Welcome to Michelle's Meditation Sanctuary.

I am Michelle,

Your guide and advocate for sleep.

If this is your first time tuning in,

I am so glad you are here.

And if you are returning,

It's an honor to continuously be part of this sacred time.

As you listen,

Let my voice be a soft current in the night sky,

The voice of a nurturing ally.

I welcome all of who you are,

Wherever you are right now.

This cosmic space is here for you,

A safe harbor free of judgment.

Your daily life may be filled with demands and earthly concerns,

But right now,

Your only purpose is to receive the luminous energy of the cosmos within the sanctuary of your mind.

You have found a quiet refuge,

A mental holiday.

My intention is to offer unwavering support and help you find serenity.

And no matter what you may have carried with you today,

You are safe here to release it.

One gentle breath at a time.

There is no rush,

There is only the simple trust that letting go will happen effortlessly.

It arrives with such delightful ease.

You may yearn to have the state of mind more often.

Even should you fall asleep,

Your subconscious will be guided by the peace to come.

Feel yourself enveloped in calm and quiet.

This is your time to return to yourself,

To treat your mind,

Body,

And spirit with deep cosmic reverence.

You are part of something infinite and beautiful.

A small piece in a universe that inspires awe and makes small all the things that once felt big.

And with this comes grace,

Understanding,

And contentment.

Your body and mind possess a profound ability to rest and restore themselves.

Treat this experience as a nightly quest to connect with this innate ability as you release what no longer serves you and rediscover a state of universal peace.

Instead of feeling the weight of a long day,

Invite a deep sense of weightlessness into your shoulders,

A lightness in your chest,

And a gentle expansion in your muscles.

Your mind is a powerful tool,

Always working to keep you safe and grounded.

But tonight,

Offer it a new direction,

A gentle path away from earthly analysis and into a peaceful,

Flowing rhythm with the cosmos.

Feel liberated by a sense of effortless renewal,

Allowing your body to soften and your spirit to quiet.

Sometimes,

The greatest healing begins in the silent pauses,

In the moments when we simply allow.

All the things that felt so rigid are resolved in a precious moment of serenity.

A moment you so rightly deserve and have earned at the end of a long day.

Take one final opportunity to adjust your body,

Ensuring you are as comfortable as possible right now.

Your comfort may only increase as you gently ease into the night,

Releasing yourself deeper than you thought possible.

As you drift on a wave of trust,

As you trust yourself and your choices,

You become unflappable.

Your nervous system becomes flexible.

Embrace all the gentleness of this moment,

A gentle sigh,

A gentle voice guiding you to healing places.

The gentle feel of your bedding against your skin,

The gentle release of the muscles in your face,

Your eyelids softly blocking out the world,

Your releasing jaw,

Your slightly parted lips.

The celestial rhythm of each breath comes to the forefront of your mind as you draw in a slow,

Deep breath.

As you inhale,

Imagine you are breathing in starlight,

A healing silvery light that expands in your chest,

Your ribs,

Your belly.

Now exhale,

Letting go of any shadows,

Any tension.

Make a sound if it enhances your relaxation.

Again,

Inhale deeply,

Drawing in the hopeful luminous starlight,

And exhale slowly,

Releasing all that no longer serves you.

With each breath,

Allow your body to relax further,

Your mind to become quieter.

As you continue to breathe as deep as feels good,

Not pushing or fighting anything,

Your attention focuses on a body scan.

Beginning at the top of your head,

See the luminous starlight cascading down your entire being.

With each part of your body,

You'll feel a deeper sense of peace as you invite this healing celestial light to flow through you,

Bringing with it a powerful sense of ease.

This starlight will find and illuminate any dark,

Unlit spaces in your body and mind,

Replacing tension with its hopeful,

Healing light.

10.

A gentle cosmic light is flowing in,

Drifting over the crown of your head,

And illuminating your forehead and your temples,

Leaving them completely smooth and at peace.

9.

The starlight drifts into your jaw,

Unwinding any tightness,

And then into your neck.

You feel your shoulders release,

Dropping away from your ears.

10.

All connective tissue becomes like luminous,

Shimmering threads,

Gently flowing on a cosmic breeze.

8.

The light now flows down your arms,

To your elbows,

Your wrists,

Your hands,

All the way to your fingertips.

It feels light and ethereal,

Carrying away any tension you might have held.

The starlight eases any inflammation and frayed nerve fibers,

Made supple by its touch,

As they gently weave themselves back into a place of balance and calm.

7.

The light floats into your chest and heart.

