Fall Into Rest
A Gentle Descent Into Sleep
This practice is made for the moments when you're tired but not settling, when your body is heavy but your mind is still active, or when the day has left a lingering noise inside you.
What this practice offers
This isn't a meditation you actively follow.
It's a gentle, dissolving experience meant to take you from wakefulness into rest while asking almost nothing of you. Through soft breath cues and an effortless body scan, your system is invited to slow down and settle.
You'll be guided to:
release the momentum of the day
settle into a comfortable sleep position
let the body soften without trying to relax
allow thoughts to drift without engaging them
sink into a quiet, heavy stillness
slip into the threshold between waking and sleep
drift off naturally, without forcing anything
Everything in this practice is slow, calm, and designed to feel like you’re being
gently carried into night.

Why this works
Your body already knows how to fall asleep.It knows the rhythm, the breath, the softening, the inwardness. The challenge is usually that the mind stays active long after the body is ready.
Fall Into Rest helps bridge that space.
It guides your awareness downward — from thinking, to sensing, to simply being. The language is soft and unstructured, the pacing intentionally slow, and the pauses long enough to let your system settle between each phrase.
When to use it
Right before bed
After a stressful evening
When you want to drift out of overthinking
During restless nights
Anytime your mind feels too loud to sleep
When you want a soft, loving presence to guide you
You can use it every night, or only when you need it. The practice adapts to whatever state you're in.
How it feels
It begins gently — with settling, softening, and breathing that requires no effort. Then, the guidance gradually slows into an effortless body scan.
For you, tonight
Let this be a moment to surrender the weight of your day. Let this be a place where you don't have to perform or achieve anything.
Just soften, breathe, and let your body guide you inward.
Sleep will come.
Let yourself fall into it.
