Welcome beautiful souls.
You have entered a sacred space.
A space of remembrance,
Of deep peace,
Of divine connection.
Here you are safe to soften,
Safe to release and to return to the origin of your being.
In this sanctuary you are held by the breath,
By the stars,
By the infinite light of the celestial nest that cradles your soul.
Today's journey is called Return to the Celestial Nest and it invites you to come home,
To journey beyond the noise of the world,
Beyond the stories of the mind,
Beyond the heaviness of the body and return to the source of your light.
The place where you are always whole,
Always loved and always free.
Imagine now the night sky stretching above you,
Vast,
Endless,
Shimmering with countless stars.
Each star a reminder.
You are made of this.
You are this light.
You are this vastness.
And as you breathe you begin to feel the soft embrace of the celestial home,
The nest of the starlight that has always held you and always will.
Your breath is your bridge,
Your breath is your wings,
Your breath is your guide.
With each inhale you draw in the cosmic light.
With each exhale you release all that separates you from it.
This is a practice of remembrance,
Of return,
Of deep belonging.
Together we will soar beyond and within and together we will return to the nest cradled by the stars,
At peace in your arms of the universe.
In this journey we will use euphoric connective breathing,
A continuous circular breath with no pause between the inhale and the exhale.
Your breath flow will be all in and out the mouth,
Steady,
Open,
Alive,
Like a soft wind moving through you.
This breath awakens your inner starlight,
Increasing oxygen flow,
Dissolving boundaries and guiding you to a state of deep connection and release.
We will move through rounds of active breathing paired with conscious breath holds,
Giving your system space to integrate,
To remember,
To come home.
There is no right or wrong,
There is only your breath,
Your experience and your return to the light.
Trust it,
Surrender to it,
Let the breath guide you back to your celestial nest.
The breath technique will sound like this.
Let's practice together now for three rounds,
Building our connection to the breath of return.
Beautiful,
So let's begin.
Find a quiet,
Safe place where you can lie down comfortably,
Where you can journey without interruption.
Lie down on your back,
Let your spine lengthen.
Soften your shoulders,
Let them melt away from your ears.
Let your arms rest at your sides,
Palm facing up,
Open to receive.
Close your eyes.
Feel the earth beneath you,
Holding you steady,
Knowing you are always safe,
Guided and protected.
Feel the sky above you,
Cradling you in light.
You are safe here,
You are supported,
You are guided.
So let's start by taking three cleansing breaths to arrive fully in the space.
So take a slow,
Deep inhale in through the nose and sigh it out through the mouth,
Releasing any tension.
Again,
Take a slow,
Deep inhale through the nose and sigh it out through the mouth.
Softening deeper.
One more time,
Take a slow,
Deep inhale through the nose and a long,
Slow,
Releasing sigh,
Letting it all go.
This is your foundation,
Your breath,
Your presence,
Your connection to your inner nest.
Before we start with the active breathing,
We're just going to set an intention.
So gently bring your awareness to your heart center,
The radiant light at your core.
Ask yourself,
What am I ready to release?
What truth am I ready to remember?
What part of me is ready to come home?
There is no need to force.
Let the truth rise naturally.
When you feel it,
Speak your intention aloud or silently.
Let it be your guide,
Your beacon as we journey home together.
Enjoy these last few moments of stillness.
We are going on a ride.
I will see you on the other side.
Let's begin with the active breathing.
On my count,
Three,
Two,
One.
Open your mouth nice and wide.
Two breaths in,
One breath out.
Into the belly,
Into the chest,
Exhale and let go.
Into the belly,
Into the chest,
Exhale and let go.
Super simple,
Super easy.
This is your invitation to step through the gateway of your breath and return to the home of your soul.
With every inhale,
You are calling yourself back.
Calling back the parts of you that wondered,
The parts of you that forgot.
And with every exhale,
Just let go.
Let go of the weight,
The stories,
The noise.
So keep taking those nice,
Beautiful,
Full,
Deep breaths.
Each breath a little deeper,
A little bit fuller than the breath before.
Feel yourself carried on this breath.
Carried closer and closer to your celestial nest,
Where you belong,
Where you are always held.
Into the belly,
Into the chest,
Exhale and let go.
Feel the rhythm building,
Steady and true.
Feel your diaphragm expand with every breath in front,
In the back,
At the sides.
If you don't feel the expansion,
You're not breathing deep enough.
Let this first round be your soft entry.
No forcing,
No rushing.
The most important thing is to bring as much oxygen into the body.
That is the medicine.
That is where the magic lies.
Just letting the breath guide you.
Into the belly,
Into the chest,
Relax and let go.
Allow your body to trust this rhythm.
Allow your heart to soften,
To open,
To receive.
Keep taking those nice,
Deep breaths.
Into the belly,
Into the chest,
Exhale and let go.
Keep going.
Take a few more of these breaths because we're coming up to our first breath hold.
And on my count,
Three,
Two,
One.
