Your body has been waiting for permission to rest. This gentle guided meditation invites you to stop bracing, stop managing, and let stillness hold you the way a still lake holds the trees along its shore. Through slow breathwork, vivid imagery, and spoken affirmations, you will practice the radical act of doing nothing of sinking into whatever surface is beneath you and trusting it to carry your weight. You will explore why rest can feel suspicious in a busy world, why your nervous system has been asking for this pause, and what changes in your body when you finally give it permission to be held.00:00 Welcome and Arrival01:00 Settling In: Stepping Into the Still Lake03:30 The Theme: Permission, Rest, and the Body's Quiet Request08:00 Breathwork: Long Exhales and the Space Between Breaths09:45 Spoken Affirmations10:15 Network Shoutouts and ClosingDesigned for bedtime, midday resets, or any moment when your shoulders are tired of carrying you.
