Night Sky

Relax, recharge, centre and go on a magical journey into the night sky at the end of your day. You can use this to relax in the evening or to go to sleep although the music does swell towards the end. I hope this meditation brings you some peace, insight and a little adventure to finish you day. Music written and performed by Andy Hobson.

Now it's really time to relax and wind and find that stillness within you.

So just noticing where you're at right now.

Are you sleepy?

Awake?

Is your mind busy?

Quiet?

Are you still not able to quite let go of the day?

So really setting your intention for this meditation to do as best you can,

Really come into this moment and be present.

This is a time just for you.

So settling into your chair,

Cushion or meditation bench,

Making sure you're warm and in a place you won't be disturbed.

So beginning by noticing your body,

Feeling the weight of your body going down into the ground.

With your back nice and straight but not stiff,

With a sense of uplift and loosening and releasing your feet,

Your calf muscles,

Your upper thighs,

Your lower back,

Belly,

Chest,

Your shoulders and upper back,

Loosening your neck and your face.

And just checking in to see if you have a particular facial expression,

Really relaxing your face,

Relaxing your head and then breathing in and imagining your breath going all the way down into your feet and breathing out and as you breathe out really giving yourself permission to be here and now.

There's nothing that you need to do and there's nowhere that you need to be.

This is your time to unwind.

And give yourself some positive energy,

Letting go of any thoughts about things that you didn't manage to finish today and also what's waiting for you tomorrow.

Neither of these exist in this moment so you're free to be here and now and you cannot change the past and you cannot change the future.

You're here now and you cannot change the past and the future is unknown.

So right now is the most important moment that you have.

So approaching this meditation with kindness towards yourself,

Whatever day you've had,

Bearing in mind we're human beings and we can't please everyone.

So now bringing your attention to your breath,

Your breathing and you might notice that your nostrils,

Feeling the cool air coming in,

Your breath,

Your breath,

Your breath,

Your breath,

Your breath,

Your breath,

Your breath,

And you might notice that your nostrils,

Feeling the cool air coming in and the warm air going out or maybe down at your belly,

Feeling it rising and falling.

Feeling it rising and falling or you might want to tune into the whole of your body breathing as it rises and falls.

So just resting your attention on your breath.

And noticing the qualities of your breathing.

Does it feel laboured?

Does it feel light?

Are you breathing quite deeply?

Or is your breathing quite gentle?

So just continuing to bring a gentle playful curiosity to your breathing and letting everything else fall away,

Leaving just the awareness of your breathing and really making that intention as you do this to be in this moment.

So so and if your mind's gone for a wander away from the sense of your breathing,

Maybe off into thoughts,

That's okay,

That's what our minds do.

Just gently but firmly bring your attention back to your breathing,

Back to this breath and back to this moment.

So so and as you breathe,

Visualize the peaceful night sky above full of stars and if you want to,

You can imagine your body floating up into the night sky as you sit amongst the stars.

So just visualizing this.

So feeling the spaciousness,

Calmness and openness of the night sky and bringing that into your body and noticing the bright stars too and also bringing them into your body,

Allowing them to light up even the darkest areas.

So so and then noticing the moon,

Grounded,

Bright and calm and embodying the qualities of the moon in your body as well.

Feeling grounded,

Stable,

Centered and calm as you sit with your breathing.

So continuing to breathe with your night sky body,

Grounded,

Bright,

Open and calm.

So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so

I listen to this in an outdoor hot tub in the evening. With the Moon high above. I thought I was relaxed, but as the meditation went on I found my arms that were resting. Softly beside me slowly float up halfway in the water and then after a while to the surface and then after a while further on their own opening up wide. What a lovely way to spend a hot tub evening!

Loved it! 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
