I'm Amy.
And welcome to this sleep journey.
Designed to help you find really deep relaxation tonight.
Make sure that you are ready in your sleep space now.
Lighting and temperature just right.
Snuggled up.
And cosy.
There is nothing for you to do.
Other than listen to my voice.
And if you don't fall asleep whilst listening.
That's okay.
You will still reap the calming benefits of this practice.
Close your eyes now.
And take a deep breath in and out.
And out.
Again in.
.
.
And out.
Can you get even more comfortable now?
Adjusting your body in any way that feels right for you.
Feeling the softness of your pillow under your heavy head.
The caress of your sheets upon your skin.
Taking a moment to be thankful as you lay peaceful and secure.
Safe.
Taking one more big breath in… Filling your lungs,
Air flowing down into the space between each of your ribs.
And breathing out.
Completely relaxing.
Enjoy this time for you.
Wonderful you.
Deserving of greatness.
And magic.
We're going to head into a forest now.
A forest where dreams can be made.
You are standing grounded on a firm forest floor.
Soil,
The color of dark chocolate.
And crunched up golden leaves lie directly underfoot.
Even further below.
You sense the energetic buzz from ancient tree roots underground.
Deep and interconnected.
Excitedly communicating.
We have a guest.
Stories say that deep in this forest.
.
.
There is a waterfall that grants wishes to those who visit.
Only those with great patience and openness of heart.
Can find it.
You were carrying a small,
Yet well-loved backpack.
Filled with supplies for the journey.
And a khaki green waterproof coat is draped across your shoulders.
For protection from the elements.
The forest around you.
Is alive.
Insects and birds fly from tree to tree.
Calmly following instinct,
As Mother Nature intended.
And crickets create steady,
Rhythmic melodies.
Music of the earth.
A small mammal brushes through leaves to your left.
And a frog attempts to balance on a cracked fallen stick to your right.
Before heading onwards in search of a welcoming forest pool.
There is a mix of nature's perfume in the air.
Pine.
And resin.
Dust.
And dampness.
It is unique.
Yet familiar.
And soothing somehow.
Like you are connected to it.
And it is connected to you.
As you pause to get your bearings in the forest for a moment.
You take a sip of water from your light blue stainless steel drinking flask.
Before placing it back in your bag of supplies.
Your intuition tells you that you are headed in the right direction.
As you walk on,
Deeper into the forest,
You can hear a breeze rippling through the canopy of leaves above your head.
Trees around you.
Sway gently.
As a draft moves through their branches.
The air dancing closely around each tree's trunk.
As if performing a windy waltz.
As you pass by a tree trunk now.
You place your palm.
Gently upon it.
Feeling the grain of the bark.
Beneath your fingertips.
You were struck by the grand tree's depths.
Sensing its unmovable strength.
Within.
A squirrel appears in front of you now.
And make eye contact for a little longer than a second.
Surprised to see you.
Just as much as you were surprised to see it.
As you continue to walk through the abundant forest.
Your heart skips a beat.
As you hear the sound you've been searching for.
Water.
In the distance.
Ancient trees appear to part in front of your eyes.
Opening like a curtain,
Revealing the most magnificent,
Crystal clear forest pool you have ever seen.
With fireflies aglow.
And wildflowers at your feet.
You observe the wishing waterfall.
Ahead.
Water pours like molten diamonds.
Into the pool below.
A soft glow of light.
Shines down through a blanket of leaves above.
Cascading ripples of gold.
And glitter.
Across the water's surface.
You sit on the water's edge for a moment.
Taking in the view.
In all its breathtaking glory.
Slowly.
.
.
.
.
And carefully.
You slip off your shoes.
And socks.
The water is shallow and calm.
Completely safe.
And warm to the touch.
As you enter the pool.
And wade deeper through it.
The gentle movement of the water massages your skin.
You choose to dip into the center of it now.
And allow the water to wash over you.
Purifying you healing you.
Enjoy this moment.
Of complete.
Ecstasy.
As you approach the base of the waterfall.
Shimmering in the transcendent light.
You sense its divine power.
Reaching out your hands.
You allow the waterfall to kiss your palms.
As you place your arms into its currents.
Feeling the weight of it.
Tiny drops of water are gently splashing your face.
Embracing you in Celestial Myth.
It is as if the waterfall is asking you now.
To make your wish.
And you know.
With absolute certainty now.
With every wish.
Will be granted.
