A warm welcome to this guided sleep meditation where you will drift among the stars,

Surrounded by the teachings of the constellations and immersed in the beauty of the universe.

Before we begin,

We will do a short relaxation session,

Preparing you for a good night's sleep.

Please remember that there is no right or wrong here,

And there is no particular way that you should feel in these moments.

Each experience is as unique as us all,

So try to let go of any pressure you might be putting on yourself to feel certain things or perhaps to fall asleep quickly tonight.

It doesn't matter if you do or you don't.

If you simply follow my voice and allow this meditation to wash over you,

Then you will enter a world of deep relaxation where you can rest and recover.

So,

When you are ready,

Just feel the eyelids becoming heavier and heavier with each passing blink,

Until they gently close.

Remind yourself that this is your time to relax.

There is nothing left to do and nothing left to think.

The day is done now.

Whatever has happened is already in the past,

And here,

In this moment,

The future is beyond our reach.

So if thoughts arise about the day or the week that has been or the days ahead of you,

Then acknowledge that these thoughts are completely normal and valid.

They are part of what makes us human,

Which is a wonderful thing,

But also kindly remind yourself that these thoughts or concerns are of no use to us now,

And tonight there is no need to engage with them.

They are simply thoughts,

As fleeting as shooting stars across a night sky.

You are safe tonight and you are protected.

You can be reassured by the fact that my voice and this meditation will never take you anywhere that is unpleasant.

Your sleepy cat is simply here to guide you on your own twilight adventures and to help you enter a world of magic and peace where you can be completely free.

And now we will do a short guided breathing pattern called 3-4-5.

This will allow you to slow down and relax,

Preparing your body and your mind for a wonderful peaceful rest.

When you are ready,

Breathe in through the nose for 3,

Hold for 4,

And breathe out for 5.

Let all of it go now.

Again,

That's in for 3,

Hold for 4,

And release,

Blowing away the thoughts of yesterday,

Today and tomorrow.

Again,

In for 3,

And let it go.

Continue to breathe in this way in your own time,

And with each breath out,

Allow your body to sink just that bit deeper.

Allow your breath to fall back into a natural rhythm.

Enjoy this new peace flowing through your body,

And let your breath become soft and easy,

Like the gentle ebbing and flowing of calm waters on a quiet shore.

Gradually,

You can begin to imagine that you are inside a huge protective dome that is completely clear.

Through the glass,

You start to see one or two stars slowly pulsing to life,

And as your eyes adjust,

You think that you can see the full curvature of the Earth.

You trace this long sweeping horizon and notice the shimmering silver dust in the atmosphere.

As you lie here,

Relaxed and heavy,

You give yourself full permission to let go tonight and to trust the stars,

The moon and the entire galaxy.

You repeat the words,

I am safe here.

I am safe here.

I am safe here.

And then,

Very slowly,

You feel all the weight start to leave your body as this huge dome begins to lift,

And you feel yourself rising up ever so slightly.

And below,

You can see the faint silhouette of trees,

Fields and houses as you drift higher and higher.

Gravity loses all control over you and there is no need for any effort now.

You let the soft,

Soothing hum of the starlight symphony wrap around you like a warm blanket,

Comforting you tonight and guiding your journey through the stars.

Now,

Your eyes have adjusted almost entirely and above you is an infinite sea of stars,

All pulsing in slightly different rhythms and creating a wonderful mosaic in the sky.

Gradually,

The trees fade from view,

The rooftops disappear one by one,

And the earth below becomes a swirling collage of deep blue,

Purple,

Silver and dark emerald.

Just then,

You start to drift through the thin wisps of cloud,

And they seem to wrap around your dome like a thin veil of silk.

Inside the dome,

There is a wonderful warmth that pulses with your breath.

And as you break through the last layer of cloud,

You emerge into the night sky,

And you are now floating in the middle of this starlight kingdom,

Surrounded by many constellations.

A wave of peace washes over you,

A sense of deep calm and the understanding that you are protected up here and that you are so safe.

