Receiving Starlight
Stand comfortably.
Imagine light from the many stars overhead entering through the top of the head (baihui).
The light travels through the neck, chest, torso, waist, hips, legs, out the soles of the feet, and into the ground.
As it descends, it goes through all the internal organs.
Optionally, use hands to guide imagination, reaching up and slowly bring the light through the body.
The light feels refreshing, soothing, and peaceful.
Repeat about ten times.
Al Chungliang Huang does a similar exercise imagining cooling rain water.
[how is it?]
