Fall into a deeply healing sleep in this story and meditation with positive affirmations that will elevate your frame of mind and seep into your subconscious as you sleep.

There is a sea cliff where people go,

Perched high above seemingly endless sapphire waves and so close to the open skies above.

People come to the sacred place for self-reflection as if the sky is a mirror shining back all the beauty that you have forgotten that exists in you.

I would like to welcome you to Michelle Sanctuary.

My name is Michelle and you may think of my voice as that of your ally and guide who will lead you through a travel journey to the peaks of the sea cliff.

If you have been struggling with confidence or certainty in your life,

This will help you.

If you have been struggling with knowing your life's purpose and feeling disconnected to your inner voice,

I will be here to help you reconnect with the you that has always been you.

The unique soul that you are,

Permanent and invincible.

So find a safe place where you may lie down before bed,

Get comfortable and fall into a deep sleep.

And at any point that you desire,

You may let go of my voice and fall asleep.

Knowing these words may float across the bridge between your waking and sleeping life and give you guidance in your dreams.

And you may awaken in the morning,

Feeling refreshed and rested and empowered to take on a new day.

You deserve this time.

You deserve to feel good in your body.

You deserve to connect with the deepest parts of yourself and find clarity right now.

You need not wait.

The time is now.

So take a deep breath in,

Letting your chest expand,

Before sighing it out and letting your sigh turn into a yawn.

Feeling heavy in your bed,

You may inhale deeply and this time exhale through pursed lips.

And as you do,

You visualize that you are walking in an evergreen forest and you see your breath cut through the misty air around you.

You inhale the fragrance of pine and balsam fir.

Feeling the cool air travel through your nose and refresh you.

You carry a backpack and a sleeping bag and feel as if you are being hugged by the straps.

And you think to yourself,

I am secure.

I am alive.

I am present.

I am here.

I am part of all this beauty.

I am grateful to have the freedom to explore.

I am so very blessed.

You step upon the forest floor,

Ascending a trail that is covered with pinecones and the fallen needles of the surrounding evergreen trees.

Some needles are the color of rust,

With those that are freshly fallen appearing in a deep shade of green.

You bend down to pick up a few and run them through your fingers,

Enjoying the tactile sensation that reminds you of playing with them as a child,

When your imagination would run wild.

It soothes you to carry a few,

Before scattering them one at a time as you continue to hike up the incline.

The ground becomes more rocky the further you incline and the trees become more sparse.

And you think to yourself,

I am strong.

I am vibrant.

I am happy for the use of my legs and for my body that grants me this freedom to move.

I am grateful for feeling good right now.

The trees begin to clear and the briny smell of the sea marries the piney fragrance of the forest.

Senses of golden sunlight burst through the branches,

Warming your face and body.

And you think,

I am warmth.

I am comfort.

I am at peace.

I am connected.

I am here.

I am deserving of the warmth of the light that cuts through the shade.

I am deserving of the love that cuts through the ugliness of the world.

I am deserving of all good things that come my way.

And I am aware of all the things that come my way.

I am peace.

I am whole.

I am a spirit having a human experience.

I am one with all that is around me.

And it is like a gentle whisper.

It is a voice that exists outside of you,

But reflects all that you know to be true deep within.

These whispers carry over the great sea,

Which is now in your view as you come upon the edge of the cliff.

And there,

All this magical beauty that exists and continues on even when you are not able to see it.

When your thoughts and worries overwhelm you at times,

This vantage point serves as a reminder that beauty is all around.

And right now,

Any worries or concerns have been silenced.

And when you have worries in your waking life,

You will think of this beautiful peak of the cliff looking out on the golden sun as it turns the sapphire sea into amber waves that ebb and flow,

Creating white caps below as the surf slams against the rocks.

The mist that forms is dreamy and hypnotic,

And you may feel the tiny droplets of the sea make their way into your nose,

Even at this high peak.

And your feet feel solid as you remove your backpack and place it on the earth.

You are grounded and static.

Even as the earth continues to move,

Gravity keeps you still.

The bedrock below your feet keeps you balanced.

It keeps you stable.

Even as the endless sea moves below you,

This is the place you think.

When you take a seat,

Allowing your legs to hang over the rocky edge,

And as you look out upon the clear sky as the sun is going down,

It feels as if you are looking into a mirror,

Seeing the reflection of yourself,

The powerful spirit and energy that is inside of you is radiating back,

Cast upon the sky,

Cast upon the sea.

You see a version of yourself that is the best version of you.

On this vista,

Where magically you may connect with all parts of yourself,

Time is no longer linear and everything exists right now.

You see the moments of you as a child.

This collection of memories that remind you of who you are.

Memories where your passions and where key traits of your personality were revealed.

You see the most vital relationships that formed you.

The people who have loved you into loving.

And you feel forgiveness.

This enlightening and calm sensation that gives you a lightness of being.

Because you are so happy to be here.

Where you are.

Right now.

Letting go of any negative energy.

To let the vast space ahead of you absorb it all because it does not serve you.

And to have this moment of inner peace and connectedness,

You needed to go through every trial and every adventure that led you to the present moment.

When you see yourself in the present moment feeling good,

Your heart open,

You utter these words.

I am love.

I am peace.

I am resilient.

I am able to thrive even among challenges that I do not expect.

I am able to find joy in the tender moments.

I am doing okay.

I am on the right path.

I am exactly where I need to be.

I am connected and part of everything.

And everything is a part of me.

I am light.

