So Let’s Begin…
WISDOM OF THE OWL SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT
Draw in a deep, long breath
and allow your eyes to close.
Breathe deeply again,
becoming aware of your surroundings,
aware of the present.
LONG PAUSE
Breathe in again,
and as you do,
let your body release its tension
and let the soft folds of the bed
blend with you.
LONG PAUSE
As you breathe in again,
imagine a house on the
edge of the woods,
a house bathed in winter snow,
with smoke dancing out of a chimney.
PAUSE
Now, imagine yourself
standing in front of the house at nighttime,
dressed in a warm clothes
that hug you and keep you comfortable.
PAUSE
And as you stand outside,
in the beautiful winter air,
you notice the full moon above,
a brilliant, shining orb that
washes its silvery light over
the house, the snow, the woods, and you.
PAUSE
And in the distance, you hear a noise,
softly at first, but then it grows stronger,
Whooo, Whooo.
Whooo, Whooo.
An owl calls to you from the woods.
PAUSE
Now, imagine yourself
taking a step in the snow.
It crunches beneath your foot,
but gently gives way to you.
So, you take another step
and another.
PAUSE
And with each step you take,
you draw closer and closer
to the beautiful woods
near the house.
PAUSE
And, as you reach the woods,
you pause
and hear the owl calling again.
Whooo. Whooo.
Whooo. Whooo.
PAUSE
For a moment,
you look at the woods,
deep into her heart,
a heart teeming
with life and mystery.
PAUSE
Slowly, you step into the woods,
the crisp snow crackling softly
beneath your feet again,
the moon lighting a path
for you to follow.
PAUSE
Whooo. Whooo.
Whooo. Whooo.
The owl’s call is clear,
a call that guides you
into her woods.
PAUSE
With each step you take,
deeper and deeper into the woods,
a feeling of calm and
a sense of knowing
become stronger and stronger.
PAUSE
Standing in the woods,
you take a moment
to bask in the present.
In doing so,
you spy a deer and her fawn.
PAUSE
The doe stops and
looks up at you,
still, and all-knowing,
You feel her understanding,
After a moment,
she and her fawn
go on their way.
PAUSE
The owl’s call
glides through the air again,
and this time, you answer,
Whooo. Whooo.
Whooo. Whooo.
PAUSE
Giant wings
flap above you,
and you crane your neck
to see.
PAUSE
The moonlight unveils a
magnificent owl
sitting on a tree branch
just above you.
PAUSE
Silently, you and the owl
look at one another,
connecting, understanding
in wonder.
PAUSE
After a moment,
the owl draws closer,
and you look into her
golden eyes.
PAUSE
For a moment,
you see the world spinning
in the owl’s eyes,
filled with life and knowledge
that the owl shares with you.
PAUSE
Imagine, now, that the world
In the owl’s eyes
becomes our galaxy,
and then other galaxies–
universes far away,
all sharing their wisdom with you.
PAUSE
You breathe in the knowledge,
then gradually reach out
to the owl
who steps on your arm.
PAUSE
For a moment,
you both just look
at one another.
Then softly and gently,
The owl wraps her wings around you
like a feathery blanket
PAUSE
You snuggle in,
feeling protected,
understanding all there is
from this incredible creature.
PAUSE
Together, you and the owl
stand as One.
One in all the forest,
One in all of nature,
One in all the universe.
PAUSE
And slowly, you breathe in,
and as the breath sweeps
into your lungs,
you feel the owl
and her wisdom
nestle deep in your heart.
PAUSE
So, you begin your journey
out of the woods,
step-by-step
over the crackling snow.
back to the house
at the edge of the woods.
PAUSE
And, as you reach the house,
a feeling of contentment
washes over you,
a sense of Oneness,
a sense of knowing,
a sense of being at total peace.
PAUSE
And you carry that feeling
with you, always,
thanks to the owl.
Namaste, Beautiful
