Moonlight Library (ASMR)

For a certain kind of a person there are few places in the world that produce such a sense of profound calm as The Moonlight library. Housed in an ancient domed building in the middle of a cobbled square. It boasts a world class collection, lenient borrowing terms, and unique opening hours. You see, The Moonlight Library is only open at night, but while it is open anyone is welcome to come inside to browse the shelves, borrow books, or just soak up the atmosphere. There are plenty of good books here as well as plenty of perfect places to curl up with the one. Taking a tour of the library like this is encouraged, so long as we are considerate. All that is asked of us is that we keep our voices down out of respect for the other readers who are here to enjoy this lovely space. Before we begin, I think it's nice start with a little wind down. Tonight's wind down is a visualization. So when you're ready, let's begin. So just take a moment to get comfortable, letting go of the day. Enjoying that feeling of having stopped, of having nothing left to do. We're going to focus the attention of the mind on the different parts of the body. Noticing as the muscle in the body switch off for the night leaving the body feeling rested, and leaving the mind more at ease. So starting down at the toes, and just a sense of the muscles switching off. The feet, the arches, all those muscles switching off. Same in the lower half of the legs. So any tension being let go as the muscles switch off, shut down. in the upper half of the legs, any tension melting away, being let go of. Into the area of the hips, the pelvis, again, any muscles shutting down for the night, completely at rest. Everything from the waist down is heavy, at ease. The muscles in the lower back and the stomach, now switching off. Middle of the back, around the diaphragm, the upper back, and the chest. So any muscles not needed, shutting down, switching off for the night. The shoulders switching off, the upper half of the arms and the lower half of the arms, switching off. The hands, the fingers, chest, switching off. Any muscles around the throat and the neck, switching off. The head, the face, the jaw, the eyes, any last areas of tension, melting away as the muscles shut down, switch off, at rest for the night and allowing thoughts to come and go, allowing the mind and body the space they need to rest. Long ago when the Moonlight Library was new, people read by the light of candles. In the oldest books you might even the catch the faintest whiff of candle wax. With electricity it's much easier for us to read through the night and there's far less risk of accidents. Gold chandeliers hang from the ceiling...
