Dear You,
In the quiet of the night, when sleep seems as distant as the furthest star, I hope this letter finds you and brings a sense of calm to your restless mind. Nights like these can feel isolating, as if you're the only soul awake in a world of slumber, but through these words, I'm right here keeping you company.
First, let's take a slow, deep breath together. Inhale... hold it for a moment... and exhale. Feel the tension begin to loosen, the thoughts that race through your mind starting to slow their pace. This moment is for you, a pause in the endless stream of doing and thinking, a chance to simply be.
If sleep eludes you, perhaps your mind is bustling with thoughts, worries, plans, or memories. It's okay to acknowledge them. But for now, imagine placing those thoughts in a box beside your bed. They'll be there in the morning if you need them, but for tonight, they can wait.
Imagine now, if you will, a journey. Picture yourself in a place of absolute tranquility—maybe it's a serene beach where the waves gently kiss the shore, or a vast meadow under a moonlit sky, the grass cool beneath your feet. Wherever it is, you're safe here, enveloped in peace.
As you explore this place, notice the details. The softness of the sand or grass underfoot, the gentle sound of the night, the soothing rhythm of your own breath. With every breath, you sink deeper into relaxation, each exhalation a step further into this serene landscape.
If sleep is a gentle river, then let these words be your vessel, guiding you towards it. There's no hurry, no pressure. Allow yourself to drift along its course, carried softly by the current, closer to the shores of sleep with each word you read.
Remember, it's okay to simply rest without sleeping. Your body and mind are still receiving the benefits of relaxation. So, if sleep insists on waiting, rest in the knowledge that you are doing something good for yourself by just lying here, calm and peaceful.
And when you finally feel sleep's embrace, let it take you without reservation. Know that I'm wishing you a night of restful, uninterrupted sleep, and a morning filled with a gentle awakening, refreshed and renewed.
Until the sun rises, may this letter be your lullaby, a quiet reminder that you're not alone, and that peace is always within reach.
With warmth and wishes for sweet dreams,
Jordan Spring
