“Welcome. As you settle in, let’s start with a few deep breaths. Take a full breath in… and gently exhale. Let your mind and body slow down, releasing any tension. With each breath, feel a gentle wave of calm flowing from the top of your head down to your toes.
Now, begin to feel the weight of your body resting, sinking deeply into this comfortable space. Slowly shift your awareness to each part of your body, beginning with your feet… your legs… your torso… and finally, your neck, head, and face. Notice each area relaxing, releasing any remaining tightness.
Now, imagine yourself in a peaceful, safe place-perhaps a calm forest, a beach, or a tranquil garden. See the colors around you, feel the textures, and hear any soft sounds in the background. Allow yourself to fully experience this place, bringing every detail into focus. With each breath, sink deeper into this scene, feeling safe, calm, and aware.
As you immerse yourself, gently repeat in your mind, ‘I am aware in my dreams. I will recognize when I am dreaming.’ Let this intention settle deeply, becoming a gentle reminder for when you enter the dream world.
Now, let your mind drift naturally. Notice any colors, shapes, or images that come to you, letting them pass through your awareness. Stay relaxed and observe them without attachment, simply letting go.
Allow yourself to drift softly into sleep, carrying with you this calm awareness. You are open to recognizing and experiencing your dreams fully, knowing you can find clarity and insight within them.”
