Evening springtime. Take a deep breath. And prepare to relax. As you settle your shoulders and soften your gaze. You are listening to Time for Rest. Transition into safety. Meditation in the Nocturne series. I invite you to relax now. As if you were being held in a safe and loving embrace. Notice the silhouette of your body in time and space. Slowly. You begin to outline the crown. Of your cranium. In a soft white light. This light travels down toward your ears. Drawing around their shapes. Settling the weight of the ears downward. Towards the Earth. You watch as this relaxing soft light continues to flow around your silhouette like a cocoon. As it makes its way down your neck. As it reaches the tops of your shoulders your shoulders. Draw. Falling towards the earth. They roll away from the headspace. Relax. And easy. You follow this subtle line of light. As it shapes around your arms. Moving downward. Along the arm bones. And gathering. As tiny points of light. . . At each of your fingertips. The light rolls down your torso, Just like a dream. Unrolling itself down a window. From the heart space down to the pelvis. Outlining. Your upper body. With its luminous aura. You take several smooth breaths in and out now. As a gentle glow fills the pelvic bowl light. And breath. Light. And breath. Like water. Fills the hips. And you release tension from the muscles. Listen you. The bone. Of the pelvis. This relaxing line of light runs. Now, Down each leg. To pull at the ankles. Before it shines softly out from each toe, Illuminating the earth's space below you. You rest upon a softly lit bed of earth. Perfectly shaped for your body. It's cool now. And unconditional support. Invite you to surrender your weight to it. Around you. The air holds your shape. As you arrive in this moment. Feel the temperature of the air. As it touches your skin. You are here now. In this body. In this space. And you are safe here. I'd like you to imagine. Yourself beneath a vast, Midnight sky. Surrounded by a night that imparts solace. The body is held in the comfort of the earth. And caress. By the movement. Of the air. It is protected by an aura of song. White light. You allow the night sky above you. To expand. . . The fingers of night reach far. And you move your consciousness. Into this new open space. Although the sky is open, You feel safe. To be free here. You inhale. . . As the night air alleviates your mind. You exhale. As you sink more deeply into the lustrous blanket of earth beneath you Night's restorative purple and blue hues mingle with silvery drops of moonlight. In small golden stars. You rest. The center of a nocturnal landscape. As its peace. Pools around you. The night is perfectly calm. You. Are perfectly calm. As you receive the loving kindness of night. You are worthy of this repose. Of gentleness. Soft waves. Of deep indigo. Reverberate. Through you. Ripley. Like the surface of a shadowed lake. Moved by the wind. Of a gentle zephyr. Nearby, A strong tree. Its bark marked by deep and rich furrows. Glow. With the silver light of the moon. As the sound of its rustling leaves. Settles your nervous system The lullaby weaves through your body. Traveling exactly to where it's needed. You rely last. Relax. Relax. As your thoughts drift away from one another. Like distant lanterns. Disappearing into fog This is good. Is good. Is natural. The body responds to this growing safety. As this landscape begins to slowly dissolve… and our meditation winds down. The dark velvet night around you whispers. Turn here. Whenever you need to rest. In sleep. Take a voluminous inhalation. As the last shards of night melt away around you. And exhale. To liberate any residual tension. You wiggle your fingers. Full of light. You slowly spread your toes. And as you softly blink your eyes several times. You arrive back in your natural landscape. Present with the safety that you cultivated. The silhouette of light surrounding your body remains. It is as a portal. To the energy of the midnight sky Let it glow throughout the rest of your day. Or nay.
