Welcome to Sleepy Adventures.
My name is Reuben and here we are.
Today's sleepy adventure is called Wisdom of Me.
Find your favorite sleeping position.
Allow the surroundings of comfort and ease to gently envelope you.
The familiar friendly pull of gravity.
Noticing this pull from the earth appreciating the fact that you chose this moment.
This moment for you and from you.
This is your time.
This is your space.
Moving into the space of imagination.
Into the realm where all good things happen.
Imagine a way for a year and a day.
Let's go for a drive.
I'm happy for you to be my guest.
Let's see where we end up.
Feel free to open the car door and get into the passenger seat.
Here we are.
About to go.
There's something magic about this journey.
It's as though the physical world as we know it is changing.
Take a look into the side mirror.
Can you see the trees fade away into the horizon?
Here comes the rain.
No more than a few drops to start with.
Let's stop off for a moment,
Shall we?
Look at that for perfect timing.
There's a lay by coming up.
Let's pull over here.
Let's stop and listen to the rain on the windscreen.
I don't know about you,
But it's as though the raindrops are pulling my attention.
See what it's like to get familiar with the pattern of the rain,
Which starts to run down the window.
Right here and now,
You can be as lazy as you like.
What might it be like to let go completely?
And what's left is this you,
This living,
Caring human being that is experiencing,
Simply experiencing,
Simply being,
Which is non-doing,
And gently noticing,
I am aware of myself.
Noticing,
I am aware of being aware.
There's so much that we hold on to in life.
And this is a moment to let go of that.
How you feel about this,
How you feel about that.
This is a moment for you and from you.
We can jump back up into thinking.
When this little audio track is over,
We put so much pressure on ourselves.
We feel we need to get things right.
Our friendships,
The roles we play in different environments in our lives.
The people we need to connect with,
The people we need to be acquainted with.
But right here and now,
This is your space.
Space,
Me,
Here,
Now,
With everything that comes and goes.
Thoughts as thoughts,
Feelings as feelings,
And my gentle awareness that notices moments like these are magnificent.
They can help us experience a little more deeply something that goes beyond the words.
Here I am.
This is it.
This is me in my immediate surroundings.
All is well.
A beautiful little opportunity to sit and notice.
I am aware of myself noticing my dear body.
Here you are.
Here we are.
This is me.
And with a little half smile,
Sometimes that acknowledgement can bring a soft feeling tone of kindness,
Which starts within and emanates without.
There's something magic surrounding us now.
It's everywhere.
You can drift away.
For a year and a day.
You can go up there if you like.
You can float up there.
Anything is possible up there.
It's kind and spacious.
My sleepy adventure.
What does it mean?
Now I drift off into a dream.
Dream.
