As you begin to drift from wakefulness to the dreamworld,

You may start to notice a gentle shift in your perception.

Your body may feel heavier as your muscles begin to relax,

And your breathing may become slower and deeper.

As your mind begins to wander,

You may find yourself imagining peaceful scenes.

As you continue to drift deeper into relaxation,

Your thoughts may become more abstract and dreamlike.

Any mental images that you see may be fleeting and difficult to grasp,

Like trying to hold on to a wisp of smoke.

Despite the fleeting nature of these imaginings,

They feel soothing and comforting,

Like a warm blanket wrapping around you on a chilly night.

Allow yourself to sink deeper into this peaceful state,

Feeling your mind and body letting go of any tension or worry.

You are safe and secure,

And you can surrender to the gentle ambience of sleep.

Let go now,

And allow yourself to fully relax and drift off into a restful and rejuvenating slumber.

Your mind and imagination now fade into the view of a beautiful garden,

With many flowers on the outskirts of a forest,

And a beach.

As you continue to drift into a peaceful slumber,

Your mind conjures up a beautiful garden on the outskirts of a forest and a beach.

You find yourself standing in the centre of this garden,

Surrounded by many colours,

Textures and scents.

The first thing you notice is the scent of the flowers,

Wafting on a gentle breeze.

The air is perfumed with the sweet fragrance of roses,

Lilacs and lilies,

Blending together to create a heady aroma that fills,

That fills your senses.

You look around and see that the garden is bursting with life,

Vibrant hues of pink,

Red,

Yellow and purple fill your vision as you take in the endless variety of flowers.

The roses are a deep crimson,

The lilies a pure white,

And the daffodils a bright and sunny yellow.

Everywhere you look,

There are blossoms of every shape and size,

Each one more beautiful than the last.

As you walk deeper into the garden,

You feel the soft grass under your feet,

And you notice the coolness of the soil beneath.

The grass is a rich emerald green,

And it feels soft and inviting against your skin.

You hear the sound of a gentle stream running nearby,

And a tinkling of the water over rocks only adds to the sense of peace that you feel.

As you approach the forest,

You see a carpet of bluebells spreading out before you.

Like a soft blue haze,

The trees themselves are tall and majestic,

With leaves rustling in the breeze,

A chorus of birds sing from the branches above,

And a soft sound of rustling leaves fills your ears.

Looking towards the beach,

You see the shimmering blue of the sea,

With waves lapping gently against the shore.

The sand is soft and white,

And the water is crystal clear.

You can see schools of fish darting around just beneath the surface,

And you feel a sense of wonder and joy at the beauty of this natural paradise.

You stand still,

Taking in the beauty of this garden,

Surrounded by the colours,

Textures and scents of nature.

The warmth of the sun on your skin,

The sound of the wind in the leaves,

And the smell of blooming flowers fill your senses.

Now imagine yourself shrinking to the size of a pea,

As you continue to drift off into a deep and peaceful sleep.

Your mind takes you on another journey,

You now find yourself shrinking down to a tiny size,

Smaller than you have ever been,

As you become smaller and smaller.

You start to notice details that you have never seen before,

The grains of sand beneath your feet become enormous,

A mountain that you could climb,

Blades of grass tower above you,

Swaying gently in the breeze,

Despite your diminutive size.

You feel no fear or anxiety,

Instead,

You feel a sense of wonder at the world around you,

Every sight and sound is magnified,

Every scent and texture heightened.

As you now explore this new and fascinating world,

The flowers that once towered above you now surround you like a forest,

Their petals soft and velvety to the touch.

You see bees buzzing from flower to flower,

Their wings beating so fast that they are nearly invisible,

The sound of their buzzing is like a soothing hum,

Lulling you deeper into relaxation,

The leaves of plants and trees are like canopies above you,

Sheltering you from the sun and providing a cool and refreshing breeze.

You can see the veins in the leaves,

The patterns of the bark on the trees and the intricate network of roots that anchor them to the ground.

As you explore this world at your tiny size,

You realise that there is an entire universe of beauty and complexity that you have never fully appreciated.

You feel a sense of gratitude for the world around you,

And a renewed appreciation for the intricate balance of nature.

As you continue to explore this new and fascinating world,

Especially at your tiny size,

A bee suddenly lands next to you.

