Hello lovely one and welcome to Divinely Distracted.
My name is Nadia and welcome to this quiet space made just for you.
This is a space for anybody with a busy mind,
A big imagination and a beautiful heart.
Here there is nothing you need to do,
Nothing you need to fix and nothing you need to get right.
Some minds move quickly,
Some thoughts sparkle and jump and that's not a problem here,
It's part of the magic.
Tonight this time is simply for slowing down,
Softening and resting.
You can listen with your eyes open or closed,
You can wiggle a little or be very still.
However your body feels right now is perfectly okay.
Just let yourself get cozy,
Let the day gently drift away and when you're ready we'll begin.
So let's begin with a slow breath.
Breathe in through your nose,
Slow and gentle and just breathe out through your mouth like a long sleepy sigh and again breathing in calm and breathing out the day.
That's so good.
Now imagine that night has just wrapped the world in a soft blanket.
The sky is dark and quiet and the air feels still above you is a wide peaceful sky filled with tiny twinkling stars and somewhere in this world is a beautiful little child and her name is Thea.
Thea is gentle,
Curious and full of imagination and like many children Thea's mind can feel very busy.
Thoughts popping in,
Ideas bouncing around,
Feelings moving quickly.
Sometimes that busy mind doesn't want to slow down at bedtime.
Tonight Thea is lying in her bed just like you and she is listening just like you.
As Thea looks up in her imagination she notices one star shining a little more softly than the others.
This star feels kind,
Safe,
Patient.
It's the kind of star that doesn't rush.
It never hurries anyone.
The star begins to glow with a warm golden light.
Not bright,
Just gentle.
Like a night like in the dark.
Slowly,
Very slowly the golden light drifts down through the sky.
There is no hurry.
The light moves at the speed of sleep.
The golden light reaches the top of Thea's head and softly touches her.
As it does,
Her thoughts begin to slow.
Not stopping,
Just stretching out like clouds drifting lazily across the sky.
The light flows gently down to her forehead,
Smoothing,
Soothing.
And her eyes,
They feel heavy now.
Soft,
Sleepy.
Her eyelids want to stay closed.
The golden glow moves to her cheeks,
And then her jaw,
And her mouth.
And then everything loosens,
And everything relaxes.
Her shoulders drop down,
Melting away from her ears,
As if they've been holding the day and are finally allowed to rest.
The light drifts down her arms,
All the way to her hands.
Her fingers feel warm and floppy,
Loose and relaxed.
Now,
The glow settles in her chest and her tummy,
And her breathing becomes slow,
Easy and gentle.
Each breath out makes her body feel heavier and heavier.
Like sinking into a soft mattress,
Or floating on calm water.
Her legs begin to feel sleepy too,
And her thighs,
And her knees,
And her calves,
All the way down to her feet.
And her toes feel warm and still.
The star whispers softly to Thea,
And to every child listening,
You don't need to try anymore.
Your busy mind is not a problem.
It's clever,
Creative,
And full of magic.
And now it's time to rest.
Thea feels safe hearing these words,
And she feels held,
As if the night itself is looking after her.
The star keeps watching quietly,
Twinkling gently,
And making sure that everything feels calm.
And if any thoughts pop into Thea's mind,
She doesn't need to follow them.
She can imagine placing them on a little cloud,
And letting the cloud drift away.
There is nothing to solve tonight.
The bed feels extra comfortable now,
And your blankets feel warm and just right.
The room feels quiet and peaceful,
And even the air feels sleepy.
The star gives one last loving message.
You are special just the way you are,
Thea.
You are loved,
Even when you're quiet.
Even when you're still.
And even when you're asleep.
Thea doesn't need to listen anymore.
She can simply drift,
Breathing in,
Slow,
And breathing out,
Long,
Soft.
With every breath out,
Her body sinks deeper into rest.
Sleep is welcome now.
Sleep knows exactly how to find you.
You are safe.
And you are calm.
And you are enough.
So sleep softly.
Sleep deeply.
Sleep peacefully.
And remember,
My thoughts are creative.
My imagination is powerful.
My mind has its own beautiful rhythm.
And being different is not wrong.
Different is divine.
And I am divinely distracted.
And that is part of my magic.
Good night.
