Welcome,

I'm your host Filippa.

Thank you for joining me tonight.

Let's begin by taking a nice big stretch.

Let all the tension leave the body and let's start getting comfortable,

Lying on your back,

Arms relaxed by your sides and your legs slightly apart.

Close your eyes and let's take three slow deep breaths.

Inhale through the nose.

Exhale deeply through the mouth,

Letting the exhale release the day's tension.

And again,

Inhaling through the nose and exhaling,

Letting the tension leave the body without any resistance.

Once more,

Take a deep inhale through the nose and sigh it out through the mouth completely and allow a yawn if it feels like it to release any remaining tension.

Bring your attention to your breathing,

Let it return to your natural rhythm of breathing.

We are now ready to fully let go of any lingering thoughts and tension in the body as we step into our journey under the moonlight.

You are now standing at the edge of a quiet beach as twilight deepens.

The sky is painted in shades of indigo and soft violet,

Dotted with twinkling stars that seem close enough for you to touch them.

A gentle,

Salty breeze brushes against your skin.

It carries the faint scent of the sea and of blooming night jasmine.

Behind you,

The rhythmic hush of waves rolling onto the sand creates a soothing lullaby.

Each wave rises,

Crests and sighs back into the ocean,

Echoing the rise and fall of your own breath.

A narrow,

Moonlit path of smooth,

Silver glowing stones appears before you,

Curving gently along the water's edge.

And you begin to follow the path.

With each step,

The stones emit a faint,

Warm glow that lights the way,

Yet never overwhelms the darkness.

The air begins to feel cooler as you move along the path,

And every inhalation fills you with calm,

And every exhalation releases any lingering worry.

As you keep walking,

You notice the soft crunch beneath your feet,

The delicate rustle of tiny shells shifting.

The sound blends seamlessly with the ocean's song,

Creating a perfect harmony that steadies your mind.

Finally,

The path takes you to a secluded cove cradled by smooth cliffs.

You notice that in the centre lies a small and slightly shallow pool of crystal clear water.

A part of this crystal water pool is exposed and able to receive the moonlight,

And it reflects the moon as if it were a polished mirror.

Fireflies dance lazily and softly above the surface,

Their golden lights flickering in a slow,

Rhythmic pattern.

You sink your feet into the soft sand that makes you feel comfortable and safe.

You surrender to these sensations and decide to stretch out and lie back.

As you settle,

You hear the tide rolls in with a gentle hush,

Sending glistening ripples across the water,

Each one a quiet breath of serenity.

You breathe in deeply the smell of the sea breeze,

Bringing you a further sense of calm and peace.

Let the rhythm of the waves,

The flicker of the fireflies and the whisper of the night sea breeze become the soundtrack of your dreams.

There is nothing you need to do,

Nothing you need to think of,

Simply be present in the serene moonlight and the gentle pulse of the sea.

As you continue to breathe softly,

Feel yourself becoming lighter,

As if you are floating on the pool of water itself.

Each exhale releases a little more of the day,

Each inhale draws in the pure,

Calming moonlight energy.

Your eyelids feel heavier,

Your thoughts drift away,

Washed by the gentle tide,

And you find yourself sleeping effortlessly into a deep,

Restorative sleep.

When you awaken,

You will carry the serenity of this moonlight within you,

Peaceful refuge you can return to whenever you need calm.