The bee is larger than you,

But you feel no fear,

Instead you are filled with a sense of wonder at the tiny creature that has come to visit you.

The bee's body is covered in soft,

Fuzzy hair,

And its wings are like delicate lace as it beats them to lift off from the ground.

The bee beckons you onto its back,

And so without thinking about it,

You climb on.

You feel a gentle breeze as it takes flight,

You are now soaring above the ground.

On the bee's back,

Bee flies with a steady and rhythmic motion,

Its wings beating so fast that you can barely see them.

You feel the wind rushing past you as you float through the air,

As you soar higher and higher.

You see the world around you from a whole new perspective,

The flowers that once towered above you now seem like tiny dots on the ground,

And the trees are like miniature versions of themselves.

You can see the patterns in the fields and the shapes of the clouds in the sky,

All from the vantage point of the bee's back.

The air is cool and fresh,

With the scents of flowers and grass wafting by on the breeze.

You feel a sense of freedom and liberation,

As if you have been unburdened from the constraints of your everyday life.

You are no longer human,

A passenger on the back of a tiny creature,

Flying without a care in the world.

As you travel further and further,

You see new sights and hear new sounds,

You fly over hills and valleys,

Rivers and lakes,

All while perched on the bees back.

You marvel at the beauty of the world around you,

Feeling a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to experience it in such a unique and special way.

As you continue your journey,

You notice that it is stopping every so often to land on flowers,

You watch in amazement as the bee collects nectar from each flower and in doing so,

Unwittingly helps to pollinate them.

You see as the bees fuzzy body touches the stamen of one flower,

Some of the pollen sticks to its fur,

As the bee flies to the next flower,

Some of the pollen rubs off,

Fertilizing the new flower and allowing it to produce seeds.

You feel a sense of awe at this tiny creatures role in the circle of life and you begin to appreciate the vital role that bees play in our ecosystem.

Without them,

The flowers and plants that provide food for us and other animals might not be able to survive.

As the bee finishes its work on each flower,

It takes off again,

Flying higher and higher,

You see the landscape stretching out before you,

Like a patchwork quilt,

With fields of vibrant green and gold,

Forests and meadows,

And rivers winding their way through the landscape.

The bee lands on a small patch of grass and you both rest for a moment,

You look around and notice that there are other bees nearby,

All going about their business of collecting nectar and pollinating flowers,

You feel a sense of peace and contentment.

As you watch the bees at work,

You realise that,

In this moment,

You are simply a tiny part of a much larger ecosystem,

All working together to sustain life on this planet.

As the bee takes off again,

It's not long before it lands in a bird path to drink some of the water.

As the bee takes off again,

You continue your journey through this magical world,

You fly over a meadow filled with wildflowers of every colour,

Their frequencies filling the air,

You feel the warm sun on your skin,

And a gentle breeze on your face.

As you ride on the bees back,

As you approach the edge of a meadow,

You see a castle ruin in the distance,

It's walls crumbling and ivy growing up the sides,

You feel a sense of mystery and intrigue as you fly closer,

Wondering about the stories that this castle might hold.

As you fly closer to the castle ruin,

You can see it's an ancient structure,

With thick stone walls and a high tower that stretches up towards the sky,

The walls are covered in moss and vines,

And you can see small plants growing out of the cracks in the stones.

The entrance to the castle is a gaping hole in the wall,

And you can imagine knights riding in and out of it,

On horseback,

Their armour clanking as they pass through the gates.

You wonder what battles might have been fought here,

And what secrets the castle might hold.

As you fly over the top of the castle,

You can see the roof has long since crumbled,

Leaving only the stone walls and a tall tower standing.

You imagine a princess looking out from one of the high windows,

Dreaming of the day when a knight in shining armour might come to rescue her.

Despite it's ruinous state,

The castle has a grandeur and a majesty that takes your breath away,

You can sense the weight of history and the passing of time,

And you feel a sense of reverence for the ancient structure and the stories it holds.

As the bee continues it's flight,

You feel the wind pick up,

And you know that you are getting closer to the beach.

You can smell the salty sea air,

And hear the sound of waves crashing against the shore.

As you get closer,

You see the expanse of golden sand stretching out in front of you,

Dotted with colourful beach umbrellas and towels.

