This is Rasa.
Welcome,
Beautiful soul.
Settle yourself into your bed and take a moment to find a position that feels truly comfortable.
Let your body land here just as it is,
Allowing the surface beneath you to receive your weight fully and without resistance.
Let your eyes close gently and your attention begin to move inward,
Toward the quiet rhythm of your inner world.
Feel the air as it enters your body and the soft release as it leaves.
There is a natural calmness to it,
An intuitive rhythm that continues on its own,
Carrying you deeper into ease.
Keep flowing and feel subtle changes to begin to unfold through your body.
The muscles of your face loosen,
Your jaw softens and your shoulders begin to drop,
Releasing the day from their hold.
Your arms rest more heavily,
Your hands unclenching,
Your fingers settling into stillness.
Allow your back to sink more fully into the surface beneath you,
Each point of contact becoming clearer,
More relaxed.
Feel your hips soften,
Your legs grow heavier and your feet now releasing downward.
All the weight of your body is now gently pouring into the space below you.
Feel your breath deepen slightly,
Not by effort,
But by permission.
Each exhale carries a quiet sense of settling,
Guiding you further into a state of calm that spreads naturally through your entire body.
Your body intuitively knows how to let go,
So allow it to guide you.
Follow the quiet rhythm it creates,
The gentle unwinding,
The gradual softening that moves at its own pace.
And as this continues,
Your awareness begins to expand.
Feel it becoming softer,
More open,
More receptive.
Begin to sense a calm presence forming within you,
One that is grounded,
One that comes from deeper layers of your being.
It is coming forward now.
Rest here for a few moments,
Held within this quiet awareness.
Allow the body to continue to soften,
The breath to flow and your entire being to settle more deeply.
Now see yourself standing at the edge of a pine forest.
Feel the air around you,
Warm and gentle,
Carrying the softness of a summer night as it rests lightly against your skin.
Sense a subtle breeze move through the space,
Brushing past you with a scent of pine.
Slightly earthy,
Slightly sweet,
Mixed with the faint freshness of the nearby sea.
Listen closely and you can hear the sea in the distance.
Hear the waves folding into the shore,
Then drawing back again,
Creating a quiet rhythm that blends into everything around you.
Just before entering the forest,
Take a pause.
Take in what stands in front of you.
Tall pine trees rise upward,
Their trunks are grounded,
Their tops stretching into the night sky,
Communicating with the universe.
Sense the space within the forest that is deep and contained,
Holding something within it.
Now become aware of the presence of the forest.
Feel it in front of you,
Meeting you,
Being aware of you.
Let that awareness be felt.
Let the spirit of the forest be your guardian tonight.
Feel your feet firmly planted on the ground.
You are about to enter this sanctuary and you ask to be invited in.
Hear a clear intention to form within you.
Gently either in your mind or softly within your body,
Say,
Invite me in.
Let the words land fully and clearly.
Stay here for a moment after asking.
Feel what begins to shift.
Feel the air soften,
The space in front of you opening.
You can now sense a response moving towards you.
Notice a quiet feeling of being received,
Settling around you,
Welcoming and warm.
Now allow your body to take a step forward.
See yourself cross into the forest.
Notice the change immediately.
The air feels closer,
More enveloping,
And the space around you becomes more connected.
Because now you are within something that is aware of you and here for you.
Walk gently forward,
Entering fully into the forest.
See yourself walk gently through the forest,
Feeling the ground beneath your feet,
Supporting each step.
The spirit of the forest surrounds you now,
Alive,
Grounded and quietly attentive to you.
Breathe in the scent of pine and feel the warm night air resting lightly against your skin.
While the distant sound of the sea rises and falls in a soothing rhythm around you.
Now lift your gaze upward and follow the height of the pine trees as they extend into the night sky until your eyes meet the stars above.
Take in their stillness,
Their quiet presence and the openness they create.
As you look at the stars,
Feel something within you respond.
There is a part of you that recognizes this.
A natural openness,
A quiet curiosity,
A sense of wonder that has always been within you.
Feel it in your body,
Light and soft.
Now bring your awareness to the tree trunks firmly rooted in the earth.
