Welcome to this relaxing meditation.

This meditation will help to ground the nervous system,

Relax the mind,

Ease the muscles in the body,

Release the tissues and tension and just let the whole body relax so you can have a very deep,

Relaxing,

Peaceful sleep.

Take your time and just right now as you are settling into bed,

How would you like to support the body?

Stretching into bed and taking the sheets and just setting everything up in the most perfect,

Comfortable way for your body.

A pillow under the head,

Perhaps your favorite blanket.

Any support for the knees if you'd like as you bring all of the comfortable sheets and blankets over the body.

Feeling the weight of the blankets,

The sheets,

The comforter just on the body.

When this meditation is complete,

It will gently fade away into a quiet space as you enter a very comfortable,

Deep,

Relaxing sleep for the night.

Begin by bringing the awareness gently behind the eyes and allow this to be very gentle and yet very,

Very present,

Just an awareness gently behind the eyes.

Feel the eyes relax,

Feel the jaw relax,

Feel the wrists relax.

Bring a light awareness to your breathing.

Slow the inhale into the body a little.

Begin to lengthen the breath.

Let the breath get longer and longer.

And as you exhale,

Slow the breath out of the body.

Allow the exhales to be longer and longer.

With the inhale drawing the breath all the way down into the belly,

Feel the belly expand.

And as you exhale,

Gently release all of the breath out of the body.

Feel the muscles get heavy.

Feel the comfort of your bed underneath you and supporting you.

And at the base of the spine,

Just imagine a root that begins to grow down both legs,

Down through the knees and down through the bottoms of the feet,

Making its way down towards the earth.

As it reaches the surface of the earth,

With each exhale,

Just draw that root all the way down until you reach the center of the planet.

And just keep going.

You'll know when you arrive.

As you reach the center of the planet,

The core of the earth,

Imagine that root tendrils out into many,

Many,

Many roots all the way around you.

And that root tendrilling out into many,

Imagine all of the beautiful seeds of the earth and all of the roots connecting to every single seed.

And as you connect to all of the seeds of the earth,

The seeds begin to blossom into these beautiful flowers.

You can see the gorgeous colors,

The little petals,

The leaves,

And just this beautiful beginning of creation.

This is a very nurturing,

Loving,

Healing energy from the earth.

Divine Mother's love.

And into sense,

Perhaps the heartbeat of the earth.

Just imagine all of the little seeds and the flowers beginning to lightly pulsate in harmony with the earth.

Colors may rise and fall.

Trust anything that rises.

Trust your inner guidance.

Now in harmony with the pulsation of the earth and the seeds and the little flowers,

Begin to breathe that in into the roots.

And with each inhale,

Begin to draw that up towards the surface of the earth.

Breathe in and with each inhale,

Breathing it in all the way to the bottoms of the feet.

Entering the body,

Breathe it into your legs and into your knees,

Up into your hips,

Up into your heart,

Your shoulders and down your arms.

Breathe it into your throat and your jaw and your eyes.

And all the way through the crown of the head and imagine a halo over the crown of the head.

And it moves and travels through the halo towards the sky.

And each breath just draws out past the sky into the stars.

Galaxies upon galaxies upon galaxies of stars.

Let those roots connect to every single star.

As you connect to the star energy,

See if you can find your soul star.

Connect to that soul star.

This is a star that has your unique name and just make it up if you need.

Trust.

Notice that you can connect to all of the stars,

This infinite expression of the cosmos and simultaneously connect to your soul star.

Begin to imagine a beautiful liquid light,

Luminous,

Gorgeous,

Opalescent light.

Trust any color or colors that rise.

Connecting to that light,

Begin to pour it down from above from your soul star.

All the way down towards the earth,

Into the atmosphere of the earth.

Breathe it in all the way down through your halo down to the crown of the head.

Breathe it into your body,

All the way down the body pouring down this liquid luminous light,

All the way down the inner body.

Cascading down the body all the way down through the knees and the bottoms of the feet and one more time down into the earth,

All the way down to the core of the planet and let this liquid light from your soul star,

Let it water the seeds of the earth.

