A warm welcome to this soothing sleep story.
Tonight,
You will meet the remarkable Peter Pan.
And over the course of the evening,
You will take flight through the night,
Passing over the skyline of your hometown and weaving across the stars on a magical,
Unforgettable adventure.
Before we begin,
We will do a short relaxation session,
Preparing you for a good night's sleep.
Please remember that there is no right or wrong here and there is no particular way that you should feel in these moments.
Each experience is as unique as us all,
So try to let go of any pressure you might be putting on yourself to feel certain things or perhaps to fall asleep quickly tonight.
It doesn't matter if you do or you don't.
If you simply follow my voice and allow this story to wash over you,
Then you will enter a world of deep relaxation.
Where you can rest and recover.
So,
When you are ready,
Just feel the eyelids becoming heavier and heavier with each passing blink,
Until they gently close.
Remind yourself that this is your time to relax.
There is nothing left to do and nothing left to think about.
The day is done now.
Whatever has happened is already in the past,
And here,
In this moment,
The future is beyond our reach.
So,
If thoughts arise about the day or the week that has been,
Or the days ahead of you,
Then acknowledge that these thoughts are completely normal and valid.
They are part of what makes us human,
Which is a wonderful thing.
But also kindly remind yourself that these thoughts or concerns are of no use to us now,
And tonight there is no need to engage with them.
They are simply thoughts,
As fleeting as shooting stars across a night sky.
You are safe tonight,
And you are protected.
You can be reassured by the fact that my voice and this story will never take you anywhere that is unpleasant.
Your sleepy cat is simply here to guide you on your own twilight adventures and to help you enter a world of magic and peace where you can be completely free.
And now,
We will do a short,
Guided breathing pattern called 3-4-5.
This will allow you to slow down and relax,
Preparing your body and your mind for a wonderful,
Peaceful rest.
When you are ready,
Breathe in through the nose for three.
Hold for 4.
And breathe out for five.
Let all of it go now.
Again,
That's in for three.
Hold for 4.
And release,
Blowing away the thoughts of yesterday,
Today and tomorrow.
Again,
In for three.
Home.
And let it go.
Continue to breathe in this way in your own time.
And with each breath out,
Allow your body to sink just that bit deeper.
And now allow your breath to fall back into a natural rhythm.
Enjoy this new relaxation and peace flowing through your body.
Allow your mind to soften and your imagination to come alive.
As you take flight with Peter Pan.
It is the early hours of the morning.
Not long after the stroke of midnight,
To be precise.
And you are lying in your bed struggling a little bit just to settle down.
A desire for adventure is running through you,
And right now you wish you could be whisked off somewhere magical.
Somewhere far away and somewhere filled with enchantment and safety.
Your eyes scan your room gently and there is a lovely stillness in the air tonight.
You are drawn to your bedroom window,
Open just a touch,
Allowing a cool midnight breeze to creep in.
But outside the window,
You notice a streetlight pulsing through the gap in your curtain.
And,
Feeling as though a streetlight probably shouldn't be pulsing,
You decide to investigate.
You shuffle over to your window.
Draw back the curtains.
And instantly,
The pulsing disappears.
The streetlight seems to be off.
Well,
It's probably broken then.
Nothing strange about that.
And yet,
A curiosity takes over you and you decide just to double check outside.
Holding on to the windowsill,
You peep out your head and look down at the street below.
Still,
There is nothing.
It is peaceful.
And quiet.
All is as normal.
You come back inside.
Shut your window and close your curtains.
And that is when you see it.
All over your hands and now on the curtains as well is a very fine gold dust.
Finer than sand and softer too.
It is warm as you rub it between your fingers.
You have never seen anything like this before.
It is very unusual.
But there is something about this gold dust that is incredibly comforting.
Just then,
There is a very gentle tapping at your window.
With a slight hesitation,
You open the curtains once more.
But still,
Nothing is there.
You push open your window again.
And suddenly,
In a flash,
A ball of light whizzes inside and starts to circle around your bedroom.
Illuminating all of your furniture in a soft golden spotlight.
You feel the urge to walk towards it,
Slowly,
Yes,
But not afraid,
Not one bit.
You hold out your hand and gradually the golden light circles down from the ceiling.
And lands perfectly in your palm.
The glow dims,
And as the light fades,
You are met by a tiny fairy.
You have read all about this magical fairy and recognize her straight away.
Of course,
It is Tinkerbell.
It has been so long since you heard anything about Tinkerbell that you almost stopped believing she was real.
As if hearing your thoughts,
The fairy gives a sassy flick of her hair,
Insisting that she is in fact real,
And that Tink will be fine.
Thank you very much.
Tink it is then.
Your thoughts start to wander as you piece together the puzzle.
So,
If you're here,
Then does that mean… You turn back to the window,
And there he stands.
The hero and the protector of so many childhoods.
Peter Pan.
For a moment,
You are stunned into silence.
He looks exactly how you imagined.
And immediately you feel so comforted by his presence.
As if Peter Pan just existing means that everything will be okay.
Peter reaches out his hand to you.
And you cannot believe what he is holding.
It is something from your childhood.
Something incredibly special to you.
A treasured artifact from all those years ago.
And suddenly,
All the wonderful memories come flooding back.
There is nothing else that you can think to do but walk up to Peter and give him the biggest hug you can possibly give.
Whispering a thank you in his ear as you embrace.
But how did he know,
You ask?
Peter simply smiles and reminds you that it's never too late to stop growing up.
And that he is here to help you with that tonight.
He knows that it's not been easy lately.
