Transcript
It is going to be a really nice sleep tonight.
Before you fall asleep,
I will take you to the most beautiful beach you've ever seen.
This place will relax you and calm you to your very soul.
Just take a nice big deep breath,
Getting into a very comfortable position.
Rest your head upon your soft pillow and take another deep breath.
Breathing into the bed,
Loosening all muscles.
Breathing deeply,
Letting your legs relax and sink into the bed.
Breathing fully,
Letting your torso melt into the mattress.
Breathing,
Completely letting go of the muscles in your neck and shoulders.
Letting your head be cradled by the pillow.
Take one last deep relaxing breath.
And as you exhale,
Let your eyes gently close.
Good.
Breathe in again,
Slowly.
Release the air with a whooshing sound,
Like a wave crashing on the sand.
Become more and more relaxed with each breath.
Feel your body giving up all tension,
Becoming fully relaxed.
Enjoying every moment of this calm and peaceful breathing.
There is a gentle wave of relaxation flowing through your body.
Down and up,
Up and down,
Just like the waves of the great ocean.
Breathe in slowly and deeply again,
Releasing the air with a whooshing sound.
And as you do,
Bring into your mind the thought of a white sand beach.
The sand is warm and as soft as velvet under your feet.
The waves of the turquoise ocean in front of you is making that gentle whooshing sound,
Just like your breath.
This beach is surrounded by tropical forest.
You can hear the song of beautiful birds being carried through the air.
You notice the leaves on the palm trees are moving in the wind,
Making a soothing rustling sound.
You can hear crickets and tropical frogs enjoying their life in the rainforest.
Notice the different greens of the nature.
The beauty in the way that each leaf reflects the sunlight.
You can feel the gentle warmth of the sun on your skin,
Relaxing you.
This place is the definition of tranquility.
The ocean water is shallow for a distance.
Then far out along the horizon,
You can see the water gets deeper and is therefore a deep sapphire blue.
There are white fluffy clouds in the sky that resemble the blossom of cotton in its raw form,
Drifting by slowly in the sky.
The sun's rays alternate between warming your skin and being hidden behind the passing clouds.
The beach sand turns into giant rocks to your left that soar into tall caves along the water's edge.
As you walk towards these caves,
You feel the sand moving under each footstep.
You gaze behind you and see a long strand of your footprints trailing behind you.
The rock formations get more massive as you draw closer.
As you near the cave,
You find yourself under the shadow of its cliff and the air becomes cool from the shade.
There is a large opening in the rocks.
It is a welcoming entrance.
As you go inside the cave,
You can hear the sounds of the ocean waves become amplified as they bounce off the rock walls.
This cave is magnificent.
You can hear the sounds of trickling water,
So you follow it to find its source.
Along the interior wall of the cave,
Fresh water is springing from the rocks,
Making the most relaxing sound of moving water you've ever heard.
This water seems to glow,
Although there is no sunlight reflecting in the cave.
It shimmers with light before your eyes.
You cup your hands together and gather some of this water.
Bringing it to your lips for a drink,
It is the most pure and refreshing water you have ever tasted.
It nourishes and replenishes you,
Hydrating every part of your being with its beauty.
The tropical birds know of this water source and make their way,
Flying into the cave,
Chirping their beautiful song.
There are all different types of birds,
Large and small.
They land on the floor of the cave and drink the fresh water that is collected in various puddles.
Bringing their beaks down,
Scooping the water,
Then raising their heads high to allow the water to trickle down their throats.
They are not afraid of you,
It is almost as if you are part of their flock.
These magnificent birds are so close,
You can clearly see the beautiful rainbow of colors that make up their feathers,
Bright reds,
Yellows,
Greens,
And turquoise blues that match the water of the ocean.
Their eyes are surrounded by crisp white skin and they look directly at you with kindness and curiosity.
After getting their fill of hydrating water,
They fly out of the cave and back into the rainforest.
You take a moment to sit down in this cave.
There is the perfect shape rock protruding from the ground that almost resembles a bench.
Have a seat and close your eyes for a moment,
Tuning in to the sounds around you.
The waves,
The distant birds,
The trickling fresh water,
The breeze,
Each sound soothes you to your very soul.
Take a deep breath in and hear the sound of the air going in and out of your lungs.
You can smell the clean salt water.
Open your eyes and see the cave towering above you,
What a beautiful spot.
You are ready to go back out and explore the beach because it's gotten a little cool for you here in the cave.
As you make your way out of the cave,
The cool rock under your feet turns back into sand.
You pass into the sunlight and feel the sun rays begin to nourish your skin.
The water is so clear.
The sand becomes firmer under your feet because it's saturated with seawater.
A wave comes closer and catches your feet.
At first the water seems cool,
But it's actually the perfect temperature.
The waves rush up to your ankles and your feet are being buried in the sand as your weight presses down into the earth.
The clouds are passing by ever so slowly.
You are beginning to feel tired from taking in all the beauty around you.
And just so happens that a plush beach recliner is positioned facing the water with a large white umbrella providing the perfect amount of shade.
Have a seat and position yourself on the chair so that all of your muscles can let go.
You are fully ready to take a long nap in this paradise.
Inhale deeply the sweetness of the air.
Exhale into complete tranquility.
Feel the nature behind you,
The ocean in front of you,
And the breeze all around you.
You can see the cave you were exploring earlier in the distance and can remember the crisp taste of the fresh spring water.
You can feel the cushioned beach chair supporting you.
Every part of your body and mind are at peace and deeply relaxed.
Pacing out upon the big blue,
You notice the horizon and how it is the only perfectly straight line in the landscape.
You enjoy looking at how the ocean meets the sky.
Allow your body sink down,
Melting any last bit of tension away,
Allowing the breath to lull you into a deep sleep,
Slowing down more and more.
You can hear the sounds of the waves gently crashing on the sand,
In and out,
As the waves come and go,
Just like your breath.
Allow your eyes to gently close as you rest on your beach chair.
You sleep deeply and soundly,
Fully rejuvenating as the hours pass by.
Sleeping this well comes easily to you.
You let everything go so that you can get the restful sleep you deserve,
Letting each breath relax you even more,
Taking you into a deep,
Deep sleep.
Good.
Allow your mind to drift and wander to wherever it takes you,
Into the dream world,
Where there are endless possibilities for you to learn and grow.
My voice fades into the distance now as you drift off to sleep.
Good night.
