Hello,
My name is Viola,
And I have written this meditative practice that I call Starfish,
Especially for all of you.
And if you enjoy this audio,
I have other meditative guided audios in my library.
One is about a beautiful butterfly.
Find your sacred space,
One that provides comfort and is quiet.
And as your body is settling in,
Take in a few belly breaths,
Inhaling through your nose,
Holding at the top,
And then exhaling the air slowly through your mouth.
And repeat this breathing for just a few times.
If you haven't closed your eyes,
Now would be the time.
Or you may just lower your gaze.
As your body begins to relax,
Become aware of the sound of the waves rolling in towards the shore,
And then receding back into the ocean.
The rhythm,
Like the breath,
In and out.
Bring your attention to the mind's eye,
Located in the middle of your forehead,
Right between your eyebrows.
And in your mind's eye,
See yourself walking down towards the ocean and standing in the shallow water.
The sun is bright and shining down on your face,
And you can feel the waves washing over your feet and the sand reaching between your toes.
As the waves meet the shore this time,
You are welcomed by a golden starfish,
Its five arms resting in the depths of the water.
The star of the ocean is a symbol of grace,
Of rebirth.
And you notice how it brings ease as you watch it float up and down,
Floating with the movement of the water.
The starfish is a gentle reminder of your own strength,
Your ability to face what life brings,
Even when the water is rough.
Listen as the starfish whispers to you,
I am the star of the sea.
I have journeyed far through the darkness and troubled waters,
Traveling to every part of the world's corners.
I am a symbol,
I am a flower of your intuitive powers.
I am the star of the sea,
A mirror of what once was,
To wonders of what can be,
This light I share to nurture thee.
As the waves flow,
You notice that the starfish stays with you.
It doesn't matter of the oceans movements.
This beautiful creature has shown up for you and to guide and remind you that you too can be steady and grounded with all of life's ups and downs.
As you watch the starfish,
You notice that when the next wave comes rolling on the shore and then retreats back,
The starfish has moved with it back to the depths of the sea.
But what is so lovely is it will return whenever you need it.
When you are ready,
Bring your attention back to your breath and then bring your attention to the sea that has been holding you.
And when you're ready,
Return to your day carrying this wisdom and guidance that the star of the ocean brings to you.
