We Are Stardust Guided Meditation
This guided meditation is part of a weekly Living Light Meditation gathering in the Chaos & Light Community. This meditation takes you through a brief grounding technique called earth breathing. Then invites you to travel back to the original spark of creation as you connect with the light and intelligence at the beginning of the universe. You are then guided to embrace the expansiveness of the cosmos.

Meditation Script
(copyright 2021 Angela Levesque)
So in a seated position, I want you to begin breathing deeply into your belly. Letting the belly expand and become soft on the in-breath. And letting it gently fall back toward the spine on the out-breath.
Continue this for a few moments until you bring your presence fully into your body.
EARTH BREATHING TECHNIQUE
(do not read this title aloud, can be used separately)
Now I want you to begin just focusing on the out-breath alone. Breathe in naturally at your own rhythm and pace and only focus on the exhalation. On the exhalation, I want you to see if you can move your breath down through the body and out the soles of the feet.
Breathe in and on the out-breath, move the breath down the body and into the earth. Do this for a few moments.
Pause
Continue to focus on the out-breath but now I want you to think of that breath as energy and as you move the breath through the body, on the exhalation, let that breath and energy sweep anything that is ready to be released, let it move down the body and out the soles of the feet.
Letting the earth receive anything that is no longer needed or serving your mind, body or soul. Knowing that earth holds the frequencies to neutralize anything you release to her.
Pause
Okay, now we are going to continue to have awareness of the out-breath, but we are also going to pay attention to our in-breath as well.
As we inhale now we are going to draw the earth’s energy up into the body, bringing with it any light, frequencies and intelligence that the body requires for harmony and balance.
And on the out-breath letting the breath move back out and into the earth.
Drawing the earth’s energy up and into the body on the in-breath and moving the breath and energy back into the earth on the out-breath.
Continue this to a point of equilibrium. That is until the energy you are moving feels in balance between what is coming in and what is going out.
And when this feels complete, having a deep connection with the earth beneath you, I want you to contemplate the idea that you are intimately related to not only the earth but the entire cosmos.
Imagine that you are lying comfortably on a blanket in a field on a warm summer night. You are far away from the lights of the city. It is a beautiful clear sky. As you gaze toward the stars, it is lit up by a million soft twinkling lights.
You can feel a slight breeze on your face, the relaxing sounds of crickets in the background. You feel safe and loved. The night holds a quiet magic. You are filled with a sense of awe and expansion as you breathe it all in.
As you gaze at the stars, you are reminded that in order for you to witness their brilliance they were awakened millions of years ago. And yet they twinkle tonight and share this moment with you.
Breathe in light….breathe in darkness. As the night sky reaches out to you.
We are going to take a trip back in time to the deep history of our universe. As you stay still, time travels all around you. You are taken back to a time, to the moment of the Universe’s birth.
You see a brilliant flash of light that fills your entire being. It is powerful, yet gentle. Immense and yet familiar. You understand that it is the spark of creation that you are witnessing. The very birth of all things in this universe.
Breathe in this beautiful light as it connects you to the very nature of your being. To every cell….. to every molecule….. to every atom in your being. Let this spark of creation rejuvenate, activate, and speak to every part of all that you are.
As you hold that spark of creation in your heart, mind and body, witness the expansion of the cosmos from this moment of light.
See its whirl of magnetizing forces as it brings form out of the formless. Witness the beautiful array of colors – deep and penetrating. As it draws together everything that is needed for life in this universe. Calling forth the color, energy and frequencies required for the magic of creation.
Holding that spark of creation in your heart with a deep knowing that everything that birthed those stars, are the very things that birthed you.
Pause
Return now to the blanket…looking over the whole sky breathing in the beauty of both the darkness and the light. Feel a sense of intimacy that exists between you and the stars.
As you bask in the magic of this moment, let go of the boundaries of your identity, the boundaries of your body, the limitations of your mind. Allow yourself to expand and reach out in the wonder of this moment.
As you sit here on the surface of the Earth, you realized that outward and inward are the same. Space is in every direction, out there, and inside of us.
Sit for a few minutes in the expanded state. Breathing with the universe – her intelligence, her darkness, her lightness – as she holds both the form and formless within her.
Long pause
Take a moment to call yourself back into your heart center. Drawing your expanded self back into the body. Taking a few deep breaths.
Pause
Feeling your body supported by the chair, floor or bed beneath you. Breathing deeply. Following the moment of breath as it moves in and out of the body. Bringing your full attention and awareness into the room around you. Shrugging the shoulders softly, wiggling the fingers and toes. And when you are ready, opening your eyes – aware and alert.
Take a few moments to just sit there until you feel ready to move on with your day.

Love Meditation Script

Today we are going to move past personal love. The love that is to, love from, love with, and move into universal love. Love that has no conditions, no pre-text, no explanation.
So in a seated position, I want you to begin breathing deeply into your belly. Letting the belly expand and become soft on the in-breath. And letting it gently fall back toward the spine on the out-breath.
Continue this for a few moments until you bring your presence fully into your body.

