Welcome,

Dear traveler.

As the day fades into night,

Allow yourself to let go of the waking world and prepare for a peaceful journey into the realms of imagination.

This is your time to relax,

Restore and connect with the wonder of your own inner universe.

Let this moment be your bridge into a serene and restful adventure.

Find a comfortable position,

Either lying down or seated,

And let the surface beneath you fully support your body.

Feel this gentle embrace inviting you to let go of tension and simply be here.

Close your eyes if you haven't already and take a deep,

Soothing breath in.

Feel the cool air filling your lungs,

Bringing calm and clarity.

Hold it for a moment and then slowly exhale,

Releasing the day behind you.

Now,

With each breath,

Allow yourself to sink deeper into comfort and release.

Now imagine yourself lying on a soft,

Grassy hill beneath a vast,

Starry sky.

The ground beneath you is warm,

As if the earth itself is cradling you.

The air around you is crisp and cool,

Carrying the faint scent of wildflowers.

The world is hushed in reverence,

Quiet and still,

As though it too is preparing for rest.

Above you stretches an infinite velvet sky,

Scattered with countless stars shimmering like diamonds.

Some twinkle faintly,

While others glow bright and steady,

Their soft light brushing over you like a gentle caress.

As you gaze upward,

The stars seem to welcome you,

Their light filling you with a sense of calm and connection.

Feel their glow gently warming your body.

With each breath,

The starlight flows into you,

Easing tension from your shoulders,

Your neck and your chest.

It moves through your arms and hands,

Down your back and legs,

And all the way to the tips of your toes.

You are enveloped in a soothing glow,

Weightless and serene,

As if floating among the stars themselves.

As you rest beneath this ethereal dome,

Notice the constellations above you.

They shift and swirl,

Forming patterns and shapes just for you,

A reminder of the infinite possibilities and dreams that await.

Their timeless stories seem to whisper,

Inviting you to explore and discover.

Now imagine the stars aligning into a glowing path,

Guiding you toward the beginning of tonight's journey.

This path is yours alone,

Safe and inviting,

Leading to a world of wonder and peace.

Perhaps it takes you to a story of distant lands,

A soothing adventure,

Or a place of pure tranquility.

Wherever it may lead,

Trust in the journey ahead.

For now,

Simply allow yourself to drift.

Let the rhythm of your breath and the gentle glow of the stars guide you deeper into relaxation.

As you rest under this endless sky,

Feel the peace and stillness of the universe holding you.

When you're ready,

Let the light of the stars carry you into tonight's bedtime journey.

Your adventure begins now.

Let's begin our journey towards tranquility.

A peaceful sleep by releasing the day,

Inch by inch,

Moment by moment.

Close your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so.

Take a slow,

Deep breath,

Filling your lungs fully,

Holding it for a moment,

And then gently releasing it.

Feel the tension in your body starting to dissipate,

Like waves receding back into a calm,

Serene sea.

Again,

Take another deep breath,

Hold,

And exhale slowly.

With each exhale,

Let go of any worries,

Any stresses that you might be holding onto.

Visualize them drifting away like clouds in the sky,

Leaving only the vast openness behind.

Now,

Imagine a soft,

Warm,

Comforting blanket of relaxation gradually enveloping you,

Starting from your feet,

Rising up through your legs,

Covering your torso,

And extending to your arms,

Hands,

Neck,

And finally,

Your head.

Every part of you is gently touched by this calming energy,

Like a mother's soothing lullaby.

Now that your body is relaxed,

Your mind finds itself in a quiet garden,

The garden of the night.

This is your sanctuary,

A haven of tranquility,

Where the day's chatter fades away.

You are here,

Safe,

Serene,

Cradled in the arms of the night.

In a few moments,

I will share with you a calming poem.

Let the rhythm of these words create gentle waves in the stillness of the pond of your mind.

Feel them ripple outward,

Touching every corner of your being with a tender whisper of peace.

This poem is a journey through the night,

Where the moon and the stars are your guiding lights.

Here,

You'll find your heart's tranquility,

Your mind's stillness,

And your soul's serenity.

Let's embark on this journey together,

And let the soothing verses lull you into a gentle,

Peaceful sleep.

In the garden of silence,

Where whispers of night bloom,

Look upon the moon's tender,

Welcoming gloom.

Where the stars shine brightly,

A heavenly broom,

Sweeping away worries,

Dispelling the doom.

Close your eyes gently as the night's soothing hymn weaves through the heart on a soothing whim.

Each beat,

Each pulse,

In its rhythm it swims.

In the vast ocean of dreams,

Where the light never dims.

O weary traveler of the day,

Unburden your soul.

In the night's warm embrace,

Let serenity take control.

