LONG PAUSE Now, see if you can become aware of the whole room around you. All the room’s sights, sounds, and smells. and invite in happiness naturally fill you,  As a smile spreads across your face. PAUSE Breathe in and deepen the awareness of your room. Look and listen for its rhythms,  it’s life beyond the obvious, and the senses it touches within you. PAUSE Maybe a fan tickles your face with air, or the blinds rattle from a gentle breeze. Take a moment to connect with these rhythms, and let the joy they bring flow through you. PAUSE Now, calmly shift your awareness  to a piece of furniture in the room, like a rocking chair that soothed you in the past,  Or even your bed that has held you in its arms each night. PAUSE And as you gaze at the furniture, acknowledge your appreciation for it, how it’s supported you over time, Then, silently say, “Good night, furniture,”   and let happiness flow through you.   PAUSE Now, inhale a breath and become aware  of the sounds of the room. Sounds that you hold close and that uplift your soul, like the cicadas buzzing outside the window or the tumble of the dryer beyond the wall. PAUSE And, as you listen to these sounds, remember how they’ve soothed you,  even comforted you. And when you’re ready, silently say, “Good night, sounds,” and allow happiness to flow through you. PAUSE Now, fill your lungs again with a purifying breath and gently move your attention  to the scent of your room. Tinges of powder or perfume  lingering in the air or the fragrance of night rain  through an open window. PAUSE Inhale these scents deeply and richly,  deep into you, and graciously accept how they’ve lightened your soul and  heightened your awareness. And when you’re ready,  silently say, “Good night, scents,” and open to happiness flowing through you. PAUSE Gently shift your focus and become aware  of the sensations in the room. The warmth of your bed;  the coolness of the air a cushy pillow  that eases and supports your head, maybe a worn blanket  that you’ve snuggled forever. PAUSE Let these sensations  wrap around you, enfold you. Remember how they’ve comforted you, made you feel safe. And when you’re ready,  silently say, “Good night, sensations,” and feel warm fuzzies flow through you. PAUSE Now, gently notice the moonbeams  glowing on the floors and walls, as you take another breath and cast your eyes above, you see la Luna, the heavenly goddess of the night. PAUSE You know the blessings of the moon and appreciate all her gifts, Night walks in the sand and  shimmering waves at sea. So, when you’re ready, you say, “Good night, Luna,” and “thank you.”  PAUSE The night is here upon you,  Ready to guide you through dreamland, As you float down a river of happiness.
