A Sleep Meditation So Deep, Hear The Voice Of The Universe

Welcome,

Dear traveler.

As you prepare to embark on tonight's adventure,

A voyage into tranquil realms and endless possibilities,

Let this moment be your bridge between the waking world and the serene landscapes of your dreams.

Allow yourself to gently transition from the busyness of the day to the calm expanses of your imagination.

Tonight we begin a journey unlike any other,

A journey into stillness,

Peace,

And boundless tranquility.

Find a comfortable position,

Whether you're nestled in your bed or sitting in a favorite chair.

Let the surface beneath you fully support your body.

Feel the softness cradling you,

As if the very air around you has been woven into a gentle embrace.

Take this time to let go of the day,

Allowing yourself to settle into the here and now.

Now,

If you haven't already,

Gently close your eyes.

Turn your attention inward.

Let's begin by imagining a soft,

Fluffy cloud,

Floating just above your heart's center.

This cloud glows with a radiant light,

Not too bright,

But soothing,

Warm,

And peaceful.

It feels like a familiar presence,

As though it has always been with you,

Waiting for this moment to envelop you in its comfort.

As you breathe in,

Feel this glowing cloud begin to expand.

With each inhale,

It grows lighter,

Softer,

And larger,

Filling your chest with a warm sense of ease.

With each exhale,

It carries away tension,

Stress,

And any heaviness you may have been holding.

Inhale deeply,

Letting the cloud fill your heart with light.

Exhale slowly,

Letting that light spread throughout your entire body.

Feel the cloud rise gently,

Flowing up to your shoulders and spreading down your arms.

It unfurls like a soft mist,

Releasing any tension you've been carrying.

Your shoulders drop as the cloud's lightness eases them.

The glow continues its journey,

Drifting upward to your neck,

Jaw,

And face.

It softens every muscle,

Soothing your brow and easing the corners of your mouth.

Your eyelids feel heavy now,

As though the cloud is inviting them to rest.

Now,

The cloud begins to cascade downward,

Moving through your chest and back.

It flows effortlessly with each breath,

Soothing every part of you.

As it reaches your stomach,

Your hips,

And your thighs,

It invites these areas to release,

To soften,

To let go.

With each breath,

The cloud's lightness fills you,

Bringing deeper and deeper relaxation.

Feel it travel further now,

Wrapping around your knees,

Flowing down through your calves,

And finally reaching your feet.

From the top of your head to the tips of your toes,

Your entire being is now enveloped in this warm,

Calming cloud.

Notice how light your body feels,

As if it could float effortlessly,

Yet you remain deeply grounded in this moment of peace.

With your body at ease,

Let's shift focus to your breath.

Inhale deeply,

Drawing in the crisp,

Refreshing air of a serene night.

Hold it gently for a moment,

Then exhale slowly,

Releasing any lingering tension.

Feel the remnants of the day drifting away,

Like wisps of vapor dissolving into the sky.

Inhale calm and clarity,

Exhale and let go.

As your breathing settles into this steady rhythm,

Imagine now that the cloud begins to lift you.

It's soft,

Secure and supportive,

Carrying you gently upward.

You're floating,

Weightless and free.

Below you,

The landscape stretches out,

Serene and beautiful.

Picture yourself gliding over a tranquil forest,

Where the treetops sway in rhythm with the evening breeze.

Or perhaps you're drifting above a vast ocean,

The waves shimmering under the moonlight,

Their whispers guiding you toward stillness.

Maybe you find yourself ascending higher still into the starlight,

Where constellations twinkle like guiding beacons.

Feel the anticipation of this journey,

Not a rush but a quiet hum of excitement.

The cloud carries you,

Effortlessly,

Always at the perfect pace.

You are the traveler,

The dreamer,

The explorer of boundless realms.

This is your moment to rest,

To breathe and to trust in the magic of the unknown.

For now,

Simply savor this peaceful pause.

Let yourself sink deeper into the comfort of your sanctuary,

Knowing that whatever lies ahead will gently guide you towards rest,

Renewal and serenity.

The glowing cloud will carry you safely,

Wrapping you in its warmth as you drift toward your dreams.

When you're ready,

Let your breath lead you,

Bridging the gap between this stillness and the unfolding journey.

