Enter The Galaxy - Deep Sleep Story & Meditation

Tonight we take a cosmic voyage across our Solar System, becoming one with the stars and infinite nebula around us. We pass by each of the planets before making our way to the far corners of the Galaxy, where you can permit yourself to allow all anxious thoughts to leave your mind, as you drift deeper into relaxation and sleep.

A warm welcome to this guided sleep meditation and bedtime story.

Tonight,

We will enter the galaxy and explore the untouched corners of space.

We will glide among the stars and travel across the cosmos,

Visiting the planets that are near to us and experiencing all of the wonder and beauty that space has to offer as you leave all worries and tension far behind you.

Your mind might be quite busy and full of chatter,

You might be worrying about a specific thing or many things,

Or perhaps your thoughts are simply racing,

Too fast to focus on but too slow to ignore.

Remind yourself that this is completely normal and natural,

It is part of being human,

But through this story and meditation,

You will go deeper and deeper into comfort.

Your thoughts will fade,

Your body will become relaxed and you will enter a world of peace.

Please remember that there is no right or wrong here and there is no particular way that you should feel in these moments.

Each experience is as unique as us all,

So try to let go of any pressure you might be putting on yourself to feel certain things or perhaps fall asleep quickly tonight.

It doesn't matter if you do or you don't,

If you simply follow my voice and allow these words to wash over you,

Then you will enter a world of deep relaxation where you can rest and recover.

So,

When you are ready,

Just feel your eyelids becoming heavier and heavier with each passing blink until they gently close.

Remind yourself that this is your time to relax,

There is nothing left to do and nothing left to think.

The day is done now,

Whatever has happened is already in the past and here,

In this moment,

The future is beyond our reach.

So,

If thoughts arise about the day or the week that has been or the days ahead of you,

Then acknowledge that these thoughts are completely normal and valid.

But also,

Kindly remind yourself that these thoughts or concerns are of no use to us now and tonight there is no need to engage with them.

You are safe tonight and you are protected.

You can be reassured by the fact that my voice and these stories will never take you anywhere that is unpleasant.

Your sleepy cat is simply here to guide you on your own twilight adventures and to help you enter a world of magic and peace where you can be completely free.

And now,

We will do a short guided breathing pattern called 3-4-5.

This will allow you to slow down and relax,

Preparing your body and your mind for a wonderful,

Peaceful rest.

When you are ready,

Breathe in through the nose for 3,

Hold for 4,

And breathe out for 5.

Let all of it go now,

Again,

That's in for 3.

Hold for 4,

And release,

Blowing away the thoughts of yesterday,

Today,

And tomorrow.

Again,

In for 3,

Hold,

And let it go.

Continue to breathe in this way in your own time,

And with each breath out,

Allow your body to sink just that bit deeper into your mattress.

And now,

Allow the breath to fall back into a natural rhythm.

Enjoy this new peace flowing through your body.

As you lie here on your soft mattress,

You see the roof over your head has opened up as if revealing a secret world to you,

And directly above you is the silver glitter of the night sky.

It is a place of eternal wonder,

Of life and possibility,

And of hope.

And as you drift deeper into relaxation,

You feel yourself begin to slowly lift away from the bed.

You are now hovering just above your mattress,

Weightless and free.

The glowing orb of the moon watches over you,

And the stars dot the sky like specks of silver dust.

You can see a multitude of shooting stars passing overhead.

Some fly by quickly,

And others slowly trace the horizon as you watch them on their cosmic journey.

Imagine that these shooting stars are your thoughts.

They arrive for a moment,

And you can observe them without judgement,

And then they disappear and leave your mind.

As you gaze up in wonder,

You can feel the pull of the cosmos calling you,

And you hope that you might be able to move closer to the stars.

As if by magic,

You feel yourself rising higher and higher.

It feels as though you are being lifted up and supported by something.

It might be a hand,

Or simply an energy that you recognize.

Whatever it is,

It allows you to feel completely safe.

You know that nothing can reach you here,

And that you are protected.

As you float into the sky,

You can see your bedroom become smaller,

And your house below is slowly disappearing.

Until eventually,

You can see your town,

Your village,

Or your city fading from view.

And then you see the outline of your entire country.

Until finally,

You realize that you are staring at the whole Earth itself.

And as you turn back to look in front of you again,

You see that you are completely surrounded by this eternal cosmos.

Above,

Below,

And all around you are silver stars pulsing with a gentle light,

As if welcoming you to this starlight kingdom.

Tonight,

These stars are your guardians.

They will protect you,

They will calm your mind,

And they will keep your dreams pure and beautiful.

You are at one with this entire universe,

And as you look out across this galaxy of glitter,

Swirling in slow motion and backed by a purple and blue dust,

You are met by a single feeling,

Pure peace.

You watch Earth slowly spin on its axis,

The green and blue patches sometimes masked by thick clouds of white and grey.

You see our planet in a new way,

And the world doesn't seem quite so noisy now.

It is quiet and peaceful,

Full of beauty and enchantment.

The Earth steadily orbits the Sun,

Which is far off in the distance,

And to you is nothing more than the soft glow of an old lantern.

Closest to the Sun is Mercury,

And this graphite grey planet is a lot smaller than Earth,

Orbiting the Sun much faster.

Then your eyes fall upon Venus,

Swirling in colors of soft yellow,

Brown and white,

Far bigger than Mercury and almost the same size as our Earth.

As your awareness turns back to the infinite glitter of the stars,

You notice that tiny specks of white dust are drifting around you like a protective shield.

