Wordle: Astral Journey


First, sit back and rest a while,
Forget your worries, just be, and smile
Allow old memories to come and go
Breathe deeply, nice and slow

Next, see yourself as an empty shell
With mind’s eye’s sight – but do not dwell
Gently stretch and still breathing deep
Bring yourself to the edge of sleep

Now, imagine floating on a bed of feathers
See all realities merge together
Your daily life left far behind
Explore existence from within your mind

Then, see yourself as a mere sightseer
No nerves to rattle or jangle here
You can’t get lost, you’re in control
You’re just where you are, in no black hole

Soar around this world of yours
There are no barriers: you can pass through walls
Fly free, just look, observe and learn
And then stretch and blink for your return

    I just listened to a podcast on the neurological benefits of meditation and was thinking that it’s something I really should try……and here is this wonderful guided meditation of yours…..how’s that for synchronicity? Thanks, Tom 😉

        Yeah, I’m afraid the message is to quit with the procrastination and get on with it already 😛 But, yes…..I ADORE synchronicities as well….they are such a joyful and amusing delight in life!

    Me of all people has never truly done meditation. I’ve wanted to but never indulged myself and kept putting it off. Time to get into the swing of things or out of the swing of things maybe 🙂 Thanks TL…VK

      I’ve tried it a couple of times, VK, it is very relaxing… although I’d imagine it being more so if done properly!

    Did you know that if you do this before you write (regularly), it becomes an automatic message to your subconscious that you are ready to create? Just three deep breaths and you’re in,

      I’m going to have to start to do this regularly, Elizabeth… anything to ward off Blogger’s Block!

        The deep breathing really works. I don’t know that I believe in Blocks to writing or any creative endeavor, but that’s a whole nother discussion.

    It was like the verbal accompaniment to a favorite radio program I used to listen to, Musical Starstreams. Just perfect.
