Dearest seeker of rest and peace,
Tonight as you lay on the threshold of wakefulness and the embrace of dreams,
Let the profound wisdom of Rumi guide you into the deepest recesses of your soul.
You are not a drop in the ocean.
You are the entire ocean in a drop.
You are not a drop in the ocean.
You are the entire ocean in a drop.
You are not a drop in the ocean.
You are the entire ocean in a drop.
Meditate on these words for in them lies the vast expanse of the universe and the profound infinity of your being.
Begin by finding a comfortable position letting your body be cradled by the softness beneath you.
As the outside world begins to blur,
Let my words weave a tapestry of calm around your heart and mind.
Close your eyes gently like the delicate shutting of a book that holds the most sacred tales.
Breathe in deeply,
Absorbing the love and peace of this very moment and then exhale,
Releasing all the weight of yesterday's and the uncertainties of your tomorrow's.
Envision,
Dear soul,
A single drop of water suspended in the air,
Glistening like a pearl.
This drop holds within it reflections of the entire world,
Just as this drop contains vast oceans.
Understand that within you lies an entire cosmos waiting to be explored.
The heartbeats that echo the rhythm of distant galaxies,
The thoughts that flow like rivers carving canyons of understanding,
The breaths that mimic the ebb and flow of tides.
Each element of your being is interconnected with a boundless expanse of the universe.
Breathe in again deeply,
Drawing from the depth of oceans and exhale,
Feeling the gentle waves recede,
Leaving behind a pristine shore of tranquility.
With each breath,
Realize that the essence of the vast seas is not outside you,
But nestled within,
In every cell,
Every atom of your being.
Now,
Allow your thoughts to drift,
Like a boat on calm waters.
Let them float,
Unhurried,
Unburdened,
Guided only by the gentle currents of this moment.
Should a thought of worry or doubt anchor you,
Gently acknowledge it and then release,
Letting it dissolve into the vastness of the ocean within you.
The vastness of the ocean speaks of depth,
Mysteries,
And the embrace of the horizon,
Just as the ocean holds within it countless wonders.
So do you possess dreams,
Hopes,
And infinite love.
Dive deep within and you will find treasures of wisdom and experiences that have shaped the essence of your being.
Visualize yourself standing at the edge of a serene beach.
Feel the fine grains of sand beneath your feet,
The cool breeze that whispers ancient tales,
And the soft lullabies of waves caressing the shore.
As you stand there,
You are not separate from this breathtaking expanse,
But an intrinsic part of it.
You are both the observer and the observed,
The droplet and the ocean,
The finite and the infinite.
The horizon stretches endlessly,
A testament to the infinite possibilities that lie ahead and the vast journey you've traversed.
With every wave that meets the shore,
Feel your worries being washed away,
Replaced by a deep sense of belonging and purpose.
You are not a mere spectator of the dance of waves,
But the very rhythm that sets them in motion.
Remember,
Dear one,
Your significance in this grand tapestry of life is unparalleled.
Every emotion,
Every experience,
Every dream is a wave in the vast ocean of your existence.
Now,
As the night deepens,
Let yourself drift into the embrace of the sea within,
Where dreams are birthed from the depths and stars shimmer beneath the surface.
Let the ebb and flow of its waters rock you gently,
Lulling you into a profound and restful sleep.
As you surrender to this moment,
You are not a drop in the ocean.
You are the entire ocean in a drop.
You are infinite,
Boundless,
And profoundly loved.
Every challenge,
Every joy,
Every tear,
And every laughter are but waves in the vast sea of your journey.
With each breath,
Delve deeper into this oceanic serenity,
Letting the waves and waters of sleep envelop you,
Healing and rejuvenating your spirit.
Let the lullabies of the deep serenade you as you become one with the ocean within and around in this sacred space.
Know that you are cherished,
You are revered,
And you are infinitely powerful.
The mysteries of the cosmos,
The tales of galaxies far and wide,
The love of the universe,
All reside within you.
Sleep now,
Beloved,
Cradled in the embrace of your boundless self.
Dive into the dreams that await,
And remember,
Even in the morrow's light,
The ocean remains within you,
Vast and infinite.
Good night,
Dear soul.
May you always remember your depth,
Your vastness,
And your exquisite beauty.
Rest in the gentle waves of love and peace.
Sleep with grace.