Gradually,

Your dome begins to drift through the starlight sanctuary in slow motion,

And one by one you are greeted by different constellations.

The first constellation,

Orion,

The mighty hunter,

Brings the gift of courage.

As you draw near,

His light swells in a soft purple,

And you feel his message passing through your entire body.

Courage is not living without fear,

But it is the willingness to face the unknown and to trust your heart.

You allow this message to wash over you.

You know there is bravery inside of you,

Even and especially when you feel most unsure.

You begin to understand that courage comes in small steps,

And when you are walking an unfamiliar path,

That is when you must trust yourself the most.

You breathe in this message slow and deep,

And you sit with Orion for a moment as the velvet sky envelops you.

You give yourself permission to feel courageous and to trust the bravery within you,

And gradually your dome drifts past Orion and towards a huge starlight eagle.

The constellation of Aquila is soaring above you with a soft golden glow,

And as they pass overhead,

A new message greets you now.

There is so much out there to discover,

To learn,

And to explore.

Each day brings a new adventure.

Embrace them all.

You sit with this message and allow it to pass through you.

You know it is safe to leave the nest more often and to explore in big and small ways.

You can explore the world around you,

The people you meet,

And of course yourself.

Adventure and experience teaches us so much,

And out there is a whole world of discovery.

Before you know it,

You have moved past Aquila,

And in front of you now is Lyra,

A small harp pulsing in a soft green.

The starlight strings seem to pluck in slow motion,

And you wonder if it is Lyra all along who has created this soothing symphony that swells around you.

Lyra teaches you the beauty and the wonder that can be found in stillness.

It is within the sacred space between the notes,

The quiet between our racing thoughts where inspiration can find us.

Enjoy the music,

But trust in the silence,

For it is there that you will find what you seek.

You breathe in this message slow and deep,

Allowing yourself to embrace this moment of stillness.

You vow to give yourself moments of peace and quiet,

To let your mind wander through silence,

To find your inspiration and your truth.

You feel a new tranquility coursing through your body,

And you give yourself permission to just be in this moment.

Very slowly now,

You see a new constellation emerging.

Canis Major,

The pulsing red dog,

Man's best friend,

And tonight it is a symbol of love and companionship.

Love is like a pendulum,

It ebbs and flows,

It comes and goes,

But it never stops.

So long as you always have love to give,

Then love will always find its way back into your heart.

Once again,

You allow yourself to sit with this message,

To let it flow through you.

And gradually,

You can let your thoughts drift to all the things you love,

People,

Places and things,

Music,

Stories and animals.

Love comes to us in many forms,

And you give yourself permission to embrace them all.

And finally,

You drift deeper and deeper into the cosmos,

Until you reach the final constellation,

Cygnus,

The gracious blue swan,

Who teaches the power of surrender.

You float alongside Cygnus as he glides over the cosmic dust.

He does not resist,

He does not fight the currents,

He rides them with ease,

And he fills your heart with a new message.

You do not need to hold on to everything,

You do not need to cling so tightly,

Not every problem is yours to solve.

With a slow inhale and a long out-breath,

You release everything.

All of those things that you have carried for so long are fading away.

You are safe without them.

Worries,

The pressure and the burdens are dropping one by one,

And you are light and free.

You are gliding effortlessly and letting go of any holding on.

But of course,

The most wonderful surrender of all is surrendering into sleep.

You can trust the stars,

The universe and these constellations to watch over you tonight.

You can allow your body to relax,

Your mind and your soul to be soothed.

And gradually,

You are enveloped by this starlight kingdom,

And it surrounds your dome in a shimmering pattern of gold and silver orbs,

Creating a beautiful mosaic of dreams.

By bit,

You feel yourself softening more and more.

You are filled with all the wisdom of the constellations,

The comfort and warmth of your protective dome and the heaviness of this soothing symphony.

All of this creates the perfect concoction of sleep.

You are being held by the universe and you are completely safe here.

There is nothing left to do and nothing left to think.

You give yourself final permission to let go,

And you trust that your dome will guide your adventure tonight,

And these wonderful stars will guard your dreams.
