Welcome to tonight’s sleep story, a dreamy realm of simple luxuries, everyday magic, and the beauty of living in connection with Mother Nature and her seasons.
As the ink-black velvet sky gently hushes you into quietness, inviting you to fall into a state of dreamy sleep and restoration, where together we will embark on a magical journey with a woman named Lilly who makes it her daily devotion to savour the simple luxuries that surround her.
Rumi once wrote, "The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are."
In this enchanting tale, we journey inward, guided by the timeless wisdom of Rumi's words. How we perceive ourselves and our surroundings is shaped by the lens of our hearts. As we transition from the bustling realm of the mind to the tranquil sanctuary of the heart, we uncover the true magic that resides within us. Here, in the depths of our being, we find the essence of contentment and fulfilment.
Tonight, as we weave through the tapestry of dreams, let us embrace the ordinary moments that sparkle with extraordinary beauty. From the sun's warmth to the soothing aroma of freshly brewed tea, every sensation becomes a treasure to cherish.
Within the night's quietude, amongst the whispers of the evening wind, let us discover the profound joy of savouring life's simple pleasures together. Join me on this journey of mindful exploration, where we honour the sacred art of living well. With each breath, we will immerse ourselves in the richness of the present moment, finding beauty and wonder in the everyday. So, dear dreamer, as you drift into sleep, let your heart be your guide, and may you awaken to the magic within you.
Begin by setting up your bedroom as a cosy retreat. You may like to turn on a salt lamp, open a window, or burn incense. Turn off all your devices and snuggle deep down into your bed.
