Here 's a little exercise to experience the support of the Universe...

The following is an excerpt from page 41 of “The Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Skills Workbook: Practice DBT exercises for learning mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance” (2007) M. McKay, J.C. Wood, J. Brantley.

“Look up at the stars. The light you’re seeing is millions of years old, and it has traveled from

stars that are billions of miles away. In fact, each time you look up at the stars, you’re looking

through a time machine and seeing the universe as it looked billions of years ago. Strangely,

many of the stars you’re looking at have already died, but their light is just reaching your eyes

on the Earth. Look up at the stars and recognize that whatever created them also created you, whether it was God or a cosmic accident. You are connected to the stars. Imagine yourself connecting with the universe. Sit in a comfortable chair, close your eyes, imagine a white beam of light shining down from the universe. Like a laser beam the white light shines on the top of your head and fills you with a feeling of peace. Now imagine the white light spreading all over your body, relaxing every muscle. Now imagine your legs stretching down through the floor like giant tree trunks, going all the way down into the centre of the Earth. Imagine these roots tapping into the energy that drives the planet. Feel your body fill with confidence as your legs absorb the golden energy flowing up from the Earth.”
