Hello beautiful souls,
This is June B and welcome to a beautiful night's sleep.
Thanks for being here for another in the series Sleep Stories with June B.
Join me as I'm at a beach party with my friends while I'm on holiday.
So let's get into your favorite sleeping position.
Make sure you're comfortable.
Close your eyes and slowly imagine yourself melting into the bed.
Now let's go to your breathing,
Slowing down the heart rate and let's take some nourishing breaths together.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Last time breathe in,
Breathe out.
So I'm on holiday in the Caribbean and I've been invited to a party on the beach with my friends.
There is food on the grill with amazing smells wafting along the beach.
Sounds of the waves coming in and out in the background and some sweet steel pan music playing for our dining and dancing pleasure.
The soft breeze is gently caressing my face and the sun is warming the day with a smile.
All my friends are here and I can see them dancing and enjoying the music.
What fun we are having here enjoying the sand,
Sea and having fun together.
What makes the Caribbean so special is the many small islands and relatively calm sailing waters which makes this region great to explore by sea.
Also it is one of the world's prime yachting locations offering diversity,
Warm weather and some of the most amazing and breathtaking scenery you can find anywhere in the world.
I can see my friends over there having a great time.
They're getting into the steel pan playing and they're about to have a limbo competition.
Oh my!
Trinidad is said by many to be the birthplace of the steel pan,
Often referred to as a steel drum emerging in the 1930s.
Metal objects including car parts,
Paint pots,
Dust bins,
Oil drums and biscuit tins were originally used as percussion instruments and after much trial and error they began to be tuned.
The steel pan possibly the only instrument made out of industrial waste has become an icon of Trinidadian culture.
Hammered into the shiny metal surface is a series of dents.
Do you know that there is something about the steel pan and Caribbean music in general that resonates with the rest of the world?
The sounds are sounds that represent holidays,
Fun and sunshine wrapped up into a bag of pleasing melodies and rhythms that always delight and please us.
It is like pressing a happy button when the steel pan is played.
You really can't help but to move your body.
I always thought in another life I was a professional dancer.
I love to dance.
Give me a beat and I'm off and by the looks of my friends over there they love the soothing and exciting rhythms too.
Can you hear the waves crashing and the feel of the soft sweet breeze gently drifting along the shore and touching your body and soul?
Imagine it now as you listen to the beats of the steel pan melodies ring out.
Those melodies mixed with the slowly setting sun,
The crashing waves on this beautiful beach and the sounds of pure joy and laughter of my friends in the background.
This is truly heaven.
Being here with the sounds of my friends in the background and it feels like such a wonderful place to be.
I love being here on the beach and today it feels extra special because of the steel pan playing.
Imagine yourself at the beach now.
Look into the blue water clear enough for you to see the bottom of the seabed.
You can see the fish swimming along and all the beautiful coral reef that adorns the seabed.
How amazing mother nature is.
Can you imagine a sight more beautiful than this?
I can smell the sea air as the waves crash against the beach and tiny droplets of seawater fill the air that finds its way into my nose and the salt tickles it every time.
The sea air is really cleansing and healing.
That is why so many people come to the beach to recuperate.
It is a healthy place to be physically,
Mentally and emotionally.
I've done a lot of healing by the beach.
It is a place for me that is so tranquil and healing.
It has helped me through many tough times and I highly recommend it.
For me it is such a wonderful place to be.
Mother nature at its best and most expansive.
The way the tide comes in and out.
The way the waves come in and out.
The way the waves come in and out.
The way the tide comes in and out.
Never stopping,
Constantly moving,
As perfect as any scene could be.
Oh here is another sweet tune being played on the steel pan.
As I look over at my friends,
A wave of love and gratitude flows over me.
A memory that will leave an indelible mark.
Thanks for being here with me for a while,
Enjoying the sweet vibes of a party on the beach in my idea of paradise.
Oh I'm getting a little sleepy now and I'm sure you are too.
So as you slowly drift away,
Have yourself a great sleep and see you next time for another in the series,
Sleep Stories with June B.
