What I would like you to do is sit comfortably with your feet flat on the ground,
Hands on the top of your thighs.
Good.
That's right.
And just close your eyes.
Now take a deep breath.
Take a deep breath and hold it.
And then let it go.
Good.
Take another deep breath and hold it.
And this time before you let it go,
Really let go of all the tension in your shoulders,
In your face,
And your eyes.
And just breathe it out.
Good.
Now take another deep breath,
And in your own time,
And this time really let yourself relax.
Let your whole body go soft and relaxed.
Good.
You're doing great.
Now just allow your breathing to go back to normal.
And you can become aware of the chair under you as you're sitting there,
Breathing gently,
Supported by the chair.
And you're probably wondering whether you're going into a trance quickly or slowly or what it'll feel like if you're going into trance.
And that's good because that's the right thing to do.
And you don't have to think about anything.
You can just think to yourself about being in that chair there,
And you begin to wonder what it would be like to just sink into that chair,
To be really so relaxed and so comfortable,
And you feel yourself sinking down and down into that chair.
And with each breath out,
You can say to yourself quietly,
Deeper and deeper,
Deeper and deeper,
More and more relaxed,
And every gentle breath out just leaves you more and more relaxed.
That's right,
You can move if you want to,
To just make yourself comfortable as you're relaxing into trance.
Just allow that feeling of relaxation to go all the way through your body.
That heaviness is just telling you that you're going into trance now,
Exactly as it should be.
Good.
Now that you're in a deep trance,
You can allow your mind to drift off,
And imagine now that you're sitting in a comfortable chair by a window,
Looking out and outside the sun is setting,
And the whole world is settling down for the night.
And as the sun sets and slips below the horizon,
Everything around you is getting quiet and dark.
Outside,
Here and there,
Lights are being lit.
And in your chair,
Become aware of a darkness settling over you like a soft,
Gentle blanket,
Feeling more and more relaxed as the darkness deepens.
Feel its weight taking you down,
And as the darkness settles over you,
Your body relaxes deeper into the chair.
More and more comfortable now.
And as you're lying there in the dark,
Safe and secure,
Your mind is beginning to drift away,
And in the sky the first stars are coming out.
And as more and more stars appear,
You feel yourself sinking and drifting,
And the more stars there are,
The more you feel detached from your body.
And you can forget all about that body now.
That body feels different.
Your mind,
Your personality,
Is now gently detaching,
So you can be relaxed about the process,
And curious to know where it might lead.
And now you feel yourself drifting away from your body,
Up and out,
And you can enjoy the sensation of being weightless and floating easily.
And as you're relaxing in that chair,
Breathing slowly,
Feeling detached,
You can look back at yourself,
Relaxing there,
A figure gently breathing.
Now float outside,
Feel yourself floating amongst the buildings,
Slowly drifting upward now,
Above the trees,
And still you're slowly moving upwards,
Safe and secure,
Warm and comfortable,
Somehow supported as you drift upwards past the rooftops.
And now you can begin to see the whole area,
Streets,
Houses and roads all laid out in the dim darkness,
And higher still,
And you can see the glint of moonlight reflected from a river far below.
And soon you're among the clouds,
Soft white fleecy clouds,
Rolling around you like a warm soft air,
Wafting you upwards.
And then you're past the clouds,
Looking down on them,
And they're getting further and further away as you go even further upwards,
Rising on and on,
And soon the whole country is spread out before you,
Far below,
And you become aware of a gentle sound,
Like an angel's breath,
And you look up at the stars high above,
Glittering in the dark night,
Pure and clear.
And you find yourself drifting,
Floating among the stars,
All around you you can feel the vastness of space,
The majesty of the heavens,
And there you come into the presence of the great architect of the universe.
And you're shown all the vast black sky,
And the constellations like diamonds,
Scattered across the field of dreams,
And you take on a tour of the heavens,
To visit each of the planets,
To learn what each keeper has,
What is being learned in the depths of time,
What gifts of wisdom and insight the astral traveler can find.
And you learn that you,
Now,
Because you were in this state,
You're to be given an opportunity only offered to astral voyagers,
To choose what you want to take,
What you want to take back with you,
And you can gather up all these,
Like stars in a bag,
And take whatever you need.
