Good evening.
Tonight,
You're going to be falling asleep by the pool.
This pool has a fountain and a wonderful,
Comfortable,
Luxurious lounge chair for you to fall asleep in.
It has a pillow and blanket if you need it.
So,
Let's begin.
You should be lying down,
Face up,
While you're listening to this.
Begin to breathe deeply and easily,
Allowing your breath to become full,
Round,
Easy.
With every exhale,
You let go of the day.
Feel your body relax completely.
Let any tension drift off your body like steam.
You have done as much as you can do today,
And now it's time to rest.
Now,
In your mind's eye,
See yourself standing by the edge of a pool.
It is night,
And there are spotlights around the pool and along the inside walls that illuminate it.
There is also a beautiful fountain connected to it.
It's lit up with lights as well.
Off to one side is an extra-large lounge chair with padding and a pillow.
You make your way over and nestle in.
You find it very comfortable,
And you can adjust it to lie flat or to sit up a bit,
Whatever makes you more comfortable.
This is where you're going to let the sound of the water take you into the realms of sleep and rest and rejuvenation.
There is no one else around.
It's completely private and secure.
Know that you are safe.
This environment has been prepared just for you and for your rest.
Continue breathing deeply and easily,
And allow the sound of the water to transport you.
Allow it to change your consciousness,
Instill your nervous system.
It may help to keep your eyes just slightly open so that you can see the light bouncing off the water.
Allow it to mesmerize you,
Hypnotize you into a deeper state of consciousness.
Your brainwaves are slowing.
Your nervous system is draining from the activity of the day.
You can physically feel your body starting to soften and loosen and develop space in the joints.
Now turn your attention to the fountain.
The fountain is very special.
It's a beautiful sculpture of a guardian angel.
It's female,
And it has huge wings.
It's wearing a flowing dress,
And it's in the act of taking off,
Just about to fly.
This fountain is a depiction of a sleep angel.
This pool is a place where many people have come to find rest and deep REM sleep.
The lounge chair you're lying on is only for you,
Though.
It's been specially prepared.
Everyone who comes here gets their own lounge chair,
And they can fall asleep in peace,
Knowing their sleep angel is watching over them.
The sound of water is very soothing to human beings.
It's a natural thing to want to sit or lie down by water.
It is a powerful force on this earth,
And it can wash away all fears and concerns.
So all you have to do is relax and enjoy yourself,
And let the sound of the fountain allow you to drift away.
Be aware of nothing except for this pool and the water and the fountain and your lounge chair.
There's nothing else you need to do.
There's no place you need to go.
This place is for you.
If you're having trouble falling asleep and letting go,
You can ask your sleep guide as to what you can do to fall asleep.
The answers will be short and to the point.
They will make sense to you,
And they will be helpful.
You will drop deeper into consciousness.
Your brainwaves will continue to slow until you can no longer see the lights around the pool and the fountain,
For everything will be pitch black.
If you so wish,
You can look up and see the stars in the sky and perhaps the moon.
Our bodies are made mostly of water.
Allow the sounds of the water in the pool to sync up with the water in your body.
As you do so,
You will feel enormous calm,
Like you're floating in an ocean.
Allow this feeling of expansion to overtake you,
Letting it lead you into a place of deep sleep,
Losing your hold on daily consciousness.
Water is a very powerful element.
It can heal,
Nurture,
And destroy.
You have that power within you now.
Allow this part of yourself to nurture you and let you fall into deep,
Restful sleep.
Your sleep angel watches over you as you finally drift off for the night.
You will experience deep,
Deep sleep and awaken refreshed and rejuvenated and ready for the day.
The pool and the fountain and your sleep angel are here anytime you need them.
Call on them anytime you need help to fall asleep.
Let it be so.