Let the dance of the stars,

Their cosmic role,

Guide you towards rest,

Your ultimate goal.

The moon whispers softly through silver streams of light,

In the still of the night,

Putting your fears to flight.

Sweet child of the cosmos,

Take hold of the night.

In the realm of dreams,

Find your heart's delight.

The night sky,

An open canvas of timeless peace,

Where the day's scattered thoughts find sweet release.

Rest now,

Dear one,

Let your worries cease.

In the sanctuary of sleep,

Where all troubles decrease.

Feel the calm,

Gentle pull of the tranquil night.

Embrace the silence,

Let go of the fight.

In the realm of dreams,

Let your soul ignite with visions of love,

Compassion and light.

The universe hums a lullaby of spheres,

Soothing your heart,

Calming your fears.

Let your breath align with the rhythm that endears,

A song of the cosmos whispering in your ears.

Close your eyes and embark on this dreamy ride.

Let the night's magic within your heart reside.

In the realm of dreams,

Where secrets confide.

On this peaceful journey,

Let the stars be your guide.

Sleep now,

Dear one,

In the cradle of the night.

Bathed in the moon's gentle,

Nurturing light.

Awaken in dreams,

Where your soul takes flight.

In the garden of silence,

Find tranquility's sight.

Remember,

We are all but stardust and light.

In the grand tapestry of the universe,

Shining bright.

So sleep now,

Surrender to the sweet night.

Under the blanket of stars,

Whispering goodnight.

In the vast expanse where night meets day,

Shadows and light weave a ballet.

The moon takes the stage in silvery display,

Guiding your heart along the dream's pathway.

The hush of the night,

With its mysterious allure,

Invites your spirit to a journey so pure.

Each star,

A sentinel,

Keeping watch,

Sure.

Over realms of dreams,

Where wonders endure.

Rest your mind,

Let go of the tether.

Float amidst clouds,

Light as a feather.

In the embrace of light,

All comes together.

Moments of serenity,

Memories to gather.

The tranquil lagoon,

Mirrored with stars' glow,

Reflects tales of love and time's gentle flow.

Close your eyes,

Let the dreams show.

A world beyond where heartbeats echo.

Whispers of the cosmos serenade the air,

With lullabies ancient beyond compare.

Embrace the stillness,

Release every care,

As the night's embrace offers solace rare.

Beneath the auroras,

Dancing so free,

Your spirit finds solace,

A place to be.

In the arms of the night,

Mysteries you'll see,

As dreams unfold,

Setting your soul free.

The night,

A canvas painted with dreams' hue,

Promises adventures old and new.

With each breath,

Let tranquility ensue.

For the night holds magic,

Vast and true.

Surrender to the gentle pull of the moon's tide.

Let the stars chart the course,

Be your guide,

In this realm of dreams where secrets reside.

Find peace,

Love,

And the universe,

Side by side.

Sleep now,

Under the cosmic dome vast.

With the night's embrace,

Worries are surpassed.

In the heart of dreams,

Anchor your mast.

For in this gentle realm,

You've found peace at last.

Welcome,

Dear soul.

You have arrived at the threshold of deep stillness.

A place beyond doing.

Beyond striving.

Beyond the weight of yesterday.

Here,

You are invited to soften everything.

Take a slow,

Effortless breath in.

And as you exhale,

Imagine dissolving,

Like mist,

Into the vast,

Open sky.

Let yourself fall.

Fall into softness.

Fall into the arms of nothingness.

Fall into the truth.

The truth that has always waited quietly within you.

You are not your name.

You are not the story you have carried.

You are not the thoughts.

That flicker like fireflies in the mind.

You are the space between the stars.

You are the silence between each heartbeat.

Let each breath now be a gentle unraveling.

Inhale.

Sensing the openness within.

Exhale.

Surrendering every label.

Every role.

Every expectation.

Let them drift away.

Like petals carried by a river.

You no longer need to swim against.

Allow the idea of self to loosen.

To drift.

To fade.

Beyond all definitions.

There is only spaciousness.

Breathe there.

Be there.

With each moment,

Feel yourself becoming lighter.

As if the earth itself is letting go of its hold on you.

And you are rising.

Rising.

Into pure being.

There is no effort in this rising.

It is not a reaching.

It is a returning.

Returning.

To the place.

You never truly left.

Feel how vast you are.

Feel.

How timeless.

Stretching beyond edges.

Blending into the quiet immensity of all things.

The clouds do not struggle to form.

The rivers do not force themselves to flow.

The stars do not try to shine.

And you,

Dear one,

Do not need to strive to be.

You already are.

Notice.

The gentle hum of existence.

The steady breath of life itself.

Flowing through you.

As you.

Without effort.

You were never the wave.

You were always the ocean.

You were never the cloud.

You were always the sky.

