Transcript

As you settle comfortably into your bed,

You are lovingly watched by an angel on high.

She looks out for you each night,

Often coming to your aid when sleep seems out of reach.

She smiles down upon you now,

And the smile makes the moon shine a bit warmer.

The stars sparkle even brighter.

If your eyes closed,

Your body beginning to release the day,

You do not notice when she lifts you up.

Lied as a feather to a place human forms don't usually travel,

Yet a space that seems vaguely familiar.

It is an entrance to a realm not of this world.

The entrance shines with the glow of a thousand magnificent sunsets.

Hazy and lovely.

The essence and the source of peace.

An enchanting distant memory.

The healing light intoxicates you with the radiance of its soothing energy.

Just a few moments of bathing in this tranquil,

Sacred space brings a consuming sense of comfort and happiness to your body,

To your soul.

The light within you,

Dampened by years on earth,

Connects automatically to this divine glow.

And you feel as if you are suspended in time,

Soaking in the tranquility.

And you feel yourself softening,

Letting go of everything.

Basking in the grace of this moment.

The angel brushes her fingertips across your forehead.

And you feel treasured as your body relaxes further.

Your mind is quiet and content.

Once again,

She caresses your forehead.

And it relaxes,

Becoming smooth,

Melting down toward your ears.

You relax the space behind your ears.

Distant singing relaxes the space between your ears.

Your eyes soften.

Your entire face softens.

Your jaw loosens.

Your whole body relaxes.

The skin on your throat softens.

Your neck becomes loose.

You breathe deeply and your fingers uncurl and relax.

Your guardian angel places her hands on your shoulders.

You are filled with a sense of well-being.

As your shoulders hinge down.

Softening.

Surrendering to her gentle touch.

She whispers,

You were here in the beginning.

You will be here in the end.

It is time for the long relaxing journey back to your bed.

A gentle journey to sleep.

She plucks a magnificent shimmering feather from her wings for you to lie upon.

The softness of the feather envelops you.

Making you drowsy.

She plucks a small star from the sky and places it on your forehead.

She kisses your brow then softly sets you adrift into the night sky.

You are protected and cherished.

She guides the feather through the tranquil night sky.

As you drift back and forth on the gentle breeze.

You are as light as this feather.

As light as the gentle wind.

And perfectly relaxed.

Full of peace you float through the infinite universe.

Rocking gently.

Cradled by the feather.

Cradled by the breeze.

The star powered by the magic of the universe has the ability to send you to deep sleep.

It shimmers on your forehead.

Releasing and smoothing it even further.

As you float it sends a pin hole of light streaming to the top of your neck.

You feel warmth as the light flowers into a small swirling ball at the top of your neck.

Softening the muscles there.

Vibrating and healing.

Creating openness.

The neck seems to loosen.

Then lengthen.

The star sends a pin hole of light between your shoulder blades in your upper back.

And it flowers into a healing swirling ball.

Creating a velvety light softness between the shoulder blades.

Making the powerful muscles release.

Like loose rubber bands.

Softening your upper back.

Making your spine seem to lengthen.

And melt.

Softening.

The star focuses the stream of light on the bottom vertebrae of your spine.

The light flowers and vibrates.

Creating space there.

Opening space.

Deeply soothing your lower back.

In the sides of your hips.

A tingling vibrating openness.

Opening the pelvis.

Soothing.

Your entire body is becoming weightless.

The light travels slowly down your thighs.

And your legs relax.

And feel as if they are expanding in all directions.

Loose.

Your calves are relaxed.

The pin holes of light reach the arches in your feet.

And flower into a swirling vibrating mass.

Opening the tissue at the bottom of the feet.

Creating space.

Relaxing the toes.

All of your muscles unfolding.

Loosening.

Spreading in all directions.

Your body is weightless.

Light enough to drift on its own.

But it remains comfortably on the angel's enchanted feather.

Slowly and drowsily.

Rocking back and forth through the universe.

Sinking into the peaceful night.

Sinking into softness.

Arcing gently.

As you drift back and forth.

Back.

And forth.

More and more at ease.

Light and weightless.

Descending further and further.

Perfectly comfortable.

Drifting towards sleep.

Gently rocking.

You float through the peaceful universe.

Slowly and gently.

Continue floating.

Drifting.

To sleep.

Oh how I love your meditations! You choose a language that arrives immediately at the center of my heart, you create images of so friendly and tender effects on me, you are so sensitive with the tone of your voice, that guides and protect me throughout the whole meditation - thank you so much. I am really in a very stressed mood with a very tight body - so normally it is a little challenge for me to let things go and to get my body losen. Great to know that you are able to help me. 🙏
