Welcome,

Dear listener,

Tonight as we prepare to journey into a world of wonder and wisdom,

Let us take a moment to relax and center ourselves.

This time is a bridge between the noise of the day and the serene,

Sacred realms that await you.

Allow yourself the gift of stillness,

The promise of peace,

And the anticipation of an extraordinary adventure.

Begin by finding a comfortable position,

Whether lying in a bed or seated in a soft chair.

Feel the gentle support beneath you,

Holding you safely in this moment.

Close your eyes,

If you haven't already,

And take a deep,

Slow breath in.

As you exhale,

Feel the weight of the day begin to melt away.

With each breath,

Let yourself settle more deeply into calm and ease.

Now imagine a soft,

Glowing light at the center of your forehead,

Warm and soothing.

This light begins to expand,

Flowing gently over your face,

Down your neck,

And into your shoulders.

As it moves,

It carries away any tension or stress,

Leaving only comfort in its wake.

The light continues down your arms and into your hands,

Then spreads through your chest,

Back and torso.

Each part of you it touches feels lighter,

Softer,

And more at ease.

Feel this luminous glow travel further,

Reaching your hips,

Thighs,

And knees,

All the way down to your feet.

With every breath,

Your body becomes more deeply relaxed,

As though you are floating on a gentle wave of tranquility.

Now picture a soft,

Fluffy cloud beneath you.

This cloud cradles your body,

Lifting you effortlessly into the sky.

As you rise,

The world below fades into a quiet blur,

And the cool,

Crisp air of the heavens surrounds you.

The cloud carries you higher,

Past the stars,

Into a place of boundless beauty and serenity.

Soon,

You see a magnificent temple in the sky,

A sacred library surrounded by golden light.

The temple rests among the clouds,

Its towering walls shimmering like sunlight and water.

The cloud gently lowers you to the entrance,

And you step inside.

Within this library are countless books,

Their covers glowing softly,

Their pages filled with wisdom and wonder.

Each book holds a story,

A spiritual lesson,

Or a profound truth that has the power to transform your life.

These stories unlock peace,

Abundance,

And a universe of good fortune,

Revealing paths to harmony and fulfillment.

As you stand in this sacred space,

Take a deep breath.

Feel the wisdom surrounding you,

Embracing you.

Allow yourself to linger here for a moment,

Basking in the infinite potential of this realm.

Know that whatever story you are about to hear will speak to your heart and soul,

Guiding you toward new heights and possibilities.

Now,

With your body and mind at ease,

And your heart open to the magic of the sacred place,

Let us begin tonight's story.

Welcome,

Dear traveler,

To a celestial journey through the vast tapestry of the universe.

Interwoven with the timeless wisdom of Rumi,

Find a comfortable position,

Allowing the weight of your body to be fully supported.

Close your eyes,

And begin by taking a deep breath in,

And exhale slowly.

Imagine,

With each breath,

You are drawing in the serenity of the cosmos.

Picture in your mind's eye a vast,

Infinite expanse of twinkling stars,

Deep blues,

Purples,

And hints of green.

This is the universe,

And you are about to embark on a journey through its mysteries,

Guided by Rumi's insights.

Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you.

Unfold your own myth.

As Rumi once whispered,

So does the universe beckon you to explore its endless wonders.

With that,

Imagine yourself lifting off from Earth,

Soaring higher and higher,

Leaving behind our blue planet.

The Milky Way,

Our home galaxy,

Stretches out before you,

With each passing star.

Let go of any earthly worries,

Any tensions,

Any uncertainties.

Lose yourself.

Lose yourself in this love.

When you lose yourself in this love,

You will find everything.

As you drift deeper into space,

Imagine the galaxies as vast whirlpools of light and energy.

Each one is a dance of stars,

Planets,

And mysteries waiting to be uncovered.

Just as Rumi wrote,

Dance when you're broken open.

Dance in the middle of the fighting.

Dance in your blood.

