Sometimes we need to take time out of the day for a refresh, a re-start or a re-boot. A 20-minute power nap is a great way to do that. Sometimes power naps take a bit of practice so I created this gentle visual recording to help you on your way. If you feel you may fall into a deep sleep please also set a gentle alarm to wake you up in 22 minutes just in case you do, this will give you a couple of minutes to stir.

Transcript

Welcome to your 20 minute power nap where you will be welcomed to rest constructively.

Please leave the recording on and I shall gently wake you at the end.

Should you feel like you will fall deeply into sleep please also set an alarm just in case.

Close your eyes too.

Allow your body to enter into a really comfortable state.

Have a shuffle around until you feel in that perfect place.

Where you will be able to let go of thoughts of the day and enter into your restful place.

Breathe deep.

It's time to slowly and gently let go of the day and semi shut down.

Welcome to this time to help you feel refreshed,

Rejuvenated and ready to continue with your day.

And I wonder if you can imagine a beautiful orange billowing cloud above you.

This cloud is bursting with love.

Can you see?

Tiny orange flakes begin floating down from the cloud.

One by one.

Each flake filled with gentle kindness and relaxation.

As you watch and relax a flake so gently floats down and lands on the surface of your forehead.

And you can feel the relaxation from the flake.

Just penetrate your skin and your mind as your thoughts begin to simply melt away.

Another gentle flake floats down from the cloud and lands on your neck.

And penetrates through your skin,

Your muscles,

Each and every sinew and your throat.

Feel your breath as it so easily floats through you,

Within you and around you.

The gentle flake floats down from the cloud and lands on your chest.

Notice your gentle heartbeat beating at its most perfect pace.

Can you see now?

The cloud is slowly and gently beginning to rain the orange flakes.

Those gentle flakes floating down and landing on your stomach.

Breathe away any tension as the orange flakes gently rain upon your whole body.

Covering your arms,

Your wrists,

Your hands and to the very tips of your fingers.

Let go.

Let go.

The flakes too land upon your legs,

Your feet,

Your toes.

Let go.

Welcome the stillness to rest and recuperate.

You are safe.

You are loved.

You are wanted.

Welcome the silence within for now.

And I shall gently wake you when you will feel refreshed,

Rejuvenated and ready for your day.

But for now,

Welcome gentle sleep.

For that you have recognised is what is needed right now.

Drift off.

Let go and to sleep.

Drift off.

Welcome the stillness to rest and recuperate.

You are safe.

Welcome the stillness to rest and recuperate.

You are loved.

Welcome back.

It is time to wake up.

It is time to gently become aware of your surroundings.

It's time to rise and stretch your body.

And repeat these affirmations after me.

I am awake.

I am refreshed.

I am rejuvenated.

I am ready.

I am loved.

And with love and with light,

I thank you for your trust in me.

Namaste.

I took a nap while listening to this. Woke up, stretched and then slayed in pickleball.

Lovely, thank you. A calming soft tone of voice takes us through a short excercise then leaves us in silence for while. I always set my inner timer to sleep for 10 minutes so was snoozing when brought gently back to my day.
