Alright,
Sweet one,
It's time to rest.
Snuggle into your bed and join me on the magical cloud journey.
Snuggle into your bed and let your blanket feel warm and safe around you.
Gently close your eyes and let the day float away.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose and a soft breath out through your mouth.
Again,
Breathe in calm and breathe out anything you don't need anymore.
Your body knows how to sleep.
All you have to do is listen.
Now imagine a big fluffy cloud drifting quietly into your room.
This cloud is special.
It only comes to children who are ready to rest.
The cloud floats by your bedside and gently lifts you up.
You feel light,
Safe,
And cozy,
Like being held.
The cloud wraps around you like a hug.
Nothing can bother you here.
Your toes relax,
Then your feet,
And your legs begin to feel soft and heavy as you melt into the cloud.
Your tummy rises and falls with your breath,
Slow and easy.
As you melt into the cloud,
Your shoulders drop,
Your arms rest,
And your hands and fingers are still.
Your face is smooth and peaceful.
Your eyes are heavy.
Your mouth is soft.
The cloud begins to drift slowly,
Quietly,
Up into the night sky.
You float higher and higher,
Passing twinkling stars.
Each star glows gently as you pass,
Like it's smiling at you.
One star whispers,
You are safe,
Another star whispers,
You are loved,
And another softly says you did enough today.
The moon shines warmly above you,
Lighting the way.
The cloud you are floating on moves slowly,
Never rushing.
There is nowhere you need to go,
Nothing you need to do.
In the distance you see a magical land below.
The cloud floats lower and lower.
You arrive in a peaceful place made just for resting children.
The ground sparkles softly,
Like it's covered in tiny lights.
The air smells sweet and clean.
Friendly animals rest nearby.
They are curled up and sleeping.
They open one eye and smile at you as you fall back to sleep.
You feel calm here.
You belong here.
The cloud gently lowers you into a soft,
Glowing meadow with wildflowers of all different colors.
The grass feels soft like a carpet.
You begin to walk slowly through a garden of calm.
Every step makes you feel sleepier and sleepier.
Tall trees gently sway in the breeze,
Singing quiet lullaby.
Flowers glow with gentle colors,
Blues,
Purple,
Silver.
They breathe with you,
In and out.
A small stream flows by,
Making the softest sound,
Like a whisper,
Saying,
Rest,
Rest,
Rest.
You sit beside the stream.
The water takes away any left of our worries from today.
You carry on across the meadow and see a beautiful castle made of moonlight.
It's not big or scary.
It's warm and welcoming.
The door opens slowly,
Just for you.
Inside is the coziest bedroom you've ever seen.
There's a bed made of cloud and stars.
This bed knows exactly how you like to sleep.
It is perfect.
You climb in and the blanket pulls itself up around you.
As you lie there,
The castle fades away and the cloud gently carries you back to your own bed.
Your breathing is slow.
Your body is heavy.
Your mind is quiet.
Nothing else is needed now.
You are safe.
You are loved.
You learn to grow while you sleep.
The cloud stays nearby all night,
Watching over you,
Keeping you safe.
Sleep comes easily,
Softly,
Quietly.
Good night,
Sweet one.
Sweet dreams.
