Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Janie, and welcome back to sleep Magic. I'm
Speaker 1: so glad you're here tonight. I must say so many
Speaker 1: of you really know how to make a person feel welcomed.
Speaker 1: I have been so touched by the genuine kindness that
Speaker 1: I received through your comments and messages. I read every
Speaker 1: one of them, and I just want to thank you
Speaker 1: for taking the time to let me and the team
Speaker 1: here at sleep Magic know how you're enjoying the show.
Speaker 1: That means a whole lot to us, and I really
Speaker 1: can't tell you how absolutely thrilled I am to be
Speaker 1: here with you all. Now, how would you like to
Speaker 1: lay under the starry sky and cast your worries clear
Speaker 1: up to the furthest twinkling light. I'll guide you two
Speaker 1: experience that gentle celestial release that you've been waiting for
Speaker 1: all day long, or maybe you've needed this release for
Speaker 1: much much longer. When I think back at the memorable
Speaker 1: stars in my life, I'm reminded of times that my
Speaker 1: family would take vacations to remote deserts compared to snowy
Speaker 1: mountains or beaches. This was not my favorite vacation spot,
Speaker 1: a little too dusty for me. But there was one
Speaker 1: thing that always stood out, and it was the brilliant
Speaker 1: sky full of stars that would absolutely mesmerize me night
Speaker 1: after night. Now, I grew up in a small country town,
Speaker 1: so I did have some pretty beautiful skies to look
Speaker 1: up at through my childhood. The privilege you don't totally
Speaker 1: appreciate until you decide you want to experience life in
Speaker 1: the big city. And I do love living in the city,
Speaker 1: but boy do I miss those stars. Light pollution around
Speaker 1: the world makes those spectacular astral views more sacred than ever.
Speaker 1: Can you remember the last time you stepped out into
Speaker 1: the dark and looked up at the vastness of those
Speaker 1: distant lights? And I wonder if you could think about
Speaker 1: it deeply enough, can you feel the stillness that inevitably
Speaker 1: set in for you? Then I'm here to guide you
Speaker 1: right back there again, under those stars, where worries seem
Speaker 1: too quiet to hear in our heads, when the only
Speaker 1: sound is perhaps the gentle chorus of crickets or the
Speaker 1: wise owls soft hoot. Come lay down under the stars
Speaker 1: and gaye with me before we begin our only ad
Speaker 1: break that makes this magic possible. To go ad free,
Speaker 1: follow the link in the show notes.
Speaker 2: What if falling asleep was something you actually looked forward to.
Speaker 3: Well.

Speaker 1: Okay, now it's time to let your mind begin to soften.
Speaker 1: You feel yourself being guided toward those twinkling lights, and effortlessly,
Speaker 1: it's time to drift, draw, and let go. Now allow
Speaker 1: yourself to get into a very comfortable position and allow
Speaker 1: any small adjustments, perhaps to your head, your shoulders, even
Speaker 1: your hands and feet. You just allow your whole body
Speaker 1: to sink down into the cushion beneath you, and your
Speaker 1: eyelids are nice and heavy, and as they are heavier
Speaker 1: and heavier with every blank you allow them to close completely.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: As the eyelids close, you are swept over with the
Speaker 1: most wonderful feeling of calm, a beautiful invitation to just
Speaker 1: let go. To let go allows the breath to extend
Speaker 1: as it flows up through the crown of your head
Speaker 1: and down through the soles of your feet and out
Speaker 1: right effortless breath in and out. There's no special way
Speaker 1: to breathe tonight, no perfect rhythm. Just allow every breath
Speaker 1: to find its own quiet pace. With every gentle exil
Speaker 1: it can begin to feel as though the day is
Speaker 1: slowly moving further from you. Every conversation, every responsibility, every
Speaker 1: unfinished art can all simply wait for another time, because
Speaker 1: this time belongs entirely to you. Now, you might imagine
Speaker 1: now you're lying somewhere very peaceful, beneath an endless night sky.
