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.

Slowly,

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.

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.

Rumi'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.

Accept 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.

Rest 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.

Weightless,

Floating beyond the edges of thought,

Beyond the contours of form,

Suspended in a vast ocean of stillness.

Each breath dissolves into the next,

Like waves merging into the sea.

No separation,

No distinction,

Only the rhythm of infinity.

You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire ocean in a drop.

You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire ocean in a drop.

You are the hush between heartbeats,

The whisper between stars,

A luminous spark cradled in the infinite.

There is nothing to do,

Nothing to hold onto.

You are the vast sky,

Open,

Endless,

Free.

Drifting deeper into the quiet pulse of existence,

A slow rhythmic tide pulling you into the heart of the universe.

Feel yourself dissolving,

Merging,

Like a river returning to the sea,

Like stardust settling into the night.

You are the breath of the cosmos,

Moving without effort,

The stillness between the stars,

The space between dreams,

The space between dreams.

You are the space between dreams.

You are the space between dreams.

There is no past,

No future,

Only this moment,

Expansive and whole.

You are the space between dreams.

The eternal stillness,

Everything yet nothing.

You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire ocean within a drop.

You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire ocean within a drop.

Drifting into sleep,

You are the space within dreams,

A whisper of the cosmos.

Surrender,

Release,

Drift,

The universe breathes with you,

Cradling you in this quiet embrace.

Holding you in the palm of infinity.

Drifting into sleep,

Feel yourself dissolving into sleep.

Melting into pure being.

Melting into pure spaciousness.

Timeless.

A single note in the symphony of existence.

You are home.

You are home.

Drifting beyond thought,

Beyond time.

Suspended in an endless expanse of stillness.

There is no effort,

Only surrender.

A gentle wave carrying you deeper into the vast unknown.

You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire ocean in a drop.

Floating.

Suspended in the moonlight.

You are the space between dreams.

Drifting through an endless sky of silence.

Only spaciousness.

A deep,

Infinite openness.

A deep,

Infinite openness.

The stars shimmer around you.

Each one a memory of something ancient and beautiful.

You are not separate from this vastness.

You are not within it.

You are it.

You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

The pulse of the universe.

Slow,

Steady,

Like the rhythm of the breath.

With each exhale,

You drift deeper into sleep.

Drifting into sleep.

With each inhale,

You drift deeper into sleep.

Presence.

Peace.

Endless.

You are the night sky.

Endless.

Boundless.

You drift deeper into sleep.

You are the space between dreams.

The breath of the cosmos moves through you.

You are cradled in stillness.

You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire ocean in a drop.

Drift deeper into sleep.