Fully exhale.
Let it all out.
Now inhale fully,
Bringing as much oxygen into the body.
Close your mouth and hold your breath.
Float.
Feel yourself weightless,
Safe,
Held.
You are resting in the arms of the cosmos.
In the nest that was always waiting for you.
There is nothing to do here.
Just be.
Just remember.
Keep holding.
Feel the silence,
The stillness.
A sacred pause where all is well.
All is whole.
All is love.
And on my count,
Let it go with a big sigh.
Three,
Two,
One.
Come back to your breath.
Come back to the technique.
Two breaths in,
One breath out.
Into the belly,
Into the chest.
Relax and let go.
Now let's go deeper.
You are no longer at the edge.
You are moving through the stars now.
The breath is your guide.
The breath is your light.
Two breaths in,
One breath out.
Into the belly,
Into the chest.
Exhale,
Let go.
Let the breath become a river of starlight.
Washing through you.
Clearing what's heavy,
What's tired.
Keep breathing.
Into the belly,
Into the chest.
Relax and let go.
Nice full,
Deep belly breaths.
Full expansion.
Feel your diaphragm expand.
Bringing all that oxygen into the body.
With each inhale,
Call back your truth.
Your light.
Your freedom.
With each exhale,
Letting go of anything that keeps you from feeling at home in yourself.
In this universe.
Allow the breath to open the space within you.
Space for remembering.
For belonging.
For peace.
Keep breathing.
Into the belly,
Into the chest.
Exhale and let go.
Feel the power building now.
Like a wave carrying you higher and higher towards your celestial home.
Keep trusting the breath.
Let it clear what needs clearing.
Let it open what is ready to open.
You are safe.
You are guided.
With every breath you rise.
Keep taking a few more deep,
Full breaths.
And on my count.
Three,
Two,
One.
Exhale fully.
Let it all out.
Now inhale fully.
Bringing as much oxygen into the body.
Close your mouth and hold your breath.
Feel yourself fill with the light of home.
Feel the peace of this place.
The peace that was always yours.
Keep holding.
You are part of the stars.
You are part of the great mystery.
You are safe.
Let your awareness rest in this truth.
Let it wrap around you like a starlight.
And on my count.
Let the breath fall away softly,
Gently with a sigh.
Three,
Two,
One.
Come back to your breath.
Come back to the technique.
Two breaths in.
One breath out.
This is your final round of active breathing.
Your most powerful offering.
Lean in and give it all you've got.
If you can breathe a little deeper and a little fuller.
And if you can push a little faster.
This is the last minute.
So give it all you've got.
Now,
Beloved.
This is your return.
This is your rising.
The breath becomes your wings.
Lifting you home.
Two breaths in.
One breath out.
Into the belly.
Into the chest.
Exhale.
Let go.
Feel yourself being drawn back into the great nest of stars.
The place where your soul began.
The place where your soul is always welcome.
With each breath,
You are reclaiming your place in the universe.
With each breath,
You are reclaiming you are part of it all.
No need to strive.
No need to force.
Just let your breath carry you.
Into the belly.
Into the chest.
Exhale.
Let go.
Lifting.
Expanding.
This is your return to wholeness.
This is your return to peace.
Let the breath show you the way.
You are rising.
You are remembering.
You are home.
Keep taking those nice,
Full,
Deep breaths.
On my count.
Three,
Two,
One.
One final time.
Exhale fully.
Let it all out.
Now inhale fully.
Inhale all the love.
All the light of your celestial home.
And then hold your breath.
This is your moment of union.
Feel yourself one with the stars,
The sky,
The infinite.
There is no separation.
You are home.
You are light.
You are whole.
Keep holding.
Rest here as long as your body allows.
Held in the embrace of the universe itself.
And on my count.
Three,
Two,
One.
Let the breath fall away with a sigh.
Soft,
Pure,
True.
It's time to return to your normal breath.
As we start to normalize and integrate.
Close your mouth.
And begin to breathe slowly and gently.
In and out the nose.
As you inhale,
Feel your belly rise.
And as you exhale,
Feel it fall.
Let your breath return to its normal,
Natural rhythm.
Rest now,
Beautiful soul.
Feel yourself anchored in this knowing.
You are home.
You always were.
You always will be.
You are the universe breathing itself.
Rest in this truth.
Let it fill you.
Let it guide you.
Feel your body soft and light.
Feel your heart open and full.
Feel your soul resting in the celestial nest.
There is nothing to do now.
Just be.
Let the light of the stars weave through you.
Let the peace of the universe fill you.
You have returned home.
You are whole.
And you are held.
When you are ready,
Gently bring some small movements into the body.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Move your ankles and wrists.
Maybe take some slight movements side to side with your neck gently.
If you want,
You can bend your knees,
Bring them into your chest.
And give yourself a beautiful squeeze.
Stretch if it feels good.
When you are ready,
You can slowly open your eyes.
Welcome back.
Well done,
Beautiful souls.
