A warm welcome to this guided sleep story from your very own sleepy cat.
Tonight you will be guided into a new world of peace and serenity as you slowly and comfortably drift off to sleep.
This is your time to completely let go and to nurture your body and your mind.
Before we begin we will do a short relaxation session,
Preparing you for a good night sleep.
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.
But 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.
They are part of what makes us human,
Which is a wonderful thing.
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.
They are simply thoughts as fleeting as shooting stars across the night sky.
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 three,
Hold for four,
And breathe out for five.
Let all of it go now.
Again,
That's in for three,
Hold for four,
And release,
Blowing away the thoughts of yesterday,
Today,
And tomorrow.
Again,
In for three,
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.
Allow your mind to soften and your imagination to unlock as we take flight with the eagles.
You find yourself walking barefoot through a calm and tranquil forest.
The blanket of leaves rustle under your feet and are gentle to the touch,
Sending soft vibrations through the soles of your feet.
You can hear the sound of a stream trickling by you as you watch the mid-morning birds dart through the treetops.
Small spears of sunlight are piercing through the leaves,
And you feel a cool wind sweep gently through the trees and across your face.
You notice a complete calmness washing over you,
And you feel as though you are walking in a world that is full of magic and peace.
A place where there is no need to rush or to worry about anything.
A place where you can be present right now in this moment.
All of a sudden there is a rustle in the distance,
And as you turn to look you see a small rabbit hopping up to you excitedly.
The rabbit stops at your feet and is now gazing up at you.
With a smile you kneel down and stroke the little rabbit on the head as it sniffs your hand affectionately.
Its fur is as soft as silk,
And seeing this tiny creature brings a new comfort to your heart.
The rabbit turns now and hops off down the forest track,
Occasionally stopping and looking back to you as you follow it with your eyes.
Further ahead you spy an opening in the trees,
Which is filled with a bright yellow light that is pulsing around the edges.
The little rabbit stops one more time just outside this opening.
It turns back to look at you before finally hopping through the gap in the trees.
As you gaze at the swirling yellow light you feel calm and comforted,
But also intrigued and you think perhaps that you should follow the rabbit.
You walk slowly towards the light,
Stepping over small rocks and branches as you hold onto nearby trees for support.
When you finally reach the opening you push past the soft leaves and walk in.
As you emerge from the other side you are met by the glowing sun warming your skin from head to toe.
Gradually your eyes adjust and you notice that you are in a clearing at the edge of the forest.
You can see rolling hills on the horizon,
Fields of green and yellow and a pastel blue sky for eternity.
There are vast fields of flowers below you,
Which are arranged in neat patches of purple,
Pink,
Red,
Blue and orange.
You look up and notice the shadow of large wings tracing the sky.
As it gets closer you can see more clearly the long yellow beak and huge feathers of brown and white.
The creature flies down and gently lands on the edge of the clearing in front of you.
This is a giant eagle.
You remember stories of these creatures from your childhood,
But you stopped believing long ago that the giant eagle existed.
Yet here one stands before you,
Dreamlike and utterly magnificent.
The proud eagle bows low and you return the greeting.
Despite the size of the eagle you feel instantly comforted by its presence.
You know without a doubt that you are completely safe.
The eagle bows once more and this time offers you a wing.
You stroke the eagle's back and admire its soft feathers and huge wingspan.
Your eyes meet and you can feel the purity and enchantment running through this mystical creature.
And then you feel a rush of excitement as you climb onto its back.
A deep powerful magic is washing over you.
You know that this eagle will protect you now and it is impossible for you to fall.
You feel the eagle stand up and steadily beat its wings as it begins to hover a little above the ground.
Slowly the eagle takes you higher and higher until you are above the clearing,
Above the fields and above everything.
You are free.
The eagle's feathers are wrapping around you like a blanket,
Keeping you warm and cozy as you glide over rivers and through the endless grasslands.
The colorful flowers dance below as if celebrating your adventure.
With a surge of courage you ask the eagle to please take you higher.
