Billie Atoms was a young, brave space and time traveller who wanted to explore the stars. He was determined to find out all he could and see what adventures lay ahead.
One day, Billie decided that today would be the day he left his home planet and set off on a journey of discovery. After many hours of travelling, Billie eventually arrived at an asteroid in the furthest reaches of space. As he got closer and closer, he noticed something curious: the asteroid seemed to be glowing with a soft pink light!
Billie cautiously opened the door of his spaceship and stepped onto the surface of the asteroid. The ground felt warm beneath his feet and it seemed like nothing he had ever experienced before. Everywhere he looked, he could see a different coloured light shimmering and dancing around him.
He decided to explore further and began walking towards the centre of the asteroid. As he got closer, he noticed many little butterflies with sparkly wings that seemed to be playing a game together. They were laughing and flying around in circles, seemingly unaware of Billie’s presence. He stopped for a moment, mesmerised by their beauty and joy.
Billie slowly continued his journey, soon arriving at the centre of the asteroid. He was surprised to find a small pond with a frog perched on a rock in the middle. As Billie watched, he noticed that the little butterflies had gathered around the pond and were taking turns to drink from it and were helping each other by resting on each others backs to drink. They seemed to be playing together and cooperating for – kindness!
This beautiful sight filled Billie with joy and he realized that even though he was far away from home, there is always kindness in the world. After admiring the moment for some time, Billie decided he should get back to his spaceship before it got too dark outside. But first, he did some sleep meditations to relax himself before closing his eyes.
After some time, Billie eventually made his way back to his spaceship feeling content and peaceful from all the wonderful things he had seen on the asteroid. As he settled into bed, he could not sleep he was too excited.
Billie closed his eyes and took some deep breaths and focussed on ‘Star Breathing’ to help him sleep. He imagined himself drifting up into the sky as he breathed in and out, feeling calmer and more relaxed with each breath.
He then visualised a big star shining brightly above him, expanding its light until it filled his entire body. Finally, he imagined shrinking down into the middle of this star until he felt like he had become one with it and could feel its healing energy all around him.
After a few more minutes of this meditation, Billie eventually fell into a deep and peaceful sleep. During his sleep, he dreamed of the stars and the little creatures that had welcomed him so warmly on the asteroid. He woke up feeling refreshed and relaxed – ready to explore more mysteries of the universe!
Slowly, he felt his body drift off into a soothing, deep sleep. Billie had had an incredible adventure on the asteroid and now it was time for him to rest after all his explorations.
Do you want to do the breathing star with Billie? Ok close your eyes, imagining that each breath is a star in the night sky.
See you next time