You feel your heart beat with a soft,

Steady,

Cosmic rhythm.

Your breathing becomes effortless.

6.

The light continues to flow,

Filling your stomach and abdomen with a soft,

Calming energy.

You feel grounded,

Yet so light,

Like a swirling nebula in the vastness of space.

5.

The light now flows into your hips,

Your pelvis,

Releasing all the day's sitting and standing,

All the day's movements.

4.

The light drifts down your thighs and knees,

Soothing every muscle and joint,

Carrying away any soreness or fatigue.

3.

The starlight reaches your calves and ankles.

The healing energy flows down,

Down,

Down,

Down.

2.

The light reaches your feet,

All the way to your toes.

You feel completely light,

As if floating in the soft vacuum of space,

Completely without weight.

3.

As everything heavy dissolves,

You are now fully embraced by the starlight.

This luminous,

Soothing energy allows your entire body and mind to feel weightless,

Free,

And at peace.

You are ready to ease into the night.

Imagine yourself walking on a tranquil path,

Not of Earth,

But of your moonlight.

3.

The ethereal path hovers above land and water,

And yet supports you in this gravity-free place.

You continue along with a delicate bounce,

The buoyancy feeling playful,

And perhaps even conjuring from you a childlike laugh.

You may not even recall the last time you took such joyous pleasure in a single,

Easy movement.

4.

This glimmering pathway leads to a secret celestial space.

Only you know the way,

And you are guided by your own intuition.

The universe is so still,

Its quietude awakens a deep wisdom in you.

That inspires trust.

5.

You feel so comfortable in your body as you navigate the cosmic night,

Glancing at the glittering tapestry of constellations overhead with hope.

6.

They urge you on with each twinkle,

As if in Morse code,

They reveal that you are on the right path.

The clean,

Cool space-air purifies you with each deep breath.

7.

As your feet hover above the river of starlight that flows along the path,

Nebulae dapple the cosmic canvas atop a bed of swirling galactic dust that scatters as you walk.

8.

You take slow,

Deliberate steps,

Balancing your hands on the luminous,

Shifting currents of energy.

9.

Once more,

You feel a sense of fun and playfulness.

10.

Curious about forms and sensations that soothe you.

The star's ancient presence offers a sense of protection and timeless wisdom.

11.

Their longevity a sense of grounding that resonates with your own resilience and inner strength.

12.

You feel a stirring curiosity as a soft,

Shimmering river of starlight appears,

Rolling in gentle waves over the cosmic floor.

Moonlight catches the silvery,

Translucent light,

Adding a shimmery obolescence.

13.

Starlight offers a gentle,

Loving energy,

Rising from the river.

You feel its cool light against your skin,

Forming a refreshing veil of renewal.

14.

There is nowhere else to be,

Nothing else to do.

Only this moment,

Mystical and soothing,

You continue along,

Hopping,

Prancing,

Gliding through space,

Sensing another shift into a deeply healing heart of the starlight.

15.

The stars here are softer and swirl around you in a light,

Dreamy haze.

As you stand in its center,

You begin to notice that your rigid thoughts those heavy,

Solid forms you brought with you begin to change.

They soften,

Their edges blurring.

16.

They begin to seem less important,

Less permanent.

With a sense of liberation,

Your mind begins to bloom.

17.

The starlight moves around you,

Showing you with its dreamy forms that all your rigid thoughts do not mean the universe is rigid.

18.

The universe,

Like the starlight,

Feels fluid and full of possibility.

Its ever-changing nature may often go unnoticed,

But now you sense,

On a cellular level,

How profound the universe can be.

19.

As you spend this time in the starlight,

Feel it working its healing magic.

20.

Imagine it cleansing and soothing every part of you,

From the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

It transforms sensation in regions of discomfort,

Freeing trapped energy and changing familiar patterns.

21.

On the deepest level,

Your body responds,

Dialing down signals of discomfort or tension as messages of peace flow through you.

Breathe in the starlight and feel it travel to every hidden corner of your being.

With your eyes closed,

You can see internal patterns of energy in your body flowing.

The healing power of the starlight moves to any physical discomfort,

Any tightness or soreness,

Any place of unease.

Visualize the light gently wrapping around that area,

Softening the tension,

Releasing the pressure and easing the discomfort.

Feel the starlight flowing into your heart,

Opening you to love and all the goodness in this life.

It washes away the burden of frustration,

The residue of anxiety,

And any threat of disappointment,

Leaving you with a sense of beauty and hope.

22.

Now,

As you float in this peaceful space,

I will offer a series of affirmations.

