Welcome to your nightly bedtime story meditation.
I'm so glad you're here.
Tonight,
We will be taking a journey together to the starry lake.
So,
Settle in as I remind you how important sleep is for your mental and physical health.
This track is here to make sure you're getting as deep and nourishing of sleep as possible,
So you wake up tomorrow feeling refreshed and ready to live your best life.
For most optimal results,
Listen to this track 21 nights in a row for the cumulative benefits of deep and restful sleep.
So,
To get us started,
I'll invite you to get nice and comfortable.
In fact,
I'd like you to see just how comfy you can get.
If there is anything you can do to increase your comfort in this moment,
I'd like you to do that for yourself.
When you're nice and settled in,
I'll invite you to breathe with me.
Let's take a deep breath in together,
Feeling the belly rise,
Suspending it slightly at the top,
And as you exhale,
Feel your body begin to relax.
Another deep breath in brings our belly to expansion.
Hold it at the top for a moment and slowly let it out.
Closing your eyes for the final deep breath,
Allowing the belly to effortlessly rise.
Gently suspend the breath at the top.
And as you exhale,
Melting into your nest,
Allowing peace to wash over you like a gentle ocean wave,
Serenading you into its embrace.
With each wave you breathe in,
Feeling the warm embrace of peace.
Becoming more and more comforting.
As the events of the day are washed away,
As the waves of peace continue to soothe and entice your nervous system,
You can feel them drifting you to a serene place.
A place where only calm and stillness exist.
You can feel yourself beginning to fade away from your day and obligations.
Do you find yourself standing on a soft,
Grassy path?
The sky above is a soft,
Purple-blue,
Like the last light of dusk.
And the stars are beginning to twinkle gently.
The air is cool but not cold.
The air is cool but not cold.
And a light breeze rustles through the tall trees that line the path.
You take a slow,
Easy breath and start walking.
Feeling the earth solid and steady beneath your feet.
Each step is soft and unhurried.
You have no destination to rush to.
Only a peaceful path to follow.
The leaves on the trees rustle lightly,
Like whispers of the night.
And in the distance,
You can hear the sound of water,
Gentle and rhythmic,
Lapping at the shore of a calm lake.
As you walk,
Notice how your body begins to feel lighter.
With every step,
The weight of the day begins to fade away.
Any tension,
Any worry,
Any lingering thoughts from the day begin to dissolve like mist in the evening air.
The farther you walk,
The more relaxed you become.
And the softer the world around you feels.
The path gently curves,
And soon you come to a small clearing.
In front of you,
Stretching out into the distance,
Is a beautiful lake.
The surface is so still and calm that it mirrors the night sky perfectly.
The stars above twinkle softly in the water.
Making it look as though there are two skies,
One above and one below.
You step closer to the lake's edge and sit down on a soft patch of grass.
The ground beneath you feels welcoming,
Almost as if it's cradling you.
You take another deep breath,
Feeling the cool,
Clean air fill your lungs.
And as you exhale,
You release even more of the day's energy,
Sinking deeper into the calm that surrounds you.
The lake's water shimmers under the light of the moon.
And as you gaze at the reflection of the stars,
You feel a deep sense of peace.
The stars seem to speak to you in their quiet way.
Reminding you that you are part of something much larger,
Much more peaceful than any worries you may have carried with you.
Now closing your eyes in this peaceful scene by the lake.
Imagining you are lying down on a soft blanket of grass.
The earth below you supports you completely.
And the sky above wraps you in a gentle embrace.
You are safe here.
You are calm.
You are at peace.
As you rest here,
Imagine that with each breath,
A soft,
Warm light begins to glow within you.
With every inhale,
This light grows brighter.
And with every exhale,
It spreads throughout your body,
Filling you with warmth and comfort.
On the inhale,
The light grows in radiance.
And on the exhale,
The light spreads its warmth all the way to the edges of you.
This light is soothing,
Easing away any remaining tension in your muscles and any heaviness in your heart or mind.
Now imagine that this soft,
Warm light begins to extend beyond your body creating a bubble of comfort and protection around you.
Inside this bubble,
You feel weightless,
Floating in a sea of calm.
You are free from all distractions,
All worries.
There is only peace here.
As you float in this bubble of light,
The stars above twinkle softly.
One by one,
They begin to descend from the sky,
Drifting down like feathers.
They float gently toward you,
And as each one touches the bubble of light around you,
It dissolves into a tiny transmission of peace,
Sending ripples of calm through your body.
You gratefully receive this peaceful blessing from the stars.
Each star that touches you fills you with a deeper sense of relaxation.
You feel your muscles soften even more.
Your mind grow quieter.
Your heart settle into a steady,
Peaceful rhythm.
You are completely at ease now,
At ease now,
Floating in this beautiful space between the stars and the earth.
Stay here for a few moments,
Resting in this perfect stillness,
Feeling the warmth of the light within you,
And the cool,
Peaceful air around you.
This bubble of light around you is here to help you sleep peacefully and deeply.
You feel a gentle connection to the world around you,
At one with the cool night air.
Completely relaxed.
Completely at peace.
The stars continue to twinkle above,
A reminder that you are always safe,
Always supported.
This peace always available to you.
The stars always here for you,
Protecting you.
As you prepare to drift into sleep,
You take one last look at the peaceful lake.
The water is still.
The stars are bright.
And the world is calm.
You know that this place of peace is always within you.
Whenever you need to,
You can return to this starry lake,
Where the night is calm,
And your heart is light.
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Let yourself drift off into sleep.
Knowing that you are cradled in peace,
Surrounded by the light of the stars,
And deeply at rest.
Good night,
Stardreamer.
May sweet dreams visit you.
