Good evening,
Dear traveller of dreams,
Tonight let us reflect on the profound words of Rumi.
There is a voice that doesn't use words,
Listen.
There is a voice that doesn't use words,
Listen.
There is a voice that doesn't use words,
Listen.
Let us allow this thought to plant its seed within us and be our guiding star as we navigate the passage to restful sleep.
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 profound and enlightening quote by Rumi.
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.
Let these words accompany your 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.
As you settle into a state of relaxed awareness,
Let your breath be your anchor,
A gentle reminder of the here and now.
In this space of tranquility,
Turn your inner ear to the profound wisdom of Rumi's words.
There is a voice that doesn't use words.
Listen.
Let these words resonate within you,
Their meaning unfolding like the petals of a night-blooming flower.
Rumi invites us into a realm of deep listening,
To a voice beyond words,
A voice that speaks in the silent language of the soul.
There is a voice that doesn't use words.
Picture yourself in a serene,
Sacred space,
Perhaps under a starlit sky or beside a gently flowing stream.
In this place,
The hustle and bustle of the world fade away,
Leaving only the heartbeat of the earth,
The whisper of the wind,
The rhythm of your breath.
This voice without words is all around you and within you.
It is the quiet hum of existence,
The soft murmur of life unfolding in and through you.
It speaks in the language of feelings,
Of intuition,
Of subtle inner stirrings that guide and inform.
As you breathe in deeply,
Invite yourself to become more attuned to this voice.
Let each breath draw you away from the chatter of the mind,
The constant stream of thoughts,
Judgments,
And analysis.
Instead,
Sink into the realm of pure being,
Where knowledge is felt,
Not formulated into words.
Listen.
This single word from Rumi is a powerful instruction.
To listen to the voice without words is to attune to the subtlest vibrations of your being.
It's to hear the wisdom of your heart,
The whispers of your deepest self,
The guidance of your spirit.
In this moment of stillness,
Let your listening expand.
Notice the sensations in your body,
The warmth,
The tingling,
The lightness or heaviness.
These are the wordless communications of your physical self,
Messages to be received and understood.
Listen too to your emotions,
The gentle ebb and flow of feelings that move through you.
They speak a language without syntax,
A poetry of the soul that reveals your innermost desires,
Fears,
Joys,
And sorrows.
As you continue to breathe,
To relax,
To listen,
Consider how often we overlook this voice,
Distracted by the noise of our hectic lives.
We chase after the explicit,
The articulated,
Ignoring the profound insights that silence offers.
Imagine,
In your mind's eye,
Turning down the volume of the world,
Turning off the incessant commentary of the mind,
And tuning into the deep,
Resonant frequency of the heart and soul.
In this frequency,
There is a wisdom that needs no words,
A knowing that transcends language.
As you drift closer to sleep,
Let this practice of listening deepen.
Allow the boundaries between yourself and the voice without words to blur.
Become one with this voice,
Understanding that it is an intrinsic part of who you are,
A guide that leads you to your truth.
In this sacred communion with a voice that doesn't use words,
Find comfort and guidance.
It is here,
In the stillness,
That you can hear the whispers of your true path.
Feel the pull of your destiny.
Understand the lessons life is teaching you.
This voice is a reminder that not all knowledge comes in words,
That true understanding often lies beyond the reach of language.
It invites you to experience life more fully,
More richly,
With a deeper sense of awareness and connection.
As you prepare to cross the bridge to sleep,
Carry this sense of deep listening within you.
Let it guide you through the landscapes of your dreams,
Revealing truths,
Unlocking mysteries,
Offering insights.
Sleep peacefully,
Knowing that,
In the silence of the night,
The voice without words continues to speak,
To sing,
To whisper its timeless wisdom.
Let it be your companion in the quiet hours,
A gentle guide through the world of dreams.
And when you awaken,
Remember this voice and its wordless wisdom.
Let it inform you in your days,
Guide your choices,
And lead you along a path of deeper understanding and connection.
Rest now in the embrace of night,
Comforted by the knowledge that there is a voice that doesn't use words,
And you have the power to listen to it tonight and every night.
Good night.
As the final notes of this love song to your soul gently fade,
Allow yourself to sink even deeper into the embrace of this serene and sacred night.
Your body is a landscape of tranquility,
And your mind a clear and starlit sky.
Each breath you take is a soft,
Whispered lullaby from the universe,
Affirming that you are safe,
Loved,
And beautiful.
Imagine now that with each exhale,
You are sinking further into the tender arms of sleep,
As if you are being cradled by the night itself,
Like a feather,
Light and free,
Drifting slowly,
Gently,
Effortlessly downward into the soft,
Welcoming depths of slumber.
With every breath,
Feel yourself becoming a part of the night's tapestry,
Woven with dreams and drenched in peace.
Here,
In this space,
You are adored beyond measure,
A cherished part of the universe,
Drifting into the deepest,
Most nourishing sleep.
As I leave you now in this blissful state,
Remember that this peace,
This love,
Is always here for you,
As a constant,
As stars above,
And as close as your own heart.
Good night,
Dear soul.
May your dreams be sweet,
And your rest complete.
Sleep with grace.
