The Space Journey To Sleep

In a moment,

You will take a gentle and soothing journey through the galaxy,

Observing the peacefulness of space.

You will observe the planets,

The stars,

And begin to understand how everything is connected.

This is a very personal journey,

And one that will create synchronicity with yourself and the universe.

Resting in a comfortable position,

Follow the words in your mind.

It doesn't matter if you lose track of where you are in the meditation,

Just allow your mind to drift.

There is nothing to think about in this moment,

Your focus is now set on the settling down of your mind and body.

As you listen to this sleep meditation,

You may perhaps sleep a little deeper tonight,

A little more rested,

Comforted by your own intention of relaxing.

Slowly breathe in a breath of luxurious,

Smooth air.

Keeping the goodness of that breath,

Slowly release out any detrimental,

Unbalanced energy.

The first part of your body to put a close to your day is your eyes.

With one slow deep breath,

You deeply inhale your intentions of going to sleep,

And as you exhale even slower,

You calmly close your eyes.

As your chest deflates and your abdomen loosens,

Your shoulders melt and slide down your back.

Even if you are not quite ready to close your eyes,

You can allow them to automatically become heavier as you continue to relax.

Now imagine that all your worries are non existent.

This moment and the hours ahead are all yours.

Feel the freedom of not carrying the weight of overthinking or being stressed out.

You owe it to yourself.

To further your relaxation and start the process of sleep,

In your mind,

Imagine holding your worries in the air.

You may feel some resistance,

And they may seem heavy,

But you can do it.

All around is the essence of life,

Vibrations and energy of one universe,

All connected.

As you show the universe this weight that you carry and now relinquish,

It notices and you begin to feel a tingle in your hands.

The weight you hold up becomes lighter,

So much so that you loosen your grip a little.

As you watch and observe,

You feel and see an energy stream above.

It is pulling the weight of your worries from you and upwards.

As those heavy weights leave your hands,

Your arms feel great relief and loosen.

Your arms now heavy themselves from holding such weight,

They slowly descend down to your sides,

Sinking your shoulders deeply as they touch the surface they rest upon.

In let go of your worries,

You see them becoming smaller as they disappear into the energy stream above,

Ascending higher and higher until they dissolve into the background,

Being so far far away.

As they leave your sight,

The relief you feel inside affects your shoulders once more.

Your arms already heavy sink further into the soft material that you are positioned upon.

Your wrists limply loosen and your hands gently flop,

Dissolving any energy you have in your fingers.

Each breath now becoming deeper than the last,

The effect of letting go of all and everything holding you back from relaxing is truly blissful.

As your body continues to loosen,

Rest and reposition itself into comfort,

Your mind is now clear,

A headspace that can now be filled with positivity and sleepy thoughts.

As you lie there,

A portal appears in front of you.

Looking into the portal,

You see the galaxy,

With many stars shimmering from the various light sources around.

You see all the planets,

The sun,

The moon and the occasional comet floating through space.

Your body begins to feel the sensation of being lighter as you observe.

You are in awe at the beautiful scenery you immerse yourself in.

As you see more detail,

You start to float into the portal.

Calmly,

You allow your body to be lifted by your curiosity.

The weightless sensation instantly relaxes your shoulders.

Passing through and into space,

Your mind clears from the automatic response of your muscles loosening.

Now as you float in space,

You hear nothing.

No sound can be heard,

Or even any mind chatter,

But you instead feel the energy of the galaxy.

Far off,

You notice other star systems,

With their own light glowing to the beat of the universe.

Everything is silent.

You decide to take a journey by directing your body towards the first planet you see,

Which is Earth.

Drifting just out of orbit,

You see the blue water that covers most of this world,

The ice caps at either end,

And the green of vast lands.

The weather systems can be seen clearly from here.

Even a swirl over the Atlantic Ocean is visible.

Rainforests go on for miles,

Breathing life into this 4.

5 billion year old planet.

On this side of the Earth,

You can see everything as the light of the sun shines a torch.

Curious to see the other side,

You float around.

As you circle half of the 4,

000 mile radius,

The contrast between this side of the Earth is very different,

Being much darker from the lack of light.

Street lights are all you can observe.

Everyone on this side is asleep.

There is a sense of peace inside,

From looking down in this moment.

From observing Earth,

You feel grounded.

The closest object to the Earth is the moon,

Which can be seen glowing a white and yellow aura.

You decide to take a closer look.

