Hello,
Dear one.
I invite you to place your hands somewhere on your body,
If that feels right.
Connecting with your breath,
Here and now.
Feeling into the support beneath your body.
The sensation of being held.
As you begin the transition from waking to sleeping,
Let's soften the gaze from physical support beneath your body,
And widen out to recall the various ways you've been supported today by the Great Mother.
The beauty you've experienced.
The kindnesses received.
The connections,
Whether with other people,
Animals,
Plants,
Prayers.
The tiny delights.
The physical comforts and nourishment.
And feeling gratitude for these supports.
We thank you for these blessings,
Great Mother.
Thank you for speaking to me through my body today.
For nudging my attention.
For this opportunity to learn to listen in new ways.
Thank you for guiding us humans towards love and authenticity,
Which is increasingly evident.
Thank you for strengthening my curiosity and willingness to be wrong.
For widening my perspective.
For illuminating and composting my assumptions that aren't grounded in truth.
And when this crumbling of all that isn't true feels unfamiliar and shaky,
I thank you for these lungs offering new breath in each moment.
A grounding rhythm I can return to again and again.
Thank you for the deep roots I feel when I place my feet on your body and hold a tree.
Reminding me that,
Often,
What appears as death and endings is the dark mystery that precedes the creation of new life,
Of flourishing beginnings.
Thank you for co-creating with us.
For showing the way to celebrate and grieve and love in community.
To play and create.
To honor your sacredness.
To grow nourishing food.
To live in balance.
With heart.
With your great earth.
With all creation.
Thank you for blessing all the beings on your sacred body as you do.
And as I sleep,
Please strengthen my spirits and allow my body to receive and replenish in nourishing rest.
Continue to pull me towards my soul's full expression,
Great Mother.
In dreaming,
May I experience reconnection with my soul.
With my authentic self.
With my soul.
With the stars from which I came,
Of which I am.
A reflection of the entire universe,
Somehow expressed within my divine body.
May I experience embodied knowing of divine love.
What it feels like to be fully,
Freely myself.
To express exactly what this soul needs to express through this body,
Of your body.
May I continue to gain trust in the unfolding,
In your divine right timing.
Knowing that as I sleep,
There are unseen forces inside and around me,
Clearing the way.
Aligning my human expression with the truth of spirit.
With the life of creation.
With the beauty that is the animate everything.
With gratitude and reverence,
I hand over to you my worldly concerns and ask for your help.
I ask for the help of my healed and well ancestors.
And I turn these concerns over to you.
Please weave your magic in your all-encompassing web of life.
And create a more wonderful resolution than I could think of in my limited mind knowing.
Please continue teaching me that it is okay to ask for help.
To hand over my smallest worries,
Simple and real.
To allow the mystery and unfolding,
And then thank you.
May I receive guidance from the kind healed ancestors,
From the land,
From your great web.
Becoming a clearer vessel for truth and love as I rest.
Such that I can more clearly hear their whispers.
Help me remember and relax into my wholeness,
My perfection,
My divinity,
My connection with all life.
That there is nothing to do or make happen.
That I'm supported and held.
Simply to flow with my soul,
Allowing the most authentic expression of me by listening to my body.
May I soften into where I am now,
Exactly as I am now.
Sensing this deep well of eternal love as I drift into sleep.
Blessed be.
