Welcome.
As you prepare for deep,
Restful sleep,
Take a moment to fully arrive.
Let the day melt away behind you.
There's nothing more you need to do.
Nothing more you need to be,
Except present,
Here and now.
Begin to draw your awareness to your breath.
Let it move softly through you.
Inhale peace.
Exhale any tension.
With each breath,
Feel your body becoming heavier and more relaxed,
As if you're sinking into the support beneath you.
And now,
Allow your awareness to gently lift away from your physical body.
Let yourself dissolve into stillness.
You are not your body.
You are not your thoughts.
You are the presence beneath it all.
You are spirit.
In this peaceful space,
A path appears.
A soft trail of light that leads you gently forward to a garden unlike any other.
As you step into this sacred garden,
You are greeted by a beautiful presence.
A departed loved one,
Or maybe your spirit guide.
When you are ready,
Say softly to spirit,
Please blend your spirit with mine.
As your energies begin to blend,
You may feel a coolness,
A warmth,
A tingle,
Or maybe nothing at all.
Whatever arises,
Or doesn't,
It's perfect.
Trust that spirit is here,
Merging gently with your energy,
One soul,
One light.
Now,
It's time to receive.
Focus on your heart center,
And when you're ready,
Feel a message.
Perhaps it's a word,
A feeling,
A knowing,
Or an image.
Whatever arises,
Welcome it.
Even if it's subtle,
Even if it's silence,
Trust that spirit has spoken in the language of your soul.
Now,
In your heart,
Invite spirit to walk with you through your dreams.
Ask them to bring peace,
Insight,
Or simply their presence as you sleep.
And thank them,
Thank them for already doing so.
Feel their love wrap around you like a blanket of light.
And gently,
The garden begins to fade.
You're being guided back,
Back to your breath,
Back to your body,
Back to the soft,
Sacred space of sleep.
You are safe.
You are never alone.
You are held by spirit,
Always.
May your dreams be filled with light.
