Shooting for the Stars Meditation

(Ideal for children)



As you enter your garden, you can feel the freshness of the night air
caressing your cheeks, ruffling your hair, surrounding your body. The
flowers are bending their bodies in the slight breeze as though to say
something is going to happen.

There is an air of excitement in your garden, an air that says you are
going to travel far, far away, perhaps even out of this world. Would you
like that? Some people say they are going to shoot for the stars and
perhaps you could do the same. Have you thought about going to the
stars? I think that would be fun.

Just stand in the clearing in the Centre of your garden, near the
Grandfather Tree, and turn your face upwards towards the many stars that
are in the sky overhead. They are all sending a lovely light down to
where you are in your garden. Look at all the stars and you will find
that one will stand out from the rest with its beautiful light. This is
the one what you will go on.

Keep looking towards the star you have chosen and you will see a stream
of brilliant white light coming towards you. This white light is like a
link of energy, which will transport you forever upwards. You can feel
your body lifting off the grass and being taken high above the earth
moving towards the heavens. It is lovely to feel free and to be
transported by this pillar of light. The air is fresh and cool around
you and the many stars in the universe sparkle in the black velvet sky
and send off many twinkling lights which can be seen on the earth.

This beam of light is taking you faster and higher as you shoot past
many smaller stars. And there you are, standing on the star you have
chosen. This star's light streams towards the earth.

Look at the star earth beneath your feet and you will find it very
different that what you normally stand on. It is full of small sparkles,
which light the path you are on and show the way. There is a waterfall
nearby and, if you stand underneath it, you will find that instead of
water coming around body, you are being bathed in special starlight so
that you now sparkle and gleam with this lovely starlight.

You may find star people living here. I wonder what they will look like?
I imagine they will have wonderful silver clothes and flowing hair. They
may speak a different language but you will be able to understand them.


Why don't you go looking for them? I think they would love to know
someone has travelled such a long way to see them...
