This is Rasa,
Welcome to your guided,
Deep sleep meditation.
Feel the comfort of your pillow and bed.
Carefully close your eyes and watch the breath flow.
Mindfully drop different parts of the body onto your comfortable bed until you become limp and motionless.
Drop your mind into a level of contentment where only blissful feelings are softly flowing through your being.
Walk your head to empty of all thought other than of gratitude for the natural world.
Imagine the beautiful colours of magnificent light in the ether.
Feel your energy travelling through this light,
Into the space where the celestial bodies linger in the peaceful serenity.
Wander past the moon and stars,
Drifting towards our planet with an appreciation for all that is spiritual.
See your light travelling through the clouds and into a cosy and golden-orange space where the sun is shining and the air is warm.
The grass below you is green and there is a fresh smell of fauna.
In the distance,
Notice a number of soft-looking objects moving towards you.
As they get closer,
You can see that they are made of what seems like fluffy clouds and dark specks.
These gentle beings are slowly prancing and drawing closer and closer now to you.
They are perfectly aligned in a straight line.
Each one the same distance apart from the other.
Their movement is matching as each one is doing the same as the other.
The movements are soft and gracious.
As they become recognisable,
You can see that they are white,
Fluffy lamps ready to be counted.
As the first one approaches,
You see it slowly leaping into the air.
Its black legs and feet skip and jump into the sky as you watch it float further and further away.
It gets smaller and smaller now,
Disappearing into the sky above.
One,
You count in your mind's eye.
Feel your physical eyes closing heavier and tiredness slowly moving in.
Just as the first lamp fades into the distance,
A second which is following behind becomes the focus of your attention.
It is coming closer again.
You see a beautiful white fluffy coat.
The brilliant white wool glimmers under the warm sun.
Extra minds of untouched white candyfloss.
You see the lamp's cute little legs and solid black feet lift into the air.
It gallantly skips into the sky and slowly vanishes.
Two,
You count.
Another approaches just as the second one disappears into the ether.
This time,
See a gentle little face with innocent eyes perched onto this marvellous woolly mass.
This look reminds you of a young child waiting for you to pick it up and give it a loving embrace.
Three,
You count as the little lamp leaps towards the sky.
Like the first,
Its dark legs rhythmically run slowly up to the clouds and disappear.
The up and down movement of knees and feet make you feel sleepy.
You are drifting gradually into a world of slumber.
Four,
You count as the next little lamp approaches and takes off into the sky.
Four,
You count as the next little lamp.
Five,
Count each one as they run towards you and leap.
Six,
Count each one as they run towards you.
Seven,
Count each one as they run towards you.
Eight.
You are now drifting into dream world as you see these beautiful creatures come towards you and lift majestically into the sky.
With every little lamp that comes your way,
Increasingly notice aspects of their gentle beauty and deeply relaxing aura.
They each look at you with eyes of wonder and innocence at the same time.
Five.
Feel this gaze make you feel calm and content.
Bask in the love that comes from the emotion these modest creatures instil in you.
Six.
Snuggle into the safety and security you feel under your covers.
It is so pleasantly warm and comfortable.
Repeat the shelter you have and the peace you are able to feel as you prepare for a night's rest.
Turn your attention back to the counting of the fluffy lamps in the warm,
Sunny plain.
With the beautiful blue sky and fresh grass beneath you,
Number eight drifts away and becomes invisible.
Number nine skips towards you.
This soft-looking body makes you feel like you want to reach out and touch it.
Imagine it feeling like the softest will you have ever encountered.
Draw your attention to the sense of ease coming over you.
It's like the softest cotton wool making your fingers tingle with the light.
Another lamp rhythmically runs towards you.
Ten.
This time notice its adorable little ears perched perfectly on its black head.
Each one a perfect triangle with a circular tip.
They're both cupped beautifully into a flawless shell-like form.
The lamp leaps into the air and again with the forward and backward movement of its little legs becomes smaller and smaller.
It runs upwards and eventually disappears.
The line of little fluffy lamps in front of you reaches out into the distance as far as you can see.
Each one an exact distance apart from the other.
Travel in the perfection of the formation.
Slope into the flawless procession of soft,
Beautiful creatures.
Two exits.
Feel your eyes getting heavier as you focus on the row of soft lamps moving in tandem together.
Each one ready to show their magnificence as they approach you.
Release into the air and slowly vanish.
Baby lamb number 11 is now skipping slowly.
Getting bigger and bigger.
It reaches its optimum size and it jumps into the air,
Moving forward and upward elegantly.
See the front legs steadily run with the back legs following closely behind in a rhythmic motion.
This continuous,
Repetitive motion makes your eyes stay heavily shut and sleep is now taking hold of you.
12.
13.
14.
15.
And slowly,
Repetitively and rhythmically.
12.
15.
Your body now feels light.
Your whole being is overcome by a floating sensation.
It's a familiar feeling which is coming over you.
Notice everything you experience just before you gently fall asleep.
12.
Continue to count.
See how many you can count tonight.
Each lamb you see,
Let its softness to make your body feel cozy.
13.
Drifting and counting into sleep.
14.
16.
You you
