Your Secret Garden - A Journey To Sleep!

Tonight, I invite you to step into your own secret garden—a peaceful sanctuary that belongs only to you. It is a place where there is nothing to achieve, nowhere to be, and no expectations to meet. Here, the busyness of your day can be left behind, allowing your mind and body to soften, settle and prepare for sleep.

Welcome to your secret garden. A peaceful sanctuary that exists just for you. This is a place where you can simply be. Where you're free from expectations as the busyness of the day simply melts away. Take a moment to do anything that you need to do so that when the meditation ends all that is left is for you to drift off to sleep. Adjust your covers, Find a position of comfort. And allow your body to settle. And let's begin. Taking a deep breath in. And longer breath out. Deep breath in. And longer breath out. Noticing as you breathe in. How your body rises and lifts. Noticing as you breathe out. Your body softens. It's settled. Allowing you to feel more. And more connected. With the surface that you rest upon. Allowing your breath now. Fall into its own natural rhythm. No need to control your breath. Or force your breath. If they're not already. Just allowing your eyes to close. And use my voice. As your guide. Allowing images. Feelings. And sensations. Arise within you. As you take this inner journey. Connect to your breath. As you breathe in Breathing in a sense of calm. As you breathe out Allowing tension. Be released. Breathing in, Calm. Breathing out. Tension. In your awareness now. To your body. To the very crown of your head. Begin to feel a way. A wave of relaxation. Flying through you. Pinch and wash from your forehead. A cheek. Noticing the rise. And fall of your chest. And continues lying down your back. You're hip. Down your legs. So your awareness is resting. On the very soles of your feet. Imagine yourself now. Be standing in a lodge. And open field. The grass beneath your feet is softer than any you have ever felt. Like a gentle carpet of green. You know it as tiny white daisies. Right in the ground. Providing little pops of colour. You begin to walk. Slowly. . . Down the gentle slope of the field. Have she noticed the wall? Of the sun just soaking into your skin. Nourishing. Amen Perhaps you notice some shapes. Grazing nearby. Their lambs frolicking. Playfully in the grass. What else do you notice? As you walk through this field. The base of the field. You see a long hedge. She will walk. Beside this hedge. You notice a large wooden gate. Hidden deeply. Within the foliage. You reach into the hedge. Lifting the latch. And gently push. Give it a soft crake. The gate opens. You step through. Gate closes behind you. You are standing in the most beautiful garden that you have ever been in. Colours here. Brighter. More alive than you could have thought was possible. Reds are redder. Inks of painter. The greens. So green and glorious. All around you. Butterflies drift from flower. To flower. Some large and blue. Some small yellow white. Flowers are abundant. A rainbow of colours. Bees landing gently on their petals. For carrying their treasure. To the nearby white hives. Tiny birds flit about. Some almost hanging upside down. As they sip the nectar from the blossoms. You begin to walk along a path. Meanders through this magical garden. Heart feels easy beneath your feet And with every step, You feel more. And more relaxed. As you walk deeper. Into this peaceful place. You reach the center of the garden. Small fountains sparkles The sound of the water. It's gentle. And soothing. Near the fountain. A wooden bench is waiting for you. You sit down. Feeling completely at ease. Supported. Peaceful. You breathe in. The fragrance of the flowers. Freshness of the garden air. As you breathe out. You let go. Anything heavy. Anything you do not need to carry. Nothing required of you. Because you are simply present. Any thoughts that arrive. Just allow them to slip away. Drifting in the breeze. Returning your awareness. Your breath. This garden. As you rest, You realise this garden is more than just a place to visit. It reflects your inner calm. Always present. And always waiting for you. Whenever you choose to return. You slowly rise from your garden bench. And make your way back along the path. Butterflies are dancing with you. And the bees just continue to hum. As they collect their nectar. Soon arrive again. At that wooden gate. He lifts the latch. Step through. Finding yourself back again in that wide open field. Garden remains alive within you. It is a place of peace. That you can visit any time that you choose. But for right now. This is your time to sleep. Have a lovely sleep.

Thank you Anne :)

Anne,

I added a horse to the field. My horse. Off in the distance I could see a stately home. The same as in my romance books. This would be my country house. With my Dad inside wondering were I went. The garden is beautiful.

This is so calming and soothing and a favorite for sleep. Even the cover photo of the garden gives me peace. Thank you, Anne.
