Good evening! Bonsoir and Welcome to Big Belly Breathing, Bienvenue to health!

My name is Vanessa Hutchinson-Szekely, and I'm delighted to guide you on this soothing ocean bedtime journey filled with mindfulness and gentle breathing. 

Softly and slowly close your eyes and snuggle into your cozy bed, surrounded by the comforting warmth of your blanket. Draw it up to your face, allowing the soft fabric to embrace you. As you settle in, focus on your breath and the gentle rhythm of your heart. This month, we're exploring the soothing practice of heart diamond breathing. Envision a beautiful heart form as you take a deep breath in, and then let your imagination unfold a radiant diamond with each slow exhale. Enjoy this tranquil moment, repeating the process once more to guide yourself into a peaceful journey into slumberland. Breathe in the heart, breathe out the diamond, and let the serenity of the night embrace you.

For tonight’s journey, envision yourself in the tranquil embrace of the Outer Sunset in San Francisco, a special place filled with wonder and tranquility. Gratitude to our dear listener, Cala, for inspiring this soothing coastal journey just for you.

As we embark on a mesmerizing nighttime odyssey guided by the gentle whispers of the ocean breeze and the rhythmic lullaby of the waves, picture yourself strolling along the expansive Ocean Beach, where the golden sands stretch out to meet the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. The air is crisp, and the stars twinkle above, reflecting in the calm waters. In this serene setting, where the waters are often not calm, practice the art of patience, much like the ebb and flow of the tides. Allow the soothing sounds of the ocean to carry you through, embracing the patience it takes to navigate the unpredictable yet beautiful waves of life.

Our next destination on this magical journey is the iconic Windmill. Feel the soft grains of sand beneath your feet as you stroll down the beach towards the Windmill, and listen to the soothing melody of the ocean waves. Step away from the beach, cross into the soft cool grass of Golden Gate Park as you approach the windmill.  A tranquil glow illuminates the path, leading you to a hidden doorway. As you ascend, notice the calming rustle of the eucalyptus trees, whispering tales of patience in the night.

Reaching the top, you're greeted by the windmill's gentle hum, harmonizing with the Pacific breeze. Take a moment to absorb the breathtaking view of the moonlit ocean and the distant lights of the city. In this peaceful sanctuary, feel weightless, carried by the tranquility that surrounds you. Inhale the invigorating scent of eucalyptus, heightening your senses as you practice our heart diamond breathing. Picture a beautiful heart forming as you take a big breath in, and then imagine a glowing diamond as you slowly exhale. Let the soothing aroma and rhythmic breathing guide you through this enchanted journey, embracing patience in the embrace of nature's wonders.

Leaving the Windmill behind, a magical encounter awaits you. A playful sea otter joins your serene adventure, floating effortlessly in the moonlit waves. Inhale, imagining the otter's playful antics, and exhale, mimicking its joyful sighs. Together, you and the sea otter glide along the shore, sharing a dance of patience and playfulness under the starlit sky.

Now, let's deepen your relaxation by connecting with the enchantment of the Outer Sunset night.

Inhale the soothing whispers of the Pacific breeze, and exhale, letting go of any lingering thoughts.

Inhale... the gentle rhythm of the ocean waves. Exhale... release.

Inhale... the caress of the night wind. Exhale... drift softly.

Inhale... the distant serenade of the foggy city. Exhale... be at ease.

Inhale... the peaceful lullaby of the tranquil ocean. Exhale... embrace renewal.

As our bedtime journey continues, visualize yourself night surfing down the Great Highway on a light beam, the wind caressing your face, and the ocean waves providing a calming soundtrack. Feel the gentle rise and fall of the dunes beneath you, guiding you towards a place of serene tranquility.

As we approach the conclusion of our magical night adventure, imagine descending gently back into your cozy bed, cradled by the gentle night breeze. Wrapped in the serenity of the Outer Sunset, you're ready to embrace a restful night's sleep.

Goodnight, dear listener. May your dreams be filled with the melodies of the ocean and the tranquil magic of the Outer Sunset. Sleep well, and I'll be here for our next bedtime voyage. Bonne nuit! 🌙✨
