Close your eyes and begin by noticing your breath. The cool air of each inhale, the warmth of each exhale. Try to lengthen your next inhale, then slow your exhale, letting the warmth linger before breathing in again.

Let yourself drift on this bed of breaths as it carries you away from the world in this moment. Fade into the hush of the night sky.

Imagine yourself weightless, cradled by a gentle breeze that carries you higher with each warm exhale. The stars shimmer around you like lanterns, each one a silent promise of calm.

Feel the cool air caress your skin, the subtle scent of night‑time pine drifting upward, and let every breath sync with the slow, rhythmic pulse of the universe. As you float, release the tension that clings to your shoulders, letting it dissolve into this infinite expanse.

Visualize your thoughts as fleeting clouds, passing harmlessly across the moon’s silver glow. With each inhalation, draw in the serene luminescence; with each exhalation, let any lingering worry melt away, scattering like stardust.

In this suspended serenity, you are both observer and participant—an integral thread woven into the night’s tranquil fabric.

Stay here as long as you need, savoring the profound stillness.

When you’re ready, carry this celestial calm back to the waking world, allowing it to linger within you throughout the day.
