Hello there,
Little captain.
Tonight,
We're going on a very special journey together.
A journey across a peaceful,
Relaxing ocean,
Where you are the captain of your very own ship.
Before we begin,
Find a cosy spot in your bed where you can settle in,
Close your eyes,
And let your imagination take you on a wonderful adventure.
Take a deep breath in,
All the way down to the tummy and let it out slowly.
Take another deep breath in,
And let it out ever so slowly.
Feel your body starting to relax as you breathe gently and deeply and slowly,
Just like the gentle waves of the ocean.
And with each breath,
As you just close your eyes,
You begin to drift deeper into calm,
Ready to set sail on this magical journey.
Imagine yourself standing at the front of a beautiful ship.
It's your ship.
It's sturdy and strong and makes you feel safe and secure.
The sun is beginning to set,
Painting the sky with shades of pink,
Orange,
And gold.
The ocean around you is calm and smooth,
Like a soft blanket that stretches out as far as you can see.
As the captain of this ship,
You know exactly where you're going.
You feel the gentle rocking of the ship beneath your feet.
And the cool breeze on your face makes you feel even more relaxed.
The sound of waves is soothing.
A quiet rhythm that makes you feel sleepy and calm and peaceful.
Your ship is sailing on the calmest of oceans,
With the waves softly lapping against the sides of the boat.
And as the sun begins to set,
The stars are beginning to twinkle in the sky above,
Like tiny little diamonds that guide you on your journey.
You look out over the peaceful water and you see the moon reflecting on the surface,
Lighting up the path ahead.
As you steer your ship,
You notice how peaceful everything is.
The ocean is calm and peaceful.
And the night is so quiet that you feel yourself getting sleepier and sleepier.
Your eyelids are becoming heavy and your body feels warm and cosy like you're wrapped up in your favourite blanket.
And as the captain,
You have a special power,
A power to make the ocean even more relaxing.
You find your cabin.
It's safe and secure.
And you're ready to go.
It's safe and secure.
Your crew will steer the ship.
Your crew will take care of everything.
As you find your cabin,
And find the most comfortable bed you can imagine,
Climbing in and getting beautifully comfortable,
You close your eyes and imagine the waves becoming softer and softer.
Everything being taken care of.
You're safe.
You're secure.
You're so deeply relaxed.
The ship gently rocking you into a deep,
Restful sleep.
The sound of the water is like a lullaby singing you to sleep.
You feel your body becoming lighter as if you're floating on a cloud.
The ocean is so calm and quiet that you hear your breathing is so soft and steady.
Each breath you take helps you relax even more.
As you feel yourself yawning and drifting into a beautiful,
Peaceful,
Deep sleep.
And as you sail on this calm ocean,
You begin to imagine seeing a beautiful island that your ship is getting closer to.
And in this dream,
You know it's your special island.
A place where you can rest and relax wherever and whenever you want.
This island has soft,
Sandy beaches and tall palm trees that sway gently in the breeze.
The crew of your ship steer toward the island knowing that when you arrive,
You can rest deeply and peacefully there or explore in this dream of this beautiful island.
The closer you get,
The sleepier you become until your ship gently comes to a stop on the shore.
And in this dream,
You step off the ship onto the soft,
Warm sand.
You can hear the gentle waves behind you and the sound makes you feel so calm and relaxed and sleeping.
You find a cosy spot on the beach under a big palm tree and you can lie on the sand and you can lie on the sand that's warm and comforting or you can find a hammock or a bed where you feel completely safe and relaxed.
And as you lie there,
The last bits of tension melting away from your body.
It's time to let go and drift away and drift off into a deep,
Peaceful sleep.
Feeling your body become heavier and heavier.
Thinking deeply and feeling so comfortable and safe.
And you know that as you sleep,
You'll have the most wonderful dreams.
Dreams of adventures on your ship,
Sailing to new and exciting places.
But for now,
It's time to rest.
Time to let go of everything and just drift into a deep,
Restful sleep.
And I'll count from five down to one and with every number,
You can feel even more relaxed.
Five,
Feeling so cosy and so comfortable.
Four,
Drifting deeper and deeper.
Three,
Your body is completely relaxed.
Two,
So calm and peaceful.
And one,
Just drifting off into a beautiful sleep.
Good night and sweet dreams.
You're safe and you feel beautifully relaxed.
So sleep well So sleep well and know that your ship will always be here to take you on new adventures anytime you want.
So just sleep and drift and have beautiful dreams.