You may choose to hold on to the ones that resonate and let the rest dissolve into the cosmos.

And as you listen,

Should it feel right,

You may repeat them to yourself silently.

I am aligned with the peace of the cosmos.

My inner light shines with the brilliance of a thousand stars.

I release all burdens and embrace deep rest.

I am perfectly aligned with the flow of the universe.

My body is a vessel of starlight healing.

I am safe,

Supported,

And welcome peace.

The starlight appears so quickly,

So effortlessly.

And as you feel it,

You understand how powerfully things may shift in a positive way.

When you are aligned with the universe,

This is the gift of the starlight.

It shows you that you don't have to struggle,

You don't have to force things.

All you have to do is be here,

Allow it,

And it will wash over you now,

Releasing you to envision healing and peace in a fantastic surrender.

The starlight is teaching you to trust the cosmic process,

To believe in the quiet,

Powerful strength within you that knows how to heal.

Now,

Gently,

You are guided through the starlight to a small,

Cozy moon.

A celestial sanctuary and comforting place to settle.

A warm golden light glows from its surface and a wisp of cosmic dust curls peacefully from a small crater.

Imagine this moon the way you wish it would be.

It's a representation of your inner home,

The core of your being.

The place where you may turn to when you seek time to recover.

And find repose as you move toward it.

Once more,

You see your feet hovering above the cosmic dust,

More aware of the lightness of each step than the landings.

You focus on the gentle silences between each breath and each step that are already quieter than they are on Earth.

The starlight parts and you are filled with a sense of belonging as it reveals a clear pathway to your moon.

You step onto its surface and a sense of calm takes hold.

The starlight protectively hugs around this moon,

Ensuring nothing may interrupt.

This quiet,

Healing night of rest.

Its soothing essence stays within you even as its silken presence on your skin begins to feel like a warm,

Familiar glow.

The air envelops you with a scent of stardust and a faint electric hum of cosmic energy.

A gentle,

Constant light emanates from within the moon.

You look around and everything here is for your comfort.

Items throughout your life that have given you a sense of home are found in the celestial sanctuary.

They remind you that life can be beautiful,

That gentleness is abundant when you seek it.

You feel so very tired as a deep wave of sleepiness intensifies delightfully with each bounce.

You find your way to a soft crater layered with fluffy nebulae,

Freshly spun stardust,

And plush comets that invite you with their downy comfort.

You move toward this fantastical space,

Feeling a deep sense of relief as you let down your guard.

As you slip into this sleepy corner,

The comforting weight of the cosmic energy around you grounds you,

Taking you into the safe,

Private moment where you may go to heal and rest in peace.

No other voices,

No other thoughts,

No interruptions may dare to interfere with your healing and deep sense of peace.

This is your sanctuary of safety.

The healing starlight continues to swirl gently outside,

A dreamy softening presence just beyond your refuge,

Like a silken cocoon promising protection.

In this celestial refuge,

In this sacred sanctuary,

You connect with your essence.

You can simply be.

In this place of stillness,

You don't need to listen to anything except the gentle beating of your heart and the longing of your soul.

The light is like your essence,

Constant and warm.

The outside world,

With its changes and its judgments,

No longer matters.

Here,

You are free of all of that.

You connect with the you that is always here,

No matter all the transformations your body may go through.

In a day,

A week,

A year,

Or a lifetime.

You are the stillness at the center of all the noise.

You are the quiet strength beneath all the layers.

You are the timeless,

Enduring essence.

Let the sleepy rhythm of your breath and the gentle warmth of the starlight carry you now as you slip away from my voice.

Allow yourself to drift in the moonlight as you imagine your body sinking into the cosmic dust.

Dissolving into the soft starlight.

Becoming the witness,

The listener,

The one who observes from a place of calm.

The healing starlight continues to swirl,

And you are resting within it,

Undisturbed.

You know that thoughts and feelings will come and go,

But they do not have to define your night.

You have found a home for your essence.

A celestial place where you can return to,

To heal whenever you need.

This sanctuary is not a place you travel far to visit.

It is a part of you,

And it goes wherever you may go.

Sleep arrives,

Rolling in as gently as the starlight.

Soothing and offering a place and time to restore,

To heal on a deeper,

More profound level.

Before we part,

Let this final thought settle within you.

Like the starlight,

Healing is always available.

You are the stillness at the center.

As you slip away into a dreamy world,

As gracefully and effortlessly as a comet.

Finding peace,

Finding repose,

Finding serenity,

Finding sleep.

It's time to dream away.
