Welcome to Bedtime Alchemy,
Dreamlike meditations to empower your inner world.
My name is Ashley Bentley,
And this is your space to unwind,
To journey inward,
And to plant seeds of change.
As you relax and listen,
Your mind will naturally begin to enter a theta brainwave state,
A state of deep relaxation and openness.
In this state,
Your subconscious becomes the fertile ground for transformation,
Digesting the empowering imagery and ideas woven into these stories.
And as you drift into sleep,
Your mind will work with these stories like a master artist,
Painting them into the fabric of your dreams.
Each night,
You'll awaken just a little closer to the fullest expression of your true self.
So let's begin.
As you prepare to settle into the comfort of your bed,
Allow your body to soften,
And your breath to deepen,
And your mind to quieten.
And feel the weight of the day gently lifting away,
Leaving you lighter,
Calmer,
And more open to the journey ahead.
Good,
That's right.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Imagine yourself stepping into a serene,
Mystical forest.
The twilight sky above is painted in hues of soft lavender and deep indigo,
A quiet promise of rest and renewal.
And the air is crisp and cool,
Carrying with it the faint scent of earth and leaves.
And the trees around you stand tall and ancient,
Their branches whispering secrets of the past as they sway gently in the breeze.
Each step you take on the soft,
Moss-covered path feels effortless,
As if the forest itself is guiding you forward,
And the light of the setting sun filters through the canopy,
Creating dappled patterns that dance at your feet.
In the heart of this forest,
You notice something unusual,
A soft glow emanating from the ground ahead,
And as you approach it,
The glow intensifies,
Illuminating a small mound of earth.
And you watch as it pulses gently,
Like a heartbeat,
And you begin to feel a profound sense of familiarity as you stand before it.
Without hesitation,
Your hands move instinctively,
Gently brushing away the soil to reveal a hidden entrance.
The doorway beckons,
Inviting you to step into the earth's embrace.
You descend slowly,
The cool air of the underground passage wrapping around you like a comforting blanket,
And the walls shimmer with the light of glowing crystals embedded in the earth,
Their soft luminescence casting a soothing glow.
Each crystal seems to hum softly,
Resonating with a deep,
Ancient wisdom that vibrates through your very being.
You feel safe,
Nurtured,
And deeply connected as you journey further into the earth,
And the passage opens into a magnificent chamber,
Vast and radiant.
The air here is alive with gentle energy that seems to cradle you in its warmth,
And in the center of this sacred space lies a cocoon-like structure,
Suspended slightly above the ground and pulsating with a rhythmic glow.
The cocoon exudes a golden light,
And as you gaze at it,
You understand that this is no ordinary cocoon.
Within it lies a vision of you,
Your most authentic self,
Vibrant and whole,
Waiting patiently to emerge.
This version of you has always been present,
Running alongside you through the chapters of your life,
Yet it has remained hidden,
Hibernating,
Waiting for the moment when you would be ready to embrace its brilliance.
The sight fills you with a deep sense of recognition,
Awe,
And wonder.
This is the self you were always meant to be,
The self that is unafraid to shine.
As you approach the cocoon,
You feel its light growing stronger,
Reaching out to meet you.
You sense the energy shifting,
As if the time for emergence has finally arrived.
You place your hands gently on its surface,
And a warmth floods through you,
Filling you with a profound sense of love and acceptance.
And the cocoon begins to respond,
Its glow intensifying,
The rhythm quickening like the drumbeat of new life.
And slowly,
The cocoon starts to open,
Layers of golden light unfurl,
Revealing the form within,
And you see yourself,
Radiant,
Confident,
And free.
This is the version of you that has been waiting,
Nurturing its strength and talents in quiet patience.
This self steps forward,
Meeting your gaze with eyes full of wisdom and compassion,
And you feel an overwhelming sense of unity as this authentic self extends a hand to you,
Inviting you to merge.