And the blooms bloom brighter,

Creation expanding and healing energy,

Moving up back through the roots,

Breathe it in all the way back up through the earth,

Through the bottoms of the feet.

Fill it in all the way up to your body.

Meet right in the center of your heart.

Just feel your heart energy connect to your heart energy.

Just breathe here.

Notice that you are connected both above and below the earth energy,

The energy of the cosmos and the body fully relaxed.

The eyes relax,

The jaw relax and the wrists relax.

Take a nice easy breath in and imagine in your dominant hand you are holding a beautiful sword of light and this sword is large and mighty and yet very very light in your hand.

You hold it with ease.

Now bring into your awareness any conversations you've had with someone else,

A glance,

Maybe something you've read,

Something you saw.

Just all of these connections that you make,

Either with your eyes,

Your voice and notice that with every single person,

Place or thing that there is a cord or a thread that connects you to them and them to you.

Look under the body,

Over the body,

The left and right sides in front of you and behind you and just notice all of the threads and the webs and the cords between you and this person,

Place or thing.

And you inadvertently connect your energy to someone else and they to you.

Sometimes just by a thought and over time these cords and threads and webs,

These energetic strings that are connecting you to all the things around you.

Over time they might feel heavy on your mind or your heart or just your energy feels low and so this practice of releasing cords,

This is a gift.

A gift you give to the person as well as a gift you give to yourself.

You release cords with love,

Freeing the other person and freeing yourself.

Your mind feels lighter,

Your heart feels lighter,

Your energy is relaxed and yet full of vitality.

So imagining all of these cords and webs and threads,

You might notice that with some more challenging conversations that the cords might be thick and heavy.

Others may just be very light and see through.

Take that sword of light in your dominant hand and begin to weave it around your body.

Go behind your body,

In front of the body,

Underneath your feet,

Over the crown of your head and the sword slices through these like butter with complete ease.

And there is a lightness and a deep profound sense of love and compassion,

Forgiveness.

Keep weaving the sword around your body as you slice away all of the cords and the webs and the threads.

You could even put it in your other hand and move it around the body one more time and just keep sweeping around the body until you feel as though all of the cords and the webs and the threads have been completely sliced through.

And you'll feel a sense of lightness.

You might even smile on the inside.

And as you release cords,

As you cut these energetic cords,

Always doing this from a state of love and complete respect and kindness and a sense of freedom that liberates everything and everyone.

Now when you feel as though this process is complete and take your time,

You are clearing away all of the clutter.

Clutter in the mind,

Clutter in your heart,

Clutter in the body.

And this clears your way to a deeper connection to your inner guidance and your intuition.

And when you can feel your intuition clearly,

You can follow it with more ease,

You will feel more relaxed,

More grounded.

Your mind is clear and you are able to make decisions and navigate your life in a way that flows and feels wonderful and amazing.

An incredible way of living where you wake up excited and rejuvenated,

Ready to take on the day.

So as you complete this process of cutting and clearing away these energetic cords,

Just one more time.

Just look behind the body,

In front of the body,

Below and over the body.

Maybe one more,

Weaving the sword around.

And as you complete the process,

Now notice all of the spaces in the body,

Where all of the threads and the webs and the cords were.

And as you cut them,

They completely dissipate and disappear.

And notice maybe all of these little holes in the body now.

This is a clearing.

The light inside of you,

Your heart energy begins to shine from the inside out through all of these little holes out into the world.

And the light becomes so strong,

So bright and so glorious that now your entire body is illuminated in a beautiful luminous light.

And just feel the luminous light of your body,

Your essence.

And as you do this,

You free yourself and others.

And feel the lightness of being,

The body fully relaxed,

The eyes heavy.

Let all of the muscles unwind and unravel.

All of the tissues release in the body.

And the bones rest and heavy to the earth as you wander off into a very deep,

Peaceful sleep.

Allow yourself a beautiful sleep.

Just allow your light to shine.

Everything working on your behalf.

A complete letting go.

And as complete,

Your relaxing meditation for sleep.

Just let everything else fade away.

Enjoy.
