The Floating Night Cloud
Drifting to Quiet Stars
Whisper gently: 'Close your eyes and take a deep, slow breath in... then blow out a soft quiet sigh. Feel your cozy pillow holding your head so gently as your body settles.'
Say softly: 'Imagine a warm, fluffy cloud floating right beside your bed. It is soft as velvet and warm as your favorite blanket. Step onto it safely and rest.'
Whisper slowly: 'The cloud carries you up toward the calm night sky. Your arms feel heavy, your legs feel soft. You are warm, safe, and ready for peaceful dreams.'
