Inside Every Heart is a Candle

                                                                              Inside every heart is a candle,
                                                                Each candle sends out a light,
                                                  The light seems to be at its brightest
                                           When surrounded by velvety night.

                              This light in your heart expands
                         With thoughts that make you smile.
                      Let some of the thoughts of your happiest times
                   Flow through you…for a while.      
     
              As those thoughts flow and mingle,
           The light in your heart seems to grow.
         Relax and feel the light fill you...
       With a soft, gentle, magical glow.

     The light in your heart might be golden,
   Or might sparkle like a silvery star…
  The way it feels is the most special thing,
 Full of relaxing comfort and calm.

 You can almost see the light glowing,
 As it radiates out from your heart,
 The light flows all round your body now
  Bringing relaxation…and peace…to each part.

   It flows up…and around your head,
    Softening all the muscles in your face.
     Then it flows back down your neck and arms
       At a gradual…sleepy…smooth pace.

         It stays in your arms and hands glowing
          Then the light flows out to your chest…
             Moving gently through your tummy and legs
                It carries you into wonderful rest.

                     The light has reached your feet now,
                        As it fills you…you are nearly asleep.
                           The rest that comes from this light-filled state
                                Is beautiful, peaceful and deep.
                              
                                        Inside every light is a candle,
                                              Each candle its glow will keep…
                                                       All through the night your candle will shine
                                                                 As you're surrounded in velvety sleep.