(End of Earth Breathing Technique)
Now from this perfectly balanced state, we are going to release that and move our focus into the heart. All we are going to do for the next few moments is hold our focus in the heart chakra in the center of the chest.
Letting the area soften and expand with the breath.
As as you continue to keep your attention and awareness in your heart center, I want you to begin breathing in and out of your heart. You may notice as you do this that the etheric heart begins to expand, bringing the awareness of the heart outside of the physical body.
Focus on the expansion of the energetic heart. The heart is a conduit for intelligence. It is more than a feeling, or frequency it is an intelligence that is our natural state of being.
Continue to breathe in and out of the heart.
Pause
Now as you continue to breathe in and out of the heart, I want you to say the word Love to yourself on the in-breath. Connect to the word as you breathe it in. And on the out-breath, I want you to surrender to it. Let it passively fill all layers of the physical and energetic body.
Now, this isn’t the love with conditions or story, it is Universal Love. It is the love that has been explored by sages and wisdom keepers throughout time. This love is our natural state of being.
So on the in-breath, letting the word Love fill you up and expand your being as you breathe it in. And on the out-breath, letting yourself release and surrender into the sensation and be bathed in its intelligence.
Let’s just continue this for a few minutes.
When and if it feels natural to you to let go of this, or when you feel like you’ve received what you needed from the practice, just sit for the remaining time following the breath.
Long Pause
When you feel you have received what you needed release the visualization.
Just take a moment to hold gratitude in your heart space. Sending gratitude to anyone in your life that arises with this intention.
Pause
And when you are ready, take a few deep breaths connecting you to your body and the room around you.
Feeling the body as it makes contact with the floor or chair beneath you.
Take a minute to wiggle your fingers and toes. Bringing your full awareness and attention to the room you are in.
Now opening your eyes, aware and alert.
This meditation has come to a close.

Flow With Change Guided Meditation

Flowing with Change Meditation 3 – 2020_04_20 17.57
This guided meditation is to help people to deal with nervous or unsettled energy. It begins with using the breath to move the energy out of the body. Followed by imagery that helps the listener connect with the natural world as they sit by a babbling brook. The listener is then instructed to become the water and learn to flow with change. This is also a great meditation for those that want to work with the element of water. It is best listened to while sitting and with the use of headphones.
Flowing with Change (script)
Copyright Angela Levesque 2019 – Feel free to use for personal use.
Find a comfortable place to sit with your bare feet flat on the floor and your back supported. Close your eyes and begin to follow your breath. Drawing the breath deep down into the belly. Exhaling slowly and completely.
Now bring your attention and awareness to the top of your head. Breathe in slowly as you move your awareness down your face and into your shoulders. Letting the muscles of your face release and relax. Pausing for a moment at the shoulders and the neck. Noticing the subtle movement of your shoulders at they rise and fall with the breath.
On the next inhalation move your awareness down into your chest. Let your breath fill the rib cage and on the out-breath, move into a deeper space of rest and calm. Now move your breath and awareness into your lower abdomen and hips. As you slowly breathe in, let the area fill and expand with the breath and release slowly and completely on the exhalation.
Now allowing your awareness and your breath to flow down into the legs, letting the thighs soften as the breath moves through them. Now let your awareness and breath continue to flow over the knees and into the lower legs. Again noticing that with each breath you move into a deeper space of rest and calm.
And finally now allowing your breath and awareness to flow all the way down the body and into the soles of the feet and out into the earth beneath you. I’d like you to do a scan of your body – slowly moving your awareness from the top of your head down to the soles of your feet.
Is there anywhere you are holding onto extra energy? This energy might take the form of restlessness or the feeling of wanting to move or fidget. It’s the same energy that has you checking your phone or feeling ungrounded. Take a moment to acknowledge that feeling, and just witness it. Do not try to change it or satisfy it, just let the restlessness be in your consciousness for a moment or two.
Now returning to the breath, see if you can take that restless or nervous energy and fold it into the breath. Letting the energy get swept up in the breath and then letting it flow out of the body with each exhalation.
As you fold that nervous or restless energy into the breath, you are letting the breath provide a vehicle for its release. And with each subsequent of exhalation, you move into a deep place of calm, peace and relaxation.
Now we are going to take this practice one step further and as we learn to flow with change.
Now I want you to imagine sitting safely on a log at the edge of a babbling brook. Your feet are in the cool but comfortable water. There is a faint scent of wildflowers in the air. You can feel the warmth of the sun on your face and a sense of peace in the body. As you breathe in, your whole being softens and expands with the breath. And as you breathe out, a deep sense of comfort and ease flows down the body and into the brook.
Just take a few moments to be really present and take in these beautiful surroundings.
I want you now to focus on moving your breath into the babbling brook. Taking in each breath and allowing it to flow down the body and into the brook. As you do this you feel a deep connection between you and the natural world. You understand that you and the natural world are not separate but part of each other. And as the brook flows gently by, allow yourself to surrender to the flow. Connecting yourself to the natural flow of life.
Now I want you to expand your awareness slightly, seeing if you can be the water for a moment. To explore what it would feel like to flow with ease. Not moving to fast or too slow – Just flowing at the perfect pace, in the perfect time.
And just like the breath, allow the water to be a vehicle for any unwanted energy. Letting the pent up energy be released by the breath and flow out and away in the water. Letting the water carry away any stress, or stagnant energy leaving you feeling refreshed and balanced.
Take a few moments and move with the water, letting it take what you no longer want to hold onto and allow yourself to receive rejuvenation and peace in its place.
Pause
Now I want you to bring yourself back to sit on the log at the edge of the brook. Feeling the cool comfortable water on your feet and the warmth of the sun on your face. Notice the deeper sense of connection between you and your surroundings. The deeper sense of peace and groundedness. Remembering that you can come back to the flow of water anytime your life seems too hectic or out of control knowing that you can come back to this movement of ease and grace.
So much of our suffering comes from trying to stop the flow, to stifle the restlessness, but relief comes from being able to flow with change. By connecting to the movement of the natural world and seeing our ability to do so with ease and grace.
Now bring your awareness back into your body as you sit in the chair. Feel the firm ground beneath your feet. Take a deep breath to bring you back to your body. Become aware of your surroundings and when you feel ready, opening your eyes, aware, and alert.
