Welcome,

Dear traveler.

As you prepare to embark on tonight's journey,

A voyage into tranquil realms and boundless possibilities,

Let's take a moment to settle in and prepare for the adventure ahead.

Allow this time to be your bridge between the waking world and the serene landscapes of your imagination.

Find a comfortable position in your bed or chair.

Let the surface beneath you fully support your body.

Feel the softness cradling you,

Inviting you to let go and simply be here in this moment.

Now close your eyes,

If you haven't already,

And turn your attention inward.

Imagine a soft,

Radiant light glowing gently at your heart's center.

This light feels warm,

Soothing and peaceful.

As it begins to expand,

Allow it to flow through you,

Carrying relaxation to every corner of your being.

Feel the light rising to your shoulders and flowing down your arms,

Gently releasing any tension you've been holding.

It moves up your neck,

Your jaw and your face,

Softening and easing every muscle.

Now your brow becomes smooth,

Your eyelids heavy and your expression serene.

Now,

Let the light cascade downward through your chest and back,

Flowing effortlessly with each breath you take.

It reaches your stomach,

Your hips and your thighs,

Inviting every part of you to relax deeper with each passing moment.

The light travels further,

Down to your knees,

Your calves and finally your feet.

From the top of your head to the tips of your toes,

You are now bathed in this warm,

Calming glow.

Now,

Your body feels lighter as if you're floating,

Yet deeply grounded in this peaceful space.

With your body at ease,

Let's turn our focus to your breath.

Inhale deeply,

Drawing in the crisp,

Refreshing air of a starlit night.

Hold it gently and then exhale slowly,

Releasing the remnants of the day,

Any tension,

Any lingering thoughts,

Letting it all drift away.

Inhale calm and clarity,

Exhale and let go.

As you continue this steady rhythm of breathing,

Imagine yourself standing at the threshold of a journey,

Before you stretches a path,

Illuminated by soft moonlight or glistening stars.

This path feels safe and inviting,

Leading you toward a realm of wonder and discovery.

Picture your surroundings now,

A tranquil forest,

Its trees swaying gently in a midnight breeze,

An expansive shoreline where waves whisper secrets to the sound,

Or a glowing celestial bridge suspended amidst the stars.

This is your starting point,

Your sacred gateway to tonight's journey.

Feel the anticipation building,

Like the quiet hum of an adventure waiting to unfold.

You are the traveler,

The explorer,

The dreamer ready to step into the unknown with curiosity and trust.

For now,

Simply savor this moment,

This peaceful pause before the journey begins.

Let yourself sink fully into the comfort of your sanctuary,

Knowing that whatever lies ahead will gently guide you toward rest,

Insight and serenity.

When you're ready,

Let your breath lead you,

Bridging the gap between this calm stillness and the unfolding journey.

Now,

Dear traveler,

With your body at rest and your mind open,

Let us begin our journey.

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.

Now,

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.

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.

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.

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.