Your new companion obeys,
Soaring up into the clouds and straight through them.
There is a light mist peppering your face and the air is cool but refreshing.
In the next moment you burst out of the clouds and see a vast field of white below you.
The sun is peeping over the clouds and covering your face with a soft warm light.
You stroke the eagle and thank them as they fly over to a nearby mountain peak which is protruding from the layer of cloud.
As you look to the right you notice another eagle bursting through the clouds and flying over to join you.
When this second eagle glides alongside you,
You see that there is another person riding on its back.
As you get closer you realize that this person is someone who is very special to you and someone who you'd want to share this experience with.
This important person looks over to you now and you both share a smile knowing that this experience,
This adventure is something special between just the two of you.
Your partner gestures to drop below the clouds and the two of you guide your eagles back through the mist and out underneath the cloud.
Your partner's eagle flies in a loop swooping over the top of you and coming back down on the other side.
You feel yourselves starting to descend now towards the huge lake below.
The eagles lower slowly over the water until at last your toes dip in the sun-kissed blue and you feel the cool water caress your feet and swish between your toes.
You and your partner share a mischievous smile as you slowly break into laughter.
You laugh uncontrollably at how beautiful and perfect this moment truly is.
And while you are chuckling away together,
Both of your eagles glide along the lake,
Your feet trailing in the water.
Your majestic companions take you down a river and through a long archway of trees with pulsing leaves of green,
Yellow and orange which create a colorful canopy above you.
You can hear the slow beat of the eagles' wings as you steadily glide downstream.
The sun begins to set and a golden-red glow illuminates the river.
On the bank of the river you spot many of the other animals of the forest gathering to greet you.
Many of these creatures you recognize and others are very peculiar,
Magical even,
But no less beautiful.
You are completely at one with nature here and you feel calm in the presence of these animals for they are here to guide you.
With a quick double take to your left you notice the rabbit from before and it is running along the riverbank keeping up with you.
Its ears are flapping relentlessly and its little legs are a blur and you cannot help but smile at this rabbit on a mission.
Just ahead is a large rock protruding from the bank and as you fly close to it the rabbit hops onto the rock and with one big leap lands on the back of your eagle.
The lovely animal tucks itself comfortably under your arm,
Nestled between you and the eagle's soft feathers.
You look over to your partner and gesture that you'd like to settle down now and together you ask your eagles to take you somewhere quiet so that you can finally rest.
As you arrive at the end of the archway of trees the eagles take you up high into the sky again.
You rise above the water as dusk begins to settle in and you can see one or two stars starting to show themselves.
And then you begin to soar towards a mountain peak nearby.
On this mountainside you see a small cozy looking cave lit by a gentle torchlight and as you get closer you see it has two big piles of blankets,
Cushions and pillows.
The eagles gently land at the edge of the cave and let you off their backs.
Your tiny rabbit jumps off with you and sits comfortably in your hands,
Their nose twitching with delight.
You and your partner thank the eagles for a magical journey and you hope that you will see them again soon.
They both give you a low bow and fly off into the still darkening night.
You look to your partner who is beaming from ear to ear and the two of you share a warm embrace before at last entering the cave.
Inside is a large campfire with wood enough to burn through the night.
You each find a pile of blankets and pillows and you set up a soft and cozy area to settle down.
Your body and mind are soft and your heart is full of gratitude tonight.
The warmth of the fire softens your muscles and you feel your body becoming heavier and heavier as you go deeper,
Deeper and deeper.
Out through the cave and across the black night you can see a glitter of stars pulsing proudly and there you think you can spot two silhouettes gliding amongst them.
As you bathe in the firelight and stroke the soft head of your rabbit you reminisce on this wonderful adventure.
You feel yourself sinking into the softness of these blankets and the pillows.
You are safe,
You are warm and you are completely content.
You feel your heavy eyelids blinking slowly until at last you give in to the temptation and allow them to close.
The eagles are watching over you tonight and they will guide your dreams as you drift off to a deep healing sleep.
