Gradually withdraw your attention from where you are and take yourself inside your body.

Scan your body for any areas of tension.

Just focus on that spot if it is tense and see it dissolve and relax.

Relax your arms,

Your legs,

Main body,

Shoulders,

Neck,

Head.

I want you to close your eyes now.

Take yourself to that place behind your eyes,

To the dark space.

And on the screen of your mind there is a picture.

There is a picture of a red clay road.

You step into the screen and you are standing on the red clay road.

The road stretches before you and you start walking on it.

There is a slight incline and you keep walking.

It becomes a little bit steeper and you feel as if you are climbing.

And the road gets steeper.

And then walking is a little harder.

You start to feel very tired.

Your legs are heavy.

Your arms and shoulders are weighing you down.

At the peak of the hill there is a gate.

It's a farm gate.

And on the other side of the gate is a seat.

Wearily you move across,

Open the gate and thankfully collapse onto the seat.

Just take a moment to recover,

A few deep breaths.

You notice there is an orange suitcase next to the seat.

There is a label on it.

It reads,

Baggage removal case.

Always strip and place inside all negativity.

The case opens and you feel layers stripping away.

Past sorrow.

Anger.

Grievances.

Grief.

Regrets.

Hurts.

Arguments.

Hate.

Envy.

Pride.

Stress.

Judgment.

All the things you have been hanging onto.

All the things that have been weighing you down are being stripped away.

Each time you remove something,

Drop it into the case.

You feel lighter.

Freer.

And stand taller.

You feel a spring in your step.

So many things you've let go.

The lid of the case closes and as you watch,

It dissolves into a long,

Soft,

Silk scarf.

It is the most brilliant yellow.

You bend down to pick it up,

But a playful breeze catches it and flicks it into the air.

You try to catch it,

But it dances away,

Teasing you,

Leading you into a chase.

You are like a child,

Free from all care.

Each time you reach for it,

It alludes you.

Laughing.

Playing.

Until you are tumbling and rolling down a hill of luxuriant grass.

Finally coming to a stop,

Flat on your back,

Arms outstretched.

The yellow scarf,

Like a friend,

Is beside you.

Feel the grass on your back,

Your legs,

Scrunched between your toes,

Your hands,

Your fingers.

Breathe in its perfume.

Catch the breeze.

Watch the scarf lift and float up into the sky.

Higher and higher into the blue,

Until it is just a speck.

Then it's gone and you are in the blue.

Keep moving up into the blue.

Feel the space,

The freshness,

The blueness.

Higher and higher,

Deeper and deeper,

Darker and darker,

Cooler and cooler,

Until the blue becomes an indigo night sky that stretches to eternity before you.

Relax in the peace of it.

You hear your name whispered.

You sit up and look around.

You are not alone.

There are others here with you,

Sitting,

Waiting on the edge of time.

You hear your name called again.

A figure moves towards you.

They are strangely familiar.

A friend,

A relative,

A loved one.

They are holding a soft violet cape.

And you realize it's quite cool.

This is your guardian.

Your guardian wraps the cape around you and sits with you as stars appear in the sky.

One star is particularly bright.

As you watch it,

It gets brighter and brighter.

Your guardian stretches their hands to the light and captures it.

They turn to you and the light shines from their hand.

It's time.

It's time to take the first step.

The first step into your future of knowing.

Sit and relax into the indigo and the stars and enjoy the experience.

Just feel what there is to feel.

Just know what there is to know.

Enjoy.

It's time to leave now.

Your guardian takes your right hand and seals it with the light.

Then they take your left hand and seal it with the light.

Feel the light flow from the star through your crown into your body.

It fills you with a warm,

Relaxing,

Peaceful feeling.

There is a gentle sensation of spinning,

Dissolving back to the space behind your eyes.

It's time to return to this time and place.

But you come back free of all baggage.

Lighter.

Stronger.

Free.

I had a dream with my first child that I got to touch a star. it was a wonderful gift. can you imagine touching a stars light and it not hurting you but filling you with hope. to get there I had to climb very very pointy tall mountains. it was an arduous journey, but worth every step. I do not forget this dream. your meditation reminded me of this. I was brought to tears. this is a favorite now of mine. May we all have a guardian and be able to touch the stars. do not give up. keep hope alive.