I am doing my best.

I am okay with failure as it is just a transition to what I need to be doing with my life.

I am okay with not knowing.

I am okay with knowing.

I am aware of how precious each moment is and that it is mine.

I am the creator of my own life story.

I am responsible for how I respond to things.

I am capable of shifting my perspective so I may find peace and harmony.

I am able to receive love.

The sun has disappeared beyond the horizon as a row of clouds begins to move in like silvery fingers that slither across the twilight sky.

Just as you have the faith that the sun will rise again tomorrow,

So too have you the faith that you will awaken tomorrow and be able to shine your own light.

It is always there,

Even when depression or disappointment or anxiety cloud your vision.

You are light.

You are energy.

You are life.

The words continue to flow from your lips,

To resonate with the stillness within you as you look out upon the deep blue sky.

Now set a glow by stars that connect and give you impressions of the person you wish to become.

You see all you have desired.

Now playing out upon this mystical sky as the crescent of a moon hangs above and reflects moonlight upon the dark sea below.

Comfortable and secure on the bedrock cliff,

You are able to feel solid strength that is within you like armor your solar plexus feels as if it is made of steel.

The longings you have for yourself come to life and you believe these visions,

These dreams.

They were given to you as guidance and the universe will rise up to meet you.

The right people will appear at the right time.

Synchronicity will enable a gentle flow to give to you all that is yours and you set your intention.

You feel abundance.

I am in tune with what feels right for me.

I am aware of all I have wanted and been drawn to.

I am brave.

I am willing to claim what is mine.

I am confident.

Because inside of me there has always been a reserve of confidence and security and trust.

I am trusting.

I am an intuitive being.

I am open to signs that help direct me towards what I desire.

I am full of faith that it will all be okay.

I am aware that this trust and hope may put out any sparks of worry or doubt in my mind.

I listen to what is right for me and am not persuaded or shamed by external sources or societal expectations or ideas or judgment from others because this is my life.

This is my story.

I am.

Your eyes gather some stones and create a fire pit and then gather pine needles and twigs for tinder wood.

You grab some larger branches and the fire grows starting with ease.

You are reminded again of your own inner flame glowing against the dark of the night,

Radiating warmth against the cool air.

As you inhale and exhale,

Your own breath emulating the sound of the gentle waves that crash below.

And you position your sleeping bag next to the fire and climb into it,

Zipping it tightly against you.

You feel grounded and safe.

You feel connected to all the souls who came before you and sought comfort by the fire in this ancient ritual.

Flat on your back,

Finding stillness as you look to the sky and affirmations appear across the stars as if handwritten with flourish.

I am connected to source where all is understood and where wisdom is deep.

I am certain that all the answers to my problems are coming to me at the speed of light.

I am confident that all my worries are problems that may be solved.

I am no longer listening to worry as it is a prayer for what could go wrong.

I am finding a solution for any worry to come my way.

I am capable of solving everything I need to address.

I am resourceful.

I am open.

I am attracted to those who will give me guidance.

I am able to love myself where I am at right now.

I am open to my own inner guidance.

I am accepting of who I am right now.

I am peace.

I am comfort.

I am well.

I am on the right path.

I am joy.

I am ready to step outside of my comfort zone.

When the time comes,

The answers will find me and I will be ready to receive them.

I am confident that all is being worked out for me and every experience to come my way is meant for growth and to propel me towards the person I am meant to become.

I am forgiveness because I benefit from the release of all the pain and weight that comes with holding on to something toxic.

I am free.

I am unstuck.

I am liberated and I am in control of directing my thoughts.

I am aware that I can only solve my problems with a different approach than the mind that caused them.

I am open to all the solutions and there are many that may arrive at my time of greatest need.

I am eternal.

I am conscious.

I am loving and nurturing to others and most importantly to myself.

Because I can only give once I am full.

I am aware of the vibrational feeling of faith and inner belief.

I am capable of recognizing when my spirits and thoughts are weighing me down and I am able to redirect my energy and allow myself to be elevated.

I am light.

I am aware of all that has been created around me and aware that the same source to create this life is responsible for my life as well.

And just as the tree does not worry how it will grow and just as the sea does not worry about the changing tides and just as the night does not fear the light of day for it may return again,

So too do I abandon my worry about the changes in my life.

I am always in a state of change and transition and yet I am always still me.

I am capable of all I have dreamt of.

I am capable of getting out of my own way.

I am able to conserve my energy for that which brings me joy and elevates me and not waste such energy on worry or doubt.

I am at peace.

I am able to connect to the permanence that is me no matter my age or location or financial status.

How I look or what I am going through as these things are temporary and will pass.

I am worthy of love.

I am worthy of success.

I am worthy of all the good things to come my way.

A gentle night wind blows across your face as your body remains warm and comfortable within the cocoon of your sleeping bag.

When you feel so very tired and at ease,

Ready to let go,

Ready to surrender to sleep,

Ready to cross over the bridge to your sleeping life,

Or in the form of dreams,

You may find those solutions to problems that you seek.

Deep in the subconscious,

Connected beyond,

Your imagination allows to strive away and create visuals that make the most sense.

Feeling loved and safe,

Your eyes so heavy,

Letting your lids sink down upon your eyes,

Going down,

Down,

Down,

Towards a night of healing and restorative sleep,

Lulling yourself,

Soothing yourself as the ocean waves continue to crash and you are ready to fall asleep beneath the midnight blue,

Velvety sky.

I am going to count you down towards sleep.
