So Let’s Begin…
SLEEP WELL, DREAM WELL SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT
Sleep well,
Dream well,
Reconnect to your source.
Sleep well,
Dream well,
Remind yourself your worth.
PAUSE
It’s time to relax,
To settle in for the night,
So close your eyes, open your mind,
And lean in to glimpse the magic.
PAUSE
Imagine the most beautiful place you can,
The place that fills you with longing and wonder,
The place you’ve been waiting your whole life to see,
The place that makes you feel like it’s part of you.
PAUSE
Perhaps you dream of green mountains,
Of fresh, leafy air and crystal lakes.
A cozy timber cabin,
Wide, breezy porches on every side.
PAUSE
If you tilt your head just slightly,
You can glimpse water between the trees.
And if you listen very closely,
Lighthearted birds trill and wrap you in song.
PAUSE
Squirrels and chipmunks rustle in the bushes,
Reminding you how to play.
And sparkling sunshine glints off every leaf,
Calling your spirit toward the sky.
LONG PAUSE
Take a breath of forest air, and hold its precious peace within.
Release the breath back to the trees, and absorb their protective power.
PAUSE
Maybe you long for a pristine beach instead,
With white sands and turquoise water.
You walk for miles seeing not a soul,
As you gather shells and stones.
PAUSE
Those shells have journeyed very far,
To make their way to you.
Each color and ridge has a story to tell,
And those stories are part of you now.
PAUSE
If you look toward the horizon,
Your awareness swells and grows.
For you and that shell are the same somehow,
Tiny pieces of the magnificent all.
PAUSE
Lower your gaze to the water,
Turn your ear to the ocean’s song.
Hear your pulse in the waves’ rolling rhythm,
Let the soft roar settle your mind.
LONG PAUSE
Take a long, deep breath of ocean air, its salty weight rich and familiar.
Exhale that breath into the vastness, feeling both release and connection.
PAUSE
Or perhaps you dream of desert sands,
Of finding beauty in their peaks.
The shifting landscape lights you up,
With its hazy shimmer full of secrets.
PAUSE
From tiny grains grow massive crests,
Merging at the whim of the winds.
The earthy palate, so much more complex than it appears,
Blends light and shadow with a masterful hand.
PAUSE
The desert feels sacred in its stark, ethereal way.
A study in extremes, dangerous and breathtaking
It speaks in a language of its own,
Calls out in its wistful, irresistible way.
PAUSE
This arid wilderness is like nothing else,
A place for only the bold.
Its challenges seem meant to reveal our truest selves,
While reminding of the power of change.
LONG PAUSE
Draw in the desert’s delicate air, deceptively thin and fine.
Offer your breath to the wind as you exhale, let it carry you across the sand.
PAUSE
Maybe you see yourself crossing the plains,
Broad vistas in every direction.
Rocky mountains flanking grassy prairies,
Their peaks lifting the heart as they rise.
PAUSE
Imagine yourself on horseback,
Galloping through the fields.
Feel the sun and the wind and the majesty,
Realizing that here, you are truly free.
PAUSE
Far above, hawks and eagles circle.
All around you, wildflowers bloom.
The earth thrums with the ancient echoes of buffalo,
And in an instant, you’re transformed.
PAUSE
Freedom shows its smiling face,
Reminding you of your power.
So you urge your horse ever faster,
And ride until the two of you feel as one.
LONG PAUSE
Raise your face to the sun and inhale, take as much as you can.
Study the horizon and exhale, giving thanks for such a view.
PAUSE
Finally, imagine your most precious place,
The one you’re fortunate to call home.
It can be a house, a tree, a person, or anything you choose.
See it, name it, know it; it belongs to you alone.
PAUSE
Think of what home does for you,
The way it makes you feel.
Call to mind the colors, the scents,
The sights that fill you with joy.
PAUSE
Pull that joy down deep as you can,
Let it wrap your soul in warmth.
Feel it slip from head to toe to fingertips,
Relaxing you as it moves.
PAUSE
There are no worries in any of these places,
Nothing to spoil the view.
They exist to restore you and lighten your heart,
To remind you of the good waiting in every direction.
PAUSE
You are safe in these magnificent places.
They’re with you no matter where you go.
Relax now and let them transport you,
Give your body and mind what they seek.
LONG PAUSE
Inhale this magical beauty, let your breath swell and pull it close.
Exhale whatever stands in your way, and delight in the peace that remains.
PAUSE
Sleep well,
Dream well,
Reconnect to your source.
Sleep well,
Dream well,
Remind yourself your worth.
Namaste, Beautiful