So get ready to visit each house in the star signs,
And you'll find yourself moving,
Spinning,
Covering great distances,
In an instant.
As you begin to sense the crystal spheres of eternity,
And journey through the entire solar system.
And you come to a space ruled by the planet Mars,
And you find yourself in the house of Ares the ram,
And there,
You're shown your life,
As it has been,
And you are shown your life as it can be.
You see yourself ambitious,
Independent,
And there you're offered the strengths of the ram,
To be assertive,
Independent,
Energetic,
And you can take what you want,
As it's yours now.
And now you're drifting out to the planet Venus,
A place of love and beauty,
And there's the house of Taurus the bull.
And you hear beautiful music,
And the music carries you away,
And in that music,
You're offered all the gifts of Venus.
You can be generous,
Sensuous,
Affectionate,
And enjoy stable relationships from now on.
Drifting now towards the sun,
You come to the planet Mercury,
A place of logic and reason,
And the house of Gemini,
The twins.
And there,
The twins give you their gifts.
From now on,
You can choose to be sociable,
Funny,
Flexible,
And you can learn to learn,
Learn to teach,
To enjoy your intellect,
Be proud of your mind.
Now you're seeing the moon,
And in that cold light,
You see the crab in the sky,
And the crab uses its claws to pull apart those defenses that have been holding you back,
That keep you from truth.
And as those barriers fall,
You become open to all the powers of psychic and sensitive.
The crab offers you the gift of imagination,
Intuition,
And caring.
You move on into the brilliant light of the sun,
And there is a fiery lion,
The sign of Leo outlined in fire.
In the house of Leo,
You can collect the ability to be self-assured,
Energetic,
And ambition to succeed.
And then the messenger carries you away to the planet Mercury,
In the sign of Virgo.
In Virgo,
You feel your mind being explored,
Your values sorted,
And you're left with the gift of analysis,
Of seeing patterns and mysteries.
Next,
You find yourself visiting the planet Venus,
The place of marriage and love,
And there you're offered the gift of balance from Libra,
The scales,
Learning how to be sociable and diplomatic.
And then off to Pluto,
Far out in the cold reaches of space,
A place of death and rebirth,
Where the sign of Scorpio rules.
And in that place you can be reborn,
And learn the mysteries of life and beyond life.
Then mighty Jupiter appears,
The planet of adventure and travel,
A chance to get all the optimism and enthusiasm that Sagittarius has.
Saturn with its rings appears before you,
And in those rings you find the constellation of Capricorn.
You learn to be organized,
Patient,
And to have the endurance to make your life better,
To plan and prosper,
And rise through the ranks.
Out past Saturn is lovely Uranus,
The planet of freedom and change,
And there you touch Aquarius,
The water carrier.
And drinking that water gives you the gift of languages and curiosity and a love of change.
And on to icy Neptune,
God of the eternal sea and the realm of Pisces the fish,
Where you learn sensitivity to others and the power of imagination,
And lead to great things for you.
Then you feel everything slowing down.
There is a bag,
A container of some sort,
And even though it is filled with age-old wisdom,
And the power of a million suns,
And rare and wonderful talents so rare that you can only marvel at it.
And you find it clinging to you,
Wrapping around you,
And you become aware of a feeling of light,
Of some strange substance penetrating,
Crossing the barrier of your skin,
Filling your body with a sensation,
And all those ancient powers are coming alive now,
In you,
In your body,
And in your mind.
You're beginning to feel different,
Strong,
Filled,
Happy.
You're beginning to become aware,
As those talents are being lodged deep in your mind,
To be there whenever you need them,
Whenever you want them,
And a power,
A power of determination and purpose is slowly uncoiling,
And an ancient skill of wisdom is spreading,
Changing everything it touches.
And you have changed now,
You have changed forever,
Changed by the touch of those stars,
By being close to the planets.
And things just seem different now,
Easier and clearer.
And as you think of those things,
And what you learned on that journey,
Those stars begin to fade,
And as the earth turns on its mighty axis,
Outside the sun is coming up.
A new day,
A new dawn,
A new life.
It is starting for you.
And as you become aware of the light,
You're coming back to the present now.
Three,
Two,
Eyes opening now,
One,
Back to the present moment,
Wide awake now.
Good.
Namaste.