As your hands touch,
A wave of energy flows between you,
Dissolving the barriers that once held you back.
Fears,
Doubts,
And old stories of limitation melt away,
Replaced by a deep knowing of your worth and potential.
Do you feel yourself aligning with this powerful version of you?
The light of your true self infusing every cell of your being,
And the chamber around you begins to shift,
Reflecting your transformation.
The walls shimmer with vibrant colors,
The crystals glowing brighter in celebration,
The energy in the air feels electric,
Alive,
As if the very fabric of the universe is rejoicing in your awakening.
You stand taller,
Your heart open,
And your spirit unburdened.
You know,
Without a shadow of a doubt,
That you are ready to step fully into your light.
As you turn to leave the chamber,
You notice a path of glowing stones leading upward.
Each step you take feels purposeful,
As if you are ascending into a new chapter of your life.
The air grows warmer,
The light brighter,
Until you find yourself back in the forest.
Yet everything feels different now.
The trees seem to bow in acknowledgement.
The stars above twinkle in approval.
And the earth beneath your feet hums with life.
And you walk through the forest with a newfound sense of clarity and strength.
The shadows that once seemed daunting now feel like allies,
Reminding you of how far you've come.
And the path leads you to a clearing,
Where a gentle breeze wraps around you,
Carrying whispers of encouragement and love.
And you pause,
Looking up at the night sky,
And taking a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
The stars seem to align in patterns that echo your transformation.
It's as if the universe itself is affirming your journey.
In the clearing,
You notice a small pond of crystal clear water,
Shimmering under the light of the moon.
Drawn to its serene beauty,
You kneel beside it,
Gazing into its depths.
And the water reflects your transformed self back at you,
Radiant and empowered.
And you dip your hands into the cool water,
Feeling its energy wash over you,
Cleansing away any remnants of doubt or hesitation.
And as the ripples fade,
The pool becomes still again.
Holding your reflection as a reminder of your strength.
You rise up and continue along the path,
Each step filling you with a deeper sense of purpose.
And the forest around you seems to come alive with vibrant colors and sounds.
Birds sing a melody that feels like celebration,
And the leaves rustle in harmony with the rhythm of your footsteps.
The journey feels lighter now,
As if the forest itself is guiding and supporting you.
Ahead,
You see a majestic tree unlike any other.
Its trunk is wide and strong,
Its branches reaching high into the heavens.
This tree feels ancient and wise,
Its presence grounding and comforting.
And as you approach,
You notice symbols etched in its bark.
Messages of encouragement and wisdom left by those who have walked this path before you.
You place your hand on the tree,
Feeling its steady strength flow into you,
Anchoring you in your newfound self.
The tree's branches part slightly,
Revealing a hidden alcove within its trunk.
And inside,
There's a book resting on a pedestal,
Its cover glowing softly.
You instinctively understand that this book holds the story of your life.
And not just the chapters you've already lived,
But the ones yet to come.
You open the book and see the pages transforming before your eyes,
Filled with vibrant images of your dreams and aspirations.
Each page radiates with possibility,
Inviting you to step into the life you were always meant to lead.
You close the book,
Feeling a deep sense of peace and determination.
As you step back from the tree,
The forest around you seems to glow brighter,
As if reflecting your inner light.
The path ahead is clear,
And you know that you are ready to walk it with confidence and grace.
And as you lie back in your bed,
Allow this vision to stay with you,
And feel the warmth of your authentic self surrounding you,
Nurturing you,
Guiding you towards a future filled with endless possibilities.
You carry the understanding that you are powerful,
Talented,
And worthy of all the beauty life has to offer.
And allow this empowering energy to cradle you as you drift into a deep,
Restful sleep.
Let it remind you that you are on a path of growth and transformation,
And that every step you take is leading you closer to the fullest expression of who you truly are.
Sleep well,
Dear one,
And know that your light will continue to shine,
Illuminating your way and inspiring all those who cross your path.
Sweet dreams.
