Welcome to Celestial Gems. I'm Gem, And I'll be your guide in this Labor Season practice. Let's take a moment. To settle in. Find a comfortable position. Sitting with your back straight and supported or lying down. Whatever feels right to you. Wiggle and bounce. Getting any excess energy out. Take your time finding your spot. And then, When you're ready, You might like to let your eyes gently close or soften your gaze on a spot in the room. Begin to notice the sounds around you. Imagine them drifting away. Into the background. On a light breeze and. . . As they do, See if you can allow your body to soften a little. Becoming a little more at ease. This is a season that moves like honey. Soft. Sweet. Slow. In astrology, Labor season invites us to explore beauty, Balance, And harmony. To linger in the pleasure of art and creation, To appreciate relationships that feel reciprocal, And to explore the balance between self and others. Let's see if we can bring your attention inwards now, If that feels comfortable. By taking a gentle breath in. Exhale whenever it feels good to you. Another breath in… This time. See if you can draw the breath a little deeper. And exhale. One more slow deep breath in and whenever you're ready let the breath out. As your breath returns to its usual pace. Perhaps you were noticing a certain ease, Your body becoming a little more softer. Maybe you can feel your breath moving through you a little more freely. Gently now, See if you can bring your attention to your body and the way it rests against the ground. With each breath in, Imagine if you like, The delicate scent of jasmine, Roses, Any flower you like. Slowly notice, If you like, These scents just beginning to drift towards you. Perhaps you notice a cool, Gentle breeze. Brushing past your nose. Bringing with it these delicate scents. It's okay if you can't quite imagine it yet. You can simply picture the flowers or let the idea of them be enough. With each breath in, The beautiful smells grow a little stronger. As you breathe out. Imagine. Emerald green grass spreading all around you, With flowers sprouting up through the dirt. Only to blossom instantly in the sparkling rays of a golden sun. Can you picture yourself there, Sitting in this luscious, Magical garden? Perhaps, Perhaps this is a garden you already know. Or maybe, Someplace completely fantastical, Somewhere completely new. If you can, Think about what you would like to see in this magical garden of yours. Are you sitting under towering trees with old rough edges of ancient bark? Or thick bushes of deep red roses. Perhaps there are sprinkles of yellow dandelions dotted around the garden. Maybe there are hazy purples of lavender bushes or tulips of all colors bopping about in the wind. See if you can visualize yourself looking around this garden. What are you seeing? You look around this incredible garden, Admiring all the beautiful creations your imagination has conjured. In the distance, You notice a woman moving sweetly towards you. Draped in all sorts of flowing clouds. Even from afar, You notice the kindness in her eyes. The softness in her smile. There is a sense of calm that she exudes. As she comes closer, Maybe notice how your body is feeling, Just checking in, Observing maybe any tensions easing, Almost as though, As though her calmness is gently washing over you. As she comes closer, You realize she is a version of you. Whatever gender you may be, She is the feminine energy that exists within. And she loves you. You out. She smiles at you, You smile back. Holding this image in your mind, You watch as she slowly makes her way towards you. As she does, She stops three separate times kneeling in front of three different blossoming bushes to select three very special flowers. The first, A deep red rose, Representing what you would like to attract. Your magnetism. Your ability to bring in your desires. The second. A bright yellow dandelion representing what you would like to release. Your ability to let go of what no longer serves you with confidence and ease. The final flower. Is a single stem of lavender. Representing what you would like to carry into your relationships. Balance, Mutual respect, And love. Without sacrificing your needs or boundaries. She kneels before you, Knees cradled in the sponge-like soil and soft grass. She asks you to hold out your hands. If you can, Try to visualize your hands in front of your lap. There she delicately places each flower in your open palms. Hold these flowers for a moment. Notice any feelings or sensations as they softly rest in your palms. Let's prepare to breathe together. With the red rose clear in your mind, Take a deep breath in through the nose, Drawing in the energy of magnetism. Hold at the top if you can. And then release as you exhale. The energy of the flower now exists within you. You are a magnet for all your desires. Second breath in, Clearly seeing the bright yellow of the dandelion, Feeling the energy being drawn into your body. And exhale. Feeling the confidence. That when you choose to. You can let go with strength and clarity. Bring your attention now to the lavender, Taking a soft, Deep breath through the nose, Drawing in feelings of balance, The sensation of calm when everything is in sync with one another. And then exhale. As your breath returns to its usual pace, Allow the feelings and images to settle within you, Like a quiet knowing washing over you. You thank her for these beautiful gifts. She nods, Reminding you that this is your sacred garden. A place you can return to whenever you need. But for now, We both understand it is time to go. She stands up and waves goodbye, Turns and begins to walk away. Fading gently back into the greenery. Take one final breath in through the nose or mouth, Whatever feels good to you. And whenever you're ready, Breathe out. Maybe you notice how freeing that breath out is. Maybe you notice how freeing those breaths are. Maybe you notice less tension in your body. Feeling lighter, More at ease, More balanced. Let's slowly bring your attention back. Into the room or area you're in. Maybe you're noticing the sounds around you. Tuning into them, They get louder, More present. Give your fingers and toes a light wiggle. Getting some energy into your rested body. Maybe you'd like to do a stretch. Whenever you feel ready. Open your eyes. Or focus your eyes and come back fully into the room you were in. Thank you so much for joining me today. I'm so grateful you took this time to practice with me. Until we meet again. Goodbye, My celestial friend.
