Hello this is sarah evans and in this recording i invite you to go on my favorite type of astral travel,
A magic carpet ride.
In this experience i take you through magic carpet traveling up up and away with the birds and we travel to the location of your choosing where you get to spend some quality time and take a memento and then we carry on on the magic carpet up up up and away past the earth's atmosphere,
Past the stars and the planets and through our universe and galaxy on a truly cosmic and transformative experience know that astral travel is perfectly safe and this is a really fun way to explore so get as comfortable as you can in a lying down position i recommend you put on an eye pillow or eye mask,
Noise cancelling headphones and ensure that you will not be disturbed and when you get settled let's begin and as we lie here,
Sensing all the points of contact with the ground noticing the back of the head neck,
Shoulder blades back of the arms,
Back of the hands all resting and getting heavier and heavier and more and more relaxed noticing your back your back of your pelvis resting against the ground the back of your legs and your heels taking a deep breath in and with the exhale just let yourself sink deeper and deeper into stillness and relaxation every exhale you're feeling more and more relaxed every exhale body's feeling heavier and heavier deeper and deeper into relaxation,
Nothing to do here but rest and hopefully stay awake but it's cool if you don't taking a moment to reflect on the practice today was there a bird pose that you enjoyed most?
Connecting to the emotion of that memory just for a second and in this bird themed practice we're going to experience the power of light or astral travel as some people refer to it as just feeling ever so relaxed imagine you're lying in a field there's grass around you,
Butterflies flying in the air and lots of birds doing their tweet tweet tweet around feel the sun shining down on your body smell the grass and the beautiful summer flowers looking up and imagine the clouds gently moving overhead,
A beautiful day and as you lie here you notice your yoga mat has become a magic carpet it's like,
Well it can be whatever you like but let's imagine you've got a beautiful carpet underneath you and it feels so warm and cozy and supportive and down by your feet and up above your head in each corner there are little tassels on it so the carpet it's going to take you wherever you'd like to go you don't need to worry you feel the carpet coming to life beneath you,
It feels lovely and warm and electric and it gently wraps the four corners in to kind of give you a little hug and support and then gradually with the next inhale it begins to rise off the ground ever so gently,
Ever so slowly it's coming one inch off the ground,
It's hovering feeling light as a feather and it comes a little bit higher,
Two inches,
Three inches off the ground and you can tell it how high you feel comfortable with and it gently rides to wherever height feels perfect for you,
Just feel yourself lifting gently up and up floating towards the clouds,
Towards the birds and it feels at a perfect height,
It begins to move and you're floating over that beautiful field of grass and wildflowers imagine looking over the site,
The beautiful fiesta passing over trees,
Birds nest in them you can look to your sides and see butterflies flying with you maybe a parakeet has joined the flight you feel the wind gently in your hair as you move gently with control it feels perfectly safe and very exhilarating and now you can tell your magic carpet where you want to go it's whatever comes to mind,
Maybe it's a place you've been before in love maybe it's a place you've always dreamed of going you tell your magic carpet wherever it is and then it starts to rush going faster and faster but completely safe and comfy faster and faster until out of the clouds you see the location you're arriving at and just see yourself coming in to land where you have requested taking in what it looks like let your magic carpet gently cruise closer and closer to the ground of where you wanted to go and you enjoy what this place smells like,
What it sounds like what colors are there there engaging with all of your senses and your magic carpet gently comes down a gentle pop to the ground where you want to go you can reach out your hands and touch the ground of where you are feel what it feels like and let you have moments to really be in this place where you want to go as you experience this place,
Whatever it is just notice your emotions connecting to the vibration that you're operating on as you are in this location maybe you want to take a memento from this place,
A flower,
Fruit or whatever take a memento and then bring it back to your magic carpet and you lie back down you say goodbye to the location you visited but you know you can always return here anytime you wish and you feel the carpet again to wrap its corners around you in a lovely supportive hug and when it's holding you snugly again it begins to gently lift one inches,
Two inches,
Three inches up lifting up,
Up,
Up,
You're looking to your side you see your chosen destination gently fade away as you rise up into the wispy clouds,
Completely safe and supported you're going through these clouds,
Up and up and up as lifting up past the clouds you see the sun and you're going up,
Up,
Up through the earth's atmosphere and you're floating up in space you're looking at the twinkling stars and it's like so beautiful these golden shimmering stars,
There are millions,
They're glistening like glitter you're floating,
Floating past the moon admiring the moon floating past venus past jupiter,
This big ring,
It's so pretty,
The colors are amazing past saturn past neptune past pluto,
And up,
Up,
Away,
Further,
Further,
Out just going out,
Out,
Out,
Into the great beyond,
To infinity,
Into the universe and all that is,
You're just feeling just how expansive it was as you're floating out of our universe,
Out of our solar system feel freedom,
Feeling that freedom that power,
The ability to go anywhere and do anything the power of your mind is infinite,
It is your gift and then you feel like okay,
Time to tell the magic carpet to return back and it's floating,
Whoosh,
Through space,
Past the stars the stars are flying past you,
Going pretty fast,
But it's safe and you whiz into the universe,
Passing the planet so you come towards our beautiful blue and green home,
Earth this mire earth as you ease in through the atmosphere,
Through the clouds and coming back to the continent,
The country the city or town the street where you are and the magic carpet floats down into your room and gently you've landed feeling the contact of the earth beneath you feeling the temperature of the air on your skin noticing any sounds in your room noticing the smells that you can smell around take a deep breath and just release as you ground down back into our reality and gently wiggling your fingers,
Wiggling your toes and to come into a little bit more movement,
Take a deep stretch and when you're ready,
Take a deep breath in,
Sigh it out,
Fill it off the light in me sees and honours the light in you namaste
