Good evening, welcome and good night. I'm delighted you can join us this evening for this very special journey. Whether you've had a busy day or a peaceful one the chances are light has been there with you. So tonight we're returning the favor. We're going to be hitching a ride with light the energy that makes the visible, visible. There's only one vehicle that makes this possible. Luckily, it's one that you already own, your imagination. So just lie back, close your eyes and listen. Your imagination will do the rest. Before we begin, I always like to start with a little wind down exercise. Tonight's wind down is a visualization. So when you're ready, let's begin. Just take a moment to get comfortable letting go of the day, enjoying that feeling of having stopped, of having nothing left to do. We're going to focus the attention of the mind on the different parts of the body. Watching as the muscles in the body switch off for the night, leaving the body feeling rested and leaving the mind more at ease. So starting down at the toes and just a sense of the muscles switching off the feet, the arches all those muscles switching off same in the lower half of the legs. So any tension being let go of as the muscle switch off, shut down in the upper half of the legs any tension melting away being let go of into the area of the hips, the pelvis. Again, any muscles shutting down for the night, completely at rest. Everything from the waist downward is heavy at ease. The muscles in the lower back and the stomach now switching off middle of the back, around the diaphragm, the upper back, and the chest. So, any muscles not needed shutting down switching off for the night, the shoulders switching off, the upper half of the arms, and the lower half of the arms switching off the hands, fingers, just switching off. Any muscles around the throat, and the neck, switching off the head, the face, the jaw, the eyes, any last areas of tension, melting away as the muscles shut down, switch off at rest for the night and allowing thoughts to come and go, allowing the mind and body the space they need to rest. The sun is setting, and light is fading from the world. Light's journey is over for another day. Here, we can relax, and reflect on all the things light did today. Light exists in many places at once, and takes many different forms. So, the night gives us a chance to consider everything it's done since it appeared over our horizon. We know some of light's journey, of course, because light was with us on our journeys too, but what about all the parts of light we missed? During the daytime, light is always so fleeting, but now, using the power of imagination, we have the chance to see light up close....
