Hello my friends,
My name is Crystal and I'm so happy that you've joined me today.
Take a moment to get settled in and be as comfortable as you can wherever you are on your bed or a couch.
And to help us feel even more relaxed and comfortable,
We're going to do something fun together.
I'd like you to take your hands,
One and then the other,
Just hold them up and then rub them together as fast as you can,
Just like this.
And keep going and keep rubbing as fast as fast as you can,
Making them go faster,
Faster,
Faster,
And then stop.
And can you feel that tingling?
That's your own energy in your hands.
Now take your hands and cross them in front of you.
And with that energy in your hands,
Just give your arms a nice cuddle.
Maybe run your hands up and down your arms all the way up,
All the way down a couple times to make you feel nice and relaxed.
Great job.
And now your hands can stay where they are or you can let them fall to your sides,
Whatever is most comfortable.
You might still notice that buzzing in your hands or your arms.
So just take a moment to experience that feeling and any other feelings you might be experiencing.
Maybe you feel your blanket laying on your body or feel your pillow against your head.
Perhaps your blanket has a certain texture.
Maybe it's bumpy or soft.
Or maybe you can feel the softness of your teddy bear or other stuffy with you.
Just noticing all of those feelings that your hands and your body can feel.
And as you notice,
You may also begin to notice that your eyes have closed.
Or maybe they're just closing now,
Just slightly relaxing down.
Maybe one eye is more closed than the other.
Or maybe they're both closed the same amount.
No matter what they're doing,
They're just slowly getting more relaxed.
And you just continue to feel more and more relaxed and cozy as you settle down.
And I'd like you to think about,
Imagine,
Pretend or feel a whole dark sky of stars above you.
Maybe the sun is just setting.
It's starting to go from light to darker to dark.
Then the stars are beginning to light up in the sky,
Just popping out one by one.
And as it gets darker and darker,
You start to see more and more stars.
Just as if you're laying outside on a blanket,
Looking up at all the stars in the sky,
So many little points of light.
And know you're safe and warm in your cozy bed right now.
And the light of all the stars and the darkness of the sky makes you feel very safe and warm.
Looking up at the sky feels so peaceful and relaxing.
And as you see,
Imagine,
Feel or pretend this big,
Big sky of stars.
I'd like for you to start to zoom in on one,
Just one of the small twinkly lights in the sky.
Just like you might do on a tablet or a screen,
You find yourself just being able to zoom in really,
Really close.
Maybe you're getting closer to the star or maybe it's just zooming in closer to you.
No matter how,
As you pay attention to it,
It starts to get bigger and bigger and bigger.
As it gets bigger,
You feel the warmth and the light coming down stronger and stronger from this one star.
And the light gets so big and so strong that it seems to wrap around you and you float around in its light for a little bit.
You feel so relaxed,
So calm floating around in the beautiful light of this star.
And as you're floating around,
Enjoying the feeling of the star's warm,
Cozy light,
You hear a soft whisper.
It's this star,
Your own special star telling you how loved you are.
The star tells you it is sharing its light with you because its job is to remind you that you are made of starlight.
Your own inner light is as bright as the star.
And when the star wraps its light around you,
It is to remind you that you are safe and loved and full of only light and only goodness.
So take a moment to feel the light and the warmth around you and feel how supported and comfortable you feel in the light of this beautiful star.
And because you're feeling the light of your own special star,
You know that you can be just who you are.
You know that you have this special light inside of you and how warm and how good this light is.
And it makes you feel more safe and more confident just to let this light beam out of you into the world.
And you know that any time you need reminding,
You can look up into the sky and see this very special star that belongs just to you.
Even if it's daytime and its light is hidden by the sun,
You will know that it is there shining brightly down on you.
Anytime you need to feel safer or more loved,
Just look up to the stars.
Feeling the healing light of your own special star beaming down on you,
You will feel strong and safe and loved and good.
Now as you stay wrapped in the light of your own special star,
You begin to feel so relaxed and calm that you start to drift down into sleep.
And I'm going to count from five down to one.
And as I do,
You'll start to notice that you're floating back down,
Deeper down into your bed,
Pillow,
Blanket,
And into sleep,
Down into sleep.
Number five,
The deep dark sky wraps around you like a blanket.
It feels soft and warm and comforting.
Number four,
Going down deeper down,
All of the stars in the sky are like little tiny points of light on this blanket around you.
And they gently glimmer on your bed,
Sinking deeper down.
Number three,
Your special star whispers good night in your ear ever so softly.
And the sound helps you drift further and further away,
Down into sleep.
Number two,
Almost there now,
Just letting your star rock you gently to sleep with its light as you're cozy in the blanket of the night sky.
Number one,
Farther down,
Lovely,
Deep sleep is upon you.
Good night,
My friend.
