So this is the star meditation.
So you can do this when you're lying in bed or if you want to do it right now you can lie on the floor.
I want you to close your eyes and I want you to stretch your legs and your arms out as if you were a star.
So really stretch them out and let them relax.
I want you to imagine that in your hand appears a star.
It might be like one of those stars the luminous ones you put on the ceiling that light up in your bedroom if you have them on your wall or ceiling or maybe it's just in your imagination.
You imagine this beautiful bright star and just by magic it appears in your hand.
I'm going to ask you to put it somewhere on your body so you might put it on your head or the tip of your nose.
You might put it on your tummy.
You choose where you would like to put this star.
Just imagine you're putting it there.
Then when you think about your hand again another star has appeared in the same thing.
You imagine that there's another star and again you choose where you want to put that on your body.
Wherever you put it,
It just sticks.
It just connects to your body and you keep doing that over and over again.
You imagine the star in your hand it just appears and then you put it on any part of your body that you want to.
The parts that are sore or when you feel unhappy or when you've got too many worries or anything that hurts.
So again and again you just imagine your hand and then it pops a star and you place it wherever you want to on your body.
So maybe now you have lots of stars all over your body.
Maybe you've moved around to put those stars on your body just by imagining it or maybe you just lay still.
You just imagined all those stars popping up on different parts to your body.
Now this time when you look in your hand there's another star but this one's quite special because when you squeeze this star with your hand it means all the other stars on your body light up like stars you see in the sky.
So you just gently squeeze the hand holding this special star and all the other stars on your body light up.
It's amazing because you feel like one of the stars in the sky.
All of a sudden it's as if you're as bright as one of the stars in the sky.
And you're just amazed by this.
It feels really nice.
And when your arms and legs are stretched out it makes you feel like even more of a star stretching your arms and legs out like the star.
Now you start to notice that the stars change colour and just like a rainbow that's got lots of different colours the light in each star changes to different colours.
Some of the colours you maybe really like and some of them you're not too sure but they all come from this light in the star.
So you just watch and feel and imagine them changing through all the different colours of red.
Notice how the red colour makes you feel.
Orange.
Now you imagine all the stars the colour orange.
Yellow.
And you can feel all the different stars over your body lighting up with the colour yellow.
You notice how that makes you feel.
And then we have some green.
The green lights shining through these stars that you placed all over your body.
You notice how that feels.
Now they become pink.
And again just maybe it feels a little bit different each time it changes colour.
Maybe your body feels that little bit more relaxed and happy.
Now it's going to change to blue.
And all the stars are shining a beautiful blue light.
And now they're going to go really deep purple colour.
You notice how that makes you feel when they're this purple colour.
So all these different colours come from that light in the star.
And some of the colours you like,
Just like some feelings you like.
Like feeling happy,
Laughing,
Singing,
Giggling.
And some of the colours you maybe don't like so much.
That's like your feelings when you feel sad or unhappy or angry.
But they're still all colours that come from this star of light.
So now all the colours blend together again and they become this white star.
You notice how it feels to have all the stars that colour.
And then you start to imagine all your friends are stars.
And then all your family are stars.
Maybe some pets that you have are stars.
In fact your neighbours,
Children at school,
The teacher.
There's lots of stars everywhere.
And they too have lots of coloured stars and white stars just like you.
But you're coming back to your star now.
And knowing that whenever you need the light of that star,
Just remember to put the magic star onto your body.
Imagine it sitting there and then squeezing your hand round the special one that lights it up whenever you need it.
Because you're a very special star.
Filled with colour and with light.
