Have you ever wished you were as light as a feather and able to fly wherever you wished to go?
Well tonight your wish will come true because you will be visited by a very special sleep friend.
A sleepy and lovely creature who will help you to fall asleep fast into your most amazing happiest dreams.
Now close your eyes and really snuggle under the covers in your bed,
Making yourself so comfortable and ready,
Because very soon you will be beginning your wonderful journey with your new friend.
And for this special and friendly creature to soon arrive and visit,
You must be in a very relaxed mood and become very still.
It might also help to take in a deep breath and let go with a long calm breath out.
Now you can feel your body relaxing so happily.
Because you become all dreamy now.
Because you don't even need to try being still anymore.
You can just stop trying altogether.
Because your body is right now already becoming so perfectly comfortable.
Now imagine a sleepy butterfly fluttering into your room.
And you imagine and see this butterfly is a very gentle,
Very kind and very loving friend.
And you can picture your new friend arriving.
As she is surrounded by a glowing ball of beautiful,
Shining,
Magical light.
You can see this butterfly very clearly with your mind's eye.
And inside your amazing imagination.
The butterfly's wings are so delicate.
And they seem to flap back and forth in a dreamy pattern.
That is so calming to imagine.
Now what lovely colours and what patterns do you see on your butterfly friend's moving wings.
As the butterfly hovers just above your head.
She smiles down at you.
Sending you a calm and relaxing,
Sleepy butterfly blessing.
You instantly feel so safe.
And so very peaceful.
As you realise and feel,
You have a tiny smile on your face right now.
It's as though this divine creature is sending joy straight from her beautiful little face.
Right into your smiling heart.
And this sleepy butterfly now tells you her name is Bella.
And together you and Bella will be going on an enchanted dream adventure.
As you both fall deeper and deeper into a beautiful,
Calm sleep.
Now the fun can really begin.
And you couldn't be more curious to find out where this sleepy adventure goes.
Bella sends you some super special glowing enchantment from her little ball of wonderful light.
And to your amazement,
A safe and shining ball of light now surrounds your whole body.
And you imagine yourself now floating up and up into the air.
This is incredible.
And very soon,
You shrink down to be the size of a butterfly.
As you imagine growing an amazing pair of beautiful wings.
You feel yourself flapping your soft wings about.
And it feels so sleepy and relaxing.
As you admire their brilliant range of colours.
As broad as your favourite colours in a rainbow.
Wow.
Now together with Bella the butterfly,
You flit through the room and out through a tiny gap in the window.
And now you are flying through the moonlight.
In the garden outside.
This feeling so safe and so calm.
And perhaps even now,
You are already deeply asleep.
And all of this is a lovely relaxing,
Comforting dream.
As you imagined you covering the grass,
It makes the green grass sparkle with vitality.
And you see the plants look so much bigger and even more amazing close up.
When you are the size of a butterfly.
And with Bella,
You flit and fly.
And feel yourself soaring through the night sky.
You twist and turn and twirl.
Because you love floating along in the light and gentle breeze.
You are so light and weightless.
And you feel so free.
Your spirit is soaring.
As you rush through the starlight and the softest moonshine of the fresh night air.
Now you fly up to the top of the tallest tree in your garden.
And maybe you have always wanted to climb right to the very top of these highest branches.
And so now is your chance.
And so you really rest and relax here.
As you see around you some of Bella's beautiful caterpillar friends are starting to cocoon themselves.
So you smile and wave to them.
As they smile to you back with such kindness on their faces.
Sitting here in the tallest tree.
You gaze out over your street below you.
From up here you can look down at all the houses and apartments and homes of the many families in your suburb.
And you see now,
One by one,
All of the homes switch off their lights as everyone around you now goes to sleep.
As you sleep too,
You just continue to relax and to sleep.
Because you feel so very powerful and so important in your sleep adventures.
It feels so wonderful being a sleepy butterfly.
Because your heart is so free.
And every time you fall fast asleep,
You know the whole earth is your amazing playground.
To imagine as you rest and dream and sleep so well.
And now,
Your new friend Bella,
The sleepiest of all butterflies,
Tells you she can be with you on your dream journeys.
To really imagine and go to anywhere at all.
Anywhere within your heart's desires.
Now you can fly to anywhere you choose.
Just relaxing away and resting completely.
As you sleep and sleep deeply.
Feeling so safe and happy with your ball of soft moonshine guiding your way.
So just continue to sleep now.
As my voice will disappear.
And you have a cosy and calm,
Perfect night's sleep.
