It's time to rest now.
You don't need to do anything at all.
You can just lie down and listen.
Imagine that your bed is becoming extra cozy,
Softer than before,
Warmer,
Like it knows it's time for sleep.
Tonight we are going on a gentle journey,
Not far away,
Just somewhere calm and safe.
Imagine you are floating on a soft fluffy cloud.
The cloud is slow,
It moves very gently,
There is no hurry here at all.
The cloud knows exactly where to go,
You don't have to help it,
You are lying comfortably on the cloud,
Feeling supported,
Feeling held.
Below you is the quiet night world,
Everything down there is peaceful and still.
The lights are dim,
The sounds are soft.
Above you,
The sky is a deep calm blue,
Tiny stars sparkle gently,
Not too bright,
Just enough to feel friendly.
As the cloud drifts along,
You notice how heavy and relaxed your body feels.
Your arms are resting,
Your legs are resting,
Your face feels smooth and soft.
There is nothing you need to think about right now,
Thoughts can float away,
Just like little bubbles drifting into the sky,
You don't need to follow them.
The clouds keep floating,
Slow,
Steady,
Safe.
Soon the clouds begins to gently lower,
Drifting down toward a very cozy place.
It may look like a quiet meadow,
Or a peaceful beach,
Or a warm glowing space made just for you,
Whatever you imagine is perfect.
The clouds settle softly,
Like a feather landing on the ground.
You feel completely safe here,
Nothing can bother you,
Nothing is expected of you,
This place is only for resting.
The stars begin to fade slowly,
Gently,
As if they are going to sleep too.
Everything becomes quieter now,
Softer,
Sleepier.
Your body knows exactly what to do next,
You don't need to tell it anything,
You can let go and sink into the cozy feeling,
Drifting,
Floating,
Resting,
And if sleep comes right now that's perfect,
And if it comes a little later that's perfect too,
You are safe,
Drifting,
Floating,
Resting,
You are cozy.
You are drifting gently into sleep,
All by yourself,
Just like you are meant to.