And now,

Dear traveler,

With your body at rest and your mind open,

Let us begin our journey.

Good evening,

Dear traveler of dreams.

Tonight,

Let us reflect on the profound words of Rumi.

There is a voice that doesn't use words.

Listen.

There is a voice that doesn't use words.

Listen.

There is a voice that doesn't use words.

Listen.

Let us allow this thought to plant its seed within us and be our guiding star as we navigate the passage to restful sleep.

Let's begin our journey towards tranquility.

A peaceful sleep by releasing the day,

Inch by inch,

Moment by moment.

Close your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so.

Take a slow,

Deep breath.

Filling your lungs fully,

Holding it for a moment,

And then gently releasing it.

Feel the tension in your body starting to dissipate,

Like waves receding back into a calm,

Serene sea.

Again,

Take another deep breath.

Hold,

And exhale slowly.

With each exhale,

Let go of any worries,

Any stresses that you might be holding onto.

Visualize them drifting away like clouds in the sky,

Leaving only the vast openness behind.

Now imagine a soft,

Warm,

Comforting blanket of relaxation gradually enveloping you.

Starting from your feet,

Rising up through your legs,

Covering your torso,

And extending to your arms,

Hands,

Neck,

And finally,

Your head.

Every part of you is gently touched by this calming energy,

Like a mother's soothing lullaby.

Now that your body is relaxed,

Your mind finds itself in a quiet garden,

The garden of the night.

This is your sanctuary,

A haven of tranquility,

Where the day's chatter fades away.

You are here,

Safe,

Serene,

Cradled in the arms of the night.

In a few moments,

I will share with you a profound and enlightening quote by Rumi.

Let the rhythm of these words create gentle waves in the stillness of the pond of your mind.

Feel them ripple outward,

Touching every corner of your being with a tender whisper of peace.

Let these words accompany your journey through the night,

Where the moon and the stars are your guiding lights.

Here,

You'll find your heart's tranquility,

Your mind's stillness,

And your soul's serenity.

Let's embark on this journey together,

And let the soothing verses lull you into a gentle,

Peaceful sleep.

As you settle into a state of relaxed awareness,

Let your breath be your anchor,

A gentle reminder of the here and now.

In this space of tranquility,

Turn your inner ear to the profound wisdom of Rumi's words.

There is a voice that doesn't use words.

Listen.

Let these words resonate within you,

Their meaning unfolding like the petals of a night-blooming flower.

Rumi invites us into a realm of deep listening,

To a voice beyond words,

A voice that speaks in the silent language of the soul.

There is a voice that doesn't use words.

Picture yourself in a serene,

Sacred space,

Perhaps under a starlit sky or beside a gently flowing stream.

In this place,

The hustle and bustle of the world fade away,

Leaving only the heartbeat of the earth,

The whisper of the wind,

The rhythm of your breath.

This voice without words is all around you and within you.

It is the quiet hum of existence,

The soft murmur of life unfolding in and through you.

It speaks in the language of feelings,

Of intuition,

Of subtle inner stirrings that guide and inform.

As you breathe in deeply,

Invite yourself to become more attuned to this voice.

Let each breath draw you away from the chatter of the mind,

The constant stream of thoughts,

Judgments,

And analysis.

Instead,

Sink into the realm of pure being,

Where knowledge is felt,

Not formulated into words.

Listen.

This single word from Rumi is a powerful instruction.

To listen to the voice without words is to attune to the subtlest vibrations of your being.

It's to hear the wisdom of your heart,

The whispers of your deepest self,

The guidance of your spirit.

In this moment of stillness,

Let your listening expand.

Notice the sensations in your body,

The warmth,

The tingling,

The lightness or heaviness.

These are the wordless communications of your physical self,

Messages to be received and understood.

Listen to your emotions,

The gentle ebb and flow of feelings that move through you.

They speak a language without syntax,

A poetry of the soul that reveals your innermost desires,

Fears,

Joys,

And sorrows.

As you continue to breathe,

To relax,

To listen,

Consider how often we overlook this voice,

Distracted by the noise of our hectic lives.

We chase after the explicit,

The articulated,

Ignoring the profound insights that silence offers.

Imagine,

In your mind's eye,

Turning down the volume of the world,

Turning off the incessant commentary of the mind,

And tuning into the deep,

Resonant frequency of the heart and soul.

