Star Wars™ Islands of Ahch-To™

The suns have just begun to set along the rocky coast of Ahch-To, home of the first Jedi Temple. A gentle rain falls down through the patchy clouds, glimmering off the fields of wild grass that cover the cliff side. Along the edge of the island, a collection of large boulders stand upright, seeming to defy gravity. Their jagged edges have been carved by centuries of wind and erosion, giving each one a unique character and presence. At this time of day, with the suns hanging low on the horizon, the rocky cliff side becomes a resting place for the island's natural inhabitants. Families of Porgs make their way into their burrowed homes, huddling together for warmth as night quickly approaches. At the hilltops, the island's devoted caretakers, the Lanai, wrap up their daily duties and take refuge from the rain in their stone huts. Now, with the island's activity coming to a slow stop, let's settle in for the evening with a short wind down exercise. Tonight's wind down is a visualization. So when you're ready, let's begin. So no matter what's been going on today, whether it's been a busy day or a calm one, this is an opportunity to put everything down, to let go of any inner chatter and find a place of rest in both the body and the mind. So first, get yourself comfortable in bed, just taking a moment to pause and be still. And when you're ready, taking a big, deep breath, breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. And as you breathe out, allowing the body to sink down into your bed, feeling the weight of the body, allowing thoughts to come and go. Now, imagining... a steady flow of warm sunlight flowing down through the body, dissolving any tension, any discomfort as it begins to fill the body. Starting with the toes, moving up through the feet and the legs, being filled with sunlight; the qualities of warmth, space, and ease as it continues to travel up through the body, up past the waist, through the back, and the stomach. It's as though it washes away any discomfort. It continues up through the chest and the upper back into the shoulders and down the arms, all the way down to the hands and fingers. A sense of relief in the body and stillness in the mind as it continues to travel up through the neck and the throat, into the head and face, all the way to the very top of the body until there's nothing other than the sense of stillness remaining. And now, just gently bringing the attention back to the body. Outside the Jedi Temple, a shimmering blue apparition of Jedi master Yoda blinks thoughtfully, his wise eyes scanning the horizon. Behind him, the sea sprawls out in the rain, and the moon fades again from view. His gray robe sweeps the ground as he walks down the staggered stone steps towards the shoreline....
