As a stingray - big, beautiful, gentle soft blue and gray, softens and settles itself in the warm sand bed of the nurturing ocean. Allow yourself to settle. Settle into your bedding. Once there, just gently bring your focus to your eyelids. And imagine they are slowly but surely getting heavier. Like a warm weighted blanket is covering your eyes. Breathe. Allow yourself to let them get heavier and rest gently over your eyes. And let your mind drift from the day and come with me to my favourite place as a saltwater woman of the Torres Strait Islands. Breathe. In our culture, we have a star warrior - called Tagai. And they use the Milky Way as their canoe. With their fishing spear, the Southern Cross, in their left hand, they travel across the night sky with their crew of 12 zugubals. These zugubals were beings that took on human form when they went to Earth, but are now a part of the Orion and the Pleiades constellations. When my people look to the night sky, they look for Tagai. Because wherever they all rest to fish, Tagai will tell them whether to plant or harvest in our gardens, hunt for food, or when Tagai's spear dips into the ocean, we know the monsoon season, Kuki, is about to arrive. Our connection is not only to the earth and sea, but it is very much to the sky as well. And now you're a part of that ecosystem. Breathe. Allow all the weight of the day just to sink through your body like grains of sand. Slipping through the myriads of holes in a strong sandbag. Let the sand fall onto the always loving, always caring, nurturing earth. Let it all drip through. Don't hold onto it. Just allow yourself to let it all go. Breathe. Soften. Come. I want to take you to the place where I let go and replenish. Let's walk together. My hand is here if you want to hold it. Don't worry, I got you. Take a deep breath, and let the scent of the sweet and salty island breeze relax you. Feel the breeze softly caress your face as you step with me into the soft white sand. Let the sand gently hug and massage away any lingering worries. Come. Let's sit down and just watch that sunset beyond the beautiful blue patchwork of the calming ocean before us. Let the gentle rock of the ocean on the shore calm all your senses. Lovely. The radiant red of the lim - the sun is hypnotising - so strong yet soft and calming all at the same time. As it dips lower into the horizon, notice how the beautiful last rays of the now deep, deep orange sun, strike through the slowly changing blue, pink, and purple sky. You can hear the soft sounds of birds as they play nearby in a tree. And slowly, those rays displaying slithers of warm green light. As if reaching out to kisai - the ever stunning bright full moon - calling her to her sky. Here she comes, dragging her ever favorite infinite navy blue blanket. As she wraps herself snugly and slowly with her prized possession, You lie back onto the soft, warm sand. Feel it lift you gently, and allow gravity to take any other lingering thoughts. Let it slip right off your body and into the nurturing earth. Just let it go. How lovely are the scattered stars across the never ending navy blue blanket. Take in that blanket. Take in that sky. Those beautiful, floating lights forming patterns across the infinite navy blue are starting to become more clearer now. Some stars are more prominent than others. Some are just twinkling. Some are bright. And some, your eyes can barely see. But that's okay. You take in more of the patterns and slowly find yourself looking for the Milky Way. There it is. What a proper lovely side ay. Can you see Tagai's fishing spear - the Southern Cross? Now, let's watch Tagai and their crew move slowly across the sky together. Let's watch them paddle past the archer, past the Big Dipper, and onward to Orion. As Tagai drops some of the crew off for the night, we notice that the stars are starting to slowly fall out of the sky. Very slowly, the shining, glowing beauties fall towards us, leaving a long sparkling trail of stardust behind them. This part is my favorite part. Lie very still. Calm your breath, and let your body melt further into the soft, white, gentle sand. These stars are about to sprinkle us with stardust. Breathe. Let it cover you all over. The small, gentle sensations of sleepy magic, melting you further into sleep. Let the stardust take you. Let the stargust take you. Let the stardust take you. Breathe. Eso. Thank you, for coming along to my favorite place with me. Go on then. Drift into your peaceful slumber. Rest. Sleep. Dream.
