Hi,
This is Michelle Swern.
We're going to reflect on a nighttime sleep meditation meant for relaxation called Peaceful Butterfly.
Close your eyes and take in a nice deep breath.
Allow your tummy to fill up like a balloon and then exhale slowly blowing out the air through your mouth like you're blowing out a candle.
Do this five times to really relax your whole body completely.
As you breathe deeply,
Your body begins to feel relaxed,
Sinking further down into your nice soft bed.
Your legs begin to feel heavy.
Your arms begin to feel heavy and relaxed.
Letting go of the day.
Enjoying every moment as your body continues to relax with each word I say.
Now as your body relaxes,
Imagine you're a beautiful butterfly fluttering high in the sky.
Down below you see the lovely green valley with lots of colorful flowers just waiting for you to enjoy.
You feel the wind blow against your delicate wings.
As the wind touches you,
It gently blows away any worries,
Any stress you feel.
Feel how wonderful it is to be so free.
Your mind is clear and calm.
You've left any worries far behind.
You're completely peaceful.
You allow your true happiness to shine through.
The sun touches your body and warms you.
Big puffy white clouds floating in the sky remind you how relaxed and calm you can be whenever you want.
The earth is a patchwork of color and you enjoy each moment gliding along feeling joyful and peaceful.
You spread your wings far and stretch.
It feels so good and calm.
Your mind is peaceful.
You're ready for a wonderful peaceful sleep.
Take in a deep breath and exhale slowly.
With a clear calm mind say these words to yourself.
I am peaceful.
I am calm.
I am safe.
I am ready for a wonderful adventure in dreamland.
Good night.
