Safe Enough to Rest

Safe Enough to Rest offers sound as a quiet signal of permission. It does not ask the body to relax, slow down, or fall asleep. Instead, it remains present long enough for safety—if it comes at all—to be sensed.
 
This piece respects vigilance and wakefulness as protective responses, not obstacles. The sound stays gentle and unhurried, allowing rest to emerge gradually, in its own time, or not at all. Listening can be close, distant, or intermittent without consequence.
 
Safe Enough to Rest is suited for moments when the body wants rest but does not yet trust that it is safe to let go. It can accompany transitions into stillness, periods of quiet lying down, or simply provide company when rest feels uncertain.
 
This work belongs to the Nervous System Safety category and is offered as a place where “safe enough” is sufficient, and rest is never required.
