Good evening,
Bonsoir,
And welcome to Big Belly Breathing.
Bienvenue to health.
My name is Vanessa Hutchinson-Zechely and I'm so enthused to lead you on this nighttime audio journey where we practice mindfulness and our breathing practice.
It's time to settle into the magic of the night.
Tonight we'll take a journey into a cozy winter wonderland inspired by our enchanting subscribers Alice and Nora,
Where you'll find comfort and peace under the starry sky in Sixte-Fer-à-Cheval in Haute-Savoie,
France.
As you get ready for sleep,
Let's start by finding a snug and cozy spot in your bed.
Close your eyes and let your imagination soar like an eagle.
Now,
As you nestle into your warm and comfy bed,
Let's practice a special kind of breathing just like the majestic eagle.
It's called eagle breathing.
With each breath in,
Imagine your wings stretching wide just like the wings of a proud eagle.
Inhale and feel your wings spread open wide.
Exhale,
Let go of any tension or worries.
Remember to breathe with me.
Ready?
Inhale,
Feel the cool,
Crisp winter air filling your lungs.
Exhale,
As you breathe out,
Imagine you're floating high in the sky.
Inhale,
Like an eagle,
Your light is a feather soaring through the chilly night.
Exhale,
Any worries melt away,
Leaving you feeling safe and cozy.
As you continue your eagle breathing,
Picture the snow-covered landscape of the French Alps all around you.
The world outside is dressed in a soft,
Sparkling blanket of snow,
Glistening like a million diamonds under the moonlight.
The trees stand tall and silent,
With their branches heavy under the weight of the snow.
Imagine the soft crunch of your footsteps as you take a stroll through this winter wonderland,
Leaving a trail of footprints behind.
The alpine night sky is clear and filled with bright,
Twinkling stars.
You can even see the silvery path of the Milky Way stretching across the vastness of space.
As you gaze up at the heavens,
You might even catch a glimpse of a shooting star,
Or two.
Make a wish,
My dear sleepy friends.
In this tranquil alpine winter wonderland,
All is calm and all is still.
The world is at rest,
And you,
My dear sleepy friend,
Are safe and warm in your cozy bed.
Now,
As you continue to breathe like an eagle,
It's time to imagine finding a snug and sheltered spot in this winter scene.
Picture a soft nest made of warm,
Fluffy feathers,
Just like the nest of an eagle high up in the mountains.
Your cozy nest is made of the softest,
Fluffiest feathers you can imagine.
It's as if a kind eagle crafted it just for you,
Ensuring you'd be snug and warm on this chilly winter night.
The feathers are a pristine,
Glistening white,
Like fresh,
Fallen snow,
And they cradle you gently as you settle in.
As you snuggle into your nest,
It molds to your body,
Providing the perfect amount of support and comfort.
It's just the right size for you,
With the edges curving up to create a protective barrier,
Much like an eagle's nest high in the treetops.
The feathers emit a gentle,
Soothing warmth,
Cocooning you in their soft embrace.
It's a cozy haven where you can let go of any worries or cares,
Knowing that you are safe and sound.
The only sound you hear is the soft rustling of feathers,
Like a lullaby,
As you drift off into a peaceful night's sleep.
Your nest is the coziest place in the world,
And you snuggle down into it,
Feeling the warmth and comfort all around you.
You are safe and protected,
Like a baby bird in its mother's nest.
As you rest in your nest,
You feel the gentle rhythm of your eagle breathing,
And it lulls you deeper and deeper into the peaceful world of dreams.
You're in the heart of this winter wonderland,
My dear friend,
And the world is serene,
Quiet,
And full of dreams.
The moon shines its silver light through your window,
And the stars twinkle like bedtime stories.
With each eagle breath you take,
You feel lighter and cozier,
Just like an eagle drifting on the night breeze.
The snow-covered landscape outside is a soft,
White blanket of dreams,
And your cozy nest is your own special place in this magical winter wonderland.
As you continue to breathe like an eagle,
Imagine the dreams that will take you to far-off places where you can be an explorer and have the most magical adventures.
You are so special,
My dear friend,
And you deserve the most wonderful dreams.
Let your eagle breathing carry you away into the world of sleep,
Where everything is possible and every dream is filled with joy and happiness.
Feel the coziness of your bed,
Your nest in this winter wonderland.
With each breath,
You float higher into the starry night,
And as you drift off to sleep,
Imagine the soft,
Gentle feathers of the eagle keeping you warm and safe.
You're in the most peaceful dreams now,
Where everything is just good night,
My dear friend.
Sleep well,
And may your dreams be as magical as this cozy winter wonderland.
Sweet dreams.
Bonne nuit.