You make your way to the orb.

Close up now,

You see where space rocks have collided,

Creating craters across most of the moon's surface.

Trails of perhaps ancient discoveries are etched deep into the ground.

This planet,

If you were to call it that,

Is quiet,

Motionless and in a state of just being.

Although it looks lifeless,

There is still energy within this sleepy globe.

You find that you are now doing the same as the moon,

Observing all that is around and enjoying being present.

You sense that your shoulders have now loosened,

And your back now free of any tension.

The moon looks as though it ponders as it drifts around in space.

As you take a moment to notice more details,

You sense that your breathing has calmed.

It is now in tune with the atmosphere and rhythm of space.

Here,

You feel a quiet contemplation of focus and clarity.

Away now,

You float onto Mars,

A red planet which is closest to Earth.

An oxide on Mars surface gives it that distinct colour.

Mars is second smallest,

Only to Mercury.

It has polar ice caps,

Much like Earth.

It also has valleys and craters where space debris has touched down.

As you drift around to see more,

You see the largest volcano on any planet,

The Olympus Mons.

Looking Mars from a distance,

Again you sense this planets energy.

It reminds you to be still in moments of overwhelm,

To take time for yourself and allow time for silence in gaining perspective.

In the middle of the red planet is a warm atmosphere of quiet,

Dusty land,

And either end polar ice caps.

Mars can be seen as a planet of direction.

As you circle the 2100 mile radius,

You move on,

Back through space.

The largest planet of the galaxy beckons you with its marble like appearance.

With its 43000 mile radius,

Jupiter dwarfs any of the other planets.

As you get closer,

You see movement from the gases and liquids in the storms that play out,

Some going on for centuries.

Layer after layer of clouds hypnotically drift across Jupiter in bands,

Often going in opposite directions.

Wandering around,

You liken this planet to any stresses of the outside,

In the form of the clouds that move,

But you are grounded enough underneath to observe composure.

In the distance,

You see the yellow earthy colour of Saturn.

You position yourself and float closer.

Now quite near,

You see a smooth round globe with rings that rotate around it.

You observe that there is no surface to be recognised due to the gases of hydrogen and helium.

Although being the 6th planet from the sun,

You would imagine that it would be slightly cooler.

In fact,

Saturn's heat can be felt as you watch from afar.

Underneath the cloud layer,

Temperatures of over 11000 degrees are generated,

Emitting its own warmth.

The rings that surround the unique looking planet are mostly composed of water ice and trace elements of other compositions.

You see this planet much like a thinking process,

So with the rotation and movement inside the gas clouds,

The rings keep your concerns at distance to allow you to think clearly.

Now floating a little further along the galaxy,

The blue haze of Uranus is observed.

The temperature on this planet is around 350 degrees,

Making this the coldest world in the universe.

With its blue aura is an ice mantle that stretch far and wide across its surface.

At nearly 4 times the size of Earth,

It is the only planet to rotate on its side.

Like the axis on which Uranus turns,

It is individual.

You can relate to this planet,

As everyone has individuality.

As you observe the energy of Uranus,

You feel comfortable with who you are on the inside.

Your own quirks,

Personality and way of doing things is different to everyone else.

Be free in who you are.

Release your own self.

Moving on through the stars,

Neptune,

The 8th and farthest planet from the sun is revealed.

Its almost mad blue colour and almost invisible 6 rings rotate.

On its surface,

Windstorms blow around in the gaseous atmosphere.

Mostly comprised of icy rock formations,

There is no solid surface to this planet.

It does however generate its own heat,

Although being 2.

7 billion miles from the warmth of the sun.

Feeling the energy of Neptune,

You look upon this planet as confidence and perseverance.

It survives from the work it does for itself and albeit in tune with the galaxy.

You feel a confidence build up inside yourself and can use this in times of unfamiliarity.

It's through being outside your comfort zone that you grow that confidence and become your true inner self.

Circling around Neptune,

Which is 17 times larger than Earth,

You make your way towards the sun.

Floating and drifting with the confidence of your own authenticity and personality,

You see Uranus,

Saturn,

Jupiter,

Mars and Earth once more.

Now feeling a little warmer from the sun's heat,

You venture on closely to Venus.

It shines brightly,

More so than any other planet,

Probably due to its volatile and reflective clouds.

This surface is desert like,

With rocks and a temperature of 860 degrees.

Any ocean that spanned this planet have since yet vaporised,

Along with any hydrogen that has escaped as temperatures rose.