Speaker 1: You might be able to visualize those twinkling stars, or
Speaker 1: you may feel the essence of them, the sensation that
Speaker 1: moves through you when you are gazing up at them.
Speaker 1: And in this quiet space, wherever you are, we're all
Speaker 1: underneath the same beautiful sky. Tonight, you might imagine the
Speaker 1: evening air is pleasantly cool, and our beautiful earth beneath
Speaker 1: us is steady, say welcoming and as you lie ever
Speaker 1: so still, that beautiful sky stretches further than words could
Speaker 1: ever describe. It's that dear, velvety midnight blue, the sky
Speaker 1: so fast that it seems to continue forever. And as
Speaker 1: you imagine gazing up at the beautiful star, your body
Speaker 1: is becoming heavier and heavier, more and more relaxed. With
Speaker 1: every brad there you go, You're sinking into the support
Speaker 1: beneath you, and every muscle is releasing tension. Every thought
Speaker 1: is quieting more and more, and every tiny star is
Speaker 1: shining quietly.
Speaker 3: We're haad.
Speaker 1: Thousands of one thousands, each one glowing with a steady,
Speaker 1: gentle light. They're simply existing peacefully, steadily. The stars asked
Speaker 1: nothing of you. They simply are here to remind you
Speaker 1: how wonderfully spacious this moment can become. They are here
Speaker 1: to invite you into your own stillness, into your own light,
Speaker 1: into that universe within yourself that is so beautifully unique
Speaker 1: and special. And as you rest here that a river
Speaker 1: of relaxation is moving through your whole body and being.
Speaker 1: It cascades down your arms, your spy, your legs. How
Speaker 1: wonderful it feels to just let go in this way
Speaker 1: to gaze up athol stars, and even if thoughts may
Speaker 1: still appear, you just find them floating quietly up toward
Speaker 1: those twinkling lights, your mind clearing and quieting, your mind
Speaker 1: doing what it knows how to do. It knows when
Speaker 1: it is time to problem solve, and it knows when
Speaker 1: it is time.
Speaker 3: To rest.
Speaker 1: And it's time to rest. Now you may think of
Speaker 1: every thought like its own tiny point of light, appearing
Speaker 1: softly and then drifting upward, higher and higher, further and
Speaker 1: further into the immense night sky. Some of those thoughts
Speaker 1: disappear almost immediately. Others drift for a little while, and
Speaker 1: that's okay. Every one of them finds its own place
Speaker 1: among the stars, leaving your mind a little quieter, a
Speaker 1: little more spacious, a little more peaceful. And the beautiful
Speaker 1: thing about such an enormous guy is that there is
Speaker 1: room for everything, every memory, every feeling, every thought. Nothing
Speaker 1: has to be solved here, nothing needs to be pushed away. Instead,
Speaker 1: everything simply has space. And as your body continues resting,
Speaker 1: you may begin to notice just how wonderfully supported you feel.
Speaker 1: Supported by the earth beneath you and holds every ouse
Speaker 1: of your way from your legs, to your ways, your hips,
Speaker 1: your bye, from your shoulders to your art happen to
Speaker 1: your chaw, your scalp. Every part of your body is
Speaker 1: releasing and letting go Latin go, letting go. You're doing
Speaker 1: a wonderful jaw. Notice how relaxed your jaw is now.
Speaker 1: Notice the softness around your eyes, your ear, your ned.
Speaker 3: And shoulders.
Speaker 1: Every muscle is remembering that it no longer needs to stailer.
Speaker 1: And above you, the stars continue their quiet dance, an
Speaker 1: ancient dance, and without even trying, you may begin to
Speaker 1: feel yourself becoming just a little more like the night sky,
Speaker 1: a little more still, a little more open, a little
Speaker 1: more quiet, a little more peaceful. In this gentle moment
Speaker 1: beneath the endless guy, your body knows exactly how to rest. Then,
Speaker 1: as it does, your mind begins to discover that peace
Speaker 1: has always been within you all along, waiting patiently, waiting
Speaker 1: for you to lie with it, to call it in,
Speaker 1: to bring it to the surface. Simply with your intention,
Speaker 1: and with every breath you remain ever so peaceful. Your body,
Speaker 1: your wonderfully quiet mind continue settling more and more. The
Speaker 1: age peaceful moment that passes here letting go here, letting go.
