Let's begin by settling your body and preparing your mind for rest.
Allow your eyes to close softly.
Take a slow breath in through your nose.
And allow it to flow out through your mouth.
Again,
A slow breath in.
And a long,
Gentle breath out.
One more time,
Breathing in calm.
And breathing out anything that no longer needs to stay with you.
Feel your body begin to soften.
Feel your jaw release.
Feel your head resting comfortably into your pillow.
Your shoulders melt.
Your elbows and hands grow heavy.
Your back relaxes.
Your stomach softens.
As your hips sink deeper into the bed.
And your legs relax from your thighs all the way down to your knees,
Towards your feet and toes.
Your whole body is beginning to feel safe,
Supported and ready for rest.
With your eyes still closed,
Imagine you are standing in a beautiful garden.
It is night time,
Yet the full moon lights everything around you with a soft silver glow.
The air is gentle.
The garden is peaceful.
You feel completely safe in this space.
You know it is time to let yourself drift into sleep.
You look around your garden and notice how quiet it feels.
How still and comforting.
As you continue to explore this peaceful place,
You notice a soft,
Fluffy cloud floating in the sky above you.
It glows with a warm light,
Almost as if it is alive with comfort.
Slowly the cloud begins to drift downward.
Lower and lower.
Closer and closer.
Until it hovers just above the ground in front of you.
You walk toward it with ease,
Knowing this cloud has come to carry you into dreamland.
You reach out and touch it.
It is warm.
Soft.
Nurturing.
Peaceful.
You gently climb into the cloud and the moment you settle in,
You feel safe,
Held and completely supported.
The cloud begins to lift,
Rising slowly from the ground.
You feel comfort,
Warmth and peace.
As the cloud rises higher and higher,
All the thoughts and feelings from your day begin to drift away.
They fall softly to the ground below,
Dissolving into the earth.
You feel lighter.
You feel clearer.
You feel free.
The cloud continues upward,
Gently climbing into the sky.
You look around and see an endless sea of stars.
So many that you cannot count them.
They shimmer like tiny lanterns guiding you into rest.
The cloud moves with a slow soothing rhythm.
A gentle rocking motion that cradles you.
This movement helps your body relax even more.
Your breath becomes soft and steady.
Your mind becomes quiet.
You allow yourself to release the day.
You allow your body to sink deeper into the cloud.
You allow your mind,
Body and soul to drift toward dreamland.
Now the cloud carries you through the night sky.
It moves through soft moonlight.
It moves through gentle starlight.
It moves through peaceful silence.
You feel weightless.
You feel calm.
You feel deeply at ease.
As the cloud floats,
You begin to drift into deeper rest.
Your thoughts slow down.
Your breath becomes softer.
Your body becomes heavier and more relaxed.
The cloud continues to rock you.
A slow steady rhythm.
A rhythm that invites sleep.
A rhythm that holds you in comfort.
You drift deeper and deeper.
The night sky stretches endlessly around you.
The stars shimmer softly.
The moon glows gently.
The cloud carries you with complete care.
You feel safe.
You feel peaceful.
You feel ready to sleep.
Now the cloud begins to move through long stretches of quiet sky.
Nothing to do.
Nothing to think about.
Nothing to hold.
Just rest.
You float through soft darkness.
You float through gentle light.
You float through peaceful silence.
Your breath is slow.
Your body is still.
Your mind is quiet.
You drift and drift and drift.
The cloud continues to carry you through the night.
It moves slowly.
It moves peacefully.
It moves with the rhythm of sleep.
Everything is calm.
Everything is peaceful.
Everything is safe.
You drift deeper into sleep.
The cloud holds you.
The night sky surrounds you.
Your body rests.
Your mind rests.
Your soul rests.
You are held.
You are supported.
You are safe.
As you drift through the night.
