Good evening,
Dear traveler of dreams.
Tonight we reflect on the words of Rumi.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Let this thought be our guiding star as we navigate the passage to a 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 the comforting embrace of the night,
Allow your breath to become a gentle rhythm,
A soothing lullaby that carries you into a realm of contemplation and tranquility.
In this space of serenity,
Reflect on the illuminating words of Rumi.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Let these words resonate within you,
Echoing through the halls of your consciousness.
Rumi is not just speaking,
He is inviting us to a deeper realization,
A call to align our actions with the beauty of our passions and loves.
Let the beauty of what you love.
Imagine this beauty as a radiant light,
Emanating from the things,
People,
And activities you hold dear.
It's the light of joy,
Fulfillment,
And true contentment,
Glowing from the core of what moves and inspires you.
This beauty is unique to each individual.
It's your personal tapestry of loves and passions,
Woven from your experiences,
Dreams,
And soulful inclinations.
As you inhale,
Envision drawing this beauty into your being.
With each exhale,
Release any dissonance or discordance from your life.
Feel your every action,
Thought,
And intention becoming more imbued with the essence of what you truly love.
Be what you do.
This statement is a guiding principle,
A way of life.
It's about making choices that reflect your deepest values and desires.
It's about spending your time and energy on things that not only bring joy to you,
But also contribute to the beauty of the world.
Next,
Consider how differently your daily life would feel if it were aligned with this principle.
When your work,
Your hobbies,
Your interactions are all expressions of the beauty you love,
There's a harmony that resonates in your life.
You're not just going through the motions.
You're actively creating a life that mirrors the splendor of your inner world.
As you lie here,
Allow your body to relax even more deeply,
Each muscle releasing its hold,
Each thought becoming lighter,
More fluid.
With every breath,
Feel yourself becoming more aligned with Rumi's wisdom,
Immersing yourself in the beauty of your loves,
Expressing it in all you do.
Next,
Reflect on moments when you have lived this truth.
Maybe it was a project that you poured your heart into,
A relationship that reflects your deepest values,
Or a hobby that brings you immense joy.
Remember the fulfillment and satisfaction that came from these experiences,
The sense of purpose and joy.
Rumi's words are a reminder to seek out and create more of these moments,
To make our lives a living expression of the beauty we cherish.
They encourage us to listen to our hearts,
To follow our bliss,
And to find ways to manifest our love in our daily activities.
Imagine what your life would look like if you consistently applied this principle.
Envision waking up each day with a sense of anticipation,
Knowing that you will be spending your time and energy on things that deeply resonate with your spirit.
As you prepare to drift into sleep,
Let this vision weave through your dreams.
Dream of a life where your actions are in perfect harmony with your passions,
Where the beauty of what you love is what you do.
In your dreams,
Experience the fulfillment and joy of this alignment,
The bliss of living true to your heart's desires.
Rest peacefully,
Knowing that each day offers a new opportunity to align your actions with the beauty of your loves.
Each morning brings a chance to make choices that resonate with your deepest self,
To infuse your life with the joy and beauty of your true passions.
And when you awaken,
Bring this sense of alignment and purpose into your day.
Approach your activities with the intention of reflecting the beauty of what you love in all that you do.
Sleep now,
Cradled by the night,
Comforted by the knowledge that a life aligned with the beauty of your loves is not only possible,
But within reach.
The universe echoes Rumi's invitation,
Encouraging you to live in harmony with your deepest passions,
To let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Good night.
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 good night.
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 together,
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,
Where 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.
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.
