Behind your closed eyelids,
In your imagination,
The dulcet scene of a summer meadow begins to slowly appear.
The scent of this lush and very green nature space wafts about in the soft slow and gentle breeze.
As you feel your body relax,
As the warm comfortable heat of the sun shines down on you,
Your face softens in the peaceful surroundings you begin to see and feel.
At the tops of your shoulders,
The warmth of this summers day washes down your arms to your wrists and hands.
Now walking along quite comfortable and at your own unhurried pace,
The grass beneath your bare feet feels cool and relaxing as it lightly cushions each slow step.
There is no need to think any further than the few steps ahead as everything begins to calmly slow down,
Even your breathing.
As you inhale the soft scents,
You slowly look around,
Trying to find where each flavour is coming from.
Observing the land,
You see roses of different colours and shades,
Lavender flowers in the immensely calm breeze that gently blows,
And sprigs of herbs growing naturally in the butter cups and daisies dotted sporadically around.
Dandelion fluff lightly flows above in the air,
Flowing like a levitating stream towards the deeply blue and cloudless sky.
Each breath now becoming more relaxed as you sense your chest loosening.
The ebb and flow of each natural breath soothes every thought in your mind and every muscle in your body,
Breathing back and forth,
Naturally moving towards a gratifying,
Relaxed relief.
Each step forwards takes you deeper into the soothing and soft sensations you feel,
Exposing more tranquility as you make your way through.
The clean,
Fresh oxygen that invisibly fills the air sleepily soothes your chest,
And with each fresh inhalation also clears your mind.
With your arms lazily dangling by your sides,
Your hands are unclenched as you touch the soft flowers that you pass.
Each petal and flower top,
The texture of velvet,
Relaxing your hands and fingers into a loosened state.
As you walk your path through this mind cleansing natural space,
You begin to walk alongside the edge of a forest.
The overhead branches make the sun flicker as you watch your calm shadow walk at your side.
The scent of bark and more earthy smells send you deeper into calmness,
Now feeling cooler in the shade of the sun.
Your quiet footsteps brush the soft,
Now patchy grass as you begin to lose yourself completely.
The sensation of being in sync with yourself and the natural beauty that surrounds you warms your heart area as you feel a peacefulness so strong.
Each footstep now feels effortless.
On one side of you,
The green,
Lush meadow waves like that of a gentle ocean and on the other side,
A place of stillness,
Calmness and hypnotic shadow patterns created from the leaves of the trees in the slow breeze that blows.
Now in between lullaby and rest,
An opening in the forest is lined with a smooth path.
Making your way slowly into the forest,
Following the clearing in the trees,
Your body is emotionally soothed.
Each tree,
Different than the last,
But most reaching high into the sky to catch a glimpse of the warm,
Hidden sun.
The astounding quietness of white noise that surrounds your ears in the sounds of the leaves and branches that dance to the gentle breeze calms your every sense.
The distant chirps of birds can barely be heard,
Acting like a lullaby in allowing you to let go more in this moment.
The colours of browns,
Greens and reds in various shades help to sooth your eyes as you absorb this soft palette painting.
Thinking no more,
Being present,
You just willingly be.
Just floating through the lining of the trees.
A small stream flows to your side,
With butterflies floating at its banks.
The trickle of clean,
Transparent water creates a pleasant diversion,
Deepening the effect of every relaxing sensation that you observe.
Following the direction of the stream,
The air becomes fresher and cooler,
Relaxing the atmosphere completely.
With the water sliding and gliding along the banks,
The stream begins to widen.
With a slight downward dip,
The path you have been following comes to an end,
As the stream opens up into a large pool and on the other side,
A waterfall.
As you look ahead,
The gentle ripple of this oasis is brought to life by an abundance of water falling over the rock face above.
A mist of spray sits at the foot of this waterfall,
Hovering over the body of water below.
Being one with yourself in this moment,
The mist begins to rise upwards and above the water.
As you watch in awe,
Colours begin to be seen,
The first being yellow,
Then purple and red.
Seeing the colours being formed in the air,
Above the water,
A rainbow is formed.
As it continues to be clearer,
It extends from over the waterfall to the edge of your feet.
The colours of this rainbow shine softly,
But bright enough to be seen on your legs and feet.
Being transparent,
You lean forward and run your fingers through the colourful ray of light to find that you can feel a force,
A vibrational sensation.
Backing your hand slowly away,
You observe that it in fact supports the weight of your hand.
You take a step forwards onto the rainbow.
With the see through bridge supporting your weight,
You take another step.
Standing on the rainbow,
You begin to trust as you walk,
Inquisitive of where this new path will lead.
Upwards and above the lake below,
You become parallel with the trees in which you once walked amongst.
The sight from here is a completely different perspective.
You feel lighter and even more relaxed than you were before.
As the sun shines down,
Keeping you warm,
It illuminates the magical water droplets that make up this bridge of colours.
Now half way across the rainbow,
It becomes quiet.
You hear no sound,
Not even that of the waterfall below.
As you continue to take steps to the other side,
The red stream of colours begin to glow,
Sending its properties of trust,
Security and self confidence to you.
As you walk further on,
You absorb the red energy willingly.
Now feeling more confident,
Your calmness levels become reassured with the self love that you have for yourself.
As the red energy of the rainbow fades,
The orange colour beams brighter and with your trust,
You receive a grounded sensation,
A feeling of all your emotions settling down.
No sooner does the orange glow fade out,
Clarity and clearness of thought is absorbed from the yellow wisdom of the rainbow.
Every sense,
Emotion,
Feeling and thought now helping you to feel more relaxed in every way.
Now as the yellow energy of the rainbow becomes less bright,
Leaving you more in being present,
The green glow of abundance fills your mind and body,
Allowing you to know that you are enough and that you can only grow in yourself.
With the green now fading out,
A blue illumination of intuition gives you foresight and trust in yourself,
Confidence to make the right decisions for you.
And that decision in this moment is to relax even more.
As the blue energy stream fades out,
The indigo gives you calmness to the highest level,
Allowing you to be mindful in giving permission to yourself to bring calmness without guilt.
With the energy of indigo dimming,
The last colour,
Violet,
Begins to glow and when used with the other colour energies,
You will truly live in the present,
Unlocking solutions for yourself and by now the solution to falling asleep is apparent.
As you reach the edge of this bridge,
All the colours of this rainbow begin to glow brightly,
Reassuring you of what you have been sent and that is to heal as you sleep.
Feeling a vibration from beneath,
You begin to float up as the rainbow shines softly.
Your every muscle relaxes deeply as you absorb its healing and relaxing energy.
Drifting slowly up,
Everything becomes even more silent,
The vibrations you once felt are no longer there.
In between drifting off and being asleep,
Your eyelids become heavier,
Your mind quieter.
Still,
Silent,
Safe and peaceful,
You float into sleep.
Your dreams await you as you float further into a very relaxed state.
The dreams you will dream will be positive,
Refreshing and comforting.
For now,
Rest your mind and body,
Drift off and sleep a peaceful sleep.
