Settle into a comfortable position,
Allowing your body to rest naturally.
Feel the support beneath you and let your shoulders soften.
Your hands rest easily.
Your breath moving at its own pace.
Begin by noticing the space of your mind just as it is right now.
There's no need to change anything,
Simply observe.
Imagine yourself beneath a wide open night sky.
The air is warm and still.
Above you,
Countless points of light shimmer quietly.
Each star represents a thought,
A feeling,
Or a memory.
Some glow brightly,
Drawing your attention.
Others remain faint in the background.
As thoughts arise,
Imagine placing them gently into the sky,
Letting them become stars.
You don't need to follow them or push them away.
You simply notice their presence,
Allowing them to shine from a distance.
Feel your breath move slowly in and out,
Steady and calm.
With each exhale,
There's a sense of space,
More room between you and your thoughts.
Some stars drift closer,
Some farther away.
Some flicker and fade on their own.
You remain grounded,
Resting beneath the sky,
Supported and still.
Notice how the stars don't demand anything from you.
They don't need to be understood or fixed.
They are simply part of the vastness above.
If you find yourself caught in a thought,
Gently return to the image of the sky,
To the quiet glow of the stars,
To the steady rhythm of your breath.
Your body continues to soften as you rest here,
Jaws relaxed,
Shoulders soft,
Hands open.
The sky remains wide and calm,
Holding everything without effort.
Allow yourself to linger in this spacious awareness for a few moments,
Breathing slowly,
Observing without judgment.
When you're ready,
Begin to bring your awareness back to your body.
Notice the surface beneath you,
The room around you,
The sounds nearby.
Start to wiggle fingers and toes.
Bring in a full body stretch if that feels good.
Carry this sense of spacious reflection with you knowing you can return to it any time you need clarity,
Calm,
Or perspective.
Taking one slow breath in and gently exhale.
Thank you for being here.
