Transcript

Good evening,

I'm so glad you've arrived here.

If you yearn to fall back asleep fast,

You've come to the right place.

Everything from here on out will come with ease,

Coziness,

And a heartwarming journey.

You are listening to Fall Back to Sleep,

Cozy autumn night.

There's nothing like the sense of a crisp fall evening and a warm cozy escape to conjure heady waves of sleepiness and lead you to profoundly deep slumber.

This soothing journey will help you mend broken sleep patterns and alleviate any stress you may feel upon awakening too soon.

The more you listen,

The easier it will become to reset your sleep cycle so it serves you best.

All against the idyllic backdrop of fall,

It's time to dream away.

Welcome to Michelle's Meditation Sanctuary.

I am Michelle.

Let me be the voice in the middle of the night that serves as a nurturing guide and your peaceful ally back to sleep.

My intention is to create the coziest moments,

Gently redirecting your mind away from any thoughts stirring in the night and keeping you up.

May you feel as safe and comfortable as you can in the sanctuary of your space and your mind.

I will offer a few gentle and mindful suggestions as you settle back into sleep.

Feel free to tune into these suggestions or let them gently fade away.

Whatever feels natural for you is perfect.

There's no need to overthink this.

You may welcome sleep whenever it arrives.

In the words of an unknown author,

Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.

Breath by breath,

You may let go of words.

The words in your mind that may convey frustration for being awake too soon.

The words that will lead you on an odyssey of sleep once more.

Even as my words soften the night,

You may focus on the gentle pauses between them.

In the silent spaces where sleep drifts in,

You have ample time to get all the rest you need.

As you return to sleep,

Your wonderful body will naturally make up for any lost time.

All you need to do now is signal your body to soften,

Surrender,

And drift deeper and deeper down.

Release any pressure you might be feeling.

You deserve only kindness and nurturing right now.

Gently slow down any mental activity that has started prematurely.

If your body needs a little adjustment,

Perhaps shifting your position,

Fluffing your pillows,

Or wrapping your arms around yourself in a comforting hug.

Do whatever feels most supportive.

Imagine for a moment that your mind is a vast,

Calm autumn forest floor.

The thoughts that have woken you up.

The lingering to-do's.

The worries of the night.

They are like crisp,

Dry leaves scattered across the jewel-toned carpet of the rich earth.

Now,

Gently bring your awareness to those leaves.

There is no need to fight them or wish them away.

Simply observe them with a soft,

Gentle breath.

Imagine a cool autumn breeze,

Blowing slowly through the fiery maples,

The white birch trees,

And the mighty oaks.

Watch as the breeze gently lifts each leaf,

Helping it turn and spin in the air.

See it slip on the breeze,

Disappearing into the darkness of the night.

Its purpose served,

And now it may surrender.

Notice the deep,

Rich soil beneath your feet.

The feelings of comfort,

Peace,

And serenity.

They are the grounded earth,

Now visible in your calm,

Mental space.

Let the peaceful energy of the earth fill your inner world,

Becoming clearer and more vibrant.

Let the stillness of rest swell within you.

Everything can wait.

Now is your special time for restoration.

Comfort yourself with the same tenderness and love you would offer someone dear to you.

The safer and more relaxed you become,

The more power your imagination has to conjure dreamy,

Sleep-inducing images.

Focus on your breath as you release everything with a sigh.

Clearing the air.

As you inhale,

You draw in the cool,

Crisp essence of the autumn night.

Envision the soft,

Diffused light of the moonlit leaves outside,

And the deep,

Soothing shades of fall.

Exhale in a sigh,

Breathing out anything that doesn't serve this deep state of rest.

Now,

Let's take another healing breath together.

Inhale deeply,

And sense the earthy aroma of sweet,

Decaying fallen leaves.

A calming natural fragrance that reminds you of the season.

The sense of smell is powerful,

And helps transport you to your peaceful haven.

Exhale slowly,

Releasing any tightness in your shoulders,

Any clenching in your jaw,

Any holding in your belly.

Allow your breath to become as soft and still as this picturesque moment.

A storybook setting that inspires peaceful dreams.

Feel your breath fall into a natural,

Easy rhythm.

As you sense every breath,

Bringing you to the soft,

Blurry edges of slumber.

Each inhalation and exhalation brings you closer to its mellow,

Restorative embrace.

Visualize yourself on a serene,

Nocturnal journey.

You walk a path in the cool,

Crisp fall air.

The only light from the brilliant full moon above.

The moon casts a silvery brilliance that illuminates the fiery red and vibrant gold of the leaves on the trees.

The air carries autumn's perfume,

A hint of distant wood smoke,

And the scent of a mineral-rich stream.

You approach a tranquil pond near a historic stone farmhouse and rustic red barn.

The stillness of the water reflecting the stars perched above the pond is a cozy treehouse.

