The Traveller and The Flame: Comet ATLAS Meditation
There is so much chatter out there about 3I/ATLAS an interstellar comet that was discovered in 2025 by the NASA-funded ATLAS survey telescope. It is the third known interstellar object to pass through our solar system, which is why it is designated "3I" for the third interstellar object.
The comet is not a threat to Earth and is being studied to learn more about objects from outside our solar system. So while it has no physical effect on Earth, it offers a moment to reflect on our cosmic connection ,that we, too, are made of the same stardust traveling through time and space.
I thought a few of you may be interested in this meditation . Guided Meditation: Meeting the Cosmic Messenger
1. GROUNDING (1 MIN.) Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Feel your body resting on the chair or floor, supported by the Earth beneath you. Imagine roots growing from your feet and spine, down deep into the soil, anchoring you firmly, safely.
2. EXPANDING AWARENESS ( 1MIN.) Now bring your awareness upward. Imagine above your head a wide sky, filled with stars. See yourself under a vast cosmic dome. With each breath, expand your awareness out beyond this room, out beyond the atmosphere, into the quiet expanse of space.
3. CALLING THE COMET (1-2 MINS.) In this space, a traveller appears , the interstellar comet ATLAS. It shines faintly, wrapped in a veil of gas and light, carrying the memory of another star system. This messenger has crossed unimaginable distances to pass near our Sun and to pass near us. Allow yourself to sense it , perhaps you see it, perhaps you only feel a presence, a vibration, a stirring. Notice its energy: ancient, yet new; foreign, yet familiar.
4. RECEIVING THE MESSAGE (3-4 MINS.) Now, silently, open your heart. Ask the comet: What message do you carry for me? For my path? Listen without expectation. The message may come as words, images, a sensation in your body, or a feeling of knowing. Trust whatever arises. Let it flow in gently, as if you are downloading starlight into your being.
5.RETURNING & ANCHORING (1-2 MINS.)** When you are ready, thank the comet for its gift. Imagine placing this message into your heart, like a glowing seed. Slowly, bring your awareness back to your body. Feel your feet, your hands, your breath. Take a deep breath in and out. Gently wiggle your fingers and toes. When you are ready, open your eyes, carrying with you the message of the cosmic messenger.
