Good evening,
Dear dreamer.
Tonight,
We reflect on the words of Rumi.
The garden of the world has no limits,
Except in your mind.
The garden of the world has no limits,
Except in your mind.
The garden of the world has no limits,
Except in your mind.
Let this thought 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 lie comfortably,
Nestled in the embrace of the night,
Let your breath become a gentle rhythm,
A soothing lullaby that carries you deeper into a space of reflection and serenity.
In this tranquil haven,
Contemplate the profound wisdom of Rumi's words.
The garden of the world has no limits,
Except in your mind.
Envision these words not just as a string of letters,
But as an invitation to an expansive garden,
Lush and boundless,
Waiting to be explored.
This garden symbolizes the world in all its infinite possibilities,
Its varied landscapes,
And its endless opportunities for growth,
Discovery,
And joy.
The garden of the world has no limits.
Imagine in this moment that you are standing at the edge of an immense,
Verdant garden.
Its horizon stretches far beyond your sight,
Rich with vibrant colors,
Alive with a symphony of nature.
This is the world,
Unbounded,
Limitless,
Offering itself to you in all its majesty.
Now,
Turn your gaze inward and ponder the phrase,
Except in your mind.
Reflect on how often our thoughts,
Beliefs,
And fears construct boundaries where none exist.
Like invisible walls,
They confine us,
Limiting our view of the garden,
Restricting our steps.
As you breathe in deeply,
Let each breath be an act of opening,
Of expanding your internal boundaries.
With each exhale,
Let go of a limiting belief,
A fear,
A doubt that has kept your garden small,
Contained.
Feel your mind opening like a flower to the sunlight,
Its petals unfolding,
Revealing the true vastness of your inner world.
Dhammi's words invite us to examine the self-imposed limits we place on our understanding of the world and ourselves.
He urges us to realize that the only constraints that truly exist are those we endorse in our minds.
Imagine your thoughts as seeds,
Each one holding the potential to grow into a beautiful plant in this limitless garden.
Some of these seeds have been watered by fear and have grown into weeds that choke your garden's true beauty.
Recognize these thoughts for what they are and gently uproot them,
Making space for more nurturing expansive ideas.
Consider now the seeds you choose to plant and nurture in your mind's garden.
Plant seeds of hope,
Love,
Courage,
And joy.
Water them with your attention and watch as they transform your internal landscape,
Breaking down the walls,
Extending the horizons,
Bringing the limitless garden of the world into your soul.
As you lie there,
Let your body relax even more deeply.
Each muscle releasing its hold,
Each thought becoming lighter,
More fluid.
With every breath,
Feel yourself wandering through this boundless garden,
Exploring its diversity,
Its beauty,
Its infinite possibilities.
The garden of the world has no limits.
Let this thought inspire a sense of wonder and possibility within you.
The world is a tapestry of experiences,
A spectrum of colors,
Sounds,
And sensations,
All waiting to be embraced and explored.
Let in your mind,
Acknowledge that the key to experiencing this limitless garden lies within you.
Your perceptions,
Your openness,
Your willingness to explore and embrace are the gateways to this endless expanse.
As you prepare to drift into sleep,
Carry this image with you.
The garden is vast and your mind holds the key to traversing it.
In sleep,
Your spirit can roam freely,
Unbound by the physical world's constraints,
Exploring the limitless garden of your dreams.
Embrace now with the knowledge that each night,
You have the opportunity to expand the boundaries of your garden,
To explore its depths,
To discover its hidden treasures.
In sleep,
Your mind can break free from the limits,
Roaming in the boundless landscapes of your subconscious.
Let the promise of this freedom guide you into a deep,
Restful sleep.
Envision yourself wandering through the garden,
Each step taking you further from the limits,
Deeper into the realm of infinite possibility.
As you cross this threshold in your mind,
Feel a profound sense of peace and expansion.
You are not confined,
You are free.
Free to dream,
To explore,
To experience the boundless nature of your being.
And as you embrace this freedom,
Know that when you awaken,
You carry with you the seeds of this limitless garden,
Seeds of awareness,
Of growth,
Of the courage to explore beyond the confines of your mind.
Sleep peacefully,
Cradled in the knowledge that the garden of the world is vast and your mind holds the power to explore every inch of it,
Tonight and every night,
Goodnight.
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.
