is the room of rest.

63
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>The room has been waiting for you. The room has

64
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 1>always been waiting for you, even on the days you

65
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>forgot it existed, even on the days you told yourself

66
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:49.879
<v Speaker 1>you did not have time to enter. But tonight you

67
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>have time. Tonight you are stepping through. Let your attention

68
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>rise very gently, to the top of your head, to

69
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the crown, to the soft place where the hair begins.

70
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 1>That place is quiet, now that place is letting go.

71
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Feel the muscles of your forehead, the small muscles above

72
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>your eyebrows, the tiny muscles at the corners of your eyes.

73
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Feel them soften, feel them release. The fireplace is not lit,

74
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 1>but you can imagine the fire. You can imagine the warmth.

75
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 1>You can imagine sitting in the chair beside it, reading,

76
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 1>listening to the rain. The sitting room is for winter evenings.

77
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>The sitting room is not for tonight. You walk on,

78
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you come to a staircase. The staircase goes up, the

79
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>staircase goes down. You do not need to take the staircase.

80
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>You only need to see it. Tonight they can do nothing.

81
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Let your attention return to your chest. Feel your chest rise,

82
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>feel your chest fall, Feel the rhythm of your breathing.

83
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Do not change the rhythm, just notice it. Notice how

84
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the breath comes in, Notice how the breath goes out.

85
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Notice the small pause between That pause is where peace lives.

86
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:38.639
<v Speaker 1>Feel your heart beating inside your chest, feel it doing

87
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:44.679
<v Speaker 1>its work. Feel the weight of your belly, Feel the

88
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>warmth of your belly. The belly is the soft center

89
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:55.600
<v Speaker 1>of you. The belly is where you hold your feelings.

90
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Let it be soft tonight.
