The Star Prelude
I want you to see above your head a beautiful, beautiful star. This
star is very special to you, as it is your very own star. It can be
any color you like. You might see it as being a purple star, or
perhaps a pink one, or blue, or yellow, or is it a speckled star? Or
a silver one? Because it is your very own star, it could be any
color
or colors you choose.
This special star is filled with white light, lovely white light
that
shimmers and glows. I want you to see this light streaming down
toward you until it reaches the very top of your head. And now I
want
you to bring this pure light down through your head and take it
right
down your body until your whole body is filled with this glorious
white light.
I want you to feel the light going down your arms, right down, until
you feel it reaching your hands and going into each and every
finger.
Feel that light going down the trunk of your body, down until it
reaches your legs, and when you feel it there, take it right down
until it comes to your feet and then feel the light going through
each toe.
I now want you to look into your heart and to fill your heart with
love for all the people and animals in the world. They are your
friends, be they small or large. Can you see your heart getting
bigger and bigger? Its expanding because you have so much love in
your heart for all these people and the animals, and of course for
yourself.
Now your guardian angel is waiting to wrap golden wings of
protection
around you before taking you into your garden. The angel's wings
are
very large and very soft, just like down. Everyone has there own
guardian angel and that guardian angel takes care of you and
protects
you always, so you are never alone. Its important to remember this
and to know that you have someone that looks after you with love and
care. Your guardian angel is now going to take you to a garden that
is your own special place, but before you enter I want you to look
at
the large tree that is outside.
This tree is called the Worry Tree. I want you to pin on this tree
anything that might worry you, perhaps you have had some arguments
at
school or maybe you are having difficulty with your schoolwork. This
tree will take any worries at all, be it with your friends or
family.
This tree accepts anything that you would care to pin there.
Your guardian angel is now opening the gate for you to enter, and as
you go in you find the colors are like nothing you have seen
before.
The beauty of the flowers, the colors, the textures, and the
perfume -
- breathe them in. The grass is a vivid green and the sky a
beautiful
blue with little white fluffy clouds. It is very peaceful in your
garden. It is full of love and harmony.
(You may feel this prelude is very long, but it is wise to create
with care, thought, and feeling the setting your child is entering.
When your child is used to it, the prelude may become shorter, as it
is not always necessary to describe the star and the angel in such
full detail. Then it becomes something like the shorter version
below. )
I want you to see above your head a beautiful, beautiful star. This
star is filled with lovely white light. I want you to bring the
white
light from that star right down through your body until you can feel
it in every part of your body, and your heart is filled with love
for
all humanity and for all creatures great and small. Your guardian
angel is waiting for you to wrap a golden cloak of protection around
you and take you to the Worry Tree. Put anything those worries you
on
the tree and then your guardian will open the gate and take you
inside the garden. Your garden is filled with glorious flowers, the
grass and the trees are an emerald green, and the sky a deep blue
with little white clouds. After you have set the seen, as it were,
you can do anything with the children that you think that they would
enjoy.
Become a child again yourself, I think you will be surprised at the
pleasure these flights of fantasy will give you.