He thinks that a little bit of magic might do the trick.
Come on,
" he adds,
It's time for your adventure.
With a gesture from Peter,
Tink starts to fly around you.
Starting at your feet.
And swirling all the way to the top of your head.
A soft,
Shimmering gold dust surrounds you now.
Almost like a protective bubble.
This will let you fly,
" Peter says,
Now crouched on the windowsill.
He holds out a hand to you once more,
A mischievous grin on his face.
Well,
What are you waiting for?
A surge of adventure.
Wonder,
And childhood joy ripple through you.
And without another hesitation you take his hand.
Your feet become as light as a feather.
Your body becomes weightless as you lift very gently off the floor.
Tink will lead the way,
Peter whispers to you.
Her magic will protect you tonight.
And you will be safe up there with me.
Ready?
1.
Too.
Three.
You leap from the window,
Holding Peter's hand.
You feel so supported underneath you that it's almost like landing on an invisible staircase.
Together,
You start to glide up and above the rooftops.
You are flying.
You are actually flying.
It is a dream come true.
For a minute now as you drift above the houses of your hometown.
You just take in all of the magic that has unfolded tonight.
Reliving every single detail.
And etching this incredible moment in your memory forever.
Above,
The sky is so clear.
So vibrant.
And full of infinite stars,
All pulsing in their own rhythm.
Peter reassures you that he is actually friends with quite a few of the stars.
And that with their help,
You will be in Neverland in no time.
Never learn.
The place where dreams come alive.
Where time stands still.
And where the magic of childhood lives on eternally.
Below you,
Now,
You can make out a few of the key landmarks of your home.
And you take some time to tell Peter all about your life here.
The things you enjoy doing.
Places you like to visit.
And the people who are special to you.
As you chat away,
Peter simply smiles,
Taking in all that you are saying.
Then he squeezes your hand just a little tighter and takes you just a little higher.
The light of tink is fluttering just ahead of you,
And the shimmering gold dust still wraps around you.
You feel completely safe up here,
Knowing that you are guarded by Tink and Peter.
And protected by all of these wonderful enchantments.
You give permission for your body to relax.
For your thoughts to dissolve.
And for your soul to be soothed.
You allow yourself to trust in this moment.
To trust in this magic.
And to surrender to all the beauty of this moment.
There are a few wisps of clouds around you.
And one by one,
Peter points at them,
Speaking the name of an animal.
With each cloud he points at.
It changes shape.
And perfectly morphs into the animal he names.
All of a sudden,
You are surrounded by clouds shaped like giant birds.
Cats and dogs.
Monkeys.
Elephants,
Giraffes,
And so many more.
As you and Peter start to chuckle together uncontrollably.
Give it a try,
He insists.
And so you do.
Cloud after cloud you point to.
And shout the name of some of your favorite animals.
You watch in amazement as the clouds pop around you.
Transforming into the animals of your choosing.
And it is in this moment that you are filled once again with the wonder of youth.
And the magic of childhood imaginations.
Before you know it,
The world below you is moving further and further away.
And you are drifting up even higher towards the infinite sea of stars.
As you get closer,
Many of them start to pulse faster and brighter.
Welcoming you to their corner of the sky.
And guiding your flight tonight.
Tink hops from star to star.
Collecting more of her fairy dust.
And,
As she hops,
She leaves a trail of falling gold dust in her wake.
That trickles down over you.
And be.
Bye,
Bitch.
You feel every single part of your body softening.
Your left foot.
Your right foot.
Your left calf.
Your right calf.
Your left knee.
Your right knee.
Your left hamstring.
Your right hamstring.
Your left thigh.
Your right thigh.
Your buttocks muscles.
Your lower back.
Your entire spine,
Up and down.
The muscles across your back.
Your stomach.
And your breath.
Your chest.
Your right shoulder.
Your left shoulder.
Your right bicep.
Tricep.
And elbow.
Your left bicep.
Tricep.
Elbow.
Your right forearm and wrist.
Your left forearm and wrist.
Your right hand and fingers.
Your left hand and fingers.
Your neck.
Your throat and round the back of your neck.
Your chin and your jaw.
Your lips.
Your mouth and your tongue.
Your nose and your cheeks.
Behind your ears and round the back of your head.
Your eyes.
Your brow.
And your forehead.
You are in a state of complete tranquility.
You have let go of all worries and all tensions.
These are not welcome here.
Your body is relaxing.
So deeply.
Your breath is slowing down,
And your eyes are growing just that bit wider.
Heavier.
The stars are enveloping you like a healing blanket and you know you can fully trust them.
You can fully let go.
You continue to hold Peter's hand and you let him lead you now.
You are simply floating,
Simply drifting almost in slow motion across this perfect night sky.
You know you can sleep if you want to,
Peter whispers.
I will guide us all the way to Neverland,
And Tink will guard your dreams,
Keeping them pure and beautiful.
And when you wake up we will be arriving at my home.
And there,
Even more magic awaits you.
You trust these comforting words.
You trust the gold dust wrapping around you.
You trust the stars leading the way.
You trust Tink watching over you.
And above all,
You trust Peter Pan.
Your thoughts drift to the adventures ahead,
Waiting for you in Neverland.
You allow the images of mischief,
Magic,
And play to weave through your mind as you give yourself final permission to surrender.
You are going deeper.
Deeper and deeper.
You are moving so effortlessly towards the land of sleep,
Where a whole host of incredible dreams are waiting for you.
It is safe for you to fall asleep.
It is safe for you to fall asleep.
It is safe for you to fall asleep.
