There are children arriving now—bright, wise, and deeply sensitive—who feel everything more acutely than we once did. These tender hearts often find it difficult to settle into a world that can feel loud, fast, and overwhelming. And as Gaia continues to evolve, so do the souls she welcomes. Many of these young ones come in with expanded awareness, but without the filters we used to rely on to make sense of this realm.
When my daughter was little, I used to guide her through a simple visualization before bed. She would instantly settle into her body, exhale, and drift off with ease. That memory stayed with me, and I felt called to create a version of that ritual for the many sensitive children—and their guardians—who might need it now.
I’ve been told by the Sky Grandmothers that I carry grandmother energy and that it's time for me to help tend to the children of this shifting world, holding a soft, safe space for their magic to root. This is one small offering in that spirit of care.
✨ What is Star Cocoon?
Star Cocoon is a short, rhyming guided meditation designed especially for sensitive souls—children and the inner child in us all. It’s soft, grounding, and gently cosmic. The audio is 8 minutes long:
About 4 minutes of guided meditation in rhyming verse
1 minute of spacious breathing
3 minutes of ethereal instrumental music to float into sleep
It’s completely free to listen to and download. If it nourishes your heart and you feel called, you’re welcome to offer an energy exchange through the tip options that come up during check out. Your support helps me continue creating heartfelt content and staying true to this path of gentle service.
💫 Read the Full Meditation (for Guardians)
Below is the full meditation text so parents, guardians, and caregivers can preview it. Though it’s designed to be nurturing, grounding, and imagination-rich I realize anything can be triggering to young one. I suggest you give it a read to see if anything stands out before listening with your child.
🤲 A Final Whisper
We are all remembering how to care for one another again—not through effort, but through presence. May this offering help the next generation feel more at home in their bodies and in this world. And may it remind us all that we are still held, even when we forget.
Good night, sweet ones. Sweet dreams. 🦋
TRANSCRIPT
“Star Cocoon” – A Nighttime Meditation for Sensitive Souls ✨
Hello sweet star, it’s time to rest,
To cozy your heart in a little nest.
Let’s take a breath, not big, not fast—
Just soft and gentle… make it last.
Breathe in your nose like you’re smelling a rose… 🌹
Breathe out your mouth like a breeze through the trees… 🌳
Again, nice and slow, with nothing to do—
Just the breath and me and you.
Breathe in your nose like you’re smelling a rose… 🌹
Breathe out your mouth like a breeze through the trees… 🌳
Now picture a garden, quiet and deep,
Where moonlight sings the world to sleep.
The stars above all twinkle and play,
And one star knows you in a special way.
It shines just for you, warm and bright,
And sends you a hug made out of light.
It wraps you up from head to toe,
And whispers softly, sweet and low:
"You are safe. You are strong.
You’ve been loved all along."
Breathe in your nose like you’re smelling a rose… 🌹
Breathe out your mouth like a breeze through the trees… 🌳
Let that light go down your spine,
Like warm cocoa or a glowing line.
Down through your belly, legs, and toes—
Wherever it touches, calmness grows.
Now to your fingers, soft and small,
Your cheeks, your chin—feel peace in all.
Let your whole face relax and sigh,
Like a bunny curled beneath the sky.
Now picture your feet with roots so sweet,
They grow and stretch where earth and ground meet.
The Earth below says, “Hi, dear one—
You’re safe with me. Your day is done.”
Breathe in your nose like you’re smelling a rose… 🌹
Breathe out your mouth like a breeze through the trees… 🌳
Inside your heart’s a secret room,
It glows so gently, like the moon.
There’s no lock—just think it near,
And when you do, you’re always here.
In the middle, there’s a dancing flame,
It knows your light, it knows your name.
It never leaves, it never hides,
It holds your dreams and walks beside.
Just like a butterfly waits inside,
Wrapped in a cocoon where dreams abide,
You’re held in light that helps you grow,
Becoming more than you yet know.
You can rest here anytime,
Wrapped in stillness, soft as rhyme.
Your breath a lullaby so slow,
Rocking gently to and fro…
Breathe in your nose like you’re smelling a rose… 🌹
Breathe out your mouth like a breeze through the trees… 🌳
When it’s time to sleep tonight,
Wrap yourself in starry light.
It’s a cocoon, soft and true—
And when you wake, it stays with you.
Because the light that shines so wide…
Is not out there—it lives inside.
You are light. You are love. You are home.
And you will never be alone. 🌟
Good night, sweetheart. Sweet dreams. 🦋

I do work with AI and because of this it understands my goals and how to structure my ideals and content in ways that resonate with me. It produced the first version of this poem without me even asking. After several back and forths we landed on this lovely little piece.
