Welcome to this journey of deep rest and relaxation,
Tonight I will guide you on a peaceful adventure to a serene and magical place,
A space where you can let go of your thoughts and sink into the comfort of deep restorative sleep.
Lay down and get comfortable,
Making sure your body is supported and at ease.
Place your hands wherever they feel most comfortable,
By your sides,
Resting on your belly or gently over your heart.
When you're ready,
Gently close your eyes.
Take a deep slow breath in through your nose,
Into your belly and exhale softly through your mouth.
As you breathe in again,
Feel your body filling with calmness and as you breathe out,
Release any tension,
Letting go of anything that no longer serves you.
With each breath,
Allow yourself to settle deeper into relaxation,
Let go of your thoughts,
Your worries and the events of your day.
Imagine you are being held by the earth beneath you,
Supported in perfect safety and comfort.
As you continue to breathe,
Let the space around you become still,
As if time itself has slowed down.
Now,
Begin to bring your awareness to your body,
Starting with your feet,
Gently release any tension you may be holding there.
Imagine your feet becoming warm and relaxed,
Sinking deeper into the surface beneath you.
Let this feeling move up through your ankles,
Calves,
Your knees and with each breath,
Feel your legs becoming heavier.
Continue this wave of relaxation up to your hips,
Your lower back and your stomach.
Let your breath flow easily and feel each muscle letting go of any tension.
With every exhale,
You move deeper into relaxation.
Bring your awareness to your chest,
Your shoulders and your arms.
Allow your shoulders to soften and feel your arms become heavy,
Warm and at ease.
Let this peaceful sensation flow into your neck and face,
Your jaw,
Cheeks and forehead all softened.
Every part of your face softens with each breath,
You may even feel your eyelids becoming heavy and relaxed,
Your breath becoming deeper and slower.
Take a moment to notice how your body feels now,
Completely relaxed,
Supported and at ease.
You are safe,
You are calm and you are ready to drift off into a peaceful moment.
Imagine now that you are standing at the edge of a beautiful,
Magical forest.
The air is cool and refreshing and the atmosphere feels soft and welcoming like a dream.
There is a soft,
Glowing light all around you,
Casting gentle hues of purple,
Blue and green.
As you step into this forest,
You notice the ground beneath you is soft and the air smells sweet with the fragrance of fresh pine and wildflowers.
The forest is alive but in a gentle,
Peaceful way.
The trees here are tall,
Their branches stretching high and there is an ethereal glow coming from every direction,
It feels safe and peaceful like a sanctuary.
A winding path that leads you deeper into the forest.
The path is lined with glowing mushrooms,
Bright,
Luminescent orbs lighting your way.
Their soft,
Pastel colours shimmer in the dim light,
Casting a calm,
Soothing glow all around you.
As you walk,
The path becomes more magical.
An archway forms and you see delicate vines twisting and curling around the trees that form the archway,
Their shapes almost like intricate living artwork.
These vines are alive and they seem to be gently moving in rhythm with the forest itself,
Guiding you onwards.
Along the edges of the path,
You notice beautiful luminescent flowers in all colours of the rainbow,
Glowing softly in the dimness.
Their petals seem to shimmer and pulse with a quiet energy as if the flowers themselves are alive with light and magic.
As if the forest is embracing you and the calming air feels gentle on your skin,
And the forest seems to be singing a quiet,
Peaceful song,
A melody.
As you walk,
You feel the presence of something otherworldly nearby,
In the distance,
A faint glow catches your attention.
You turn toward it and as you approach,
You see a small,
Shimmering figure,
Soft wings fluttering in the air,
A delicate being with a gentle,
Knowing presence,
A fairy.
The fairy's wings are translucent,
Catching the light like the surface of water.
Her movements are graceful and fluid,
And her laughter is like the tinkling of wind chimes.
Light and full of joy,
She smiles warmly at you,
Her eyes filled with kindness,
And she beckons you to follow her.
The fairy leads you down the path,
Her light illuminating the way.
She doesn't speak,
But you sense her warmth and reassurance,
As though she is guiding you with the quiet energy of the forest itself.
You feel safe and at ease in her presence,
Knowing that you are exactly where you need to be.
As you walk together,
The fairy disappears into the shadows ahead,
Leaving behind a trail of soft,
Sparkling dust in the air.
You follow her with a sense of calm curiosity,
Knowing that the forest is unfolding its magic for you.
After a little while,
The path opens up into a clearing.
You find yourself standing in a beautiful,
Peaceful glade,
Surrounded by tall,
Strong pine trees.
The scent of fresh pine fills the air,
And you see pine cones scattered across the soft,
Lush bed of earth.
It feels like the earth itself is inviting you to rest here.
You look up to the sky and see glowing fireflies and other tiny,
Luminous creatures fluttering in the air,
Their soft light twinkling like stars.
It feels as though the whole forest is alive with gentle light,
And you are at the centre of it,
Safe,
Held and completely at peace.
As you take in this beauty,
You feel a sense of deep comfort and ease wash over you.
The forest seems to guide you gently to a place where you can lie down and rest.
A bed of soft,
Flush grass appears before you.
It looks soft,
Almost like fur,
And you can feel the cool earth beneath you,
Soft and supportive.
This is your place to rest.
The grass beneath you is soft and comforting.
The gentle vibrations of the earth help you feel grounded and relaxed.
I'm here now,
And as you sink into the earth,
It cradles up around you slightly,
Like a hug from Mother Earth.
She's holding you safely.
Your body feels light,
As if floating just above the surface.
Supported by her,
You let go completely.
Take a moment to feel how your body is now,
Completely relaxed,
Fully supported,
And ready to drift off into a peaceful,
Restful sleep.
As you lie here,
Notice how the soft glow of the forest seems to fade into a peaceful darkness.
The sky above you is soft and velvety,
The stars twinkling just like the glow of the fireflies you saw earlier.
This gentle darkness is warm,
Peaceful,
And enveloping,
Like a soft,
Cozy blanket.
Allow yourself to feel safe and completely at ease.
Every part of your body is relaxed,
Your mind calm,
And your heart at peace.
Let the forest,
The soft grass beneath you,
And the peaceful energy around you carry you deep into the darkness to surround you now,
Knowing that it is time to rest.
You are now ready to drift off to sleep,
With your body as you begin to fall into sleep.
Trust that you will awaken when the time is right,
Feeling refreshed,
Recharged,
And full of energy for the day ahead.
Good night,
And sweet dreams.
