Welcome,
Friend.
I light the candle.
Our journey begins.
A moonlit sanctuary by the sea.
We are in no hurry.
You can take your time.
You can puff up your pillows or take a drink.
Creating first your sanctuary where you will rest.
Thy guide us with word,
Sound and science.
Even when all is quiet.
We are your companions.
As you allow your body to be supported.
Letting the breath,
The body settle and relax into softness.
You arrive at a small cottage nestled in a quiet cove.
The door opens easily,
Inviting you inside.
The hearth is already flickering,
Glowing with warmth that wraps around you.
Outside,
You can see from the window,
The tide murmurs gently against the shore.
Silver ripples dance through the wind.
The gentle rhythm of the waves match your breath.
You smell the salt,
The sand,
The smoke of the fire.
You are safe,
You belong to this night.
The moon watches over you.
The moonlight spills through the open window,
Across the floor.
A gentle breeze.
You are nourished by the presence,
The sound,
The peace of the water.
You hear the mermaid singing.
Floating lanterns.
Songs and words shared.
You are seen and you are welcomed as a friend.
Present,
Peaceful and at rest within the mermaid's cottage.
All is gentle.
All is safe.
Your mind drifts like water,
Your heart floats with warmth.
Green and soft moonlight.
The sea holds you.
You are embraced by the night.
The door of the mermaid's cottage is open.
Moonlight recedes and the dawn light shines.
The sea holds you.
You need awaken only when you are ready.
