Welcome to this Slumberland Sleep Story.

I'll be your guide as you embark on a magical journey through an enchanted forest in the beautiful British countryside,

Discovering its hidden wonders,

Meeting its mystical inhabitants and unravelling the secrets of this slumberland as you fall asleep to the soothing sounds of nature.

Before we begin I would like to wish you the most peaceful nights sleep and pleasant dreams.

You can take a few moments to settle down comfortably,

You can shift about a little if you need to,

To help to make yourself even more comfortable,

And when you're ready you can let your eyes gently close.

And as this story unfolds,

You can take a few deep,

Relaxing breaths,

Allowing the out breaths to be a little longer than the in breaths,

This triggers the bodies natural relaxation response.

And as you relax,

You can find yourself standing at the entrance of a serene enchanting forest,

With tall ancient trees gently swaying in a soft breeze.

The air is cool and fresh,

And the soothing scent of pine and damp earth fills your nostrils.

The sun is beginning to set,

Casting the most wonderful,

Warm,

Golden light that filters through the leaves,

Creating dappled patterns on the forest floor.

You can hear the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant melodic song of birds preparing for the night.

As you take a step forward,

The soft moss beneath your feet cushions your every step,

Making you feel as though you're walking on a cloud.

The further you venture into the forest,

The more you become absorbed in the serene beauty that surrounds you,

Each breath you take feels like a deep,

Soothing sigh of relaxation,

And with each exhale,

You can feel yourself sinking deeper and deeper into a state of peace and calm.

The trees around you seem to almost whisper their secrets in the wind,

Telling stories of the ages they've witnessed.

You can notice the delicate branches reaching out like fingers touching the sky.

You can feel a sense of awe and wonder at the majesty of these ancient guardians of the forest,

And as you walk further along the winding path,

You can come across a small bubbling brook,

Its crystal clear waters sparkling in the fading sunlight.

The gentle sound of the water flowing over the smooth stones is like a lullaby inviting you to pause and listen,

Allowing your mind to become more fully absorbed in the melody.

You can take a moment to rest by the brook,

Sitting down on a nearby rock covered in soft green moss,

And as you close your eyes,

You can feel the cool gentle breeze on your face carrying with it the sweet scent of wildflowers and the soothing sounds of the forest.

The world around you seems to slow down and with each breath you find yourself becoming more and more deeper relaxed,

As if you're sinking into the very essence of the forest.

The magical atmosphere of the enchanted forest begins to work its soothing spell on you as you continue to explore its hidden wonders.

In the distance you can hear the faint sound of laughter,

Like the tinkling of silver bells drawing you deeper and deeper into the heart of this woodland,

And as you relax and become more and more absorbed in the enchanting forest,

A gentle whisper in the wind speaks to you of a quest,

A purpose for your journey through this mystical realm.

The whisper tells you of the mythical golden oak,

A tree said to grant insight and wisdom to those fortunate enough to discover it.

The quest resonates deep within your heart,

Filling you with a sense of purpose and determination,

And you continue along the winding path,

Following the sound of laughter that seems to dance through the trees.

As you walk deeper and deeper into the forest,

You notice that the trees themselves begin to change.

Their bark is now adorned with intricate patterns and symbols,

Ancient runes that seem to glow with a subtle shimmering light.

The atmosphere is thick with magic,

And you can feel the energy of the forest pulsing through the ground,

Up through your feet and into your very core.

And as you continue to venture further,

The enchanted forest reveals its hidden wonders.

You discover a small glade filled with vibrant,

Colourful flowers,

Their petals glistening with dewdrops that sparkle like tiny diamonds.

The air is filled with the sweet scent of the blossoms,

And you breathe it in deeply,

Comfortably,

Feeling it cleanse and invigorate your body and mind.

The laughter that you've been following leads you to a group of playful,

Mischievous creatures.

The forest's mystical inhabitants.

They're small with delicate wings that shimmer like gossam,

Leaving a trail of sparkling dust as they dart through the air.

They dance and play among the trees,

Their laughter filling the air like a symphony of happiness.

As you approach,

They become curious about your presence and draw closer to you,

Their eyes filled with wonder and excitement.

You tell them of your quest to find the golden oak,

And they eagerly offer to guide you on your journey.

They lead you deeper and deeper into the forest,

Through a maze of twisting paths and hidden tunnels.

The magical creatures seem to know the forest intimately,

And you trust their guidance as you navigate the ever-changing landscape.