Speaker 1: Notice how naturally the night surrounds you. The air feels
Speaker 1: soft against your skin, gentle, refreshing, comforting, feel a light
Speaker 1: breeze flow right over the surface of your skin, and
Speaker 1: everything around you is quieter except for the crickets, the owl,
Speaker 1: the gentle breeze that rustles the leaves of the trees nearby,
Speaker 1: and our steadi earth remains supportive. What you are safe
Speaker 1: and that'd be beautiful. Night, sky wide and open continue
Speaker 1: stretching far beyond anything you could ever need to understand.
Speaker 1: As you look upward, allow your awareness to become spacious.
Speaker 1: The further your attention travels, the lighter your thoughts begin
Speaker 1: to feel. The further your attention travels, the lighter your
Speaker 1: thoughts begin to feel. Good. Have a thought appears, Notice
Speaker 1: how much smaller they are. A tiny little light that
Speaker 1: floats off to meet the stars above you, and the
Speaker 1: sky around it grows larger to make more space. And
Speaker 1: as another thought drips off that faint little light floating
Speaker 1: away up in the distance, and as it finds its
Speaker 1: place in the sky, the sky around it expands even more.
Speaker 1: The sky has room for every thought. And because there
Speaker 1: is so much room. Nothing needs to feel crowded, nothing
Speaker 1: needs to feel urgent. Your mind can open wider and quieter.
Speaker 1: With every slow brah there you go. Perhaps as you
Speaker 1: gaze above, you notice one bright star above you, a
Speaker 1: steady point of light, a light that is resting peacefully
Speaker 1: in the darkness, and it like you to allow your
Speaker 1: attention to just settle there for a moment, nice and gently,
Speaker 1: without any effort. Notice that the star does not flicker
Speaker 1: with worry, It does not rush, It does not wonder
Speaker 1: what comes next. No, it simply shines softly, steadily. And
Speaker 1: as you rest beneath it, you may begin to feel
Speaker 1: a similar steadiness within yourself, a quiet place somewhere deep
Speaker 1: inside that has always known how to become calm, calm,
Speaker 1: that place within you that remembers.
Speaker 3: How to soften, how to settle, how to rest.
Speaker 1: And with each cheesy breath, that peaceful feeling spreads. It
Speaker 1: distributes through your whole body, ice and evenly, pouring out
Speaker 1: from the center of your chest and up through your shoulders,
Speaker 1: and down through your arm and all the way into
Speaker 1: your hands.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: Notice that your palms grow soft, that your fingers rest loosely,
Speaker 1: that even the smallest muscles become so still and relaxed,
Speaker 1: so relaxed, all the way down through your body, through
Speaker 1: your waist, into your hips and thigh, to your knee
Speaker 1: in lower legs, and then sinking into the souls of
Speaker 1: your feet. That's right, your whole body resting now in
Speaker 1: one peaceful moment, resting under the star, breathing as they twinkle,
Speaker 1: softening as they shine, settling as they are ever so still,
Speaker 1: And above you, even more stars begin to reveal themselves,
Speaker 1: some rider, some more faint, some very distant. They seem
Speaker 1: like little tiny pin bricks of silver scattered across the
Speaker 1: dark velvet sky. In between every star there is vast space.
Speaker 1: The stars give each other room to twinkle, to shine,
Speaker 1: to have their space in our sky. They are beautiful, quiet, calm,
Speaker 1: just as you are, beautiful quiet. Come, and the darkness
Speaker 1: of night holds it all. It holds the space between
Speaker 1: each star. It holds the space for you to lie
Speaker 1: ever so still, resting, peacefully, calmly, the simple com Your
Speaker 1: mind is resting inside all of this spaciousness, and you
Speaker 1: just allow every thought to pass across the wide sky
Speaker 1: of your awareness while you just remain right here, ever
Speaker 1: so comfortable, support it.