A perfect vantage point to observe the night.

As you ascend the rustic ladder,

The wood feels cool and smooth beneath your hands.

You pull yourself up and into a small,

Inviting space where the cool air circulates,

Yet a sense of warmth beckons you.

You snuggle into a thick flannel blanket,

Its soft woven texture a comforting weight.

You revel in this precious moment,

Knowing everyone else is sleeping.

The only sound is the gentle hoot of an owl,

A soft call into the night.

Your attention is drawn to the vibrant colors of the autumn leaves,

Glowing in the moonlight,

Full of light and color even in their last days.

This is your personal sanctuary,

Created exactly as you desire now,

With elements that maybe you dreamed about in your early days.

Suddenly,

Being awake in the middle of the night feels like an unexpected gift,

And you revel in every moment.

You nestle atop a massive cushion,

Perfectly designed for you,

Covered in the plushest bedding,

Wonderfully warm and toasty.

It carries the comforting scent of wood smoke and cinnamon,

Soft and clean.

The downy mattress offers the right firmness and support.

Contouring around the curves of your body,

There's a mystical feeling in the air.

As you explore an hour of night,

You may not often consciously experience.

Nestled perfectly within this cozy treehouse,

The open windows frame a calming view of the autumn night without any intrusion.

This is your private,

Undisturbed sanctuary.

Listen to the soft rustle of leaves as they fall.

Their gentle sound is the most soporific and soothing lullaby.

On your inner sound mixer,

Notice the sound.

It gently slides its fader up,

Allowing autumn's tranquil song to fill your mental space,

Pushing everything else in the background.

You feel as content as a creature curled up in a warm burrow.

Birds sheltered in their nests,

And the earth embracing the quiet of the coming winter.

Every part of your being aligns with the peaceful energy of autumn as you are gently drawn toward harmony with this magical night.

A gentle,

Easy smile graces your lips.

Perhaps being awake isn't so bad after all,

When you are able to enjoy the night unfolding around you,

Completely undisturbed.

Moonlit leaves gracefully and slowly shower the earth,

Not rushing,

Taking their time to paint the air as they sail back and forth,

And back and forth.

Deep waves of comfort flow through you with the crisp,

Cool air that brushes across your flannel blanket,

Surrounded by layers of safety from the sturdy,

Protective walls of your treehouse to the gentle,

Persistent sounds outside.

You feel a bone-deep sense of ease.

You become as still as the night itself,

Rooted with a tangible sense of being grounded in deep peace.

At the same time,

Your breath takes on the fluidity of a fiery red maple leaf that knows when to surrender and simply flow.

Take a slow,

Gentle exhale,

Perhaps even a soft sigh,

And release anything you no longer need as you whisper to yourself,

Autumn brings surrender.

This profound message settles within you,

Like a quiet,

Reflective pond.

It flows from the crown of your head to the tips of your toes.

A wave of tranquility permeating your skin,

Tissues,

Muscles,

Nerves,

And bones.

Every single cell in your body receives the comforting signal that it's perfectly safe to stand down.

You invite in the sleepy,

Dreamy sensation that deepens with each soothing breath and every gentle sigh of the wind.

And sleep comes as easily as a leaf falling to the ground.

As the soft,

Persistent hoot of the owl.

As the diffused light of the moon bathes the world in a hopeful promise.

Feel yourself turning up the volume for rest,

For comfort,

For serenity.

Let these feelings swell within you.

Sigh again,

As every muscle becomes softer,

And your bones become heavy as they sink into the cushion in this charming treehouse.

Softness is your natural state.

As soft as the freshly laundered flannel blanket.

As lightweight as the mist rising from the pond.

As light as the toasty sheets and quilts that wrap around you.

Your eyes are tired and heavy.

And the world takes on a dreamy haze as you peer at the beautiful,

Shimmering leaves in the moonlight.

The distant,

Gleaming red apples in an orchard.

All scattered with countless tiny,

Iridescent droplets of dew.

In this sleepy moment,

The moonbeams on the leaves seem to hold messages.

And you may notice soft patterns forming as you trace them.

Slowly and peacefully,

These messages become clearer.

You see the words,

Serene Night,

Softly shimmering on the leaves.

You enjoy this game as your eyes drift across the golden surface,

Naturally gravitating toward messages that resonate in this quiet time.

Another soothing phrase comes into view.

You inhale deeply and sigh,

Letting the message settle.

Your eyes then slowly move on to read,

Beauty in Surrender.

You notice that as the words appear,

They are almost handwritten,

Graceful and elegant.

There's a sense of artistry and whimsy to them.

Another phrase stands out in the softest,

Shimmering light.

Peace is yours.

Each message provides a reminder from the vast universe,

Supporting you and guiding you back to sleep.

One more message appears.

