Welcome to this mindfulness journey created just for you.
My name is Laurie Jane and I'll be guiding you through a few gentle minutes to help your body and mind begin to slow down after such a busy day.
This is the starlight sleep journey and it's time to rest now.
You've done so much today,
So let's take a soft and magical journey up high into the sky to a place where the stars shine bright and your animal companion is waiting.
So lay down,
Snuggle into your bed and gently close your eyes.
Let your arms rest beside you and let your whole body begin to melt into the bed like warm honey.
Let's start by taking a slow breath in and then gently blow it out.
Let's do that a couple more times.
Breathing in and then slowly blowing it out and one more time.
Breathing in and then gently blowing it out.
So just listen to my voice.
My voice is here to help you feel calm and relaxed.
You are safe here,
Cozy,
Peaceful and still.
Now,
I'm going to invite you to imagine that above your head,
There's a staircase made of starlight.
It shines so brightly.
This staircase leads up into the sky to your very own dreamland.
And as you take a deep breath in,
You begin to float,
Floating up step by step.
Count the steps with me.
1,
3,
4,
5,
6,
And 7.
And as you reach the top,
You find a soft and fluffy cloud.
You sit down and it feels just like a giant marshmallow pillow.
As you look around,
You see stars twinkling everywhere.
They sparkle in different colors,
Pink,
Blue,
Gold,
And green.
Each one glowing just for you.
As you gaze out into the dream sky,
You notice something coming towards you in the distance.
You feel completely calm because this is your special dreamland and only good things are allowed to be here.
As the shape gets closer,
You see that it's an animal.
One of your magical friends,
Here just for you.
They've come to help you drift off to sleep tonight.
The first animal that pops into your mind is perfect.
Maybe it's an owl or a deer.
It could be a cat or a bear.
Whatever you see,
That is your special bedtime friend.
So take a moment to say hello.
They may be soft and cuddly or strong and wise.
They sit beside you now,
Calm and peaceful.
They'll stay with you all night long.
Your animal friend leads you to a cozy cloud nest.
Soft and sparkling like stardust.
It wraps around you like a blanket made of moonlight.
And you lay down and your whole body relaxes.
And as the stars hum gently above,
Your animal friend places a paw,
A hoof,
Or a wing over your heart.
Like a bedtime hug.
You feel sleepy now.
So,
So sleepy.
Your animal friend whispers softly to you.
You are safe tonight.
You feel calm and loved.
Your dreams are filled with light.
You are held by the stars.
And you are ready to sleep now.
And feel those words melt into your pillow.
The stars begin to twinkle more slowly.
Like they're saying goodnight.
Your animal friend curls up beside you.
They're getting ready to drift off to sleep too.
The sky wraps you in a soft silver glow.
Everything is still.
Your breath is slow.
Your body is calm.
And your dreams can now begin.
Sleep well little one.
And just know the stars are watching over you.