Being the brightest star in space,

You once again relate to this planet's energy.

Taking in its ability to shine through the galaxy,

You see it as a sign of positivity.

You can feel the positive flow throughout your mind and throughout your whole body,

As perhaps your shoulders relax slightly.

Going around to the other side of Neptune,

Mercury can faintly be seen.

Mercury's surface is very similar to the moon,

Due to the large craters that can be observed.

Mercury is the smallest planet of the galaxy and is a hard and rocky place.

The unique thing about Mercury is that it rotates with the sun's orbit.

You begin to feel its energy and relate it to yourself.

When good things happen,

Or you want to improve your wellbeing,

You are gravitated towards warmth and safety.

This reminds you to take time for yourself,

So that you can re-gather your thoughts and touch base with who you are and what you want.

Now feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin,

You take in all the energy of the whole galaxy.

A positive and confident vibe is felt.

Now quite tired,

You head back to Earth.

On reaching your starting place,

You see the portal from which you travelled and float on through.

Slightly heavier,

You lie back where you were.

Everything is still,

Quiet and very calm.

You start to feel a little lighter as your face softens,

As the muscles from your jaw to your clavicle loosen,

Any tension from the bottoms of your ears to your shoulders dissolve.

Any tightness is let out with each exhalation.

You can now encourage more relaxation by allowing your head and neck to sink downwards.

Be kind to your inner wellbeing in this moment.

Trust in yourself to be capable of relaxing.

And as your head and neck begin to float on the lightest and most positive thoughts,

Any compression felt in the tops of your arms is released.

A loosening smooths over your shoulders,

Where your upper back automatically gives in to relief.

With your mind becoming increasingly calmer and your body continuing to let go,

You feel you can relax a little more.

Every breath now regular and well paced,

Your face softer and smoother than before.

As your chest rejects any pent up tension,

Your body and lower back sink into a most comfortable state.

Finding ease in these precious moments,

Your spine aligns,

Allowing your hips to encourage your legs to relax.

Your feet and toes now also feel free,

And with the peaceful atmosphere inside and all around,

You drift off to your own galaxy of restfulness.

As you breathe in the sleepy air that surrounds your body,

Inhale the quietness of night,

The peacefulness of a world that silently floats in a dreamy landscape.

Let worry,

Stress,

Anxiety and all other negative feelings fall away from your mind and body.

This time is yours.

Imagine in your mind that you are a planet seeking the solace of peace,

And your mind is the deep space that you float.

As you imagine your own body relaxing down,

Bringing peace with each sleepy breath,

Feel every part of you sink deeper into your bed.

As you sink deeper and begin to feel your muscles melt a little,

Your subconscious shows you a place in your mind that is silent,

Quiet and peaceful.

This corner of your mind is away from distracting thoughts that will help soothe your mind and gift you with a rejuvenating deep sleep that your body needs.

There is no need for worry,

Stress or anxiety,

This place you see in your mind is there for healing,

Comfort and rest.

Be gentle on yourself now as you feel your body become lighter,

Floating along in your own mind,

Your own subconscious.

Soft,

Tranquil and relaxed,

The energy that is you floats to this space of peace.

As your chest release all tension,

Beginning to let go completely now,

You automatically breathe your way to that quiet space.

Now in your mind,

You see a space away from everything,

A corner of your subconscious that provides only the sole focus of calming every muscle,

Every thought and every breath.

Even calmer now,

Your back is supported only by the gravity of relaxation,

Your legs floating on air.

Relaxing more as you go deeper into your subconscious mind,

You begin to experience bliss and tranquility,

Your mind clearer as you progress towards a soft haven of peaceful thoughts,

Allowing only gentle,

Relaxing and soothing sensations to manifest in every part of your body.

Passing the last remaining thoughts that swirl around your conscious and subconscious,

You enter further into this sleepy space.

Your eyes become heavier as you float inside,

Deeper into your subconscious area of peace.

With each and every breath,

Your eyes continue to be heavier,

Feeling rested,

Peaceful and safe.

Like a planet journeying the vast swathe of galaxies,

The pull of your own energy beckons you closer,

Floating effortlessly to a destination of a sleepy wonder.

In the corner of your mind that provides rest and acceptance of letting go,

You see a place of unhurriedness,

Calmness and tranquility.

As you edge nearer to this blissful state,

You feel a calmness consume your every thought and muscle.

