Hi there,
I'm so glad you're here.
It's time to settle down now.
Imagine your day was like a wonderful swim in the ocean.
Full of fun and splashing.
Now the waves are getting gentle and it's time to float peacefully back to our cozy shore for a good night's rest.
Let's find a super comfortable spot to lie down.
You can be in your bed or on a soft blanket,
Feeling as snug as a sea anemone in its little home.
Close your eyes gently if that feels nice and relaxing.
Now let's take a deep breath together.
Imagine you're smelling the fresh salty air of the ocean,
Breathing it in gently through your nose and then slowly letting it out through your mouth.
Like a gentle wave washing onto the sand.
Let's do that two more times.
Breathe in the fresh ocean air.
And out like a soft wave.
One more time in through your nose.
And out through your mouth.
Feel how your body is starting to relax just like a starfish stretching out all its points.
Imagine any wiggles and giggles from your day are floating away like little bubbles in the sea.
Your toes feel soft and relaxed like they're wiggling in warm sand.
Your feet feel calm like they're resting on the smooth ocean floor.
Your legs feel heavy and still like seaweed swaying gently in the current.
Your tummy feels soft and quiet,
Like the calm surface of water.
Your arms are resting gently by your sides like soft fins on a dolphin and your hands feel loose and warm like they've been playing in the gentle waves all day.
Your shoulders are sinking down,
Down,
Down.
Like smooth pebbles settling on the seabed of the ocean floor.
Now let's think about your head.
Your neck is long and relaxed like a graceful dolphin gliding through the water.
Your face feels soft.
Let your forehead be smooth like a calm sea and your cheeks be soft like a sea sponge.
Your eyelids feel heavy and sleepy now.
Like tiny clamshells closing for the night.
Imagine you're floating on a giant soft jellyfish.
This jellyfish is clear and sparkly and it's carrying you gently through the calm ocean waters.
It's a peaceful journey as you drift further and further.
Look up through the clear water above you.
You can see the night sky twinkling with so many stars.
So many.
Let's count them softly as we get even sleepier and more relaxed.
As we snuggle into our pillows.
See that bright star up there?
That's number one.
Now close your eyes.
Imagine the sparkly sky.
There,
Number two.
Now relax,
Take a deep breath,
Relax your body.
And in your mind's eye,
You see there's a little one winking.
That's number three.
And as you take another breath in.
And look further deep into the sky.
Can you see that slightly bigger one?
Yes,
That's number four.
There's another one shining softly.
That's number five.
Keep looking up.
Finding more and more stars.
There.
Six.
Seven.
8,
Nine.
.
.
In.
With each star you drift a little deeper into sleep.
You're safe and sound.
And as you feel yourself drifting,
You can hear the soft sounds of the night beginning outside.
Listen closely.
Mm-hmm.
Woo hoo.
That's a sleepy owl saying goodnight from far,
Far away.
Boop,
Boop.
Just the sound of the night.
Now take a deep breath in.
Let it slowly out.
You're so relaxed now.
Let's do that one more time.
Deep breath in.
Slowly out.
You are so loved.
You are safe and it's time for the most wonderful starry sweet dreams.
Good night,
Sweet ones.