You see people walking along the shore,

Their feet sinking into the soft sand with each step.

The water sparkles in the sunlight,

And you can see the waves rising and falling,

Creating a gentle rhythm that fills the air.

The sea stretches out to the horizon,

And you can see sail boats and yachts gliding along the water,

Their sails billowing in the breeze.

As the bee lands on the sand,

You feel the warmth of the sun on your skin,

And the coolness of the sand under your feet.

You can hear the seagulls crying in the distance,

And feel the salt spray on your face.

You take in the beauty of the beach,

With it's endless expanse of sand and sea.

You feel a sense of peace and tranquility,

As if you are part of something greater than yourself.

You close your eyes and listen to the sound of the waves,

Letting their rhythm wash over you,

And carry you away,

To a place of relaxation you take off from the beach,

You feel the wind rushing past you once again.

This time,

Taking you to a place you never imagined,

You feel a sense of excitement and curiosity,

As you soar towards an enchanted cave,

Not knowing what to expect.

As you enter the cave,

You are greeted with a wondrous sight,

The walls are lined with sparkling crystals of every colour,

Their facets catching the light and creating a kaleidoscope of colours that dance across the cave.

You can see stalactites and stalagmites reaching towards each other,

Forming delicate arches and bridges across the cave floor.

The air is cool and damp,

But the crystals give off a warm glow,

Illuminating the cave and filling it with a magical ambience.

You notice that some of the crystals are larger than others,

And you see that some of them are growing in clusters,

Forming beautiful patterns and designs.

You can see that some crystals are shaped like flowers and other natural objects.

Climbing off of the bees back,

You walk through the cave,

You have never seen anything like this before.

You can sense the magic and mystery of the cave,

And you feel like you are discovering something new with every step.

The bee hovers nearby,

As if waiting for you to take in the beauty of the cave.

You feel grateful for this moment of tranquility,

And you take a deep breath,

Savouring the cool,

Clean air of the cave.

As you walk through the enchanted cave,

Your eyes are drawn to the glimmering crystals that line the walls.

You marvel at the colours and shapes,

The way the light reflects off each facet to create a dazzling display of rainbow hues.

You feel as though you are walking through a fairy tale,

A place where magic and wonder abound.

As you walk deeper into the cave,

You notice a small opening in the wall.

As you approach it,

You see that it is a portal,

A gateway to somewhere else.

You feel a sense of excitement and curiosity.

The opening is framed by shimmering crystals,

Each one reflecting the light in a unique way.

You can see that the portal leads to somewhere else,

Beyond the enchanted cave.

You pass through the portal,

You feel a wave of energy wash over you.

It's as though you've been transported to another realm,

A place where the rules of the world no longer apply.

You feel weightless and free,

Your body and mind unencumbered by the concerns of the outside world.

You feel as though you are floating through space,

And as your eyes become heavier and heavier and as you travel deeper into this portal,

A great sense of sleepiness overcomes you.

You are now falling asleep in the portal of dreams,

Your mind and imagination has done enough work for today.

It is now time to rest and rejuvenate,

Time to switch off,

And as you delve deeper into the portal of dreams,

Everything begins to fade out,

Even your awareness.

I feel the weightlessness of a feather on the wind,

I am floating in a sea of tranquility,

Free from stress and worry,

My body is as loose and relaxed as the petals of a flower.

I am as weightless as a bubble,

Drifting effortlessly through the air,

Passing by without judgement or attachment.

My mind is as calm as the water in a still lake at sunset.

Filled with the gentle rustling of leaves,

Love your detail! Knocks me out! More like seed of sleep, this one, and the train. They are each worth paying for!

Wonderful. I’ve listened three times perhaps and still haven’t reached the end. When there are new sleep meditations by Christian, it’s like a delicious buffet meal, and one wants to come back again and again for a little more dessert or some other dish. ❤️💤💤💤 This is my favorite of the new plus meditations that you’ve put on on IT… so far 🧘🏻‍♂️.(December 2023. Found the music and affirmations at the end startling and was awakened by them. Volume was probably up too high; but you may want to let listeners know this is coming… but you know I love your meditations, Christian. Thank you!)

What a beautiful & peaceful journey with your soothing voice. I loved being small & seeing everything from a different perspective. This is so unique & a favorite that I will be listening to again. Thank you.