As you follow your new companions,

The forest becomes even more enchanting.

The trees grow taller and more twisted,

Their branches forming intricate interwoven patterns that cast shadows like delicate lace on the forest floor.

The air is filled with the sound of rustling leaves and the distant,

Curious call of an unknown bird,

Creating a symphony of natural harmonies that soothes your soul.

As the sun is continuing to set,

The forest is bathed in a warm,

Golden light that seems to come from within the trees themselves.

The shadows lengthen,

And the colours of the flowers and leaves become more vibrant and intense,

As if painted by an unseen hand.

You can feel the magic of the forest growing stronger,

And you know that you're getting closer to your goal.

And as you reach the heart of the enchanted forest,

You discover yourself standing before an ancient,

Gnarled tree,

Its trunk twisted and knotted like the hands of a wise old sage.

The tree is surrounded by a circle of smooth,

Moss-covered stones,

Creating a sacred space that feels both serene and powerful.

You can sense that the golden oak is near,

And with a feeling of anticipation and excitement,

You continue your journey,

Your heart filled with gratitude for the guidance of the mystical creatures and the magic of the enchanted forest.

And as you continue on through the enchanted forest,

You eventually come across a majestic,

Ancient willow tree,

Its long,

Slender branches swaying gently in the breeze,

Creating a soothing,

Hypnotic dance.

As you approach,

You notice that the tree seems to be whispering,

Its voice soft and melodic,

Like a lullaby sung by the wind.

You stand before the willow,

Captivated by its presence and the enchanting whispers,

You feel a sense of calm and tranquility wash over you,

As if the tree is sharing its wisdom and secrets with your very core.

You close your eyes and allow the willows whispers to guide you on a journey of relaxation and healing.

And as you drift into that reverie,

You can have a sense of relaxing your mind and body.

You can find yourself focusing on the top of your head,

Noticing what your head is resting on,

How your head is supported so gently in place,

The comfort in and around your head resting there,

Having a sense of the muscles around your scalp and the back of your head softening and relaxing.

Drawing in peace and comfort with each breath that you take,

Before moving your awareness around your face.

Focusing on what it's like for that relaxation to spread around your face,

Your ears and your cheeks,

Your ears and your cheeks,

Having the muscles in these areas soften and relax.

Relaxing the muscles around your eyes and across your forehead,

While the muscles around the side of your head and over the top of your head begin to relax deeper and deeper.

Noticing how you can pay attention to fading tension or perhaps find that tension dissolves without paying it any attention at all.

And you continue to allow that relaxation to spread down around your mouth,

Relaxing your lips and your jaw,

Relaxing the muscles around the side of your neck,

Around to the back of your neck and around your throat.

As your jaw relaxes and hangs slightly loose,

Limp and comfortable,

That relaxation can continue to move down to your shoulders and upper back.

And I don't know whether that relaxation happens fastest around your shoulders,

Or in the upper back,

Or perhaps down the tops or the front of your shoulders,

As that relaxation progresses around your back and your chest.

Softening and relaxing those muscles fully,

Deeply and comfortably.

And as those muscles soften and relax while you rest there,

That relaxation can begin to spread down the arms to the hands,

All the way to the fingertips.

And I don't know which arm will relax fully fastest,

Whether it'll be the left arm or the right arm,

Or whether the arms will relax at the same rate and speed as each other.

And as that relaxation continues through those arms,

It can flow gently down through your stomach,

Your sides and lower back,

All the way down to your bottom,

Before extending deeply down through your legs to the tips of your toes.

And as your body becomes deeper and deeper relaxed,

While you drift and float so comfortably into the most pleasant sleep,

So your mind begins to relax,

You begin to have a sense of a healing light touching your forehead,

Enveloping your face and head with healing deep relaxation,

Absorbing comfortably and gently into you with each in-breath that you take,

Filling you with healing peace and calm,

Spreading that healing,

Restorative,

Recuperative light down through your body,

Breathing in healing,

Calm relaxation,

And breathing out any stress or tension,

Aware of that healing light passing down your neck,

Softening and relaxing those muscles,

Spreading that healing light throughout the neck as it spreads down with the next breath to your shoulders,

Around the back of your neck and gently down into your arms,

Gradually continuing that flow of healing light all the way to the tips of the fingers.

