So Let’s Begin…
GLIDING ACROSS THE FROZEN LAKE: A SLEEP MEDITATION FOR STILLNESS SCRIPT
Settle yourself into bed.
Feel the weight of the blankets,
Tucking you in with warmth.
PAUSE
Take in a deep, gentle breath.
Let your chest rise with calm.
Exhale fully,
And notice your body loosening.
LONG PAUSE
Let your shoulders soften.
Let your hands relax.
Feel your hips sink deeper,
And your legs grow heavy.
PAUSE
Now, in your mind’s eye,
A frozen lake appears.
PAUSE
The ice gleams under the quiet glow of the moon.
It is smooth and endless,
Stretching out like glass,
Calm and still.
PAUSE
You step gently onto the ice.
It feels strong,
Solid beneath your feet.
And as you glide forward,
Your body begins to move with ease.
PAUSE
Breath by breath,
Step by step,
You glide softly across the frozen lake.
LONG PAUSE
The air around you is crisp and clean.
Each inhale fills you with clarity.
Each exhale releases any weight
That no longer belongs to you.
LONG PAUSE
The lake reflects the stars above,
And you feel as though
You are gliding across the heavens themselves.
LONG PAUSE
Listen closely—
There is no sound but your own steady rhythm.
The glide of your feet.
The soft whisper of the wind.
The quiet beating of your heart.
PAUSE
This silence is your companion.
This stillness is your home.
LONG PAUSE
As you move farther,
The world around you slows.
The stars seem to hold their breath.
The night seems to pause for you.
And in that pause,
You find deep stillness.
A place of rest,
A place of peace.
PAUSE
The frozen lake carries you gently,
Gliding you across its shimmering surface.
And with every breath,
You feel yourself surrendering to calm.
LONG PAUSE
You find a soft snowbank at the edge of the lake.
And rest there,
Wrapped in the quiet of the night.
The stars above.
The ice beneath.
The stillness all around.
PAUSE
Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.
