In the far beyond,

Where the infinite sea meets the infinite sky,

There is a magical place of sleep.

It is a small,

Peaceful island,

With white sand,

The consistency of flower,

And lovely,

Swaying palm trees.

The sea water has a lovely spectrum of colors,

Ranging from light green at the shore,

To aqua,

To a beautiful bright blue further out.

Can you picture it?

There are very small waves,

Which break on the shore,

Mixing white foam into the blue-green waters.

This is as close to paradise as you can imagine.

Anchored just offshore is a raft specially made for sleep.

You are perfectly safe here.

Your raft is positioned just beyond where the gentle waves break,

And you softly drift on the swells,

Rocking left to right,

Up one side and gently down the other.

You lie on a most comfortable bed,

Completely at peace in the warm waters,

Gently rocking left to right.

And floating.

The wave of comfort washes over you,

Making your head become heavy.

Your shoulders melt down.

Every muscle in your body relaxes as you float into the tender night.

Drifting.

Physically and mentally drifting.

Breathe into your scalp,

Hold the breath,

And then let it wash down the back of your neck.

Releasing.

Softening.

Breathe into your shoulders,

Hold the breath,

And let it wash down your spine.

Let the music wash over you,

Soothing you from head to toe.

Your tranquil,

Limp,

And heavy.

Your mind begins to still as the tension releases from the top of your head,

Making room for peace.

Let your temples relax.

The water is slowly and deliberately rocking you to sleep.

You are heavy.

So heavy.

Focus on the space between your eyebrows and see the fragments of darkness.

Fragments of dreams.

Waiting.

Your forehead is smooth.

Relax the root of your tongue.

Relax the sides of your mouth.

Let the music play up and down your neck.

Slowly wiggle your fingers and toes to further relax.

Letting go.

Your shoulders hinge down and release.

Relax your shoulders even more.

Inhale up your spine.

And exhale down your spine.

Focusing your vertebrae with your breath.

Softening.

Your sacrum in your lower back melts.

And you are gently rocking.

Floating.

Gently relaxed.

Perfectly safe.

Drifting towards sleep.

Drifting.

Rocking.

Left and right.

Left and right.

Your forehead is smooth and soft.

Your hips are heavy.

Making space.

Your glutes spread in all directions.

Releasing.

Completely relaxed.

Inner thighs releasing.

Outer thighs releasing.

Relax the space behind your knee.

Your whole body is calm and at ease.

You are so relaxed.

It is as if you are becoming part of the water.

You are melting into just water.

You have no shape or form but expand in all directions.

Floating.

Twinkling stars above you.

Shimmering starfish in the clear waters beneath you.

The moon reflects off the water making it seem as if there are stars drifting beside you.

You are surrounded by peaceful,

Lovely stars.

Though many stars,

It is hard to determine what is earth and what is sky.

You are liquid.

One with the earth.

As you breathe in the peaceful ocean air.

Safely anchored next to your island,

You drift toward deep sleep.

Hearing the gentle waves lapping at the shore.

Hearing mermaids sing you lullabies.

Let your dreams spill into your mind.

Completely at peace.

Feeling the gentle sway of the raft beneath you.

Left and right.

Drifting.

Softening.

Letting go.

Just let go.

Drifting.

Completely at peace.

Every part of your body relaxed.

Riding the gentle current,

You drift.
