So Let’s Begin…
EGYPTIAN ODYSSEY SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT
Take a long,slow breath in,
and let it go,
feeling the release
in your entire body.
LONG PAUSE
Then breathe again,
allowing any area
of tension
to melt away.
LONG PAUSE
And now,
allow your breathing
to find a
comfortable, slow rhythm,
and relax even more.
LONG PAUSE
Now, see if you can imagine
walking along
a fertile shore
of the Nile River
in Egypt.
PAUSE
The pale, blue-green water
flows gently
before you,
carrying life to all
who live near it.
PAUSE
As you walk,
you feel the Egyptian sun
lightly warming your skin,
warming it comfortably.
PAUSE
And, after a moment,
you notice a path
mixed with yellow sand
and black dirt.
PAUSE
See if you can imagine
following the yellow and black path
until a tiny sailboat appears
right by the shore .
PAUSE
As you study the sailboat,
you observe a tan-colored sail
with sharp points and curves
hoisted into the air.
PAUSE
Now, give yourself permission
to board the little boat
and prepare to venture
down the Nile.
PAUSE
You situate yourself
comfortably in the center,
feeling the gentle rocking
of the boat
from side to side.
PAUSE
And, now see if you can imagine
the little sailboat
catching a breeze
and sailing down the river.
PAUSE
And as you sail down the Nile,
you spy the top
of a pyramid,
yellow and strong,
standing in its might.
PAUSE
And the sailboat pauses,
and moves toward the shore,
letting you off to
visit the pyramids.
PAUSE
And, as you set foot
on the shore,
see if you can imagine,
a magical breeze
carrying you to the
center of the plateau
with all the pyramids.
PAUSE
And the breeze stops
for a moment,
and then stirs again,
this time dropping
a pair of blue glasses
into your hands.
PAUSE
Instinctively,
you put on the glasses,
and are amazed
to see Egyptian pharaohs,
queens, gods and goddesses
watching over the pyramids.
PAUSE
A pharaoh with a
golden staff and
black and gold striped headdress,
nods at you and taps his staff.
PAUSE
After a moment,
a beautiful Egyptian woman
with lush lips and curved hips
walks by you.
PAUSE
It’s Queen Nefertiti,
and she gives you a half smile
and then walks on.
PAUSE
Now, imagine if you can
the beautiful goddess Isis,
with her golden headdress
comes toward you.
PAUSE
The goddess of healing and magic
stands before you
and takes your hands
in hers.
PAUSE
She doesn’t speak,
and, yet, you understand
her message:
You, too, are a goddess.
Believe it.
PAUSE
Isis disappears,
and you stand
for a moment,
taking in her message
and feeling goddess power within.
PAUSE
After a few moments,
another breeze comes by,
and the glasses
gently fall off your nose
and vanish into the air.
PAUSE
The gods and goddesses,
pharaohs and queens
are all gone.
Instead, there are many tourists
waiting for their turn
to experience Egypt.
PAUSE
The breeze returns,
full, and ready to take you
back to the little sailboat.
PAUSE
But before the breeze
carries you away,
you turn and look again
at the pyramids,
thanking them
for reminding you
that you are a goddess,
every day, in every way.
