Let's make sure we are safe and cozy in our beds,

Tucked right in.

Imagine you are a little bear,

Getting ready to sleep in your cozy cave.

The stars are twinkling softly outside,

And the night air is cool and gentle.

Wrap your arms around yourself in a big,

Warm bear hug.

Take a deep breath in,

And as you breathe out,

Feel your body getting softer and heavier.

Tired,

Just like a sleepy bear.

Sway a little side to side if you like.

Rocking yourself into comfort.

Run your fingers through your hair,

And give yourself one more big hug.

Feel safe,

Warm,

And loved,

Just like you are wrapped in the coziest blanket.

Take another deep breath,

And let your dreams be full of peaceful forests,

Sparkling rivers,

And honey,

And soft,

Cozy nights.

I am safe,

I am loved,

I can rest peacefully.
