As you settle into a most comfortable,
Cosy position and gently close your eyes,
Can you imagine a very special place?
A most fun tropical jungle where all of the animals live happily in harmony.
Because I can let you in on a little known fact,
There is such a place.
A mindful jungle hidden deep in the calming valley between the peaceful mountains where the animals gather together and meditate before falling deeply asleep into their most amazing dreams.
And after they fall asleep so fast and are snoozing so well,
These friendly animals always wake up feeling so refreshed before having the most fun and delightful days with their focused positive minds.
Because all of your favourite animals just love to do their mindful sleep meditation and as they gather together under the trees,
They are inviting you to join them right now.
And it feels very enchanted because the sun has already set,
The stars have come out to play in the night sky,
And everyone is feeling very snoozy and ready for a cosy,
Soothing sleep.
And because you feel so lucky to be invited,
You may now imagine being here with them right now.
As you rest on an extra soft tuft of green grass.
And so firstly,
The fluffy lion begins by taking three deep breaths in and out.
Because lions can only do their mighty roars with very good deep breathing.
And so together you breathe in and out,
So deeply.
Just like the gentle breeze of the jungle trees.
Marvellous,
That's great.
Except you notice the lion is so tired,
His breaths become big yawns.
And so you all can't help but do a mighty lion yawn too.
And next,
The roly poly elephant relaxes its heavy body from its elephant ears down to its trunk and jaw.
And all the way down to its round elephant feet.
And so together you relax your whole body too.
Feeling all heavy and sleepy,
Like your elephant friend.
And now the elephant yawns.
An even bigger yawn and you all yawn too.
This may just be the yawniest yawn you ever did yawn.
And now the cutest monkey calms its monkey mind.
And so just like the adorable monkey,
You observe your thoughts before letting them float away like the clouds in the night sky.
And monkey snuggles into a cosy position,
Feeling sleepier and sleepier.
And so very relaxed and does a little monkey yawn,
Ready to dream away of the funniest things.
And so together,
Just like your monkey friend,
You relax your body even more.
Ready to dream away of the most wonderful things you can imagine.
And you may notice the gentle giraffe practices patience so very well,
Listening high up to the sounds of the leaves rustling in the tree tops.
And the noises in the distance too.
And so together you tune in with your ears,
Noticing the sounds of the leaves rustling in the tree tops.
And so together you tune in with your ears,
Noticing the many different sounds,
Both near and far,
Far away.
And you can hear the sound of your breathing,
Because perhaps you are already asleep.
And because the cuddly bear notices its feelings,
Deep inside,
With all of its bare heart,
All of its many feelings are welcome here.
And so together you notice your feelings,
Deep inside,
With all of its bare heart,
And so together you notice your feelings inside too.
As you breathe deeply,
And just observe them in your heart.
And because the bear feels all warm and fuzzy inside,
So do you.
As you feel so special to be here with your animal friends,
Who are all so very friendly,
Kind-hearted and snoozy.
And next,
The furry fox stops striving with its foxy ways and wisely looks out at the sky,
And realizes that it is enough exactly as it is.
And so together you feel this wisdom inside you,
That you are enough and perfect exactly as you are.
And you let go into sleep.
As your thinking mind switches off and you are almost dreaming away with delight.
And now the soothing squirrel starts to move.
And now the soothing squirrel stops squirreling about and becomes very still.
And you notice squirrel's breathing is slower.
Because squirrel is calm,
Trusting that there is plenty of everything for everyone.
And so you relax even more and feel this sense of trust,
That there really are no limits and there is so much abundance for us all.
And you become still because you are so comfortable here in your perfect sleeping position on your soft fluffy grass for the night.
And here under the trees,
The happiest hedgehog understands that we are all different and that is okay and it is wonderful.
The hedgehog relaxes its spines to be so friendly and kind.
No longer judging itself or judging the animals in the jungle and accepting them for who they are.
You send loving kindness to yourself and to others.
Feeling so nice and soft as you melt into a deep sleep.
And finally,
After sleeping,
You relax and relax.
And finally,
After sleeping and snoozing and dreaming all through the night.
Tomorrow morning you will wake up,
Just like the radiant rabbit,
Seeing the world with fresh eyes because tomorrow is a new day.
And just like the rabbit,
You will feel ready to hop about freely,
Feeling so calm,
Confident and happy inside.
But now,
With the moon high in the sky above this sleeping,
Mindful jungle,
You know that you are so safe and so loved here.
You know that you are so safe and so loved here amongst your animal friends.
And perhaps you are drifting deeper and deeper now into your lovely dreams.
Because you are loving this beautiful deep sleep here in the calming valley between the peaceful mountains.
And every part of you is now enjoying your deepest,
Loveliest sleep.
Because it feels brilliant,
To be the wonderful human being which you are as you snooze and sleep to your heart's content.
All through the night,
Sweet,
Snoozy jungle,
Dreams.
