Welcome.
This is a meditation for either a day nap or to take you off to sleep.
There will be no bell at the conclusion of this recording.
Let's begin by relaxing down to a deeper state of consciousness,
Where all barriers are dissolved and we can explore in a free and easy way.
Take a deep breath,
Stretch your arms high above your head,
Arch your back,
Reach and breathe out.
Relax the arms.
Open your mouth wide if that's comfortable for you and hold it there until a yawn comes.
Breathe in,
Reach up,
Reach high and relax.
Give a little smile.
One more time,
Reach up high,
Breathe in,
Stretch your fingers and relax and smile.
Lovely.
Let the yawns come now whenever they need.
Otherwise just breathe slow and deep.
Run the first two fingers of each hand out along your eyebrows,
Like an Egyptian eye shape.
Let your fingers flick outwards over the temples.
That's it.
Use the palms of your hands to gently smooth your forehead up into the hairline,
One hand after the other.
And feel the muscles soften and smooth.
Yawn if you need to.
Now use the whole of your hands to gently stroke from the crown down the sides of your head.
You can say this with me,
Mmmm,
That little smile.
Delicious.
Now let's use your third finger and thumb,
Make little squeezes along the outside edge of each ear,
From the top to the bottom.
Go around the block again and get your thumbs in under the back of your ears and rub in that little dent.
Just relax your jaw.
Rub all the way up along the back of the ear.
Then use your first finger to massage that little part of the ear in the front that sticks out and protects the ear hole.
Mmm,
I like rubbing a little inside the curve of the ear as well.
This is all a great way to get you into the present moment.
Lovely.
Now make some long strokes down the sides of your beautiful long neck.
So long.
And down around your breasts or chest,
Curve back in underneath them to the centre like you're drawing a big heart shape.
And stroke down the centre of your torso towards your legs.
Mmm,
Do that big heart shape a couple more times.
Around the chest,
Curve back in by the ribs and down towards your legs.
Keep going.
And stretch your toes and your feet.
Pull up your knees like a ballet dancer.
Crunch your tummy and lengthen your feet away from you.
Stretch out.
And relax.
Lovely.
Gently circle the sides of your hips with your hands.
One more time.
Pull up your knees,
Firm your stomach,
Stretch your feet away from you.
Longer,
Longer,
Longer.
And relax.
And turn your toes to the side so you stretch your heels and your ankles.
Archilles tendon.
And relax.
Lift and drop your shoulders a few times.
And deep breath into a yawn.
And relax.
And give a little smile.
What a beautiful body you have.
You can be so grateful for this body and all its working parts.
We are so lucky for these body parts allow us to express ourselves,
To be creative,
And to show love to all those around us in many different ways.
So quietly now,
Without judgement,
Make a check over the whole body from bottom to top.
Relaxing each part.
Releasing any tension as you go.
Start with feet,
Ankles,
Calves,
Knees,
Thighs,
Hips.
Let it go.
Back.
Belly.
Relax.
Chest.
Shoulders.
Upper arms.
Elbows.
Lower arms.
Hands.
Relax those hands.
They work so hard for you during the day.
Deep breathing.
Come back up to your sternum now.
And round the back to the trapezium.
It's those triangle muscles behind your neck.
Relax them down.
Your throat.
Your jaw.
Face.
Forehead.
And the thin layer of muscle over your head.
Just relax.
And turn your attention to the centre of your torso.
Look deeper into the centre.
Deeper.
Deeper.
Deeper.
Find that one point which is the little projector of this hologram body.
A little spark of light.
Rest your gaze.
And look with love upon that little spot of light.
Give a little smile.
Let's stay focused here now as we explore the possibilities.
If you find your mind gets distracted with thoughts up in the head,
Simply draw your attention back to here where it's quiet and calm,
Peaceful and wise.
From this point,
Contemplate who is this character that you are playing.
You have played many characters before.
In other lifetimes perhaps.
But even in this lifetime,
Your character has changed.
Much of who this character chooses to be was shaped by the influences of others that have been around since it was birthed into this world.
It was taught how to be good,
How to behave,
How to fit in,
Be considerate to others,
And not ask for too much,
To be quiet,
Be obedient,
And later be streetwise,
How to play the game by the rules of society.
And sometimes the character followed the rules which pleased everyone else.
And sometimes the character rebelled,
Just to see where the boundaries lay.
It was a very natural exploration in order to find the exact boundaries of that moment.
As this character grew,
It created its own view of those boundaries and saw others might have a different place for those boundaries.