And with another in-breath,

The healing light can spread down through the body,

Softening and relaxing muscles,

Healing deep within the body,

Filling the body with pleasure and deep relaxation,

As the light journeys down around your stomach,

Your lower back and sides,

All the way down into your buttocks and continuing down your legs to the soles of your feet,

Gently filling your whole body with that healing,

Restorative light.

And as you allow that light to flow with each breath,

You can find your mind drifting deeper and deeper into the reverie,

Where the secrets of the enchanted forest and the wisdom of the ancient willow tree awaits you,

Ready to guide you further on your quest for the mythical golden oak.

And as you continue to drift deeper and deeper into the reverie,

You can find yourself standing at the edge of the most beautiful crystal clear lake,

Surrounded by a tranquil forest.

The sun casts a gentle golden glow over the water,

As the surface sparkles like a sea of diamonds.

The air is fresh and crisp,

Carrying the scent of the earth and the soothing whispers of leaves rustling in the gentle breeze.

As you take in the beauty of this peaceful haven,

You feel the comforting warmth of the sun on your skin and the softness of the grass beneath your feet.

Your heart fills with a sense of calm and contentment,

As you become more and more absorbed in the tranquility of the moment.

You can notice the gentle ripples in the water,

Created by the breeze and the occasional falling leaf.

And these delicate movements in the water capture your attention,

As you observe the resilience of the lake amidst the subtle disturbances.

You realise that the ripples,

However fleeting,

Do not disrupt the stillness of the lake,

But rather add to its grace and beauty.

This observation reminds you of the power of patience and resilience in your own life.

You understand that,

Like the lake,

You too can remain calm and composed through life's challenges,

Embracing the ripples as a natural part of your journey.

You can recognise that by cultivating inner peace,

You can gracefully navigate through life's ups and downs,

While maintaining a sense of balance and harmony.

As you contemplate this wisdom,

You take a seat on the soft grass by the water's edge,

Allowing the gentle sounds of the lake to further soothe your mind and soul.

You notice the sound of the water gently lapping against the shore,

The distant song of birds in the trees and the rustling leaves above you.

Each sound serves as a gentle reminder of the resilience and patience that resides within you.

You breathe deeply and comfortably,

Allowing the soothing energy of the lake to fill your entire being as you continue to relax and let go of any tension or stress.

And with each breath,

You feel more and more at peace,

Drawing strength from the serene beauty of the lake and the resilience it represents.

As the sun continues to set,

Casting a warm golden hue across the landscape,

You decide to rest by the water's edge.

You lie down on the soft grass,

Feeling the gentle warmth of the earth beneath you,

Your eyes becoming heavy and your breathing slowing down as you drift further and deeper into relaxation.

And as the last rays of the setting sun kiss your face,

You find yourself drifting out of the reverie,

Feeling rejuvenated and filled with newfound wisdom and drifting into a peaceful slumber,

Carrying the lessons of patience and resilience with you.

The next morning,

As you awaken from the reverie,

As you awaken from your slumber,

Your body and mind can feel deeply relaxed and you can find yourself still within the soothing embrace of the enchanted forest.

The whispers of the wise willow tree lingering in your mind,

Guiding you as you continue your journey with a renewed sense of wonder and appreciation for the magical world around you.

You can take a moment to breathe in the rich,

Earthy scents of the forest,

Allowing the calming aroma to fill your lungs and spread a sense of tranquility throughout your entire being.

As you exhale,

You release any remaining tension or stress,

Feeling it dissipate into the air like a gentle breeze.

With each step you take,

The soft mossy ground beneath your feet cushions your movements,

Further enhancing the sense of relaxation that envelops you.

The delicate sounds of rustling leaves and the distant melodic birdsong continue to create that soothing symphony that's echoing throughout the enchanted forest,

Guiding you deeper and deeper into its heart.

And as you become more and more absorbed in the magical atmosphere,

You can notice the forest around you transforming.

The once dense foliage begins to open up,

Revealing clearings filled with an abundance of vibrant,

Colourful flowers.

The sunlight filtering through the canopy above,

Casting its dappled patterns of light and shadow on the forest floor,

Creating a mesmerising kaleidoscope that dances with each gentle sway of their branches.

And you can pause for a moment,

Just to marvel at the enchanting beauty that surrounds you,

Taking the time to appreciate the intricate details of each flower and the delicate,

Shimmering wings of the butterflies that flit gracefully from bloom to bloom.

The sweet scent of the blossoms fills the air,

Mingling with the earthy aroma of the forest to create a perfume that's both invigorating and calming.