And as you move your hand through these tiny particles,

They follow the movement of your arms and pulse with a soft radiance.

The stardust begins to provide a gentle vibration that sends a warmth all through your fingers,

Up into your palms and along your arms.

As the enchanted glitter surrounds you,

It begins to swirl around your head,

And you feel that any tension in your forehead and your brow is unraveling and slowly melting away.

It drifts down into your face now,

As your eyes become heavy and your lips and jaw become soft.

These vibrations move into your neck and your shoulders as you feel any knots unravel,

And the back of your neck completely softens and your shoulders become loose like a soft butter slowly melting.

The silver stardust swirls around your chest and you feel your breath becoming open and free as your chest expands and softens.

This sensation drifts into your stomach,

Relaxing your abdomen and allowing your belly to be free.

You realize there is no need to hold on tonight.

You feel a new warmth move into your thighs and all of the muscles become soft and free from any tension.

It runs through your knees and you feel the joints loosen,

And eventually it reaches your calves.

This enchanting glitter surrounds your feet as you feel a gentle vibration trickle along your ankles,

All the way down to your toes.

Every single muscle in your body becomes soft and light as you feel yourself relinquish all control and allow any thoughts or tension to just dissolve.

And finally,

This stardust begins to float around the top of your head and you feel any remaining thoughts and worries simply fall away from you.

You watch them descend down into the cosmos as they drift out of sight.

You are at peace here and you are safe.

Before continuing on your cosmic voyage,

You notice the moon behind you.

It is pulsing in a silver-white light like an enchanting portal urging you to move closer.

You drift towards the moon and there is a surprising comfort from being around it.

It holds a million memories and is the spotlight of the night sky.

It is a constant of our lives.

It is hope and it is peace.

You bathe in the beauty of the moon and realize that this is your guardian tonight.

Gradually now,

You begin to float away from the moon and towards the red planet,

Mars.

You are at one with the stars now and they guide you on your journey.

You gaze down at the fiery sphere of red and orange and it is amazing to think that four billion years ago,

You gaze down at the fiery sphere of red and orange and it is amazing to think that four billion years ago,

This now desolate,

Cold planet might once have contained liquid water,

The essential ingredient for life.

The stars whisk you off once again and this swirling glitter is carrying you further and further into the nebula,

Keeping you warm and keeping you safe.

You are now above the biggest planet in our solar system.

You are now above the biggest planet in our solar system,

Jupiter.

The rich atmosphere swirls around itself in colors of brown,

White,

Gray,

Blue and orange.

It moves in slow motion like thick clouds of paint mixing together.

It is wonderful to watch and almost hypnotic as you feel yourself being lulled into a deep comfort.

In the next moment,

You are filled with the energy from the stars as they carry you forward once again.

In the next moment,

You are filled with the energy from the stars as they carry you forward once again.

You have completely let go of all control and you are at one with this magical,

Breathtaking universe.

You approach Saturn now,

Arguably the most recognizable planet.

A pale yellow color with almost transparent rings circling the atmosphere.

The stars move you closer and you glide above these rings and gently soar in an arc around Saturn.

You notice below you are many particles of ice accompanied by small fragments of rock and a shimmering dust which altogether make up the perfect ring formation.

As you continue on your journey,

You float above the ice planet Uranus.

You watch it rotate sideways opposite to Earth and it is surrounded by a vertical ring from top to bottom.

Next door to it is the second ice planet Neptune.

It has a dark blue and white surface almost in stripes that appear to be spinning slowly and it's as if both of these planets are welcoming you to their distant corner of the solar system.

Out here,

Away from everything,

There is a new feeling of peace and tranquility.

The stars guide you again as you begin to drift further away from the solar system and towards the infinite nebula glowing in colors of purple and blue,

Soft silver and a gentle red.

You pass over the dwarf planet Pluto,

A small rock of brown and grey on the edge of our system as you head deeper into the cosmos.

In the next moment,

You are completely surrounded by this swirling galaxy.

Colorful displays of starlight and nebula dust begin to paint the sky as they welcome you home.

You feel as though you are moving with this galaxy as you float along in complete peace and wonder.

Thick clouds of stardust pass by in the distance and some swirl around you,

Lifting you up higher and filling you with a new warmth.

It seems as if time moves slower out here and that everything around you is in perfect order,

Working as it should be in a blissful harmony,

And you are a part of this.

You can feel the raw,

Untapped energy from the Milky Way drifting into your body and your mind.

You can feel it cleansing you,

Melting away any remaining thoughts as you give yourself permission to let go of everything.

Nothing feels unfamiliar and it's as if you have been here before.

Everything is as it should be and you can see in front of you all the possibilities and the potential that you have in this universe.

And you are unlocking a power within you,

A power of acceptance and an understanding of something special,

Of yourself and who you are.

You feel an intimate connection to this incredible world and galaxy that we call home.

You are far away from everything on Earth now.

It is behind you tonight and these quiet,

Peaceful surroundings are a comfort,

Allowing you to embrace exactly where you are right now.

With the stars by your side,

There is nothing that you cannot do and there is nowhere that you cannot go.

This palace of peace is yours.

You are free to return whenever you need to venture beyond our world and beyond our imagination.

The beauty of this place cannot be explained,

It can only be experienced as you are now.

You are completely safe here and free to explore the farthest reaches of the galaxy and to go wherever you want to go without limitation.

The stars are with you tonight,

Guiding your journey and guiding your dreams.
