Welcome to tranquil sleep meditation.
My name is Jacqueline and I am going to take you on a sleep journey where I will leave you to enjoy a tranquil night's sleep.
Let's prepare your body for sleep.
Get into a comfortable position in your bed,
A position where you know you will relax.
Move slightly just to make sure.
Feel the pillow under your head and the covers over your body.
You feel warm and cozy as you begin to relax.
Gently close your eyes as you allow your mind to clear.
Allow unnecessary thinking to move away.
If unwanted thoughts come in just push them away.
This is your time to sleep,
Your time to feel comfort,
Your time to rest and recharge,
Your time for relaxation.
Let's take a deep breath in and allow the air to fill your body.
Now release as your body relaxes and another deep breath in.
Your whole body fills with calming energy and then release.
Your body is beginning to relax as you take nice steady breaths.
You are warm,
You are cozy,
You are safe.
As your body relaxes I am going to take you on a journey.
It's only a short journey but it will be relaxing.
You're going for a ride on a plane.
The plane will take you to a place you have always wanted to visit.
A place you have only ever dreamt about going to before.
This place is somewhere special.
It's only going to be a short visit but a visit that will be so pleasing.
You are in the airport lounge.
There are lots and lots of people here.
All waiting like you to get onto a special plane to take them to visit their dream place.
This is a magical airport and you have to wait for your name to be called.
You look around.
There are people of different ages all sitting with excited looks on their faces.
Many are alone but some are in couples and there's a few family groups nearby.
You wonder where these people are going,
Where their special place is,
Where they will visit.
You hear a name called.
It's not your name but it is a name which seems familiar to you.
The person stands and you think you recognize them.
Maybe you do but they are gone through the departure door before you can say anything to them.
You settle back into your seat.
Soon another name is called.
Again you recognize the name.
Someone you know.
Someone you have been meaning to contact.
This person stands and almost as quickly disappears through the departure's door.
You wait your turn and it's not long before another name is called.
Another name familiar to you.
As this person disappears through two departures you realize you are being reminded to contact special family and friends.
People you haven't been in contact with for a while.
Life becomes busy and days then weeks pass by.
This reminder is just what you need.
Friends are important and family sometimes more so.
We are all getting older and life does not go on forever.
You make a mental note to contact these people before it's too late.
Now it's your turn.
As you hear your name called you walk through the departure door which leads you down a long passageway.
On the walls are pictures and you soon recognize that these are pictures of fun times you've had in the past.
The memories make you smile and then for a moment you are sad as you realize you have been taking life far too seriously lately and not taking enough time to enjoy fun times with those you love.
As you step onto the plane you decide it is time to change that.
A lady with a friendly smile greets you as you enter the plane.
You notice from her name badge her name is Grace.
Grace guides you to your seat which appears to be the only seat on the plane.
This flight is just for you.
You sit down and place the seat belt across your lap and click it into position.
Grace seems to have disappeared.
You look around.
This plane is like no other.
There are no tiny cabin windows.
Instead the window stretches all around the plane.
You can see everything outside with nothing obscuring your view.
You settle back ready for the ride.
A voice announces the plane is ready for takeoff.
You realize this is Grace.
Grace is also your pilot.
The plane rises up into the air surprisingly like a spaceship would.
Then ever so smoothly the plane takes you off to your special destination.
It takes only a few seconds to get there and when you arrive you are not disappointed.
This place is everything you have dreamt it would be and more.
You eagerly soak up all you can see longing to be able to get out of the plane and explore.
But seconds later the plane has landed back where it started.
Grace reappears and beckons you to release your seat belt as she opens the door for you to exit the plane.
You thank her as you leave and you find yourself in another long passageway.
You look at the walls as you walk along the passageway and notice this time instead of pictures there are words.
You read each one as you pass.
Follow your dreams.
Live your best life every day.
Spread your smile wherever you go.
Know that you are special.
Things will always work out for you.
Every day is a new opportunity.
Choose to be happy.
Your possibilities are endless.
Tomorrow is a new day.
You arrive at the end of the passageway.
You feel joyful and uplifted.
You close your eyes for a moment as you allow the words to flow through you wanting to remember them.
A warmth suddenly surrounds you and you realize you are back in your bed.
You are comfortable and you feel very sleepy now.
As sleep begins to take over you want to process the messages you have received.
All things you have needed to hear.
You feel very relaxed as you reflect over your journey.
Thankful for all the messages you received.
Tomorrow you will contact family and friends.
Life is too short not to.
As you feel sleep getting closer you reflect over the pictures in the first passageway.
You are determined to create time to enjoy yourself more.
Time to plan things with loved ones.
Time to have things to look forward to.
You are very comfortable and cozy as you remember Grace.
The beauty and kindness in her name makes you understand that patience and understanding is far better than anger and resentment when something goes wrong.
You can feel yourself drifting off to sleep as you remember the plane ride.
You decide to plan this long-awaited trip to that special place.
You are not going to put it off any longer as you don't want any regrets in life.
As sleep envelops you,
You know that tomorrow will be a great day as you make these new plans.
Sleep is swirling around you and you think about the words in the second passageway.
These have given you the boost you need to live life to the full,
To pursue adventure and live your dreams.
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life and you now have the determination to live it as best you can.
With these thoughts in mind,
You know life will be good.
You are nearly asleep.
You are so relaxed.
You are warm and cozy.
You are so comfortable.
You are ready for sleep.
You are ready to dream.
Sleep takes over.
You fall into a deep,
Deep sleep.