In this frequency,

There is a wisdom that needs no words,

A knowing that transcends language.

As you drift closer to sleep,

Let this practice of listening deepen.

Allow the boundaries between yourself and the voice without words to blur.

Become one with this voice,

Understanding that it is an intrinsic part of who you are,

A guide that leads you to your truth.

In this sacred communion with a voice that doesn't use words,

Find comfort and guidance.

It is here,

In this stillness,

That you can hear the whispers of your true path.

Feel the pull of your destiny.

Understand the lessons life is teaching you.

This voice is a reminder that not all knowledge comes in words,

That true understanding often lies beyond the reach of language.

It invites you to experience life more fully,

More richly,

With a deeper sense of awareness and connection.

As you prepare to cross the bridge to sleep,

Carry this sense of deep listening within you.

Let it guide you through the landscapes of your dreams,

Revealing truths,

Unlocking mysteries,

Offering insights.

Sleep peacefully,

Knowing that,

In the silence of the night,

The voice without words continues to speak,

To sing,

To whisper its timeless wisdom.

Let it be your companion in the quiet hours,

A gentle guide through the world of dreams.

And when you awaken,

Remember this voice and its wordless wisdom.

Let it inform you in your days,

Guide your choices,

And lead you along a path of deeper understanding and connection.

Rest now in the embrace of night,

Comforted by the knowledge that there is a voice that doesn't use words,

And you have the power to listen to it tonight and every night.

Good night.

As the final notes of this love song to your soul gently fade,

Allow yourself to sink even deeper into the embrace of this serene and sacred night.

Your body is a landscape of tranquility,

And your mind a clear and starlit sky.

Each breath you take is a soft,

Whispered lullaby from the universe,

Affirming that you are safe,

Loved,

And beautiful.

Imagine now that with each exhale,

You are sinking further into the tender arms of sleep,

As if you are being cradled by the night itself,

Like a feather,

Light and free,

Drifting slowly,

Gently,

Effortlessly downward into the soft,

Welcoming depths of slumber.

With every breath,

Feel yourself becoming a part of the night's tapestry,

Woven with dreams and drenched in peace.

Here,

In this space,

You are adored beyond measure,

A cherished part of the universe,

Drifting into the deepest,

Most nourishing sleep.

As I leave you now in this blissful state,

Remember that this peace,

This love,

Is always here for you,

As a constant,

As stars above,

And as close as your own heart.

Good night,

Dear soul.

May your dreams be sweet,

And your rest complete.

Sleep with grace.

Welcome,

Dear soul.

You have arrived at the threshold of deep stillness,

A place beyond doing,

Beyond striving.

Beyond the weight of yesterday.

Here,

You are invited to soften everything.

Take a slow,

Effortless breath in,

And as you exhale,

Imagine dissolving,

Like mist,

Into the vast,

Open sky.

Let yourself fall.

Fall into softness.

Fall into the arms of nothingness.

Fall into the truth that has always waited quietly within you.

You are not your name.

You are not the story you have carried.

You are not the thoughts that flicker like fireflies in the mind.

You are the space between the stars.

You are the silence between each heartbeat.

Let each breath now be a gentle unraveling.

Inhale,

Sensing the openness within.

Exhale,

Surrendering every label,

Every role,

Every expectation.

Let them drift away,

Like petals carried by a river you no longer need to swim against.

Allow the idea of self to loosen,

To drift,

To fade.

Beyond all definitions,

There is only spaciousness.

Breathe there.

Be there.

With each moment,

Feel yourself becoming lighter,

As if the Earth itself is letting go of its hold on you,

And you are rising.

Rising into pure being.

There is no effort in this rising.

It is not a reaching.

It is a returning.

Returning to the place you never truly left.

Feel how vast you are.

Feel how timeless.

Stretching beyond edges.

Blending into the quiet immensity of all things.

The clouds do not struggle to form.

The rivers do not force themselves to flow.

The stars do not try to shine.

And you,

Dear one,

Do not need to strive to be.

You already are.

Notice the gentle hum of existence.

Notice the steady breath of life itself,

Flowing through you,

As you,

Without effort.

You were never the wave.

You were always the ocean.

You were never the cloud.

You were always the sky.

Now,

Sense your boundaries dissolving even further.

