Hello beautiful souls.
This is JB and welcome to your sleep story,
Climb to the Mountain Top.
So let's get into your favourite sleeping position.
Make sure you're comfortable.
Close your eyes and slowly imagine yourself relaxing into the bed.
Now let's go to your breathing.
Slowing down the heart rate,
Let's take some nourishing breaths together.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Last time breathe in,
Breathe out.
Keep that rhythm going.
Today you're going to come with me on a walk to the top of the mountain.
We will take in the sights and sounds of this beautiful mountain.
Stopping along the way to observe the sights and beauty that surround us.
So let's go.
Here we are at the bottom of the mountain.
Looking up,
It looks like a long way up.
That's okay.
We've got plenty of time.
From here to the top of the mountain,
A river flows through the mountain.
So powerful,
It creates V-shaped valleys and deep gorges.
As the gushing water flows downhill,
The river slows down and moves into flatter,
Calmer areas of land.
It sounds so loud right now,
The momentum forcing the water down.
The rushing water with no stopping,
Ever moving,
Never stopping,
Like my thoughts sometimes.
The water looks so beautiful.
As we walk along the bottom of the mountain,
We can see a few trees,
But mostly bushes.
Small rocks,
Soil,
Pine needles,
Moss and grass.
The grass and mountain wildfires around you blow gently in the breeze.
The sweet smell tickles the tiny ears in your nose.
The smell is familiar to you,
Bringing you back to today's newer child.
Coming back to places like this with family.
Everyone setting up picnic baskets and oh what a beautiful spread.
So much food,
You were stuffed.
Cool refreshing lemonade with ice.
Oh what a treat.
And to top it off,
Little cupcakes with pink and yellow frosting.
But even though the food was always so good,
You were more interested in running around exploring the rocks and the moss.
Seeing if you could catch a small glimpse of any tiny birds that might be up in the trees.
Or maybe some crickets in the tall grass.
Or even making a daisy like chain with the pretty little flowers that grow at the base of the mountain.
A day like today was always such a happy place for you and you longed to come back here.
Here you always felt free.
Here you always felt loved and cared for.
You feel the sun warming your body as you're passing the big rocks.
Just enjoying the beautiful landscape around you.
While you start to head up the mountain.
You feel relaxed and alive.
Slowly walking up the mountain.
As you walk along getting higher and higher.
You stop for a moment and soak in the warmth of the gentle sun.
As the beautiful warm light falls on your face.
You just absorb all of the positive energy it brings.
All of the positive energy that's floating around.
To take a pause is such a beautiful thing.
You're in no hurry.
You have all the time in the world to gently get to the top of this mountain.
You keep walking,
Making your way up the mountain.
Something makes you pause and you look up.
A bird is passing by in the deep blue sky.
It looks almost as if it's still for a moment.
A moment frozen in time.
You look up at it and it looks down at you.
You wish you could fly alongside.
Flapping your wings in unison.
Gliding,
Soaring and just being taken away.
Being taken away with the soft cushion of the wind underneath your belly.
This powerful and strong bird is lifting your spirits as they float higher and higher.
You keep walking and you can't hear the river anymore.
The air has changed and it feels crisp and dry.
As you walk along,
The ground is turning to a reddish kind of dust.
Every step you take is like a little explosion of red dust.
You can hear your footsteps as you walk.
And it just crunches as you keep going higher and higher.
As you get to the top,
The air changes again.
Much thinner now.
Almost a smoke-like quality.
You take a well-deserved rest.
Leaning on a rock and just relaxing.
Then suddenly,
Coming from nowhere,
It starts to rain.
The heavens open and everything changes.
It is the most beautiful feeling you can imagine.
It was dusty and smoky only moments ago.
And now the rain has come and is washing all the dust away.
Far down the mountain.
The water is warm like a warm shower.
It just refreshes you and makes your skin tingle with delight.
You just stay there,
Leaning on the rock.
Enjoying this experience.
You feel a little tired now,
So you lie back.
You close your eyes.
And listen to the rainfall.
You close your eyes and listen to the rainfall.
The sound of the rain allows you to go deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation.
You feel the relaxation flow all over you.
Just like the rain flowing over you as you lie back onto the rocks.
This is a place where you allow your worries to be carried away by the falling rain.
And as the water runs down your face,
So does any stress and issue you have.
Just run away,
Far,
Far away,
Leaving you at peace.
This is a place where you can totally relax.
This is a safe and peaceful place.
It is a place you can visit as often as you like.
Now you feel lighter than air.
Almost as if you are floating.
Immersed in the sights,
The sounds and the smells of the mountain and the rain constantly flowing.
You lay back and start to float.
High into the sky.
Oh,
You see the bird and start to follow.
Floating higher and higher among the clouds.
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
