Welcome to this healing meditation to bring you into a soothing,
Relaxed state,
Ready for deep sleep.
Turn the lights low and switch off any electrical devices other than the one you're using to listen on.
Lie down on your bed and let yourself sink into the mattress.
Plump up your pillows and feather your nest to find the maximum comfort.
Draw the duvet or blanket up and over you for a reassuring weight to hug your body.
Stretch your arms above your head and your legs to reach into their fullest length all the way to the tips of your toes.
Allow yourself a wide yawn and then settle back into the position your body naturally gravitates towards when it knows that much needed rest is on the horizon.
Gently let your eyelids flutter closed and your breath deepen.
Inhale and your belly rises and on the exhale it falls.
This time slower.
Inhale belly rise and exhale belly falls.
Again inhale belly rise and exhale belly falls.
Now allow your exhale to become twice the length of your inhale.
Inhale for one and exhale for two.
Again inhale for one and exhale for two.
Once more inhale for one and exhale for two.
Now inhale for two and exhale for four.
Again inhale for two and exhale for four.
Once more inhale for two and exhale for four.
Now let go of any control over the breath and let it settle into its natural rhythm having connected with the spine and bringing the nervous system to a deeper sense of stillness.
Now listen to my voice as I take you on a journey.
If you start to drift off that's totally fine.
Just let the words wash over you and through you like moonlight and trust you're exactly where you need to be having the experience you need to have right now in this moment.
You are on the edge of a beach at night on the full moon.
The air is warm as it caresses your skin with a gentle breeze moving in with a tide towards you.
Feel your feet sinking into the warm sand of the shoreline.
The sounds of the waves reach your ears in the quiet of the night.
The ink black sky is dotted with pinholes of the brightest light.
A miraculous painting of dazzling constellations each telling their own story from Chiron the Centaur to Orion the Hunter with his spectacular belt of three of the brightest diamonds always calling for your attention when you draw your eyes towards the heavens.
You feel wonder dear one.
You feel at home.
You are made of the same magical matter as the stars above you and right now you feel and sense every star dust cell in your physical body reflected in the web of light above.
These beautiful white lights of the sky hold court to mother moon.
She is at her fullest tonight and hold your gaze with her majesty.
You feel her pool just like the ocean.
As you inhale you feel her nurturing energy radiate towards you and as you exhale you feel it settle over your shoulders like a loving embrace.
Keeping the image of the moon in your mind's eye bring your awareness to the back of your head nestled into the pillow and a gentle warmth of soft hands resting onto your shoulders.
With each exhale they appear a little heavier.
Calming healing gently encouraging your shoulders to sink further into the bed holding you and settling you further.
They infuse you with nourishment with unconditional love with trust with peace right here right now in this moment.
Take a deep inhale and sigh away the day's events as you go deeper into surrendering to sleep.
The back of your head is relaxed.
Your shoulders are relaxed.
Your arms are relaxed.
Your hips are relaxed.
The back of your calves are relaxed.
Your heels are relaxed.
Your feet are relaxed.
The image of mother moon in her fullest beauty strengthens as you bring her radiance in the space between your collarbones.
Feel the warm light of her love settle into the well of your throat and softly permeate through your skin and into your body as she starts her nourishing journey.
Infusing you with healing beams of the purest light cleansing clearing a soothing balm for your weary soul.
You feel this radiance move slowly towards your right shoulder bringing additional warmth and depth to the hand already placed there supporting you down to your right elbow.
Your right forearm right wrist back of the right hand and then into your right palm you hold the white orb of the moon.
You feel her energy pulsing into your fingers.
Each super sensory digit alight with her power and her love.
Your hands an extension of your heart and feeling the full force of the unconditional love and creativity they wield.
This radiance then makes his journey back up over the top of your right hand to the right wrist,
Right forearm,
Right elbow,
Right shoulder and then settles back into the space between the collarbones.
Mother moon starts her radiant journey across to your left shoulder where you notice the extra warmth under the gentle and tender hand placed there holding you safe as you trust to settle deeper.
The white light travels down to your left elbow,
Left forearm,
Left wrist,
Top of the left hand and then into your left palm you hold the white orb of the moon.
Again you feel her energy pulsing into your fingers.
They tingle from the spark of her care and adoration.
Every cell of your stardust being ignited.
The white energy you hold in your palm moves softly to the top of your left hand,
Up along your left wrist,
Along your left forearm to your left elbow,
Up to your left shoulder and back to the well between your collarbones where you feel the light of the moon settle once more.
She starts her journey down to the space of your heart.
You feel her grow brighter.
Energy in emotion.
The radiance of unconditional love opening this vulnerable place you often hold closed for protection.
You feel trust to open this energy centre further still,
To allow the moonlight to clear away every darkened corner that has been hidden for so long.
This is love in its purest form.
Feel it pulse and radiate outwards as your whole torso lights up.
Inhale this light and exhale any remaining darkness.
Inhale love.
Exhale fear.
Inhale solutions.
Exhale challenges.
Inhale positive charge.
Exhale heaviness.
Inhale gratitude.
And exhale lack.
Within this space of trust,
Allow yourself to let mother moon transmute your energy through releasing any challenging patterns and replacing them with healthier ones.
I release angry thoughts and feelings to the moon's embrace.
I release thoughts of worry and embrace this new way to trust under the protection of the moon.
I am grateful for my many blessings and embrace this new attitude of gratitude under the guidance of the moon.
I practice expanding my consciousness and to shine my light just like the moon.
I am gentle with all beings including myself and will nurture and nourish unconditionally in tune with the rhythms and cycles of the moon.
Take a deep breath in and sigh it away softly from the space deep within your heart.
And as you do,
Sense the peace that comes with letting go,
Taking you deeper into the space where sleep beckons you.
The image of mother moon starts to fade as you settle into awareness of your body.
It feels heavy.
It feels nurtured and ready for restorative sleep and so do you fully.
Right here,
Right now,
In this moment you are drifting.
Drifting into the sea of starlight and becoming one to dance within the constellations as you slip into the realms of the night and the peace and stillness that touch you.
The soft hands upon your shoulders slowly move away so gently that their energetic imprint can still be felt in their absence.
A reminder you are held safe and loved dear one.
Rest now.
You are stardust.
Sleep deep.