The calming and soothing sensation you feel is like a waft of warmth greeting your skin.

As you separate yourself from the outside world and go deeper into your own,

You just let go.

Every thought quieter than the last.

This positive area of energy makes you feel limp with relief.

Floating in sleep,

There is no gravity.

You feel no pain,

No worry or stress of any kind.

Your body completely consumed with peace now,

Resting as light as a feather,

Drifting along being replenished.

Letting go more,

Relaxing blissfully as you float within the space between the outside world and your conscious mind,

Your subconscious absorbs every positive encouragement to sleep.

As you rest,

Your mind heals with aspects of perspective,

Distance and self love.

The more your mind automatically unties the binds of worry,

The more you relax,

Letting go deeper than the breath before.

A true feeling of being one with yourself is felt in every molecule that is you,

Every spark of energy and it goes deep into your soul.

Warm,

Relaxed and in a state of self comfort,

You fall asleep.

You gain strength with each and every passing remaining thought that leaves your mind as you let go more.

You can see representations of everything holding you back from relaxing in the distance.

Now they seem insignificant,

Small and unbothering.

You cannot feel their influence anymore,

Nor their words or their images.

You are in a space of complete safety.

As you rest,

Drifting off more and more,

All and everything begins to fade out.

Those distractions you see in the distance float out into another galaxy away from your personal space.

Gently relaxing,

You go deeper into this area of your subconscious and as you go deeper,

Your mind lets go of everything,

Sending you sleepier and more relaxed.

From head to toe you feel nothing but the relaxing sensations of sleep.

The quietness of this tranquil place is like nothing you have ever experienced and each visit here is more peaceful than the last.

Going deeper into that sleep state,

You completely let go.

As you rest sleepily and sleep restfully,

You release anything that doesn't serve a purpose.

From your head,

Any thoughts that may still linger can be sent out into the vast expanse of space,

Away from you and into the distance.

As you see them being released,

You watch them become smaller and as they fade out of sight,

Your mind calms to a very relaxed state.

As they disappear out,

Your face muscles droop sleepily,

Relaxing your eyes,

Cheeks and jaw.

As the muscles of your face surrender all energy,

You may be aware,

Or perhaps not,

Of your tongue peeling away from the roof of your mouth,

Your jaw slightly opening and your airways relaxing to allow more chest relieving breaths.

Your neck loosens,

Untying the muscles in your shoulders,

Feeling as though a weight has been lifted.

With the tops of your shoulders now cooler from the lack of tension,

Your arms completely flop into letting go.

Your shoulders now fresh with new oxygen,

More positive than ever,

And your rib cage lowering as you relax more on each breath.

Frustrations are released from your chest area,

Your back and your shoulders,

Allowing for new life giving oxygen to enter,

Replenishing every part of you.

Letting go of anxieties in your abdomen now,

You send that negative energy out into another galaxy,

One that is not yours,

Away and never to return.

Your anxieties are now on a one way trip into the distance,

Watching them fade out and away and relaxes any stirring you may have felt in your stomach.

You now feel a calmness,

A state of reassurance and peace within.

Into your hips and lower back,

Stress and the weights of life can now be let go,

Sending that non constructive energy out and away from you,

Your whole back relaxes deeply,

Leaving your eyes an even heavier feeling than before.

Sensing that energy being released,

You allow yourself to go deeper into your own space,

Deeper into the state of peace and sleep.

This corner of your subconscious now being accepted by yourself,

Safely comforts you as you sleep,

Sending you deeper with each and every breath that you take.

As you enter more into deep sleep,

Your legs down to your toes release into a state of slowing down.

Subtle movements you feel as you float deeper are reassuring and restorative.

As the last remaining negativities leave your body,

Your mind and body completely go deeper and just let go.

Ahead you see a cluster of light.

This is your true self and your true subconscious,

Your real energy.

Floating inward and orbiting these stars,

You see there is another galaxy in the middle,

Looking slightly like your third eye.

Knowing there is a blissfulness to be had,

When you finally enter this place,

You relax as you begin to float into your own subconscious.

As your body loosely floats,

Getting closer to this gateway of sleep,

You feel the immense pull of gravity pulling you downward into a serene state of being ever so relaxed.

Now sinking into this galaxy,

Into your own haven where nothing can disturb you,

Not even your own thoughts,

You release everything and surrender completely.

Going deeper,

You enter this new positive and healing space,

And the only thing you are aware of now is sleep.