The edges of your body growing soft,

As if you were blending into the very fabric of the night.

Feel the breath moving through you,

As if the universe itself is breathing you.

Inhale spaciousness.

Exhale surrender.

There is no separation here.

There is only the vast,

Luminous dance of being.

Feel the soft rhythm of your existence.

A rhythm older than time.

Wider than thought.

More tender than any name you have ever worn.

You are not becoming anything new.

You are remembering what has always been.

Vast,

Whole.

There is a peace here,

Deep and endless.

A peace that does not depend on understanding,

Or achieving,

Or fixing anything.

It simply is.

And so are you.

Rest now,

Dear traveler.

Let the final remnants of form drift away,

Until only pure being remains.

No story.

No striving.

No separation.

Only spaciousness,

Holding you like the cradle of the stars.

Breathing you.

Being you.

Loving you into endlessness.

You have arrived in the sacred space.

A place where breath and being become one.

There is nothing you must do now.

Nothing you must become.

Only breathe,

And allow the breath to reveal to you what has always been.

Feel the inhale as it rises within you.

Not as something separate,

But as the life force of the infinite itself.

The same breath that stirs the oceans moves through you.

The same breath that births stars moves through you.

Let the breath be slow.

Let it be deep.

Let it be easy.

There is no urgency here.

Only the soft,

Eternal rhythm of existence unfolding through you.

Inhale,

And feel yourself expanding outward.

As wide and boundless as the open sky.

Exhale,

Feel yourself sinking inward,

Into the infinite depths of your being.

Each breath a wave.

Rising.

Floating.

Falling.

Merging.

With every inhale,

Welcome the vastness of the cosmos into your heart.

With every exhale,

Release the illusion that you are ever separate from it.

You are breathing the same breath as the trees,

The rivers,

As the distant galaxies beyond sight.

One breath.

One life.

One boundless being.

Let the breath grow,

Even lighter now.

As if you are barely breathing.

As if the breath itself is breathing you.

Feel the boundaries of your body becoming soft.

As if you are dissolving into mist.

Becoming the space between breaths.

Becoming the quiet pulse of existence.

Inhale,

Sensing the entire universe rising within you.

Exhale,

Sensing the entire universe sighing within you.

There is no you and it.

There is only one vast aliveness.

Moving.

Sighing.

Singing through this breath.

Each inhale,

An embrace.

Each exhale,

A surrender.

You are both the lover and the beloved.

The wave and the ocean.

The spark and the infinite flame.

Breathe as the earth breathes.

Breathe as the stars breathe.

Breathe as the eternal breathes.

There is no past to return to.

There is no future to reach.

Only this breath.

Only this spaciousness.

Endless now.

Feel how the breath softens everything it touches.

The mind loosens.

The heart opens.

The body melts.

Into peace.

You are lighter now.

More expansive.

Less attached to form.

More attuned to essence.

Inhale and imagine yourself dissolving into the golden glow of the morning sky.

Exhale and imagine yourself sinking into the deep stillness of the ancient earth.

You are both the rising and the falling.

You are both the journey and the home.

Breathe in.

Feel the universe creating itself anew through you.

Breathe out.

Feel yourself resting in the arms of forever.

If thoughts arise,

Bless them like passing clouds and return to the breath.

Breath.

Gentle.

Spacious.

Infinite.

You are not your thoughts.

You are not your fears.

You are not your roles or your striving.

You are this breath.

This vastness.

This quiet miracle of unfolding.

Feel how in this space,

Nothing is missing.

Nothing is broken.

Nothing needs fixing.

You are complete.

You are whole.

You are the breath of the infinite,

Remembering itself through this moment.

Stay here,

Dear one.

Floating.

Breathing.

Being.

Let the breath weave you into the fabric of everything.

Let it cradle you like the ancient songs cradle the stars.

Softly now,

Feel yourself becoming more luminous,

More formless,

More free.

Each breath a brushstroke,

Painting your being across the canvas of eternity.

There is no ending to you.

There is no edge where you stop and life begins.

Each breath a brushstroke,

Painting your being across the canvas of eternity.

You are the breath and the space between the breaths.

You are the vast,

Shimmering silence that holds it all.

Rest in this knowing.

Bask in this truth.

You are the breath of the infinite.

You are the infinite itself.
