Hello beautiful souls,
This is June B and welcome to a beautiful night's sleep.
Thanks for being here for another in the series Bedtime Tales with June B.
Join me as I go out onto a boat and sail out to sea to try to catch the sunset.
So let's get into your favorite sleeping position.
Make sure you're comfortable.
Close your eyes.
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.
So we are on this boat and heading out to see if we can catch the last rays of sun as we sail into the sunset.
The weather is picture perfect with the sun gradually setting and there is a nice breeze wrapping all over me while we are standing towards the sun as it goes down.
Can you feel the soft breeze on your cheeks?
I can smell the sea fresh and enticing.
With a slight bite to the freshness of it,
There is nothing to compare to eating al fresco.
There is something about being outdoors that makes the food taste different.
Have you ever tried it?
Maybe later I will take a dip in this beautiful ocean we are surrounded by and gently cool off some more.
We'll see.
The water is blue and so clear you can see right to the seabed and capture a glimpse of the beautiful sea life and coral below.
Can you see the clear blue water?
When I look to my side as the boat expertly cuts a path through the water,
I can see fish jumping up and down alongside the boat.
It is like they are saying,
Hey,
Look at me,
Can we come along for the ride too?
I see a sea turtle slowly navigating the bubbling and foamy wash from the movement of the gliding boat as we sail along.
It is large and graceful at the same time,
Dipping up and down as it goes about its day without a care in the world.
I wish to be like that always,
Going through my life without a care in the world,
Taking life gently and being at peace.
The boat is so efficient,
Forging ahead and making a path for us so smoothly.
So smoothly in fact that you could almost think you're on land,
Not sea.
It is moving like a hot knife through butter,
Smooth and without any resistance from the water below.
It is like the water is clearing a path for this boat to travel through.
Almost giving its permission and clearing the way for a seamless and comfortable trip on the high seas.
As I look ahead,
I can see so many colours in the sky.
First of all,
The sky looks like a painting,
Perfect in its imperfection.
I have never seen the blues so blue and the clouds so white and fluffy.
They look like candy floss and bring back so many great memories of being at the fun fair and having this light and sweet delight all over my mouth and fingers.
As I devoured this,
Melt in your mouth sweet treat.
Can you imagine getting your hands on a soft,
Fluffy and sweet cloud and having a bite?
Then we sail ahead towards the ever-changing sun.
Oh man,
The colours are almost indescribable.
The amount of shades and hues of yellow are amazing.
If you look at the colour spectrum,
There are over 150 different shades of yellow ranging from sunshine yellow.
Sunshine yellow is a bright medium shade of yellow named after the light from the sun.
Citrine is a golden yellow shade with an almost chemical-like hint of green.
White goldenrod,
Yellow bird,
Dark yellow,
Yellow tan,
Dijon,
Mellow yellow.
Yes there is actually a shade of yellow called mellow yellow,
Just like the song.
Fun fact,
Mellow yellow originally written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan.
Released on the 24th of October in 1996 and it got to number 2 on the American billboard.
Now for those of you that know this song,
You are really showing your age.
And the list of yellow colours goes on and on.
At one point or another in our journey,
All of these different shades of yellow get the opportunity to show off their magnitude and beauty for at least one minute as the sun slowly goes and changes to each shade and gently and almost magically melts down to its final resting place for the evening.
It is akin to a fashion show for yellows.
Everyone is getting to show off their individual delights and attributes to the whole world before another takes its place in the spotlight.
Can you imagine all the different shades of yellow with me?
As the boat gently hurtles towards the sunset,
It is half way in the sky now.
We know we could never actually reach the sunset.
It is a beautiful thought and an exciting illusion,
Although it is so wonderful to try to see the bursting of colour before the creamy white moon creeps up to light the star filled night sky.
As the sun goes down,
There is a coolness in the air now and as I wrap a blanket around my shoulders,
I feel comfortable and at peace.
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 and looking forward to seeing you again for another in the series of Bedtime Tales with June B.
Good night.