Follow them upward to their highest points.
Feel their full length.
Their structure forms a direct pathway between earth and sky.
Natural antennas delivering intentions and prayers from the physical into the divine.
Feel yourself standing within that same vertical flow.
With your eyes closed,
Feel this intention form within you and move outward.
Show me what I need to know today.
The trees receive it and carry it upward through their full height,
Rising naturally toward the stars.
Keep your body relaxed beneath the trees,
Beneath the stars.
You are surrounded and protected by the presence of the forest and the quiet rhythm of the sea.
Your intention ripples up the pine trees,
Delivering the message directly.
An inkling of intuition guides you to turn slightly right.
As you do,
Notice a water well there.
Move toward it slowly and come to stand beside it.
Look inside,
Notice that it is empty.
The space within it is still,
Quiet and waiting.
Now place your awareness into your body and feel your connection to the ground beneath you.
Feel the earth below your feet,
Solid,
Extending deep beneath the surface.
Let your weight settle downward into it,
Feeling that support rise up to meet you.
The well is connected to this same ground.
What stands before you is not separate from what holds you.
Bring your attention back to the space around you and feel the presence of the forest again,
Surrounding you,
Aware and responsive.
Let your intention form clearly within you now.
Show me what I need to know today.
Feel the intention settle.
Return your gaze to the well and watch,
From deep within the earth,
Water begins to rise,
Slowly,
Filling the space of the well.
See it continue to rise until the surface becomes still and complete.
Held perfectly within the stone.
Look into the water and see how it forms a mirror.
Within that mirror,
The stars appear,
The same stars you were looking at moments ago,
Now reflected clearly within the water below you.
Their light rests on the surface,
Reflective and wise.
Feel that same sense of wonder return as you look into the mirror.
Prepare to see what you are meant to see today.
Visualize bringing one hand to your heart.
And from here,
Say again clearly,
Show me what I need to know today.
Now,
Coming back here gently,
Remain still and floaty for a few moments longer,
Allowing whatever has been shown to settle within you now.
And when you are ready,
Begin to bring a small part of your awareness back to your body.
Feel the surface beneath you again,
The way it supports you,
Solid and unmoving.
Notice your breath,
Still slow,
Still calm,
Continuing in its own rhythm.
The connection does not close.
The presence of the forest remains with you.
You can still feel it,
Quiet,
Grounded and your own.
The pine trees continue to stand around you,
Their presence earthy and protective.
That same connection between earth and sky remains open and you remain within it.
Let that feeling stay with you as your body sinks more deeply into your bed.
The forest becomes a quiet guardian through the night,
Holding that connection for you without effort.
What has been shown and what continues to unfold can move gently through your dreams and return to you again in your waking life in ways that feel clear and natural.
You don't need to guide it or hold on to it.
It settles where it needs to.
Feel your body continue to soften.
Your breath remains slow and steady.
And you rest here,
Supported,
Connected and at ease.
Feel your body resting fully now,
Draped over on the surface beneath you.
Feel your muscles continue to soften,
Releasing deeper with each breath.
Your whole body settling into a calm,
Easy rest.
Let your awareness drift gently deeper into the space you are already in.
The forest remains with you.
You can still sense it.
The soft movement of the pine trees above.
Their tops shifting gently in the night breeze.
Hear the sea again in the distance.
The slow rhythm of the waves rises and falls,
Continuous and soothing,
Like a breath that carries you with it.
Let that sound hold you,
Rocking you softly back and forth,
Back and forth.
Feel the air around you,
Warm and calm,
Carrying the faint scent of pine.
It lingers lightly,
Familiar and grounding,
Wrapping around you as you rest.
Allow your body to follow this rhythm.
Let go a little more with each breath.
Feel yourself floating deeper into the surface beneath you,
As if you are being gently lowered,
Supported from all sides.
The stars above guide your dreams.
You are slowly drifting,
Carried by the movement of the sea,
Held within the quiet presence of the friendly forest.
Let your body grow heavier.
Your breath softer.
Your awareness quieter.
And as everything continues to settle,
Allow yourself to drift further and further into sleep.
Sweet dreams.
