So Let’s Begin…
THE ENCHANTED FOREST SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT
Allow yourself a
moment of calm
that washes over you
and leaves you warm.
LONG PAUSE
Breathe in a breath
that’s deep and steady,
that centers you
and gets you ready.
LONG PAUSE
It’s time to journey
as you prepare for sleep
to a magical place
you’ll find in a dream.
LONG PAUSE
Now, see if you can imagine
a forest still and dark
where creatures live in harmony
and magic really lurks.
PAUSE
You take a step
and then another
into the forest deep;
it’s full of life and energy
when the rest of the world is asleep.
PAUSE
And before your eyes
true magic appears,
in stardust silver and gold.
A unicorn bows before you,
a wonder to behold.
PAUSE
And the unicorn
lets you on his back,
and prances through the trees,
until you come to some tiny houses
and some dwarves
who look quite pleased.
PAUSE
An elder dwarf
with wire spectacles
offers a cup of tea.
You take a sip and smile;
The taste is heavenly.
PAUSE
And the dwarf tugs his beard
delighted you like the tea.
Then he and all the other dwarves
go back to working busily.
PAUSE
So, the unicorn trots on
through the woods
slow enough for you to see
that the trees and plants and animals
sparkle magically.
PAUSE
And as you ride,
a thunderous sound
takes you by surprise.
A giant peers behind a tree
then walks before your eyes.
PAUSE
He’s tall and strong
with brown moppy hair
and stories in his deep blue eyes,
and you know that if you asked him,
what he shared would be truly wise.
PAUSE
He reaches down
and offers his hand,
so you can take a look.
You step on his hand and rise above
to see the magic in the woods.
PAUSE
You see animals
and enchanted creatures
going about their lives,
building houses, preparing food
and sharing all their time.
PAUSE
And giant sets you
on the back of the unicorn,
and you both canter away,
so you can see some more
of the woods before the end of day.
PAUSE
After a while,
a creature crosses your path.
He’s half man on top
and horse beyond that.
PAUSE
And, the creature approaches;
firm, but cautiously.
He’s a centaur
protecting the forest
and all its mysteries.
PAUSE
And the centaur raises his lance
to let you pass,
then salutes you as well.
You smile and thank him
and bid him a warm farewell.
PAUSE
And the unicorn gallops farther
into the heart of the trees
where you come across
a dragon who
greets you with gentle ease.
PAUSE
The dragon is
the color of the sea
with eyes like amber fire,
and she beckons you
to take a ride
to soar higher and higher.
PAUSE
So you jump on the dragon
and hold on tight
around her scaly neck.
And up you go
until the unicorn
looks like a tiny speck.
PAUSE
And as the dragon
spreads her wings,
you feel the air upon your face.
You say goodbye to the forest
this amazing, magical place.
PAUSE
The dragon stops
at the forest’s edge
to let you off her back.
You thank her kindly
and head home
along the trodden path.
PAUSE
And as you leave
the forest dark,
it’s become a part of you.
There’s now a spark of magic
that leaves you feeling new.
