Good evening,
Bonsoir,
And welcome to Big Belly Breathing.
Bienvenue to health.
My name is Vanessa
Hutchinson-Zecherle and I'm delighted to guide you on this soothing bedtime journey filled with
mindfulness and gentle breathing.
As you settle into your cozy bed,
Imagine yourself in the
vibrant neighborhood of Castro in San Francisco.
Thank you so much,
Dear listeners,
Timo and Laurel,
For inspiring this historic San Francisco neighborhood.
Close your eyes and take a slow,
Calming breath in through your nose.
Exhale,
Releasing any lingering tension from the day.
Tonight,
We embark on a nighttime adventure,
Gliding down the famous slides tucked away in
neighborhood parks.
Picture yourself on a serene,
Sleepy stroll through the Castro,
Where the
streets are quiet and the city is settling down for the night.
Our first stop is at the iconic
slides.
With each step,
You feel the soft,
Cool breeze and hear the hushed whispers of the night.
As you approach the slides,
You notice a gentle glow guiding you to a secret entrance.
Climbing
to the top,
You take a moment to feel the smooth surface beneath your hands.
Ready for a sleepy
descent,
You slide down,
Allowing the gentle slope to carry you effortlessly.
With each twist
and turn,
You feel a sense of calm washing over you.
The twinkling city lights below create a
magical atmosphere and you ride the slides into a realm of tranquility.
As you glide down the
neighborhood slides,
A magical encounter unfolds.
A friendly sky dolphin joins our sleepy adventure,
Gracefully navigating the air as if it were water.
With a gentle inhale,
Visualize the
dolphin elegantly descending the slide beside you,
Its playful spirit creating ripples of joy.
As you exhale,
Mimic the dolphins rhythmic breathing.
Inhaling through your blowhole
and exhaling with a soft,
Melodic whistle.
Together,
You and the sky dolphin continue
your journey,
The night embracing your playful connection.
This enchanting encounter adds a
touch of mysticalness to your tranquil descent,
Creating a memory of joy that lingers in the
sleepy night air.
As we conclude our slide adventure,
We find ourselves at the base of
Twin Peaks.
With a gentle inhale,
Envision ascending the hills,
Your steps light and
effortless.
And then exhale,
Letting go.
At the summit,
You're greeted by a soft,
Glowing light that wraps you in a cozy embrace.
Next,
We float above the hills,
Soaring peacefully
through the night sky.
You're weightless,
Drifting among the stars and feeling a sense of serenity.
The city below becomes a sparkling mosaic and the cool night air caresses your face.
Now,
Let's deepen our relaxation by connecting with the enchantment of the San Francisco night.
Inhale
the soothing whispers of the Pacific breeze.
And exhale,
Letting go of any lingering thoughts.
Inhale the calm whispers of the bay.
Exhale,
Release.
Inhale the gentle sway of eucalyptus
trees.
Exhale,
Drift softly.
Inhale the distant hum of city life.
Exhale,
Be at ease.
Inhale the
peaceful lullaby of the ocean.
Exhale,
Embrace renewal.
As our sleepy adventure comes to a close,
Imagine slowly descending back into your cozy bed,
Carried by the night breeze.
You're wrapped in a
comforting blanket of tranquility,
Ready to welcome a restful night's sleep.
Good night,
Dreamy
adventure.
May your dreams be filled with serenity and joy under the starlit San Francisco sky.
Sleep
well,
And I'll be here for our next bedtime journey.
Bonne nuit.
