Welcome.
Take a slow steady breath in through your nose and exhale gently through your mouth.
Again breathing in deeply filling your chest and exhaling letting your body begin to soften.
Allow your eyes to close or simply rest them in a gentle gaze.
Notice the ground beneath you holding you.
Notice the rise and fall of your breath.
Notice the way your body is already beginning to settle into stillness.
With each inhale imagine gathering any tension you've been carrying and with each exhale imagine releasing that tension into the space around you where it can dissolve.
Now with your body beginning to soften imagine you are arriving at a small quiet cafe at the very edge of the universe.
This is not a cafe made of walls or windows but of starlight and velvet night.
Here the tables are constellations,
The chairs are woven from moonlight and the air hums with a gentle golden energy.
You step inside and everything feels familiar.
You've been here before in a dream,
In a memory,
In your soul's imagination.
This is a place where time moves slowly and everything is calm.
At a table nearby you see a gathering waiting for you but they're not people they are stars.
Not burning blazing balls of fire but stars in gentler form,
Shimmering radiant and luminous.
Their light flickers softly like candle flames.
You sense kindness,
Compassion,
Wisdom and a deep patience emanating from each of them.
The stars rise slightly as if in greeting.
With a graceful gesture they invite you to sit among them.
You take your place feeling the chair of moonlight hold you with ease.
These stars don't rush,
They simply shine,
Their light weaving together in a soft glowing tapestry.
It bathes the space between you like sunlight through a window on a quiet afternoon.
You can't help but notice how safe you feel in their presence.
There's nothing to prove,
Nothing to do,
Just the gift of being here face-to-face with the stars.
And then one of them reaches out and pours you a cup of tea.
The teapot seems to be carved from a comet,
Smooth and cool and the tea glows faintly as it streams into your cup.
Another star offers their own cup,
Raising it in a silent toast of welcome.
You wrap your hands around your cup.
It's warm,
The steam rises curling upward in ribbons of light.
This is no ordinary tea,
It is brewed from starlight itself and it is meant just for you.
Bring the cup slowly to your lips and take a sip.
The tea tastes like comfort,
Like clarity,
Like something you once knew and have just remembered.
As you swallow,
The warmth spreads throughout your body.
It begins in your head,
The warmth drifting across your forehead,
Softening the muscles there,
Smoothing away any tension.
It travels around your eyes,
Melting strain and dissolving worry.
Your jaw loosens,
Your tongue relaxes.
And another sip,
The warmth fills your shoulders,
Untying knots you didn't even realize you carried.
The starlight tea trickles into your chest,
Bringing ease to your heart,
Making space for your breath to expand freely.
Sip by sip,
The glow moves into your arms,
Down into your hands and fingers.
They feel light,
Soft,
Unburdened.
Another sip,
The warmth drifts into your belly,
Soothing,
Comforting.
Any heaviness there melts away.
You feel supported,
Held from the inside.
The glow spreads into your hips,
Your thighs,
Your knees,
Into your calves,
Your ankles and your feet.
Every step you've ever taken is honored.
Every journey is acknowledged.
Now your whole body is filled with this gentle starlight.
You are glowing from the inside out,
Radiant as the beings around you.
And still,
The tea remains in your cup.
It never empties,
Offering you endless warmth.
With each sip,
The stars seem to whisper,
Though no words are spoken.
You are supported.
You are timeless.
You are more luminous than you know.
And so you rest here,
Sipping slowly,
Letting these truths infuse every part of you.
After a while,
The stars place their own cups down.
Together,
You sit in silence.
This silence is not empty.
It is full,
Full of presence,
Full of meaning,
Full of comfort.
Their light surrounds you like a gentle cocoon.
There's no need for words,
No need for action,
Only the deep rest that comes from being truly seen and truly met.
Let yourself simply be here,
Breathing,
Glowing,
Resting in the company of the stars.
In this stillness,
Notice how your body feels.
Notice the peace in your chest,
The softness in your face,
The quiet strength in your heart.
The stars gaze at you with timeless love,
As if to remind you that you too are made of starlight.
You are not separate.
You are not small.
You are part of the very fabric of the stars.
Allow yourself to remember this truth.
Let it settle deep within you.
In time,
You notice that your cup is empty,
But the warmth remains.
The glow is now inside you,
Woven into your very being.
The stars give you a soft bow,
A nod of recognition.
And slowly,
The cafe begins to fade.
The starlight tables,
The chairs,
The golden air,
All of it dissolves gently until you are simply resting once again here in your body.
Take a deep breath in and take a breath out.
Feel yourself anchored back in this present moment.
Notice the surface beneath you.
Notice the weight of your body.
Notice the subtle glow that still lingers,
Reminding you that you carry starlight within.
Whenever you wish,
You may return to this cafe.
The stars will always be there,
Waiting to share a cup of tea with you.
But for now,
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
Stretch softly,
If it feels right.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes,
Bringing with you calm,
Radiance,
And a quiet reminder of your own luminous nature.
