So Let’s Begin…
SAILING ON A PETAL SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT
Take in a deep breath,
a breath that you inhale
slowly and deeply
so that the rich air
fills you.
LONG PAUSE
And, as you breathe in,
feel the breath expanding
through you,
creating healing energy
and connecting all of you.
LONG PAUSE
Keep inhaling and exhaling
and envision the breath
gently touching all
of your body.
LONG PAUSE
Now, as you continue breathing,
bring your thoughts to the present
and feel yourself
in the now.
PAUSE
In the present,
feel your body
comfortably connecting
with your bed,
sinking into it
with deep relaxation.
PAUSE
And as you deepen your relaxation,
imagine the cozy covers of the bed
separating
and transforming into
the softest petal of a flower.
PAUSE
The petal has a gentle aroma
that calms the soul
with each breath.
PAUSE
After a moment,
the petal safely lifts you
into the air
and suspends above your bed
before gently sailing out the door.
PAUSE
You nestle into the petal
and its luscious comfort
and enjoy the sensation
of flying slowly
out into the world
while wrapped in the petal.
PAUSE
The moon shines brightly,
lighting your way,
as the petal rises
in the air.
PAUSE
Slowly, the petal
continues to rise
until you’re surrounded by
a playground of stars.
PAUSE
Each star shimmers
in the inky sky,
and you feel their
energy resonating
with you.
PAUSE
You take a moment
and notice that the stars
seem to play with one another,
shining messages and
dancing in the night sky.
PAUSE
You imagine dancing
with the stars,
waltzing slowly
through the cosmos,
lights trailing
your every move
like a shadow of diamonds.
PAUSE
Then, the stardust gathers
beneath the petal
and ever-so-gingerly
moves it along.
PAUSE
Gently, like the rudder
on a rowboat,
the stardust
guides the petal
back into Earth’s atmosphere.
PAUSE
The petal floats downward
until you’re surrounded by
mountains standing tall
with the glimmer of the moon.
PAUSE
As the petal
wafts toward the ground,
a tiny brook
catches your eye.
PAUSE
The brook is small
and filled with stones
that sparkle like jewels
in the moonlight.
PAUSE
As the petal descends,
it makes a cushioned landing
in the stream
and begins gently moving
with the water.
PAUSE
Along the banks,
fireflies twinkle
and tease one another
as the petal
continues to float
in the brook.
PAUSE
A bullfrog sounds
a mating call,
then splashes
in the water.
PAUSE
A symphony of cicadas
sing their songs
while the great horned owl’s hoots
cut through the dark with their own music.
PAUSE
Now, imagine a warm breeze
cradling the petal,
carrying it out of the brook
and taking it away.
PAUSE
You feel comfort and trust
as the breeze steers
the petal.
PAUSE
After a few moments,
the petal sails back
into your room
PAUSE
The soft petal unfurls
and melts into
your luxurious bed,
leaving you a calmness
that wraps around you
just like the petal.
NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
