I am loved: sleep affirmations in a treehouse in the rain

Full script

The full narration script, as spoken. Pauses are left out. Rounds two and three repeat the same affirmations without the theme introductions.

Welcome

Hello, and welcome. You are so welcome here. Find a comfortable position, lying down if you can, and let your head nestle into the pillow. If you're wearing headphones, settle them softly... and when you're ready, close your eyes.

Tonight, we'll let the body soften, and then I'll speak some tender affirmations of love, each beginning with "I am". Just let them hold you, the way a warm room holds you on a rainy night.

Breath

Let's begin with a slow breath in through the nose... and a long, soft breath out through the mouth.

Again. Breathing in... and letting it all go.

One more time. Breathe in gently... and as you breathe out, place a little kindness on the breath.

Now let your breathing settle into its own pace. Just notice it... in, and out... soft as rain on the leaves.

Body relaxation, feet to hips

Imagine the soft glow of little string lights, resting on your feet. It's warm... tender... and loving.

Let it settle into your toes, your soles, your heels and your ankles. Let your feet rest, cared for.

The glow rises into your calves and your knees, softening them... letting them grow heavy.

It moves into your thighs and your hips. Let them sink into the bed, held like a hug.

Body relaxation, belly to crown

Now the warmth spreads across your belly and your lower back. Let your belly be soft and safe.

It fills your chest, gently, with each breath. Your heart feels warm and open.

Let it flow over your shoulders, down your arms, and into your hands. Let your hands rest, as if someone kind is holding them.

Your neck relaxes. Your jaw softens. Your eyes are heavy and peaceful... and your forehead is smooth.

And now your whole body, from your toes to the top of your head, is wrapped in warm, loving light... heavy... safe... and cherished.

The scene

Picture a little wooden treehouse, high among the trees, on a soft rainy night. String lights glow along the porch, raindrops sparkle on the leaves, and inside it's warm, dry, and peaceful.

I'll speak each affirmation, and then leave a little silence. Repeat it in your mind if you wish... or simply let it hold you. Either way is perfect. And if you drift off, you're in good hands.

I AM: loved

Let's begin with love... the warmest word there is.

I am loved.

I am deeply loved.

Love surrounds me.

I am cared for.

I am held, even in the dark.

I feel love in my heart.

Love is always close to me.

I am loved, I am safe, I am home.

I AM: loving myself

Now, words of love for yourself.

I love myself.

I am gentle with myself.

I accept every part of me.

I give myself the care I give to others.

I am my own good friend.

I deserve tenderness.

I forgive myself.

I am worthy of my own love.

I AM: connected

Now, think of the people who make your world feel warmer.

I am connected to the people I love.

I am never truly alone.

I am part of a circle of care.

The people I love carry me in their hearts.

I carry the people I love in mine.

I let others see the real me.

I feel the warmth of good memories.

I belong.

I AM: open to love

Now, words for an open heart.

My heart is open.

I welcome love into my life.

I give love freely.

I receive love easily.

I trust the people who care for me.

I let old hurts soften in their own time.

There is plenty of love for me.

Love grows wherever I go.

I AM: at peace in love

And finally, peace... the quiet that love brings.

I am grateful for the love in my life.

I am thankful for every kindness.

I rest in love tonight.

I release this day with love.

I am safe and warm.

My heart is calm.

Love will be here in the morning.

I am loved, and I am ready to sleep.

Transitions and farewell

Let's go through them once more... a little softer now. You don't need to follow. Just let the words fall softly, like rain on the leaves.

And once more, softer still... as the string lights glow low, and you drift toward sleep.

That's all for now. Let these words settle into you, like rain soaking gently into the earth.

You are safe. You are loved. And there is nothing left to do tonight... but rest.

Sleep well... and sweet dreams.