It might also have blurred the lines between the laws of the universe and the laws of society.
The laws of the universe are based on love.
The laws of society are based on fear.
The laws of the universe last forever.
The laws of society change and bend,
Sometimes with narrow boundaries and sometimes broader,
But always changing depending on who placed themselves in a position of authority.
We are currently in a state of great change,
Great change for the better.
If you see chaos around you,
Squirming and grumbling and anger,
Outrageous behaviour,
It simply shows you the old systems which held your society in narrow boundaries are crumbling,
Breaking down,
Opening the most wonderful opportunity to form a new system.
A system which matches your desires for more freedom,
Prosperity,
A clean environment,
A self-governing society using common law and the laws of the universe which are based on love.
What an amazing opportunity this opportunity has not appeared so vividly for thousands of years.
Here's your chance to get creative,
Inventive,
More joyful and to shape a society where everybody has enough,
Can relax and enjoy their days on this beautiful planet.
With society and the systems changing,
You have a great opportunity to change this character as well.
You can change to be exceptional compared to who this character was before.
Freedom is yours.
Visualise all the busy life of society around you fading out of the picture.
The noise becomes quiet.
The constructs of squares and rectangles crumble away.
You are now in a deep,
Peaceful void,
Just floating,
Perfectly comfortable.
You look around and you see nothing,
Just dark like a blank slate.
All love,
All potential,
All poised,
Waiting for your creativity to spark a new version of this character.
In this deep,
Beautiful space of potential,
Let me ask you a question.
You don't need to think with your brain to come up with an answer.
Simply sit with the question.
The answer might come today,
But there's no hurry,
Because the answer will come at the perfect time.
When it does,
You will know it was not a brain-based choice,
But a message from the heart.
A message from the true you that existed even before this character was born.
There's no hurry.
Just let it sit,
As we'll do for a couple of minutes now,
In silence.
Here is the question.
If you gave up pretending to be average,
Who would you be?
If you gave up pretending to be average,
Who would you be?
If you gave up pretending to be average,
Who would you be?
Let's start to shape that very gently now.
Create no words in your head.
Simply feel the answers.
Feel them.
As an exceptional version of this character,
How would you stand?
How would you observe the world?
How would you greet people?
How would you listen to them?
How would you give?
How would you speak?
How would you move?
How would you care for yourself?
Let's picture this version of your character using a colour wheel,
If you can imagine it.
Think of a colour wheel where the outside edge has all the brightest colours of the world.
Remember,
Flowing around the outside.
Yellow to lime to green to aqua to blue to purple to red to orange and back to yellow again.
In the very centre of the wheel is black,
So the smallest circles as they head towards the centre are very grey versions of the colours and they get brighter as they grow out to the largest edge of the circle,
Which is bright.
Do you see it?
And let's say that your character,
Up to this point in time,
Has been flowing around the smaller circles,
Rather grey indeed.
And sometimes it doesn't even visit parts of that little circle,
It just stays fairly muted,
Fairly predictable in its choices of what it does,
How it behaves.
A kind of a dull grey.
And from this moment on though,
This character is exceptional.
It has expanded in every way out to the largest circle of the wheel.
It's vastly changing in its colours,
Rich in pigment and variety,
Exploring all the circle,
All the colours.
Spontaneous,
Creative,
Playful,
Thrilling.
It can retreat into the darker,
Quieter spaces to rest for a bit and then bursts back out to use the full colour wheel when it's ready again.
Let's expand that further.
The boundary or the edge of that colour wheel now dissolves and it can expand out beyond the bright colours,
Where each colour gets lighter,
Lighter,
Lighter now.
Where light incorporates all colours at once.
And then you can draw back to the vivid colours to express yourself once more.
First up here,
Over to the side,
Diagonally opposite,
Another colour altogether,
Out into the light,
Around the curve,
Back into the vivid and vital colours again.
So much movement,
So much variety,
So much more fun.
If you gave up pretending to be average,
Who would you be?
Bold,
Brave,
Free to be yourself,
Taking big strides in the world with grace and ease,
Speaking your truth,
Free of the old constructs and old systems and old expectations,
Aligning with the laws of the universe again.
Laws of love,
Of integrity,
Of paradox,
Of attraction.
When you are completely happy and joyful,
Moving powerfully in your truth,
All other areas of life fall into place.
You create heaven on earth,
You draw in more characters aligned with your vision and your integrity.
And this time you win.
This time you succeed,
For the wind is at your back,
Aiding all the new loving images you create for yourself and for this world.
You are exceptional,
Exceptional.
You are much loved.