This message is as helpful for your waking life as it is for your sleeping life.

As you gently drift between these worlds,

The message comes.

It's okay to let go.

You feel your eyelids flutter gently,

Becoming heavier as they close for a brief while.

You're almost there,

Gently welcoming the heady waves of sleepiness.

Unsure of how much time passes,

Your attention drifts below.

In the cinematic glow of the historic farmhouse,

An antique lantern light glows.

The peaceful whisper of the breeze through the eaves blends with the soft patter of falling leaves,

Creating a natural,

Symphonic sleep aid on this autumn night.

The cool,

Crisp night air feels cleansing and pure with each inhalation.

Gently warming as it enters your nose before reaching your lungs.

The nocturnal shades of deep blue and charcoal,

Softened by the kiss of the moonlit trees,

Gently connect you with the beauty of this dreamy night.

Allow this to remind you how easily you can surrender to rest.

A floating sensation begins to stir,

Drifting on the waves of sleep that undulate like the ripples on the pond.

So very tired,

So very much at ease.

Sleep is one of the most natural and necessary responses to feeling tired.

It follows gently when you feel safe,

Secure,

And tended to.

Your heart rate naturally slows down,

Your body welcoming the chance to go slower.

As you embrace each soothing sensation,

Your breath deepens effortlessly.

Once more,

Remember,

You are the gentle conductor of your own peace,

Your breath.

And now,

The serene autumn night.

Appreciate this wonderful gift you possess.

The ability to transport yourself to any peaceful place you desire.

As you align with your breath,

Notice how each inhale and exhale shifts the sails of your thoughts,

Guiding you deeper into a state of peace.

As you get closer to the soft edge of sleep,

Your body sinks deeper,

Your eyelids flutter and close like soft shudders.

As you connect with the serene rhythm of your breath,

And perhaps begin to count each inhale and exhale,

With each count,

You become more sleepy.

Your body becomes heavier,

And you feel the sweet persistent tug of sleep.

It invites you to come along and return to the dreamscapes inspired by your imagination.

And these moments in the autumn night,

Drifting deeper and deeper into this peaceful,

Soothing experience.

With each gentle exhale,

Allow yourself to fully embrace the stillness of the night.

Feeling a profound and peaceful connection to the natural world surrounding you.

The gentle,

Persistent whisper of the wind is a silent,

Wise guardian.

The countless leaves on the trees seem to whisper you to sleep.

Their gentle messages,

Softly illuminating the night.

The vast and awe-inspiring universe reminds you of the infinite possibilities for peaceful rest.

When you inhale softly and deeply,

You gently draw in the complete tranquility of this autumn night.

And with each soft exhale,

You gently release any remaining tension or worry.

Everything in this moment feels soft and deeply soothing.

The rhythmic rustling of the leaves,

The whistling wind that guides the autumn night air,

Your muscles and your joints soften and relax completely.

The luminous moon filtering through the tree branches to create a peaceful and calming ambience.

The bed remains nestled in your cozy treehouse,

Surrounded by the comforting aroma of apples,

Wood smoke,

And pine.

The gentle,

Cool air of the night still circulates through the space.

It creates the perfect temperature for sleep.

Inhale softly as you drift,

And feel each breath nourish you with gentle love and care.

And with each steady exhalation,

Feel waves of gratitude fostering a sense of lightness.

The more you gently float,

The more you breathe softly.

The more deeply relaxed you feel,

With a deep feeling of trust and complete safety.

Any worries or concerns are like distant,

Forgotten shadows in the soft glow of your treehouse.

You trust that the peaceful universe is here to support you.

The gently falling leaves softly shimmer with promise.

The promise of deep rest and easy renewal as you fall back asleep.

The quiet autumn night is a time for deep rest,

And for gentle exploration of all the soothing and peaceful places that your own wonderful imagination can create in your dreamscape.

As you gently float between the waking world and the world of dreams,

You choose where you may go next.

Drifting like the leaves that take flight into the night.

Landing gently on the pond and floating in the moonlight.

Or maybe floating across the dewy grass with a scattering of leaves.

Making your way to a perfect sleepy alcove or bedroom in the farmhouse.

Or maybe you simply stay here,

Nestled in a treehouse amongst the stars.

There is no need to push or long for sleep.

You gently surrender to the peaceful night,

Perhaps even playing with the comforting idea that in this new reality,

You can be in many peaceful places all at once.

Sleep is a simple and natural process when you are in such a state of comfort and ease.

Gently bringing your attention inward,

Following this peaceful sensation as every part of your body softens and surrenders deeply into sleep.

And your body,

Feeling more deeply relaxed than perhaps it has in a long time,

Is now a gentle conduit for your mind to follow.

To softly power down for sleep in the heart of this autumn night.

Finding surrender.

Finding softness.

Finding coziness.

Finding sleep.
