Good evening,
My name is Karen Voss,
And this is your sleep story meditation.
One that has been written for especially those who sometimes have bad dreams.
This meditation will help you fall asleep,
Get comfortable in the space you're in,
Feel yourself supported by your bed.
If you can,
Start to take deeper breaths,
Each one going deeper and deeper,
Feeling your tummy rise and fall.
Your tummy rise and fall.
Once upon a time,
There was a young boy named Hiro.
Hiro was a brave and skilled samurai,
But he had a problem.
He often had bad dreams that kept him awake at night.
One night,
As he lay in bed,
He decided to try something different.
He closed his eyes and began to imagine a magical forest where he could be the hero of his own adventure.
In his dream,
Hiro found himself in a forest surrounded by towering mountains.
He could hear the gentle rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds in the distance.
As he looked around,
He noticed a giant ancient tree in the middle of the forest.
The tree seemed to glow with a soft,
Warm light that made Hiro feel safe and protected.
Hiro had his trusty katana and hatchet with him,
And he knew he had to survive in the forest.
He started to walk down the hill towards the forest,
Taking deep breaths to calm his mind.
As he walked,
He noticed that the forest was filled with all sorts of creatures,
Squirrels,
Rabbits,
And even a few deer.
As he continued on his journey,
Hiro heard a noise in the distance.
It was the sound of a pack of wolves howling in the night.
He could feel his heart racing and his hands shaking,
But he remembered that he was a samurai,
And he had to be brave.
Hiro raised his katana and hatchet,
Ready to face whatever was ahead.
The wolves emerged from the trees,
Snarling and baring their teeth.
Hiro stood his ground and faced them with courage and determination.
But then something strange happened.
The giant ancient tree in the center of the forest began to glow even brighter.
A magical force emanated from it,
And Hiro could feel it filling him with strength and courage.
Suddenly,
The wolves retreated,
Cowering in fear.
Hiro knew that he had been protected by the magic of the ancient tree.
He thanked the tree and continued on his journey through the forest,
Feeling safer and braver than ever before.
As he walked,
He saw a clearing up ahead.
In the center of the clearing was a small pond,
Surrounded by flowers and trees.
Hiro decided to rest there for a while,
Feeling grateful for the peace and tranquility of the forest.
He closed his eyes and breathed deeply,
Feeling his heart rate slow down and his mind become calm.
He knew that he could face anything as long as he had the magic of the ancient tree with him.
And so Hiro drifted off to sleep,
Feeling safe and protected in the magical forest.
The bad dreams that had once haunted him were replaced by visions of bravery,
Strength,
And courage.
He knew that he could face anything that came his way with the help of the magical samurai and the ancient tree.
The next day,
Hiro continued his journey through the forest,
Feeling braver and more confident than ever before.
The magical glow of the ancient tree stayed with him,
Filling him with a sense of peace and protection.
As he walked,
He encountered many more challenges and obstacles,
But he faced them with courage and determination.
At one point,
He stumbled upon a group of bandits who were causing trouble in the forest.
They were stealing from innocent travelers and causing chaos wherever they went.
Hiro knew that he had to stop them,
And so he drew his katana and hatchet,
Ready to face the bandits head on.
The battle was fierce,
But with the help of the magic of the ancient tree,
Hiro was able to defeat the bandits and restore peace to the forest.
He felt a sense of satisfaction and pride as he continued on his journey,
Knowing that he had made a difference in the world.
As the night wore on,
Hiro grew tired and decided to find a place to rest.
He came upon a cozy little cave tucked away in the side of a mountain.
He made a small fire and settled in for the night,
Feeling safe and protected.
As he lay there,
He began to feel his body growing heavy and relaxed.
He breathed deeply,
Feeling his mind and body calming down.
He closed his eyes and began to count down from ten.
Ten,
He whispered to himself.
Relax your toes and let them sink into the ground.
Nine,
He continued.
Relax your feet and let them sink into the ground.
Eight,
Relax your legs and let them sink into the ground.
Seven,
Relax your arms and let them sink into the ground.
Six,
Relax your back and let it sink into the ground.
Five,
Relax your chest and let it sink into the ground.
Four,
Relax your neck and let it sink and be supported by the ground.
Three,
Relax your jaw and let it be supported by the ground.
Two,
Relax your forehead and let it sink into the ground.
One,
Relax your entire body and let it sink into the ground.
Hiro felt his body becoming completely relaxed and still.
His mind was calm and peaceful,
Free from any worries or anxieties.
He knew that he was safe and protected in the magical forest,
Surrounded by the warmth and light of the ancient tree.
And so,
Hiro drifted off to sleep,
Feeling completely at peace and at ease.
His dreams were filled with images of bravery,
Strength and courage.
He knew that he would wake up feeling refreshed and renewed in the morning.
He was grateful for the magic of the ancient tree,
And he knew that he would carry its power with him always.
Sweet dreams.
Good night.
