Welcome,
Dear one,
To this transformative sleep meditation.
Please take a moment to find a comfortable place to rest,
Posy up,
And close your eyes.
As you ready yourself for a peaceful night's sleep,
Making any last minute adjustments,
Take a few deep and relaxing breaths.
Breathing in and feeling the life fill your body,
And breathe out,
Relaxing each muscle.
Breathe in again,
Breathing in that good oxygen that gives your body what it needs,
And breathe out and away anything that needs to be released.
Breathe in the good,
Release that which is no longer needed.
Now allow your breath to find a comfortable rhythm.
Let's begin.
In your mind,
Picture a lush garden.
All around you,
You see life and color.
It fills you with so much joy and gratitude.
Breathe in deeply,
And enjoy the sweet smelling air.
Picture yourself now in miniature form,
Resting on a leaf as a humble little caterpillar.
There is no danger in this place.
Only life.
You are safe,
Relaxed,
And content.
Take a moment to soak in all the nourishment that this beautiful,
Flourishing place provides.
From your surroundings,
You have everything you need to grow.
Reflect on what nourishment is needed in your life right now.
What good things would fill your body,
Heart,
And mind with what it needs most?
As you revel in the abundance surrounding you,
Picture yourself taking in the very things they symbolize for you.
Whatever it is you need on a deep,
Energetic level.
Soak them in,
Feeding yourself now,
Feeling nourished and so full of life.
Imagine your tiny body growing and growing as you fill up your body with all that it needs.
Feel yourself perfectly satiated,
Ready for the journey ahead.
You feel a shift taking place in your energy.
No longer do you feel an instinct to fill yourself,
But instead to calm yourself.
To sit in your fullness with gratitude,
Pregnant with promise.
Find a spot on a branch that feels safe and secure.
A place where you can rest and relax for this next stretch of your development.
You attach yourself to this place of security now.
Feeling the strength of the branch,
How solid and secure it is to be connected to it.
Reflect on who in your life acts as that security,
That solid strength for you.
Feel gratitude for those pillars of strength you have in your life,
The people who you can rely on and draw strength from.
Now you come into a place of perfect stillness.
There is nothing that you need to actively do.
Nowhere you need to be.
No one that requires anything of you.
All that's needed right now is for you to just be.
You just need to allow yourself to become.
Rest your mind and your body releasing into this transformation.
As you feel the transformation begin,
Reflect on the things that matter most to you.
Those core beliefs and values.
They are what motivates you and gives you purpose and direction.
Attach those values and beliefs symbolically becoming the cocoon that surrounds you.
The values that form your core give you a new shape.
They protect you from other influences that do not align with who you are.
If there are any values or beliefs that you need to let go of,
You can do so now.
They will simply not become a part of this new shell you are creating for yourself now.
Feel yourself enveloped by the values and beliefs you are choosing to embrace.
Drift off into a deep,
Deep sleep.
As you sleep in this protective cocoon,
You patiently wait for the transformation.
It will happen as it is meant to.
When the time is right,
You will become.
Feelings of total patience and self-compassion rise up in you.
You feel at peace with who you were,
Are and who you will become.
Suddenly you feel a change stirring.
The tickle of new life.
A new energy.
A new energy that is springing forth in your life in this new season.
What shifts and next steps come to mind?
As you imagine those shifts,
You notice your body changing.
There are new parts of you now.
These parts may feel uncomfortable at first.
And yet,
The more familiar you become with them,
The more comfortable they are.
The more like you and truly yourself you feel.
Picture now your wings breaking through the cocoon.
As you do so,
You feel more confident and brave.
You feel confident stepping into something new.
With the cocoon now open,
You can feel the warmth of the sun.
Feel strength fill your wings as they stretch out.
A warm breeze dries them off.
This fills you with strength.
You begin to flutter your wings.
A great new sensation that fills you with excitement and joy.
Now,
Feel yourself beginning to take flight,
Following the instincts within you,
And stepping into your purpose.
You can fly now,
As if you were always meant to be in flight.
Enjoy how it feels to fly on a gentle breeze,
How effortless it is to fly.
Whenever you're ready,
Find a place to rest.
You can rest here as long as you need.
These images and the meaning you attach to them will be imprinted in your mind.
Whenever you see something that reminds you of them,
You will be filled with the same feelings of confidence and purpose you felt during this transformative time.
Rest well,
My friend.
Thank you.
