Hello my friend,
It's bedtime now,
Let's get comfortable.
Wiggle your toes,
Let your arms rest down,
And let your head sink into your pillow.
Take a slow breath in through your nose,
Hold it,
And blow out gently through your mouth.
One more time,
Big breath in,
And out.
Can you feel your body relaxing already?
Your shoulders drop,
Your arms feel heavy,
And your legs get softer and softer.
Now imagine above you,
The sky is dark and clear.
You see tiny twinkling stars,
Millions of them,
Shining just for you.
One star drifts slowly down,
Like a feather,
It lands on your toes.
Warm and glowing,
Your toes feel soft and sleepy.
Another star floats down and rests on your legs.
Your legs feel heavy,
Cozy,
Calm.
One more star lands on your belly,
Glowing like a gentle nightlight.
It helps your tummy feel safe and still.
Another star lands on your chest,
Spreading warmth through your heart.
You feel loved and cared for.
More stars keep coming,
Covering your arms,
Your hands,
Your neck,
And finally your head.
Now you are wrapped in a blanket made of stars.
This star blanket keeps you safe.
It glows just enough for you to feel comfort,
But not so much that it keeps you awake.
It hums a soft,
Wordless lullaby,
The kind you don't have to remember,
The kind that just makes you feel calm inside.
Notice how the blanket feels.
Light,
Sparkly,
Warm.
It wraps around every part of you.
Your toes,
Your legs,
Your belly,
Your chest,
Your arms,
Your head,
All tucked in.
Now you don't have to do anything.
The star blanket will hold you.
The stars will keep you safe.
If a thought pops into your head,
Let it float away,
Like a star drifting across the sky.
You are safe.
You are wrapped in starlight,
And now it's time to rest.
Good night,
My friend.
Sweet dreams.
