Open your hands facing the heavens, cupping them together. The air, crisp and cool, dances around your fingertips, whispering secrets carried from distant galaxies. Your palms, like ancient vessels, cradle the intangible, the hopes, dreams, and cosmic dust that drifts through the celestial expanse. Imagine the weight of stardust settling into your cupped hands. Each particle, born in the fiery cores of distant suns, bears witness to eons of cosmic ballet. They tell stories of birth and death, of gravity’s tender embrace and the fierce explosions that birthed nebulae. You, the custodian of these cosmic fragments, stand at the intersection of time and space. As you lift your hands, the sky responds. Stars twinkle in acknowledgment, their light traveling millions of years to meet your gaze. The moon, a silver crescent, peeks through the veil of night, casting its glow upon your upturned palms.

They, too, have known struggle, the push against gravity, the quest for light. Together, you form a silent pact: growth, even through adversity.

Let them rest there, like fallen leaves awaiting transformation. Now, your right hand, the hand of illumination. Imagine it glowing with a soft, golden light. This light is love, the kind that forgives, heals, and transcends. Into this hand, release the judgments, the harsh words you’ve spoken to yourself, the grudges you’ve held against others. Let them dissolve in the warmth of compassion. Your mind joins this sacred dance. Thoughts, like butterflies, flutter around you. Some are radiant ideas that lift you higher, dreams that paint the sky. Others are heavy fears that anchor you, memories that pull you back.
