Welcome,

Dear traveler,

To the River of Dreams.

Here,

The waters of tranquility intertwine with the timeless wisdom of Rumi,

Guiding you to a restful haven.

Begin by settling into a comfortable position.

Allow your body to relax,

Letting go of any tensions or worries from the day.

Close your eyes and imagine yourself sitting on the bank of a gentle river.

The water flows with grace,

Mirroring the sky's hues of dusk,

Shades of pink,

Purple,

And gold dancing on the water's surface.

The gentle ripples create mesmerizing patterns,

Leading your thoughts into a reflective state.

Rumi once said,

Don't be satisfied with stories,

How things have gone with others.

Unfold your own myth.

As you sit by this river,

Consider the myths and stories of your life.

Each ripple,

Each gentle wave,

Carries a memory,

A dream,

A hope.

And just as the river flows seamlessly,

So does the narrative of your life.

As the golden hues deepen into shades of indigo and navy,

The night's embrace begins to envelop the river.

The world becomes still,

The only sound being the whispering waters and your own heartbeat.

You feel connected,

Grounded,

And incredibly peaceful.

Let the sound of the water lull you deeper into relaxation.

Feel its gentle ebb and flow,

Its eternal rhythm.

Echoing Rumi's words,

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love.

It will not lead you astray.

Allow the river's current to draw you in,

Bringing you closer to the heart of your desires,

Your passions,

And your dreams.

Now imagine yourself on a small,

Sturdy boat,

Floating gently on this river of dreams.

As the boat rocks you softly,

You lay back,

Looking up at the stars,

Each one twinkling brightly.

As the boat rocks you softly,

You lay back,

Looking up at the stars,

Each one twinkling brightly.

Against the canvas of the night,

It's as if the universe itself is winking at you,

Reminding you of its vastness,

Its mysteries,

And its endless possibilities.

With each gentle rock of the boat,

Rumi's voice seems to echo in the wind.

The wound is the place where the light enters you.

Each challenge,

Each sorrow you faced,

Is but a gateway for light and learning.

Here,

On this river,

You are free from those wounds.

You are surrounded by healing,

By acceptance,

And by love.

The river's flow is steady and reassuring,

Creating a symphony with the night's sounds.

Crickets chirp,

Owls hoot softly,

And the distant call of a nightingale fills the air.

Everything is interconnected,

Each sound a note in the lullaby of the universe.

You are not separate from this melody.

Your heartbeat,

Your breath,

They are all parts of this cosmic song.

Remember Rumi's words,

You are not a drop in the ocean,

You are the entire ocean in a drop.

Feel your significance,

Your place in this vast universe.

As you drift further into serenity,

The boat continues to float,

Taking you down a bend in the river.

Here,

The waters are even calmer,

And the surroundings even more ethereal.

Soft mists rise,

Giving the scene a dreamlike quality.

Fireflies dance around,

Their tiny lights creating a mesmerizing display.

Dance when you're broken open,

Dance in the middle of fighting.

Rumi's wisdom resonates once more.

Like the fireflies,

Even in the darkest moments,

You have an inner light that can dance,

Shine,

And illuminate.

Allow this thought to comfort and embrace you.

As the journey continues,

Your eyelids grow heavy.

The combination of the river's song,

The starry sky,

And Rumi's reflections creates an environment of pure tranquility.

Your thoughts begin to quieten,

Replaced by a deep sense of peace.

Imagine the boat now,

Anchoring in a secluded spot,

Surrounded by soft,

Glowing reeds.

The gentle sway of these reeds mimics the rhythm of a lullaby,

Beckoning you towards a deep,

Restorative sleep.

Feel the softness of the boat beneath you,

The gentle caress of the night's breeze,

And the embrace of Rumi's words.

Close your eyes.

Fall in love.

Stay there.

As you drift deeper and deeper into sleep,

The river of dreams carries your spirit,

Ensuring a night of restful slumber and sweet dreams.

Let go,

Dear traveler,

And be cradled by the universe,

The wisdom of Rumi,

And the promise of a new dawn.

Good night.
