So Let’s Begin…
ASLEEP IN THE TUSCAN COUNTRYSIDE SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT
Take a moment and focus on you,
letting the day set behind you
As you slip away quietly.
LONG PAUSE
And as you shift your focus,
allow yourself to just let go.
Let go of any distracting thoughts
and stuff them in a basket
so you can stay in the present.
LONG PAUSE
Now, embrace yourself with gentleness
and self-love
as you continue quieting the mind
and letting go,
So there’s nothing but you
in this moment
LONG PAUSE
Now, imagine being carried to Italy,
to the magnificent Tuscan countryside
not far from the art and beauty of Florence.
PAUSE
As you land in the breathtaking land,
you notice green, rolling hills
that flow across the countryside
like a sheet gently blowing in a breeze.
PAUSE
And as your eye travels
over the land,
you are taken in by a
symphony of wonders
to your senses.
PAUSE
You breathe in the fresh air,
and with it the subtle woody scent
of olive trees blooming in the distance.
PAUSE
As your eye catches sight of the trees,
the beauty of the tiny white blossoms
moves you, making a spiritual connection
to you and the stunning countryside.
PAUSE
You draw in another breath
rich with the fragrance of grapes on the vine.
The honey scent lulls you
into a state of deep calm.
PAUSE
After a few minutes,
your ears are treated
to the delightful sound
of a bird singing.
PAUSE
Moments later,
other birds begin chirping,
letting their songs
ring through the countryside.
PAUSE
As you walk through the hills,
a brown rabbit hops before you
on the path.
He pauses, looks cautiously at you
and then hops along.
PAUSE
Then, your eye catches
a number of stone towers
guarding the countryside,
old towers built by medieval nobles
for protection.
PAUSE
As you approach one of the towers,
you feel its ancestors welcoming you
and its protective energies
building a fortress around you.
PAUSE
Along your walk,
you notice an area
where the sounds of bubbles
call out to you.
You follow the call
to a natural mineral spring.
PAUSE
Gingerly, you step over
the stones leading
the gently bubbling spring
until you can dip your feet
iInto the healing waters.
PAUSE
The air is moist
with hints of sulphur
from the spring
and the sweetness of grapes
from a nearby winery.
And the sound of the spring
gently burbling
relaxes you.
PAUSE
A velvety breeze brushes
against your cheeks
while the warm Tuscan sun
alights on your face.
PAUSE
After the mineral bath,
you decide to visit
the winery nearby,
and are awed by the
array of chianti flavors
dancing on your tongue.
PAUSE
There are woody and dried fruit flavors
tickling your palate,
along with smoky and herbal tastes,
all blended into delicious elixirs.
PAUSE
The winery offers lodging,
so you decide to stay the night
and are treated to a feast
of breads and olive oils, wines,
sharp cheeses, pasta rich with
tomatoey flavors, and chocolate,
smooth and luxurious.
PAUSE
Before bed, you stretch out
on a chair in the garden,
watching Italy’s golden sun
drop below the horizon,
and seeing a silver full moon
bathe the countryside in light.
PAUSE
The moon rises high and large
in the sky,
casting its light across the rolling hills,
vineyards and olive trees,
painting a picture
more beautiful than any art..
PAUSE
And as the Tuscan night
unfolds around you,
you close your eyes
and let the magic of Tuscany
flourish within you and your dreams.
NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