As you continue to follow the whispers of the willow tree,

The enchanted forest reveals more of its hidden wonders.

You come across a small,

Bubbling brook,

Its crystal clear waters sparkling like diamonds as they cascade over smooth,

Warm pebbles.

You can pause to cup your hands and take a sip,

Finding the water to be incredibly refreshing and revitalising.

A sense of inner peace can wash over you as you savour that cool,

Soothing liquid.

And with renewed energy,

You continue journeying onwards,

Feeling a deep connection to the magical forest and its inhabitants.

Small woodland creatures,

Sensing your peaceful aura,

Begin to emerge from their hiding places,

Accompanying you as you traverse this beautiful landscape.

Squirrels scamper playfully in the branches above,

While rabbits hop contentedly at your side.

Their soft,

Fur covered bodies,

A comforting presence.

And as the sun begins to dip below the horizon once again,

Casting a warm golden glow on the enchanted forest,

You find yourself approaching a glimmering grove,

Its golden leaves,

You find yourself approaching a glimmering grove,

Its ethereal light beckoning you forward.

The whispers of the willow tree become more pronounced,

Guiding you with gentle encouragement towards this mystical destination.

Filled with anticipation and a profound sense of gratitude for the wonders you've experienced during your journey,

You step into the radiant light of the grove,

Eager to uncover the wisdom and insight that awaits you in the presence of the fabled golden oak.

And as you enter the mystical grove,

You're immediately surrounded by a warm golden light that seems to emanate from every corner of this enchanted place.

The atmosphere is filled with an aura of serenity,

Tranquility and wisdom that permeates your entire being,

Inviting you to explore and discover the world around you.

The magical area further.

With each step that you take,

The soft,

Grassy ground beneath your feet seems to radiate a gentle warmth,

Soothing your tired muscles and further relaxing your body.

The golden light that fills the grove casts a gentle ethereal glow on the leaves and flowers around you,

Their colors appearing richer and more vibrant than any you've ever seen before.

As you wander deeper into the grove,

You come across an array of fascinating inhabitants,

Each one more enchanting than the last.

Delicate,

Shimmering fairies dance gracefully through the air,

Their laughter like the tinkling of tiny bells.

Wise old owls perched serenely on branches,

Observing the world around them with their large,

Knowing eyes.

Even the plants themselves seem to possess a certain sentience,

Their leaves and petals gently swaying in time with the harmonious rhythm of the grove.

Drawn by the alluring presence of the wise golden oak,

You continue to navigate the grove,

Your curiosity and sense of wonder growing stronger with each step.

As you round a bend,

Your breath catches in your throat at the sight that greets you,

Standing proudly in the center of the grove is the golden oak itself,

Its majestic trunk and branches glistening with an otherworldly brilliance.

The golden oak's leaves and lustrous shade of gold shimmer and dance in the soft breeze,

Creating a mesmerizing display of light and shadow.

Its thick,

Ancient trunk is covered with intricate patterns and symbols that seem to tell a story of wisdom and insight gained through the ages.

As you approach the majestic tree,

The inhabitants of the grove gather around you,

Their eyes filled with reverence and respect.

The wise old owls nod their heads in silent acknowledgement,

While the fairies flit excitedly about,

Their laughter now a gentle,

Soothing melody that fills the air.

You reach out and place your hand upon the golden oak's trunk,

Feeling the smooth,

Warm bark beneath your fingers.

An overwhelming sense of calm and understanding washes over you,

As if the tree itself is imparting its age-old wisdom directly into you.

The golden oak's voice,

A gentle,

Resonant whisper that seems to echo through your very being,

Fills your mind with its ancient knowledge.

It speaks of balance,

Harmony and gratitude,

Sharing with you the secrets of inner peace and wisdom that have been passed down through the ages.

And as you absorb the tree's words,

Your heart fills with gratitude for the journey that has led you to this magical place.

You feel an indescribable connection to the enchanted forest,

And the ethereal grove that had welcomed you so warmly.

Surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the grove and its inhabitants,

And enveloped in the soothing embrace of the golden oak's wisdom,

Offers to guide you deeply into a profoundly relaxing state.

The purpose of this process is to allow you to connect with the ancient knowledge on an even deeper level as you gradually become more and more aware of the wisdom that has been passed on to you.

As you gradually become more and more relaxed and at peace with each passing moment.

Drifting and floating,

Deeply relaxed asleep,

Into slumberland.