Dance when you're perfectly free.

So do these galaxies dance in the vast ballroom of the universe.

Now imagine coming upon a cosmic bridge made of pure light.

This is the bridge of understanding.

The link between the known and the unknown.

The bridge to the soul is love,

Rumi whispered.

As you cross this bridge,

Feel a profound connection.

Not only to the universe,

But to your own inner self.

Every star,

Every planet,

Every nebula is a reflection of the wonders within you.

Floating through a nebula,

The birthplace of stars,

Colors swirl around you.

Crimson,

Gold,

Azure.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love.

It will not lead you astray.

Trust in this cosmic journey.

Trust in the wisdom of the stars and the path set by your heart.

As you continue,

You approach a black hole.

A place of immense gravity,

Where not even light can escape.

But instead of fear,

You are filled with curiosity and wonder.

Rumi reminds you,

The wound is the place where the light enters you.

In the darkness,

In the unknown,

There is a chance for growth,

For understanding,

For light.

Drawing away from the black hole,

You find yourself amidst a field of shooting stars.

A meteor shower.

Don't grieve.

Anything you lose comes around in another form.

As these meteors burn bright and then fade,

Be reminded of the impermanence of life and the beauty in every fleeting moment.

Now picture a serene planet with rings of shimmering light,

Much like Saturn.

Circling this planet,

You're reminded of the circles of life.

The connections we share and the cycles we all go through.

Don't think of him as a circle.

Think of him as the center of the circle.

Now,

In the vastness of space,

In the middle of infinity,

Find your center.

Find your grounding.

The journey continues to the edge of the known universe.

But here,

Instead of an ending,

You find a new beginning.

A gateway to other realms,

Dimensions,

And endless possibilities.

This is love.

To fly towards a secret sky.

To cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.

Let your spirit soar.

Let your soul expand beyond the boundaries of the known.

Now,

As your celestial journey with Rumi begins to draw to a close,

Find yourself gently floating back toward Earth.

Passing galaxies,

Stars,

And the mysteries of the cosmos.

Feel a deep sense of connection,

Not just to the universe,

But to your own inner cosmos.

To the endless wonders within your heart and soul.

Approaching Earth,

Let Rumi's words echo once more.

You were born with wings.

Why prefer to crawl through life?

Even as you drift back to the familiar,

Carry with you the knowledge that within you lies the boundless spirit of the universe.

As you re-enter the atmosphere of the Earth,

Feel the gravity gently pull you back to your resting place.

But remember,

Gravity is not just a force.

It's a gentle embrace,

Reminding you to rest,

To dream,

And to rejuvenate.

Now,

Slowly allow the wonders of space and Rumi's wisdom to envelop you like a warm cosmic blanket,

Guiding you into a deep,

Peaceful sleep.

Dream of galaxies,

Of love,

Of infinite possibilities.

Rest well,

Dear traveler,

Until the next journey.

As the final notes of this love song to your soul gently fade,

Allow yourself to sink even deeper into the embrace of this serene and sacred night.

Your body is a landscape of tranquility,

And your mind a clear and starlit sky.

Each breath you take is a soft,

Whispered lullaby from the universe,

Affirming that you are safe,

Loved,

And beautiful.

Imagine now that with each exhale,

You are sinking further into the tender arms of sleep,

As if you are being cradled by the night itself,

Like a feather,

Light and free,

Drifting slowly,

Gently,

Effortlessly downward into the soft,

Welcoming depths of slumber.

With every breath,

Feel yourself becoming a part of the night's tapestry,

Woven with dreams and drenched in peace.

Here,

In this space,

You are adored beyond measure,

A cherished part of the universe,

Drifting into the deepest,

Most nourishing sleep.

As I leave you now in this blissful state,

Remember that this peace,

This love,

Is always here for you,

As a constant,

As stars above,

And as close as your own heart.

Good night,

Dear soul.

May your dreams be sweet,

And your rest complete.

Sleep with grace.
