Welcome to this calming sleep story.
Go ahead and get yourself as comfortable as possible maybe grabbing a pillow or a blanket and whenever feels good closing your eyes,
Letting your whole body rest and sink into the surface that you are on,
Letting your entire body get heavy and sleepy.
Let's start by relaxing our entire bodies,
Focusing now on your head,
Imagining that there's a beautiful blue light shining above your head and as this blue light moves across your body slowly it relaxes each part of your body starting with your head.
Can you relax all of the muscles on your face like your jaw,
Noticing if you can relax your mouth,
Your cheeks,
Your eyebrows,
Relaxing your shoulders allowing them to drop down,
Relax both of your arms as this blue light starts to move across them both,
Relaxing each and every one of your fingers.
This blue light moves down your chest,
This blue light moves down across your belly,
Down your right leg and down your left leg,
Across both of your knees and your ankles,
Across the top of your feet,
Across the top of your feet,
All the way down to the tips of your toes.
Your whole body is full of this bright blue light,
Taking a nice big inhale through your nose like you were smelling a flower and then exhale out like you were blowing out some birthday candles.
You can rest here now as we go on a sleepy adventure to visit the shining stars,
Imagining now that you have been invited to take a rocket ship up into space.
You feel so excited as you put on your spacesuit that is of course in your favorite color.
As you step onto the spaceship you see other astronauts getting the spaceship ready,
Pushing all kinds of buttons,
Using all sorts of gadgets you've never seen before.
You feel safe here,
You feel excited and ready for this incredible adventure of a lifetime.
You sit down in your chair and you get all strapped in with your seat belt.
You are so ready for takeoff.
You begin to feel the spaceship rumble and all of a sudden you hear three,
Two,
One,
Take off.
All of a sudden you head up into the sky,
Up,
Up and away.
How do you feel?
This is so much fun.
After a few minutes you look out the window and you begin to see all kinds of different bright lights.
You soon realize that these are stars.
As you get closer and closer they get bigger and bigger.
There must be hundreds of these shining stars.
You feel so much joy and so much amazement in your body.
You decide to put on some special sunglasses as the stars get so so bright.
You stare at their beauty for just a bit longer.
You feel calm here,
You feel safe here,
You feel relaxed here.
You take a big breath in through your nose and then you let out a nice soft exhale from your mouth.
In your head repeating after me,
I am calm,
I am safe,
I am relaxed.
I am calm,
I am safe,
I am relaxed.
I am calm,
I am calm,
I am safe,
I am relaxed.
You decide to stay up in space just a little bit longer and whenever you're ready you can come back to earth.
But for now you continue to enjoy the beauty of space,
Exploring the stars,
The planets,
The galaxies and seeing where that takes you as you begin to slowly drift off to sleep.
