Hi,
I'm Trish.
This is a practice to help you get to sleep through the power of your imagination and visualization.
Start with your breath,
Taking a really,
Really deep breath in.
.
.
And releasing it.
.
.
Another one,
A really,
Really deep breath in.
.
.
And releasing it all the way.
Now,
In your mind's eye,
See yourself walking through a beautiful field with long grasses that are shimmering in the afternoon sun,
Flowers coming up here and there.
.
.
The warm sun warms your skin,
Warms your heart.
.
.
You feel cuddled by the air.
.
.
You may see some flowers that you love.
.
.
Take a moment to stop and notice a beauty.
.
.
You continue walking through the field,
The soft grass beneath your feet.
.
.
The way the sun shimmies over everything,
Turning it all golden.
.
.
Turning you golden.
.
.
Almost so that the sunlight radiates back out from you again.
.
.
Up ahead there's this beautiful spot under a tall,
Tall tree that you feel called to lie down under.
.
.
You lie down and feel the earth beneath your body.
.
.
You feel solid but soft.
.
.
And hold to you,
Support you.
.
.
As you look up you see the sun dancing through the leaves,
Shimmering.
.
.
Gliding,
Lighting up different leaves as they twinkle with the light breeze.
.
.
You see the patches of blue and the way that the boughs of the tree move and dance in the wind.
.
.
Slowly rocking from side to side.
.
.
You see a butterfly flying around above you,
Its blue wings shimmering in the light.
.
.
Think for a moment it's going to perch right on your nose.
.
.
But it flies off,
Followed by a dragonfly.
.
.
Up above in the tree you see two small willy wagtails,
Small birds with tiny beaks and blue on their heads and long little sticking up tails that dance around as they spin and twist.
.
.
Fast and slow.
.
.
Fast and slow.
.
.
Fast and still.
.
.
Spin.
.
.
As you see them your heart soars at their cute and funness.
.
.
Above the sky is starting to change as the sun drops lower in the sky.
.
.
You see hues of pink and gold and orange start to spread out across,
Bleeding into the blue.
.
.
A fruit salad sky.
.
.
As you lie in the sky as you lie on the earth looking up through the boughs of the tree.
.
.
The day releases away like rain into the soil.
.
.
Letting go of you.
.
.
Holding you as you relax deeply and deeply.
.
.
And deeply.
.
.
And as the sky changes again,
The colour running away as it gets darker and darker.
.
.
Start to see the specks.
.
.
A light of stars above through the branches of the tree.
.
.
Winking at you from far,
Far away.
.
.
Wishing you goodnight.
.
.
Wishing you a sweet dream.
.
.
Wishing you goodnight.
.
.
Wishing you goodnight.
.
.
Wishing you goodnight.
.
.
Wishing you goodnight.
.
.
Wishing you goodnight.
.
.
