Guided imagery for the four sun moon archetypes.
Find a comfortable position for seated relaxation or lie down.
You can keep your eyes closed or open with a soft gaze.
Whatever feels right for you today.
Bring awareness to the breath.
Notice the rise and fall of the breath.
On the inhale,
The belly rises.
On the exhale,
The belly falls.
Inhale,
The belly rises.
Exhale,
The belly falls.
Inhale,
Mentally thinking day.
Exhale,
Mentally thinking night.
Do this for several breaths.
Inhale,
Mentally thinking day.
And exhaling,
Mentally thinking night.
Inhale,
Mentally thinking ha.
Exhale,
Mentally thinking ta.
Do this for several breaths.
Inhale,
Mentally thinking ha.
Exhale,
Mentally thinking ta.
Bring the awareness to the chittakash,
The mind space in front of the clothes.
And in this space,
See the dark night sky.
Experience the darkness.
Absorb the primal energy.
Connect to the emotions and feelings that arise as you find yourself in the emptiness of night.
Notice the stars filling the heavens.
Watch them shining and twinkling.
Breathe here for some time under the protection of the canopy of the night sky.
Take in the vastness of the universe.
Imagine the stars again and notice them fading.
Notice the sky changing from black to dark purple,
Dark purple to indigo,
Indigo to blue.
Look mentally to the east.
Become aware of a band of rosy pinks and sandy yellows at the horizon.
See the sky transforming from yellow to the orange of fresh mangoes or tangerines.
Experience the explosion of colors that mark the dawn.
Absorb the vibrance of the reds,
Oranges,
And yellows.
Take some breaths here in dawn's early light.
See the heavens now as they quickly fade into a gentle blue.
Notice the head of the sun aggressively emerging out of the warmth of them.
Daylight confidently fills the air.
The beams become bigger,
Brighter,
And bolder,
Illuminating the atmosphere.
Now the firmament is divided between yellow on the bottom and blue.
Rising and becoming more intense,
The sun has taken control of the sky.
Connect to the dynamism of the sun.
Feel activated by the solar light.
Take some breaths here being charged by the sun.
Notice as the sun travels westward.
See it lowering itself down into a pool of orange light,
Now disappearing into a cloud of grayness and blue.
Orange stripes mark its departure.
An indigo sky pushes down into a cloud of yellow and orange.
Everything is overtaken by blue blackness.
Bring awareness to a bright white ball in the distance.
The moon,
Fully formed,
Taking its place in the night sky,
Gently rising out of the darkness.
A compassionate moon,
Receptive and responsive,
Looking over us as a beacon of nourishment.
Experience the sweetness as the moonlight caresses you.
Take some slow,
Deep breaths here,
Connecting to the moon's meditative power.
Bring the awareness back to the Chittakash,
The mind space in front of the closed eyes,
And let go of this visualization practice.
Notice the breath.
Inhale,
Thinking Ta.
Exhaling,
Thinking Ha.
Do this for several breaths.
Inhale,
Thinking moon.
Exhale,
Thinking sun.
Do this for several breaths.
And when you're ready,
And there's no need to rush or hurry,
Gently blink the eyes open.
Namaste.