Now.

Sense your boundaries.

Desire.

Dissolving even further.

The edges of your body growing soft.

As if you were blending into the very fabric of the night.

Feel the breath moving through you.

As if the universe itself is breathing you.

Inhale spaciousness.

Exhale surrender.

There is no separation here.

There is only the vast.

Luminous.

Dance.

Of being.

Feel the soft rhythm of your existence.

A rhythm older than time.

Wider than thought.

More tender than any name you have ever worn.

You are not becoming anything new.

You are remembering what has always been.

Pure.

Vast.

Whole.

There is a peace here.

Deep and endless.

A peace that does not depend on understanding or achieving or fixing anything.

It simply is.

And so are you.

Rest now,

Dear traveler.

Let the final remnants of form drift away until only pure being remains.

No story.

No striving.

No separation.

Only spaciousness holding you like the cradle of the stars.

Breathing you.

Being you.

Loving you into endlessness.

You have arrived in this sacred space.

A place where breath and being become one.

There is nothing you must do now.

Nothing you must become.

Only breathe and allow the breath to reveal to you what has always been.

Feel the inhale as it rises within you.

Not as something separate but as the life force of the infinite itself.

The same breath that stirs the oceans moves through you.

The same breath that births stars moves through you.

Let the breath be slow.

Let it be deep.

Let it be easy.

There is no urgency here.

Only the soft eternal rhythm of existence unfolding through you.

Inhale and feel yourself expanding outward.

As wide and boundless as the open sky.

Exhale feel yourself sinking inward into the infinite depths of your being.

Each breath a wave rising floating falling merging.

With every inhale welcome the vastness of the cosmos into your heart.

With every exhale release the illusion that you are ever separate from it.

You are breathing the same breath as the trees the rivers as the distant galaxies beyond sight.

One breath one life one boundless being.

Let the breath grow even lighter now as if you are barely breathing as if the breath itself is breathing you.

Feel the boundaries of your body becoming soft as if you are dissolving into mist becoming the space between breaths becoming the quiet pulse of existence.

Inhale sensing the entire universe rising within you.

Exhale sensing the entire universe sighing within you there is no you and it there is only one vast aliveness moving sighing singing through this breath each inhale an embrace each exhale a surrender you are both the lover and the beloved the wave and the ocean the spark and the infinite flame breathe as the earth breathes breathe as the stars breathe breathe as the eternal breathes there is no past to return to there is no future to reach only this breath only this spaciousness endless now feel how the breath softens everything it touches the mind loosens the heart opens the body melts into peace you are lighter now more expansive less attached to form more attuned to essence inhale inhale and imagine yourself dissolving into the golden glow of the morning sky exhale and imagine yourself sinking into the deep stillness of the ancient earth you are both the rising and the falling you are both the journey and the home breathe in feel the universe creating itself anew through you breathe out feel yourself resting in the arms of forever if thoughts arise bless them like passing clouds and return to the breath gentle spacious infinite you are not your thoughts you are not your fears you are not your roles or your striving you are this breath this vastness this quiet miracle of unfolding feel how in this space nothing is missing nothing is broken nothing nothing needs fixing you are complete you are whole you are the breath of the infinite remembering itself through this moment stay here dear one floating breathing being let the breath weave you into the fabric of everything let it cradle you now like the ancient songs cradle the stars softly now feel yourself becoming more luminous more formless more free each breath a brush stroke painting your being across the canvas of eternity there is no ending to you there is no edge where you stop and life begins each breath a brush stroke painting your being across the canvas of eternity you are the breath and the space between the breaths you are the vast shimmering silence that holds it all rest in this knowing bask in this truth you are the breath of the infinite you are the infinite itself you have arrived at the threshold of deep stillness a place beyond doing beyond striving beyond the weight of yesterday here you are invited to soften everything take a slow effortless breath in and as you exhale imagine dissolving like mist into the vast open sky let yourself fall fall into softness fall into the arms of nothingness fall into the truth that has always waited quietly within you you are not your name you are not you are not the story you have carried you are not the thoughts that flicker like fireflies in the mind you are the light between the stars you are the silence between each heartbeat let each breath now be a gentle unraveling inhale sensing the openness within exhale surrendering every label exhale every role every expectation let them drift away like petals carried by a river you no longer need to swim against allow the idea of self to loosen to drift to fade beyond all definitions there is only spaciousness breathe there be there with each moment feel yourself becoming lighter as if the earth itself is letting go of its hold on you and you are rising rising into pure being there is no effort in this rising there is no time it is not a reaching it is a returning returning to the place you never truly left feel how vast you are how timeless stretching beyond edges blending into the quiet immensity of all things the clouds do not struggle to form the rivers do not force themselves to flow the stars do not try to shine and you,
