Water is one of the divine's most loving gifts.
It cleanses,
Purifies,
Cools,
Quenches,
And it nourishes.
Water is the nectar of our sustenance.
A living,
Sacred balm that pulses through our body and revives a parched soul.
When we reach the end of our day,
This river of purity can soothe an overactive mind and lull us into a preparative sleep state.
It can help recede any unwanted thoughts into a forgotten memory.
When imagined as a cascade of comfort from source,
Water has the ability to erase any unpleasantness we experienced during our waking hours.
So let's call upon this holy lake to wash away our day and allow us to retreat into a blissful dream state.
Get as comfortable as you can in your place of slumber and close your eyes.
Let's signal to the body that this is our time of rest by inhaling to a count of four and exhaling to a count of six.
Inhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Hold.
Exhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
We lengthen the exhale to engage our vagus nerve,
Which tells our body to relax.
Take a moment to think about what the image of water can do for you as you fall asleep.
Perhaps it can wash over a pain you're carrying around,
Whether physical or emotional.
Use the healing properties of water to ease that discomfort by pouring the universe's loving tears on your wounds.
Maybe you'd like to cleanse any negative energy you experienced today.
Imagine water as a flowing medicinal sap,
Showering you from your crown to your toes,
Leaving nothing behind but a divine glisten.
If you had a rough day at work,
You can use your heavenly pond of water to flush that stress from you.
Watch the muddied pool retreat to the ground and absorb into the earth.
You can also use this image of a celestial wellspring to grow something in your life.
What would you like more of?
See it in your mind's eye and then imagine gently sprinkling a nourishing rain over it.
Feeding its roots and dreaming it into fruition.
As you lie in a state of reverie,
Think about the divine power of water and how it might help you rest a little easier tonight.
Imagine it drizzling over whatever troubles you.
If something has truly taken a toll on you,
Purge it from your consciousness by dousing it with shimmering,
Beautified water.
Perhaps you only need to dampen an unkind word that found its way to you today.
Place a soft,
Moistened cloth over that hurt.
Water is bounteous in its ability to palliate what ails you and to fortify what you thirst for.
May you sleep peacefully tonight and awaken with renewed vigor and joy.
