The Cosmic Shaman's Deep Sleep Dreaming Circle Welcome dear soul,
Welcome to this sacred journey of deep rest and inner peace.
In this meditation your invitation is to cross the threshold and into the Shaman's Dreaming Circle,
A place where ancient energy,
Timeless wisdom and the soul of the universe meets to cradle you into the deepest sleep.
Allow yourself to get really comfortable into your place of sleep and rest.
Wherever you are,
Let your body begin to settle.
Feel the weight of your physical form melting downwards,
The pull of gravity anchoring you softly into this present moment.
Take a deep breath in and exhale with a sigh.
Again a slow inhale through the nose and a gently exhale through the mouth.
Let your breath become slower,
Deeper,
More rhythmic and natural,
As if your body is being rocked by the gentle sway of the cosmos itself.
As you breathe,
Begin to imagine a golden light flowing with each inhale and with each exhale releasing any tension,
Releasing worry,
Releasing thoughts,
Releasing all that no longer serves you.
There is nothing left for you to do tonight.
No one to become.
Nowhere to go.
Only this moment of surrender.
The journey you're about to take is sacred,
Guided by ancient wisdom wrapped in the energy of the universe,
Protected by your ancestors.
They are in your DNA and their presence gently surrounds you,
Warm,
Loving and proud.
They've been waiting for you to arrive at this moment.
This is your dreaming time.
Let your mind become quiet.
Let your body become still and trust your soul knows the way.
As we begin with an earth connection body scan,
Bring your awareness to your feet,
Both feet,
All 10 toes,
Your heels,
The soles and the tops of your feet.
Soft.
Let them grow heavy,
Soft.
Let them be completely relaxed.
Notice the temperature,
The texture,
The energy beginning to slow and soften.
Awareness to your ankles,
Feel the release as they let go of holding as if warm water is flowing around,
Soothing the joints,
Healing them.
Awareness to your lower legs,
Your calves,
Your shins,
Gentle waves of warmth flowing upwards from the soles.
Feel a gentle warmth moving through them like the healing energy from the earth.
Knees,
The kneecaps softening.
Feel all the tiny muscles and tendons around your knees,
Unwinding.
And now your thighs,
The large muscles of your legs are surrendering to stillness.
Let them melt into the support beneath you.
Both legs are now heavy and deeply relaxed,
Still and easy.
Your awareness moves now to your hips and pelvis.
Feel the support of the surface beneath you.
Let your hips drop deeper into that support and release and soften the lower back.
Allow the pelvis to feel grounded,
Wide,
Open.
Feel yourself held by the womb of the earth.
And as your awareness now moves to your lower abdomen,
The belly rises and falls with each breath.
Soft,
Open,
Relaxed.
Let the organs inside release,
Unwinding.
Feel the digestive center softening,
The sacral space melting.
A warm amber glow begins to form in your belly,
Calm and steady.
As your awareness moves to your ribcage,
Feel the space your lungs create as they expand and contract.
With every breath,
Tension dissolves.
Let the breath massage your ribs from within,
Bringing movement and softness.
You are breathing in calm and exhaling any remaining strain.
Now your chest,
Awareness to your heart beating within,
Your sacred center.
Let it soften and open.
Feel a warm,
Peaceful energy radiating from your heart.
This energy spreads like sunlight across your chest,
Filling every cell with ease and kindness.
Let this warm energy flow into your shoulders,
Releasing any weight you carry there.
Let the shoulders drop,
The upper back and the spine soften.
Let the shoulder blades sink into rest.
Feel the lines of tension melting away.
Bring your focus to your arms,
Upper arms,
Elbows,
Forearms,
Wrists,
Hands,
And each finger.
From the thumbs to the pinkies,
Let the hands rest effortlessly.
Feel the pulse of life gently flowing through them,
Like the beat of a drum in perfect harmony with the earth's rhythm.
Now move to your neck.
Feel it lengthened and softened,
Like a tall tree relaxing after standing strong all day.
Now let your jaw unclench.
Allow the tongue to rest in the bottom of your mouth.
Let the corners of your lips turn ever so slightly upwards into softness,
Into stillness.
Feel your cheeks soften,
Your nose,
Your eyelids heavy and still,
Your temples,
Your forehead,
Smoothing out any lines of the day.
Let go of thinking,
Let go of trying.
And finally,
Bring your awareness to the top of your head.
Allow any sensations of spaciousness and light to open,
As if your crown is connecting to the stars above.
Your entire body now fully relaxed,
Head to toe,
Inside and out,
Held by Mother Earth,
Cradled by the universe,
Safe,
Supported and ready to enter the dreaming realm.
Now with every breath you breathe,
Allow yourself to drift deeper into dreaming.
As we begin this sacred countdown from 10 to 0,
Guiding you gently into the dream time realm.
10.
Feel yourself stepping fully into the sacred circle.
Your body is softening,
Your spirit is awakening.

A sense of ancient energy rises up from the earth to meet you.
You are safe,
You are wrapped in stillness.

The stars above glimmer with recognition they've been waiting for you to arrive.
7.
The fire at the center crackles softly,
Whispering in a language only your soul remembers.
6.
Your heartbeat slows,
Sinking with the rhythm of the sacred drum,
Deeper and deeper still.
5.
You feel your spirit begin to loosen from the world of walking.
You are floating,
You are free.

Your breath is effortless now,
Like the tides of the ocean under a starlit sky.
3.
The ancestors encircle you with love and wisdom.
Their presence dissolves all fear.
2.
You are weightless,
Timeless,
Part of the infinite web of the universe.
1.
Only peace remains,
Only softness,
Only the gentle hum of the cosmos.
0.
You are now in the sacred dream time.
Fully immersed,
Fully safe,
Fully home.
2.
You are walking through a forest at night.
The trees part before you,
Ancient guardians of the path.
The moonlight guides your steps,
Shining,
Illuminating the path.
3.
Each breath you take draws you closer to the unseen world,
The realm of dreams and spirit.
4.
Ahead of you,
Glowing in the night,
A circle of stones and starlight appear.
5.
This is the cosmic dreaming circle,
A sacred space of soul remembrance,
Protected by spirit,
Honoured by time.
6.
As you step into the circle,
The energy shifts.
7.
The world becomes quieter,
Slower,
Softer.
8.
You are no longer walking,
You are floating,
No longer thinking,
You are remembering.
9.
In the centre,
A fire shivers gold and blue flickers.
10.
Its flames dance in rhythm with your breath.
11.
It is not a fire of destruction,
But a fire of dreaming.
12.
Surrounding you now are your ancestors,
Their silhouettes illuminating by the firelight.
13.
They do not speak in words,
You feel their communication,
You feel their protection,
Feel their love and feel their knowing.
14.
They are here to guide your dreaming journey,
To whisper wisdom into your sleep,
To walk beside you in unseen realms.
15.
You feel the heartbeat of Mother Earth,
And your heart begins to beat with her.
Slower,
Deeper,
Quieter.
16.
You feel yourself descending,
As if being lowered into sacred waters,
Into the womb of warmth,
Safety and healing.
17.
The stars shimmer like watchful eyes.
18.
The circle around you hums with light,
And you are laying down,
Curled within the arms of Mother Earth.
19.
Cradled by your ancestors,
Wrapped in the breath of the night.
20.
Let the dreams begin,
You are home,
You are love.
21.
As you move into the dreamtime,
I will say some shamanic affirmations,
And they and the ancestors will guide you deeper and deeper.
No need to say them.
22.
Letting the affirmations flow into your being,
Receiving them,
Without needing to remember.

Into your dreamtime.