Speaker 3: And peaceful.
Speaker 1: A thought can arrive and just continue upward. A memory
Speaker 1: can appear and just drift into the distance. A plan
Speaker 1: for another day just floats away, becoming smaller and smaller
Speaker 1: until it settles among the stars. Everything can wake, the
Speaker 1: night will hold it. The sky is wide enough, and
Speaker 1: your mind is free to rest. Now you can rest,
Speaker 1: and perhaps somewhere in the distance, you hear the softest
Speaker 1: night sounds, quiet song of crickets far away, A gentle
Speaker 1: breeze me through the lee. There you go, and every
Speaker 1: sound you hear reminds you that you are safe right
Speaker 1: here in this moment, that you are resting comfortably, that
Speaker 1: you were at me while the world continues quietly around.
Speaker 1: There is something deeply reassuring about remembering that the world
Speaker 1: turns even as you sleep. The stars continue shining, the
Speaker 1: night continues unfolding, Your bra continues moving in.
Speaker 3: And now.
Speaker 1: All by itself, everything essential is already being taken care of.
Speaker 1: You can release the need to remain mentally involved and
Speaker 1: let that sleepiness overcome you. You can let the thinking
Speaker 1: part of your mind grow quieter. Now there you go,
Speaker 1: as a subconscious part of you takes over the part
Speaker 1: that knows how to dream, how to let go of
Speaker 1: the day, the part that knows how to restore, the
Speaker 1: part that knows exactly how to guide you towards the
Speaker 1: natural sleep. Imagine now than every exile creates a little
Speaker 1: more space space inside your mind, a soft clearing, a
Speaker 1: quiet opening, a peaceful place where thoughts become fewer and
Speaker 1: silence becomes more are familiar. And so you're breathing in
Speaker 1: softness now can you feel that? And you're breathing out space.
Speaker 3: Allow that.
Speaker 1: You're breathing in calm and breathing out the last traces
Speaker 1: of the day. And as the sky grows darker, the
Speaker 1: stars seem even brighter. They are warm and serene, they're light.
Speaker 1: It has traveled so far, far enough to reach this
Speaker 1: peaceful night with you. And you may imagine that soft
Speaker 1: starlight settling deep into your body, almost like a delicate
Speaker 1: silver blanket. And it's bringing this light in to every breath.
Speaker 1: It's bringing this light deep into every cell of your body,
Speaker 1: flowing across your cheeks and down your throat, flowing over
Speaker 1: your shoulders and all the way down into your arm.
Speaker 1: It is a calm, quiet glow moving through your entire body,
Speaker 1: this gentle starlight and the steady support of the earth beneath,
Speaker 1: you feel so pleasantly heavy or wonderfully light, or perhaps
Speaker 1: you feel both all at once, heavy enough to feel
Speaker 1: so deeply supported just as you are, and light enough
Speaker 1: to feel free, free from the day, free to drift
Speaker 1: into a slower rhythm, free to follow this beautiful night,
Speaker 1: deeper into wrast, deeper into sleep. Sleep. The stars continue shining,
Speaker 1: the earth continues to hold you, and the whole night
Speaker 1: sky whispers with every twinkle that you can rest. Now,
Speaker 1: you can rest deeply, Now.
Speaker 3: You can soften.
Speaker 1: And drift as your mind becomes quieter. How's your body
Speaker 1: grows sleepier. And as your body grows sleepier, the stars
Speaker 1: above you seem to move further away until they become soft,
Speaker 1: dreamlin and viewed a flee blur. And you remain here,
Speaker 1: right here under the stars, warm, comfortable, and completely supported,
Speaker 1: all while the vast night sky grows quieter and quieter.
Speaker 1: All around, all around.
Speaker 3: Drift and ad wrastlessly.
Speaker 1: May the stars guide you so peacefully tonight through beautiful
Speaker 1: celestial dreams. Allow the starlight to guide your path tonight
Speaker 1: and too, sweet starry slumber, Good night, sweetest dream us Y, well,
Speaker 1: you remember anything
