Hello beautiful souls,
This is June Bee and welcome to an amazing night's sleep.
Thanks for being here for another in the series Bedtime Tales with June Bee.
Join me as we go for a walk in nature and all the things we will discover on our journey to sleep.
So let's get into your favourite sleeping position.
Make sure you're comfortable.
Close your eyes.
Relax your muscles and slowly imagine yourself melting into the bed.
Now let's go to your breathing,
Slowing down the heart rate and let's take some nourishing breaths together.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Last time,
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Slowly imagine yourself melting into the bed.
Settle in now.
Listen to the sound of my voice.
If your mind wanders,
It's okay.
Bring it back to the sound of my voice.
Let go of everything that has happened today and let's relax together.
I've been hard at work today and it's time to take a break.
Oh my,
I'm feeling a little stiff from being at my desk for such a long time and now I'm heading out to the park to ground myself and get some long overdue fresh air.
Let's step out together.
So as I start walking in nature,
I realise so many things.
Why don't we explore those things together?
Firstly,
The green is especially deep and intense today.
This could be because I've been looking at a computer screen for such a long time,
As we all do,
Right?
So the amount of shades of green is indescribable.
The leaves are a beautiful shade of green.
The light shade of green on the underside of the leaves that are gently blowing in the breeze has matching veins running up the underside of each leaf in a lighter shade of green.
These shades of green are totally different from the green on each blade of grass,
Which is below my feet.
I take off my shoes and allow the grass to tickle in between my toes and it makes me feel so peaceful.
Then,
As I feel the soft breeze gently caressing my face,
I look up to the sky to see where it is coming from.
As I look up,
I catch a glimpse of some beautiful and majestic birds flying by in the formation of an arrow.
Looking up there,
The birds are flying past the sun and are partly in silhouette as they glide on by.
As I watch them fly away into the distance,
Something grabs my attention at eye level.
A noise in the distance.
As I walk along and investigate some more to see exactly where this noise is coming from,
I see a cute looking squirrel with a berry in his paws and looking at me as he takes a nibble on it.
Our eyes lock and he slightly tilts his head to one side and then,
Poof,
In a split second he is gone,
Running along a branch as he expertly moves out of my eyesight.
Funny thing is,
He didn't even drop the berry.
What an expert,
Right?
I walk some more,
Taking some deep and nourishing breaths as I go.
I observe many people as they enjoy the scene,
As do I.
People with kids in buggies,
Others walking to enjoy the sunshine.
Some taking their dogs for their daily exercise jaunts.
Some having impromptu picnics as the weather is so nice and so many others enjoying the day in the way that suits them.
There is a tiny river that runs alongside this nature trail and I can see some ducks bobbing along the ever moving water.
The sound of the water is so calming at this time,
Dancing and singing along in its own way.
It brings a lovely backdrop or I liken it to a natural soundtrack,
Playing to my feelings and guiding,
Encouraging or even whispering softly to me to fully enjoy this beautiful day.
After a while,
I take some time to sit on a bench and look all around.
Then I get a whiff of a beautiful perfume that is suddenly ever present around me in this moment.
As I look to see where this delightful scent is coming from,
I see that there are some flowers behind the bench I am sitting on.
As the breeze softly blows,
The flowers move in a kind of sway,
Left to right.
I give you a swaying to a favourite and very enjoyable song.
With each sway,
The flowers release this pungent and divine elixir into the air,
For the delight of everyone passing,
Not to mention the little insects all around.
The flowers that are emitting a fragrant ensemble of pure joy is also caught by the beautiful bumblebees that are feasting on the nectar all around,
And that is ever present.
The bees doing their thing for the pollination of more flowers and helping plants to grow and become even more healthy.
As I hear the bees buzzing in the background,
It makes me feel like life is simple and beautiful.
If we take the time to listen and look at our surroundings.
What an amazing day,
Filled with the sights,
Sounds and smells of nature.
Can you imagine the scene now?
As I get up to finish my time in nature today,
I feel refreshed and ready to get back to that desk again and get some work done.
I remember the saying,
A break is as good as a rest.
How true that is,
Right?
I'm not sure about you.
I'm getting sleepy even thinking about it.
So I'm ready to let go fully and surrender to sleep.
Thanks for joining me tonight.
And as you slowly drift away,
Have yourself a great night's sleep.
Looking forward to seeing you again for another in the series of bedtime tales with June B.
Good night.
