Hello little dreamer.

My name is Lacey and tonight I will guide you as we take a peaceful journey to a beautiful weeping willow tree.

I invite you to get comfy wherever you are,

Snuggle in and softly close your eyes.

Let's take a deep breath in through our nose,

Feeling the air fill our lungs and exhale out through your mouth letting go of all the things that happened in your day.

You are here now and ready to rest your body and your mind.

Let's do another breath together.

Bringing in calm as we inhale deeply,

Feeling the air go down into your belly and exhale,

Sigh it out.

You are relaxed,

You are safe,

You are ready to journey to the weeping willow tree.

Imagine yourself in a quiet meadow,

Surrounded by soft flowing green grass and the most beautiful wildflowers you've ever seen.

The wind gently blows through your hair and you smell the sweet aroma of the wildflowers.

In the middle of the meadow you see something appear.

There stands a majestic weeping willow tree,

Its long graceful branches swaying gently in the breeze,

Back and forth,

Side to side.

The leaves rustle softly creating a soothing melody just for you.

You walk slowly towards the tree,

Feeling the soft grass under your bare feet.

The grass tickles your toes and you happily move your way across the meadow.

There you find a comfortable spot under the willow where the branches create a cozy canopy above you.

You look up to see the sun playing peekaboo as you sit down and lean against the tree's sturdy trunk,

Feeling its strength and support against your back.

The air is cool and fresh and you can hear the gentle sound of the leaves whispering in the wind and you listen to the beautiful melody playing once again.

Take a deep breath in,

Feeling the fresh peaceful air fill your body from the top of your head to the bottoms of your feet.

Now slowly exhale,

Letting go of any worries or thoughts.

Inhale,

Breathing in peace and exhale,

Releasing all of your worries.

Last one together.

Inhale,

Filling yourself with calm and ease and exhale,

Letting go and resting fully.

You hear the leaves sway and dance in the wind.

Each rustle is like a whisper from the tree telling you that you are safe and you are loved.

The ground beneath you is soft and cool,

Making you feel grounded and even more relaxed.

As you sit under the willow,

You notice something in the distance.

There are animals approaching.

They are getting closer and closer.

Each one has a gift for you.

First comes an owl.

It swiftly swoops down and perches on a branch above you.

The owl brings you the gift of wisdom and clarity.

It hoots softly,

A reminder that you are smart and capable.

Take a deep breath in,

Feeling the owl's gift come alive inside of you and exhale,

Feeling confident and calm.

Coming towards you gently is a deer.

It makes its way to the willow tree and lies down beside you.

The deer brings the gift of gentleness and kindness.

It nestles beside you so softly,

Reminding you to be kind to yourself and be kind to others.

Take a deep breath in,

Feeling the deer's gift of kindness in your heart and exhale,

Feeling your love expand out to the world.

Before you know it,

A fox quickly scurries through the grass and snuggles up next to you.

The fox brings you the gift of cleverness and creativity.

It gives you a wink and you see a sparkle in its eye.

You are reminded that you have everything you need inside of you.

Take a deep breath in,

Feeling the fox's gift filling you up with knowingness and exhale,

Feeling inspired and at peace.

To your surprise,

A playful bunny peeks out from the wildflowers and hops right into your lap.

The bunny brings the gift of joy and playfulness.

It wiggles its nose and makes you smile,

Reminding you to find joy in the little things.

Take a deep breath in,

Feeling the rabbit's gift of joy filling up your whole body and exhale,

Feeling happy and light.

Take another deep breath in,

Feeling the calmness of the willow tree and gratitude for all the gifts from your animal friends.

As you exhale,

Imagine you are sharing your peace and gratitude with the tree.

Let's do this three times.

Inhale,

Feeling calm and grounded.

Exhale,

Sharing your peace with the willow.

Inhale.

Last one together.

Inhale,

Becoming one with the tree.

And exhale,

Sending out your peace.

Before your eyes,

The weeping willow tree's branches start to glow with a soft,

Magical light.

This light spreads around you,

Creating a warm and comforting glow within you and around you and all of your animal friends.

The branches slowly lift you up,

Cradling you like a gentle hammock.

You feel so safe,

So loved and so at peace.

The branches sway gently,

Rocking you back and forth,

Back and forth,

Back and forth.

The melody of the leaves and the soft breeze become a lullaby,

Guiding you towards a peaceful sleep.

Feel yourself drifting,

Floating and being soothed in the warm glow of the willow's embrace.

You are safe,

You are loved and you are at peace.

The willow tree and your animal friends will watch over you throughout the night,

Their gentle presence surrounding you with comfort.

Sleep well,

Little dreamer.

Goodnight.
