Hello and welcome to this guided sleep meditation designed to give you the relaxing experience of a mountain spa retreat where you can sample luxurious comfort and pleasure combined with the healing presence of nature soaking up the peaceful energy of a mountain valley.

My name is Richard Willis and my voice will guide you so your mind can let go and enjoy the deep relaxation of this mountain spa sanctuary.

Join me now as we first relax the body and mind for the journey.

Make yourself comfortable,

Take a few gentle relaxing breaths and we'll begin in a moment.

Now allow the eyelids to comfortably close and let the breath settle into its own soothing natural rhythm.

It's time to relax so let the body soften,

Allow all the muscles to relax and rest your awareness on your breath.

Follow it as it flows through your nose and deeper into the body.

Follow its flow in and out.

Take some moments to notice its gentle movement as your focus deepens.

Notice the sensations in each part of the body as the breath makes its journey,

The sensations as the breath moves through the nostrils,

The rising of the chest,

The lifting of the abdomen.

Deep down then follow the breath back up.

Just watch the breath in this way.

Now imagine the breath moving beyond these areas beginning to fill up the arms and legs.

Imagine as you breathe the pure healing breath filling every part of the body,

Letting the air rejuvenate and calm.

Each breath filling every part of you with healing,

With energy,

With peace.

Enjoy some time with these nourishing breaths.

So journey now with your mind's eye.

Allow a scene to emerge around you.

You're in a peaceful room in what appears to be a luxury spa,

Sat on a comfortable white fabric couch.

There are refreshing drinks nearby on a low table,

Green plants all around you and to your side the warmth of a crackling fire,

The light of the flames gently shifting and swaying.

Relaxing background music is playing and a subtle pleasant fragrance is in the air.

You are looking out of a huge window taking up one entire wall.

Outside is a wonderful mountain view,

A fertile mountain valley stretched out before you,

The mountain stream running along the bottom and emerald evergreen trees spreading from the stream's banks to halfway up the mountains on either side.

The upper portions of the mountains are covered with grass,

Mosses and rocky outcrops catching the warm rays of the sunset.

The sky is a soothing pink hue.

This is your mountain spa retreat away from the busyness of the rest of the world.

Here you can unwind in peace,

Detox from hectic living with the perfect balance of modern luxury comforts and nature's healing energy.

As you lean forward and take a sip of your favourite drink,

Really taste it,

Be mindful of all the pleasure in just that one moment and so much more pleasure to sample.

Take in the scene for a moment,

Allowing you to fully drink in the beauty and calm.

Now,

From your couch,

Slowly stand up and walk over to the window where there is a large glass sliding door out to your own private balcony.

Easily slide it open and walk onto the wide decked balcony.

The fresh evening air enters your lungs,

Revitalising you.

As you approach the wooden railings,

There is a hot tub steaming next to you.

You can feel the warmth from it beckoning you.

Prepare yourself for the hot tub and then slip into it,

Feeling the warm bliss of the water on your skin.

The seat in the hot tub is the perfect height to comfortably lean back and truly relax,

The warm water soothing the body and the slightly cool evening air caressing the face.

Breathe in that pure air as you relax in the tub,

Let it fill you with every in-breath,

Nourishing the entire body,

Releasing all tension,

Just letting it evaporate,

Like steam drifting away,

Shifting and curling its way into the atmosphere.

From this place of pure comfort,

Look out past the balcony,

Onto the mountain scene,

The trees standing proudly on the mountainside,

The different varieties and colours,

The valley stream.

The valley stream is one of the only sounds you can faintly hear now,

Steadily trickling,

Lazily meandering between the contours of the land around it.

In the sky above,

You catch the sight of a soaring eagle,

Gliding effortlessly as it gazes on the world below.

From its blessed perspective,

Able to see the world more as a whole,

All connected,

As you imagine what that would be like,

To soar above it all,

To look with perspective on life and see it holistically,

The tapestry of events all interconnected,

Feeling the pleasure that it brings,

A sense of peace and awe,

And looking on the world with a deep appreciation of how things fit together,

Clearly seeing both the large scale and the small scale,

All playing their part,

All the same world,

Just a different perspective,

And as you continue to enjoy the warmth of the hot tub,

The nourishing evening air,

The eagle gliding above,

For the mountain peaks,

And see the warm colours of the sunset,

Mixing and blending,

Like an artist's palette,

So mesmerising to look at,

Entrancing,

Allowing yourself some time now to take in the moment,

The view,

The warmth of the hot tub,

The graceful turns of the eagle in the sky,

The mountains,

The trees,

The sunset,

Let yourself really relax,

And you can allow your eyes to drift across the sky,

Drinking in the rich colour,

The pink of the sky is now reddening,

And as night approaches,

The valley is falling quiet,

Like nature is settling in for a healing night's sleep,

You gaze at the beauty of your surroundings,

And feel in your heart a deep satisfaction,

The simplicity of nature,

Like you've released a weight that you've been carrying,

And then feeling that wonderful relief and lightness,

Allow your whole being now to align with nature,

And let its natural energy nourish you,

And as you bring your awareness back to the normal feelings of the body,

Fully back to the present moment,

Allow your body to settle into an even deeper relaxation,

The relief that your retreat has brought you,

Still permeating your body,

Nature's soothing energy,

Still relaxing your mind,

All muscles in the body softening,

Ready for a truly peaceful sleep,

As your mind flows like water to pleasant thoughts of nature,

Of warmth,

Of serenity,

Both body and mind,

Sliding towards sleep,

Flowing easily into relaxation,

Letting go of all doing,

And simply content with being,

With the blissful peace of the moment,

Calm,

Resting,

And drifting towards sweet slumber,

And it's fine to let go now,

To slide into drowsiness,

To feel that effortless release,

As any residual tension finally lifts from you,

Like morning dew evaporating into the air,

Drifting off as part of nature's inevitable cycles,

Relax,

And let it all go,

Rest,

Settled,

And rest,

Calm,

Content,

As the body is nourished with every breath,

And the mind looks,

And looks,

Drifting,

Calm,

Peaceful,

Meandering into deep relaxation,

Trusting in the power of letting go,

Letting go,

Surrendering to calm,

And the haven that is the wisdom of the deep mind,

Inner ability,

Your natural ability,

To slide into tranquility,

Like a floating seed on a gentle breeze,

Lazily drifting,

And with full faith in nature,

Sleep is calling now,

A true deep sleep,

Where the slow,

Pleasant thoughts drift hazily by,

Floating closer,

And closer,

Into sleep,

So relaxed,

Deeper,

And deeper,

Towards a healing sleep,

So calm,

So ready for sleep,

So tranquil,

Completely relaxed,

Completely at peace,

So
